Hey bud, thanks for the reply!

This is my exp. with kelp 4 less, I first contacted someone thru eBay and got quoted the $54 for all the little bits, when I said to send me a invoice he said send thought the email on the site.
so I sent my email through with price and what I wanted and got reply the next day saying, they don't do these amounts and had priced me like 130 bucks plus 54 bucks shipping?!?
so I explained I had talked to someone else and that I wanted to put small order in first and the guy had given me this price and said to contact thru the site.
next day he came back and said it was cool and what address I want PayPal invoice sent, I paid him and next day got tracker.

so there may be some confusion speaking to dif people, it also took maybe two days each time to get response due to time differences, their like 6-8 hours behind us I believe.
i said to the original guy On eBay that id be posting this and on here and he may get a few euro customers and said he'd appreciate it as they need the business.

as far as getting a quote, I'd ask first for shipping costs by weight, cos its prob the same cost to order 1lb as it does 4lb, I kind of used their eBay prices as a guide, but as you've noticed some things that weight 4oz cost more to send than 1lb, I think this is just ebays fucked up way it does pricing.
you should be quoted $19.99 for upto 4lbs or $64.99 for upto 20lbs or less! That's what they quoted me and if its more, if I was you just say you found them through me and I told u that's what they quoted me, France should be the same as UK, from USA it's gonna be a Western Europe option so should be exact same price.

For Myco, use however much u can afford really, I'd say I probably lace through the soil a tablespoon for every 10 litres ish of soil, and then sprinkle all over hole when I pot up and root base. My myco is like a fine powder, I've had big granule type of myco before and would use more of this type as the pieces are bigger. Basically what your aiming for is too cover as much of the roots in the stuff as they grow. A lot of it will go along way though, I can see the 800g last me at least a year and that's prob around 20 large plants and all their repots.

as for the cheese, ive only ever grown Kalimans and big Buddhas and both were very similiar but not cheese, jus cheese like, maybe with pheno hunting u may find a cheese leaning pheno but the hybrid ain't great to start with. I've seen GHS exodus cheese grown and its a mess, it's basically a S1 I believe of a reversed cut, S1s throw out so many recessive phenos that don't even look like the cut.
I grew them before I got hold of the cut and neither I'd recommend, never tried DNA though, their stuff is generally ok. I've grown Dairy Queen and cheese quake since and I reckon out of a 10 pack you'll prob get a more 'cheesy' pheno than any of the so called cheese I've tried before. Especially the DQ, one of the phenos was near enough like the cheese, same leaf structure (take a look at Daves tunnel of cheese for leaf structure, looks identical to mine) and smelled of cheese during veg and flower, nearest I've ever had to proper cheese but still not as pungent tasting or strong high.
now there's no knowing if my cheese or even subs is the proper one, but I've smoked enough cheese or supposed cheese and mines the same. To me it smells like inside a brewery, dunno why it's called cheese as its nothin like cheese, it's the sort of smell you get when brewing hops, I've never found another strain that smell like it, it has amazing resin profile and easy to trim but is a leafy plant if you get me, as in fan leaves not sugar.

For the myco too, if you've already potted up and forgot it, aslong as its a fine powder one and soluble u can mix in with water when feed or sprinkle over top and water through, it does take a couple weeks for the myco to go into symbiosis with the roots though.

oh n kelp 4 less, I reckon is just run by some growers as I've signed up for their newsletter and its def geared towards pot growers, so may not be as efficient as it could be, oh shit, better not say that as it baks up the haters that say weed makes u lazy, lol.
and if u do ever get a invoice from em, make sure u pay with PayPal as it backs up anything if it goes wrong.
while I've been looking I did find another store similar to kelp 4 less on eBay so maybe try them. But always say ur gonna Be putting in a bigger order later even if ur not as some people may not be fucked with the hassle for a few bits! ;p

hi trichbob thanks for the reply and the info.........your mycho sounds like this product http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TNC-MycorrMax-Mycorrhizal-fungi-Trichoderma-etc-Mycorrhizae-Mycorrhiza-/251185045350?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Garden_Plants_Fertiliser_CV&var=&hash=item3a7bcb9f66 cant wait to purchase this :)

yes i will also be adding this when potting up as you stated previously needs roots to bind to etc.....

where did you find you alfalfa been looking for ages locally cant find it anywhere, may have to be a net job haha

"
Yeah, I was gonna say the same bud, should try using light mix to start the seeds off, say in a cup, then a about a week or two pot up into straight all mix in a bigger pot, then a couple weeks before flowering, pot up into final pot with SS.
you'll also find that if you pot p straight away in SS u may find it running out of steam early on"

Thanks for this....... when i germ seeds i put them in pure bio bizz all mix. i havent had an issue with this yet,
HOWEVER not had that many grows so cant say this is fine for all strains............. but pure AK and wwxbb are fine to seed in all mix...........


then when i transplant, i put them in their final pot with what will be varying percentages of ss/base mix. with this only being my second grow i haven't had chance to experiment with different levels and balance the needs of strains how i would like.
I dont worry about them running out of steam to early as i am not growing huge 6ft bushes my height is real limited 2ft max......

i should of explained better....... the first grow the one with clawed, yellow, sick looking plant was, as you guys said, transplanted far to early into a PURE ss mix.
As i was in the total wrong direction as far as organic growing was concerned ( until i read teaming with microbes and scoured the forums haha) and hadn't made the real connection between ss, subcool and how it should be used yes what a NEWB! i know i know.........

so i haven't even really had a chance to work with a proper ss mix yet waiting for this run to finish and my ss mix is currently still cooking.

