    Auto fizzle

    No, I use a no spring tweezer tool to handle seeds for no pressure and seedlings foot is gently placed down, any curve is it's own problem to correct. Like I said they mostly cracked then broke ground THEN fizzled out. See pic above

    Auto fizzle

    I had the same idea and found a cage marketed for that purpose. The idea being that the roots grow thru the cage and are relatively protected during transplanting. They didn't come with a "female" cup, but a red "jiffy" cup fit it fine. I'll let you know how it works. I'll try it on photo's...

    Auto fizzle

    An experienced grower facing my first auto's season; Sprout, no problem, pops up out of soil, then stalls & dies. Never gets to true leaves, it just stalls and dies. Two suppliers. Seedlings placed in Mondi propagator on a seedling heat mat in mix of Foxfarm/Bu's Blend and perlite 33% each left...

    Never grew Auto flowering strains, couple questions

    My first auto's season; Sprout, no problem, pops up out of soil, stalls & dies. Two suppliers. Seedlings placed in Mondi propagator on a seedling heat mat left in a shady spot till true leaves appear then progressively more direct sun. Works fine for my photo period plants. Best auto was...

    to reach the most potent MCT extraction

    ALL of you need to look into MCT oil for it's benefits as opposed to any other commonly used cannabis oil extractor/holder. If just for its healthier benefits if nothing else. We can debate what medium works best for extracting the goodness from our product but it cannot be debated which of...

    to reach the most potent MCT extraction

    I've posted before asking about whether anyone has tried the method of exposing your MCT oil more than once to fresh batches of cannabis. When I'm done extracting a batch I take that same exposed MCT oil and use it again over a fresh batch of flower to increase it's potency. I've done this as...

    outdoor SoCal stunted and Bonzai year

    I'm having a stunted outcome from this year. 2226 shows five of five sprouted Gorilla Bomb (started end of April) after first re-potting not done till 5/30 due to impossibly slow growth I think from the unrelenting cloudy days and cool weather for here. (50's to 70's and NO sun VS. normally...

    I need help

    It's just the husk. It will drop off on its own. If it's stubborn you can GENTLY help it but I'd leave it alone for several days first as you could damage the sprout in the process. There will be two "cotillion" leaves that unfurl that are plain oval shape under the husk . The next set of...

    Dechlorinate city water?

    Rain? what's that? OH yes, I remember now. I used to live in the Chicago area last century. Back then I wondered when it would stop and the sun come out, now we dance outside in it when the rare occurrence happens. Our water comes from the Colorado river and is over 400ppm right out of the...

    Dechlorinate city water?

    For the organic outdoor grower it has everything to do with the soil. Chlorine kills mycorrhizae, so does hydrogen pyroxide, so I refrain from HP and dechlorinate with time and using a bubbler speeds up the process. I feed with living tea's so anything that kills these beneficial flora is...

    Leaves Pointing Straight Up Like It Has Erection!

    So if I just put some nitrogen on it mine will stand up like that? I can hardly wait to tell my wife!

    Dechlorinate city water?

    Though science says tap water's inherent chlorine or chlorimines will not "harm" your plants because they are absorbed by the upper layer of soil before reaching the roots. This thinking is for standard outdoor garden applications which indeed the chlorine may never be noticed. For an outdoor...

    Dechlorinate city water?

    I don't agree with the use of water from the water heater. City water is hard enough (mine near 400ppm) and water from the water heater will be even harder and have lime scale. Cold tap for me. Aired out of course. An air pump speeds the process if need be. And a filter if you like. I...

    Making oil out of rosin pucks

    About your MB machine, I replaced the "stirring blade" with a 1/8" flat edge true stirring blade. The original leaves too fine a residue that the filter does not catch making for a dirty oil. With alcohol extractions the original blade leaves way too much microscopic plant material making the...

    Undilluted urine for nitrogen in veg??

    Because urine shows a larger chemical diversity. The compounds found in human urine fall into 230 different chemical classes. Researchers have found that at least 3,079 compounds can be detected in urine. Seventy-two of these compounds are made by bacteria, while 1,453 come from the body...

    Undilluted urine for nitrogen in veg??

    Exactly! One of the most natural and diverse sources of nitrogen and full of nutrients depending on your diet. Taking a multivitamin a few hours before taking your urine adds all that you can't absorb (most of it) back out in the urine and adds those elements to the mix for a powerful veg...

    Making oil out of rosin pucks

    Most MCT oil is derived from coconut. MCT is not stored as fat, it's used as energy right away it has no saturated fat so it's even healthier. Check it out.

    Making oil out of rosin pucks

    Sounds reasonable, but I'm talking about making something from what you grew, not having to purchase something else to make it potent. Where did the "premade 60%+% concentrate" come from? I'm using three times the product because it's one third the strength of exotic shelf stuff. I have...

    Pot size for outdoor?

    Certainly, shorter than in the ground. That's not possible, so these work best for my application. Besides what are you doing with all your leftovers? Even my first grow in 12 gallon my 5 produced 65 oz. of flowers. So I have extra to experiment with extracts to increase the contents of...
