    Soil Mixing and curing questions

    I was trying to imitate KIS' Water-only Biochar soil. The ingredients are listed here: https://www.kisorganics.com/collections/organic-soil-for-sale-bulk-potting-soil-mix/products/kis-organics-biochar-soil-mix My Dyslexic arse messed up on the math on the mineral mix and used 4 cups of each...

    Soil Mixing and curing questions

    I mixed up a batch of soil and it's been curing/cooking for 48 days. I'll post the complete recipe below but its a Coots Mix base that I included all the additional amendments found in KIS Organics' complete soil mix; and Tad even gave me recommendations on the amount of each amendment to add...

    Root Riot cubes - questions

    What’s tge right way to start seeds with these cubes? I put some seeds I’d popped with a 48hr soak in distilled water but the haven’t sprouted in 6-7 days and I’m pretty sure they got waterlogged - they were totally saturated to capacity after soaking up water from the tray below. I filled the...

    Germination/starting issues

    Thanks man! Yeah, I’ve got too much free time on my hands so I’m prolly worrying about them more than necesssry. But it’s the cost of the seeds that concerns me most. Money is tight right now. I dug one up gently and put it in a Root Riot cube under a fluorescent fixture I got. Also started...

    Germination/starting issues

    I germinated (or attempted to) 9 seeds in distilled water and only had 5 create roots, although all of them cracked; and they sure seem to be slow to get started. Hoping to get some advice. I dropped them into distilled water at noon on July 25. At noon on the 27th I put them (all had crashed...

    Texas Outdoor Grower Thread

    It’s a cool 101 here today as I’m watching some seeds breaking ground. I’ve got some White Widows that are really lagging, ugh! I hear ya on the seeds. I’m going to make some for myself this fall. Good luck with yours!

    ”Feminized” or “Regular” seeds....and why?

    Gotcha! That makes a lot of sense. Sucks they left RIU like that, though. Thanks for the clarification - I’m kinda slow with all the acronyms. Lol

    ”Feminized” or “Regular” seeds....and why?

    Thanks for all the great replies! I learned a lot more than I expected to and that’s awesome! That video was really informative. What is the “IG?” Why did the rec vote in CA break the Outdoor section?

    Texas Outdoor Grower Thread

    Ok y’all, I shouldn’t have made the comment. Let’s try to stay off the hot topic of politics. Like the dining room table my mom always forbid religion and politics, aside from prayer. Hard to do in a politically active family but it sure worked. I have good friends of ALL political persuasions...

    X10! This heat is absolutely ridiculous. Heck, it’ll almost make you think there’s something to that while climate change thing! Lol!

    Texas Outdoor Grower Thread

    Outside, stand alone. Maybe one day I can afford a greenhouse. Lol! Right now I’m just trying to afford a indoor setup. I just returned to growing after a couple of decades ‘off’ and I’m starting off a little slow. I just know our temperatures, pests and illnesses can be different than a lot of...

    Big Bang from Greenhouse Seeds - Any Good? something that produces big yeikds?

    Do people rave about it for outdoors? That’s all I can really do for now. I plan on growing some photosensitive Big Bud next season but I’m toying with the idea of planting some autos outside here shortly.

    Texas Outdoor Grower Thread

    Any other Texas growers on here? Thought it might be cool to have a thread dedicated to Texas outdoor growers so we can help each other. I’m in south Texas and some of the issues down here (not to mention our weather, lol) is SO different than what many RollItUp growers deal with. So, if you’re...

    ”Feminized” or “Regular” seeds....and why?

    That explains a lot. Thanks so much! Feminized seeds can be produced in nature through rhodelization. So, using colloidal silver to inspire a female to prove that special pollen isn’t modifying the genes of the plant in the same way as labs splicing in perticular genes and messing with DNA. If...

    Big Bang from Greenhouse Seeds - Any Good? something that produces big yeikds?

    Anyone have any experience (preferably outdoors) with Big Bang auto flower from Greenhouse seeds? I’m a little confused by the breeder’s description that says it yields 900g/m2 but only 45g/m2 outdoors. WTF? Lol! I read about this auto strain in an article about great seeds for outdoor growing...

    Outdoor Auto Thread

    Anyone have any auto strain suggestions for a large yield with 18%+ THC that’ll do well in a hot, sunny, arid climate? Looking for something fairly easy to grow with some mold resistance. Looking to plant something in a couple weeks and harvest in late October or November, when our highs will be...

    ”Feminized” or “Regular” seeds....and why?

    Thanks y’all. That’s pretty much what I suspected but wanted to confirm because you what they say about ass-uming things. What threw me was the pricing, by some companies where “regular” seeds are, somtetines as expensive or even more expensive than the feminized seeds that are far mire...

    The Seed Bank - what happened to the original?

    What happened to the original, “The Seed Bank?” In Amsterdam? Back in the early and mid 80’s I got a bunch of seeds from The Seed Bank via a paper catalog that was advertised in High Times. Yes, folks, we used to have printed catalogs and magazines prior to the creation of the internet! Lol...

    ”Feminized” or “Regular” seeds....and why?

    I’m just now getting back into growing after 25+ years and I’m wondering about the difference between regular seeds and feminized, aside from the obvious? There weren’t any “feminized” or “auto- flower” seeds when I last grew. I’ve read a couple of articles claiming that plants from feminized...

    Need pot size advice

    Ok, I took y’all’s advice and went bigger. I got some 10g, 15g and 30g bags. I’m going to do some comparisons - I’ll put one one auto variety into both 3g and 10g and one phot variety into 15g, 30g and into the ground. It’ll be interesting to see the differences in harvest during the same...
