All fast growing weeds build their cell walls with tons of Si. Dandelions in a tea or worm bin can get you some Si that is easy to digest for your plants.

In the past I would curse the weeds, now I am happy to have them :)

A worm bin will give you the best nutes you have ever used. And the flavor improvement to your girls will be mind blowing!

Welcome to riu TMac

Glad you had a good time with the kids jimmer! I used to love going bowling with dad. A few of my friends worked at the local bowling ally when i was a teen, so I got to play a lot, it was fun getting to play after the place closed and have the whole place to my self. But with my back being messed up I haven't got to bowl in like 8 years, booooo. That sour cherry sounds nice, whats the smell and taste like on that?

Lmao @ Dez, I was that kid, except learning guitar! Man, now I know how horrible new players sound, hurts the ears lol!

Oldman, you'll need a slime preventive, so you need to pick a sterile res or a beneficial res. For a sterile res you can use products like Dutch Master Zone or even bleach, ammonia, chlorine, ect.. but you seem like the type that would rather use a more natural defense so for a bennie res, you'll need some bennies and enzymes. I'm still learning about the bennie res, but like i mentinoed before, pond zyme and botanicare hydroguard is fairly cheap and many people are having awesome success using those two products. Or you can brew a AACT every week and add that to the res as well.

Oh, and one more thing about the dreaded slime in dwc, if you can keep your roots healthy 100%, there really isn't a need to use those products, the slime can be present, but will not hurt the plant if the roots are completely healthy, the slime only can take hold if there are unhealthy roots that are easy for bacteria to attack. Healthy roots= no problems, unhealthy roots= really bad news

happy 4:20 dr d, it's only 2:20 here though lol. One time i had a branch break at some point and I didn't know, when i was cleaning up the grow room floor (things were only 7 weeks in flower still) i found a branch of buds, nice and dried, all leaves and everything still on it. Best early bud i've ever had. It made me want to start drying buds with all the leaves on it, but I am too afraid of mold :p anyone dry their buds with the leaves still on? It seems to make it taste and smell a lot better, is there a reason behind that?

I do about half the time, and it hold s moisture in the plant longer allowing it to eat up more of the chlorophyll.

no doubt dr d, that makes sense, it seriously tastes and smells much better, but it is a pita to trim the leaves off when theyre dry :p

I do all the time, but you know l'm so oldschool it's not funny.
I only take off the dead while the plant is still alive.

Alpha, all you need to do with soil is: get stoned, sit back close your eyes,
and feel the earth talk to you, soil is just the same as putting out a good vegetable
garden same nutes same principle. water, NPK, light, time.

no doubt oldman, i try! I used to be some what ok in soiless promix years ago, but i switched to hydro about 7 years ago and these are my first soil plants ive had since then. It seems i always underfeed now, i got purple stems all of a sudden and the calmag problem all at once, I think i fixed it for now though (I hope). It's tough getting it all dialed back in. I love Subcools supersoil, just add water and good to go, I may make a batch sometime soon but it takes a month or more to "cook". So good though! If you haven't heard of it do a search on riu for "subcool super soil" . Also, there's a good thread called "heisenburg tea" that you might want to check out. Very good advice on how to brew a nice aact :)
