HELLOOOOOO! (echo: helloooooo!) damn what happened?! It's like a desert in here haha started this thread just to check in and say whats up...chime in and let us know you're alive damn. how have you guys been? learn anything new?

nice pics! kudos for outdoor.

Its good right out of the bag for about 4 weeks. just water and cal mag at recommended specs. then you'll need to feed with your nutrient lineup after about a month. I re-amend with organic ferts and reuse, but it has compaction issues after a couple times and needs more coco/peat and perlite...

I saw the guy outside, and asked him if he would mind if I tried to make friends with the dogs, give them a treat maybe. He told me to leave his dogs alone, and went inside. JEEZ! Well that answers that! What a douche bag. I'm sorry I feel ya on someone openly displaying a firearm at the...

For sure. Personally though, I just would feel weird packing a gun at my kids bus stop. And if I noticed someone else packin at the bus stop, I'd have serious reservations about even sending my kid to school that day. I don't know how cool your neighbor is, or if you guys talk at all, but maybe...

I have a german shepherd (my 3rd) that barks at my neighbors when they move the trashcans, and it sounds mean, but if he got out....he would run up on you, sniff, and jump up to lick your face. while that would be scary to most because he's so big he'd knock you over and likely scratch you with...

all my stuff that was damaged were veggies and flowers. I had already harvested the "girls" , I have a tiny giesel plant out there but she was unaffected I had some bigger plants go through the hard frost last Jan. I covered them with a bed sheet every night and the buds would freeze...

growing anything outside in AZ def comes with a learning curve As a gardener, here are some hurdles you're likely to be the only one in your neighborhood with a green thumb. most folks don't want to fight the sun or pay higher water bills, so their properties look like crap. the bugs WILL...

I try to learn something from everyone, every chance I get, and I hope people learn from me too. I do plenty of reading and research on my own. I was talking about the attitude around here, its lame as fuck. I want to learn, always. what I don't understand is the "my way or the highway"...

and that's why i don't hardly post here anymore..... RIU is just as good as any other forum..... ive only met hacker once, but he was way cool, gave me some samples, we've talked on HB, the phone, every time I asked for his help, he tried to help. several times I've asked treep a question...

also....basically an ounce at a time using everclear http://youtu.be/0sGWxz0DMSI

i use fish bone meal in the mix too, forgot that one. a soil analysis is a good idea, but organics is supposed to be easy. also i feed regular poop soups along the way, so that should help regulate NPK shortages imo. initially when I amend the soil, it's geared toward a flowering mix so I aim...

honestly man i have no idea, because I feel like I totally understand what I'm doing and put it into practice correctly. I try to build a decent soil with amendments like greensand, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, humic dust, gypsum, dolomite, castings, etc then add lots of compost, some...

both but mostly indoors, the main enemies for me are mites, aphids, and the dreaded leafhopper I've never grown a 1 lb plant, sadly. but things are lookin very promising I recently phased some stuff out (SSH, Giesel, Irukandji), and started some new strains. NL, Fire OG, Sour Diesel, and...

it won't hurt and it won't help its supposed to be an attempt to start the flower cycle faster or harder. The hormone that triggers the bloom cycle builds up in the dark hours and is interrupted when the lights come on.. So instead of waiting for that hormone to build up slowly in the first few...
