I could type on this subject for hours LOL Ask any oldtimer from the woodstock era if the awesome weed we had in the 60's & 70's stunk like it does today ? It didn't, I was there :)

The stink happened in the late 70's/early 80's when Skunk #1 X Afghan came out, the beginning of Indica Hybrids and the implementation of HPS lights leading to more indoor growing

I well remember when it first came out, we all thought it was produced by the cops/fed in order to catch more of us LOL A conspiracy theory before conspiracy theories were popular :)

it's Calcined Clay , here is the ditty I wrote years ago, links might be dead ?

Calcined Clay, A Well Kept Secret

I am getting ready to set up my next grow and a big part of that was looking for the perfect soilless mix to work with my style of growing. I picked SunShine Mix #4 as my base and if you read my ditty on Silica then you would know I plan on mixing in some Diatomite.

I am constantly reading and researching, as things I read lead me to more info to be researched. I recently came across and read the PH Manifesto (and advise everyone read it) it mentioned mixing Calcined Clay with SunShine Mix #4 and off I went to discover why ?

What I found was that Calcined Clay is one of Container Gardening's best kept secrets. Originally used to make golf course greens stay greener back in the 50's it was not well accepted by gardeners and never really caught on untill recently. The benefits are considerable and adding this to your medium is simply a no brainer!

I am going to share links rather than quoteing simply because some of these links are really good reads with lots of great info (quotes would require severals parts to complete the post)

a great pdf about mixing your own potting mix

Pretty blown away by your gardening style, you sure have it dialled in. i couldn't see anywhere how much you water and how often? also what ec you run your nutes at, if you care to share. Nice plants, sure is rewarding having them, looks like they throughly enjoy your company too.

from all the pics of your seeds i think you'll need many lifetimes to grow them all or just have to start a mega farm!

I don't do EC, have never owned a pen/meter. I never follow any kind of schedule. I feed based on what I see and I like very low doses of nutes. I use chems and mostly use 1/4 teaspoon to a gallon

and Thank You !

Okay RM3, first link read. I will read the rest later, if I havent lost them already.

I'm interested in your book but the wife won't let me spend another dime on this hobby for a bit.

I use a 2', 4 bulb t5 for seedlings. I'm putting in my flower tent now.

You are a cannamagician!

Peace
