Hey mountaingirl!
I am a fellow Coloradoan, a caregiver for a few needy patients and I am desperately questing after a high CBD low THC strain to grow for serious medicine! It is amazing how covetous people can be with these highly medicinial strains! Any chance you're into sharing or selling...
I think this is a very interesting topic max!
I have recently been messing around with my nutrient formulas a lot in an attempt to step out from the "nutrient manufacturers shadow" and determine for myself the optimal NPK/Ca:Mg levels for both veg and flower. All of my experimentation has been...
Does anybody have any thoughts on this matter?
After further analysis, I am still under the impression that I am seeing magnesium deficiency And i'm thinking it might be as simple as I'm not adding enough cal-mag and epsoms to compensate for the RO water.
How much Cal-Mag do growers really...
I have been a successful grower in the past with my personally tweaked schedule of GH 3-part with some epsoms and additional PK boosts during flower.
Some details:
Ebb and Flow of 5gal buckets with Hydroton clay
Ph around 5.8 - stays pretty steady
PPM 750-800 @ 700 conversion - Also stays...
XxM1k3YxX - Your pics look to me like either potassium or calcium deficiency. The lower leaves which are starting to exhibit interveinal chlorosis indicate a K(potassium) deficiency, which is accompanied by the edges burning as you are seeing. However you can see an edge burn from simply a...

Hey Smokey,
I know its been a while since you asked the question, but the reason your bud smells like hay is because you jarred it too early. Always leave it hanging to air dry until the outside seems real crispy, there is still moisture down inside! Then put it into containers and leave them...
Greetings Heisenberg!
First off I would like to thank you for being the one to share these amazing pieces of knowledge with me, it has helped immensely!
I know you said you currently have limited internet access, but whenever you get the time I have a few more tea questions:
1) I just...
Hmmm, it sounds like that plant was pretty small. Mine are a good 2-3 feet and bushy, with root balls filling half to 3/4 of a five gal bucket, and they are three weeks into flower.
Does anybody have experience transplanting hydro into soil with a plant this size and/or during flower? Any tips...
Hey lapperll just wondering about your technique for putting a hydro plant into soil. It has to be impossible to entirely remove the plant from the five gallon net lid, so maybe cut most of the top off? Remove as much hydroton as possible... And as for the root ball, a few are pretty damn...
Hey there Heisenberg,
Update on the Diatom dilemma: In vegetative growth I have been able to keep my plants happy with consistent use of the bene tea and res temps 69-72, Awesome!
However, I had some go into flower right before I left town for a couple weeks. While I was gone, my...
Thanks Heis,
How often do you usually do a full res change? I ask because I usually do it as often as every five to seven days in veg and four to five in flower because as you say, I also like keeping a fresh balanced batch of nutes. Do you see any issues with reinoculating that frequently?
On...
Update on the Diatom Dilemma:
Veg system I:
Plants started about two weeks ago, started to see the brown algae dust collecting and plants growing VERY slow.
Three days ago: Full res change with zho/shield bene brew
First 24 hours: Ph seems stable. A coating of tiny air bubbles collected on...
Couple more quick questions Heisenberg,
How many times, if at all, can I reuse the stalking stuffed with the AF humus? I like the idea of mixing a fresh batch of water, zho and aquashield for each brew but thought the humus might be reusable a few times. Also I noticed you recently mentioned...
