my recommendation would be to buy a Pitchfork for turning the pile, and a (cheap) Machete for cutting things smaller. turning the pile is VERY important, i turn mine weekly.

so you dont have to veg for a silly amount of time to fill the space with 1 plant.

holes in your container will help immensely. holes in the side let air exchange throughout the roots. http://www.hobbes-l.tc/uploads/equipment_-_pdf.pdf click on the link and scroll/read until you find "Root Pruning Pots"

good stuff, what you are looking for is Molasses. NPK=1-0-5 also feeds your microbes with simple sugars. with Greensand in your dirt and molasses in your tea you should be fine. on another note, because you are brewing a tea you could add some old Banana's from the fridge or local store, they...

if your run-off PH is significantly lower then your feed, your mix is lacking Dolomite Lime or Crushed Oyster Shell.

go for Plant Prod 15-15-30 i just bot a box of it at Canadian tire for like 8 bucks. mel frank tells me plants need almost twice the amount of K rather then P. bone meal as a flowering fert? it contains NO Potassium! good luck.

Alaska Fish Emulsion is used by quite a few members on this board, myself included. PS, although it says it "wont burn", it will if you use too much. start with a teaspoon per gallon and slowly work your way up. and it stinks...alot.

i have found Alfalfa Pellets really make my tea go crazy the foam looks kinda like an afro on top of a 5 gal bucket.

NO BANANA PEELS UNLESS THEY ARE SPECIFIED AS ORGANIC. INORGANIC BANANA'S ARE TREATED WITH EVERYTHING UNDER THEN SUN. peel those banana's and put the fruit in the compost pile.

all of those things make it into my worm composter, and the vermicompost goes to my girls, so yes i have tried that and it works great. to make eggshells more available, put them through a coffee grinder. one warning about coffee grounds is this- plants hate caffeine. so only used coffee grounds...

nice post, i see so many people using Pro-mix straight and thinking its ok..... it says it is buffered to a ph of 5.8-6.2 so it might work for the first week, until you feed acidic nutrients. PS, ShowMeTheSmoke 1 cubic foot is 7 gallons, or 1 and a half 5gal buckets. if you want some longer...

look for a southern slope, they heat up much quicker then flat land. sunlight is your friend.

add 1 cup per cubic foot of Dolomite Lime, and just water for a few weeks.

use your ph pen to test run-off ph when you water only water, Pro-Mix should definetly be amnemded with 1 cup per cubic foot Dolomite Lime, if you use the correct amounts of Dolomite you shouldnt run into Mag problems. if you have a Magnesium defeciency a foliar feed of 1/2 tsp of Epsom Salt per...

HOLY SHIT, THANK YOU. i was on the verge of spelling it out myself, nice link/thread one big REP inbound

the twin artificial suns in our shed would FRY the girls if we misted! unless its neem or nutrients (Magnesium is absorbed especially quick via leaves), i have enough goddam humidity.

site smells like a scam. and even if it isnt, it still is.

it very well could be a PH issue. im guessing you dont have a ph kit? that Miracle Gro is very acidic! go buy some Dolomite Lime from anywhere with a garden centre like RIGHT NOW and top dress 1 cup of it, then continue with nutrients.

i currently have AK-48 beside some Swiss Cheese, both from nirvana, and the swiss cheese is HUGE compared to the very short, slow budding AK. currently on day 36 and there is no way i would harvest in less then 2 weeks!! they only look like they are on week 2-3 but they are on week 5! all in...

being that i live on the coast, i use fresh, chopped Bull Kelp Stipe & Bulb (see pic) in my dirt and tea's, its nice because it dosent go "slimy" like most fresh kelp. i am also looking to buy some Greensand on the weekend.