As for not using bio bizz, i am hoping in the future to be able to make my own base soil, i am currently working on making my own EWC too, i have my bin made, just need the worms haha.

ANYONE else making their own BASE MIX or EWC and can help me with what they use and what they feed their worms

Thought i would put up a pic of my wwxbb in thePURE all mix as a seedling so you can see how healthy she was.
Again not trying to start an argument (there is all ready far too many on this forum) just to show that all mix is ok for SOME strains

I need to get some of this suckanat im currently using organic molasses as i have herd its goodfor feeding the microbes and other things.. im curious how much of this do you add and when?

TEAMING WITH MICROBES is an amazingly useful book that really helps with the understanding of whats going on in there...

Peace and happy toking/growing

Interesting info on the cheese, it seems there Is so many rip offs/knock offs of true strains that did once exist,you never know what your getting nowadays.
One reason why i can respect TGA and sub as he seems happy to share most info surrounding his business/strains.
i have some DQ seeds waiting to be planted
The best cheese i have ever got actually smelt like pure buffalo mozzarella in fact thats what me any my friends called it when we were smoking buffalo haha
never had anything that smells that cheesy since

However saying that, its very rare you can trust what anyone says your bud is round here...... my local areas sucks for good bud, let alone good genetics :(

Hey roors8911,

yep that's the myco, lol, exact same one, goto there website though and order it, it works out cheaper than eBay, though its not much, was like a fiver on a big tub.

my alfalfa meal I got from kelp4less as I was ordering azomite at the same time, while I was looking I swear
i did find someone in UK sellingit though, can't remember if it was on eBay or just google search tho.

with the allmix, I've never used it so was just saying what peeps say, I reckon it may fry clones though or maybe seedlings that don't like too much food so it's just a heads up :)

as far as ewc and making base soils, I've had a look into both and as I'm in a flat thought about getting one of them little bucket ones, but I don't think it would make enough, and I dont eat many vegetables, lol, I'm real healthy with my weed, not so with my eating!
and I did find a good base soil mix that I was gonna try but for the amount I actually use I couldn't be bothered, I'd rather pay a bit more and not have a load of soil hanging round, just my SS bin and a bag of base.
the recipe i found was basically just a bag of peat, mixed with EWC & compost and either coco/rice/perlite or similiar product, then u could add some biobizz pre mix, SS, or other organic fertilisers to give it some heat. If I was growing say subcool scale I'd definitely do it, but I'm harvesting a plant every couple weeks so I don't need much soil really. You do pay through the arse for bagged soil though!

Yup same as me bud that's why I started growing my own now, produce better buds than what I got in last trip to Amsterdam, not bragging its just commercial weed is bullshit, it's just mid grade bull shit.
i was paying £230 a oz, for what I thought was amazing weed a few yrs ago, lol, I used to make that last me about 3 weeks, now smoke over a oz a week and have given up smoking tobacco and guess what, I'm a lot better off! All my money before Went on weed and tobacco!

thats the same reason I grow mainly TGA too now, people say 'oh he's just doing it for the money,that's all weed nerd is, is just to promote his company' etc, which is bull, of course he wants to promote his business, that's natural, but people that say he's just a money grabber or something is crap, sub could quite easily produce fem seeds and make a mint, he could release all the strains he gets asked about, ie BLack cherry soda, Oregon blues but he doesn't because a, he maybe didn't create it (like BCS) or it has slight herm tendencies (like OB), so for me, I respect him quite a lot! He just keeps it real!

Roor8911,

just seen wher I've seen the alfalfa meal, dude on eBay in the UK selling a kilo for £12.50 plus fiver delivery, a kilo should last ya a couple years, though it looks like he's selling it loose, he may do ya a smaller amount if u ask.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1Kg-of-Alfalfa-Meal-Fertilizer-/171064524879?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Garden_Plants_Fertiliser_CV&hash=item27d43d804f

i wanna order some neem seal meal from him but his prices are expensive, so will wait and do a big 20lb order off kelp4less

Hey TrichomeBob,

Thanks for the imput,

I did went straight for the website contact as the e-bay site wasnt carrying all the smaller weight packs and navigation was all around way easier on the web site. Those guys are definetly smokers lol, it takes them way too long to answer - i dropped them a line about the customer relationshp management being a communication student - and the all management/logistic seems sketchy.

The shipping fees went up "The European shipping rates have recently gone up from 19.95 to 24.95. If the shipping charge in eBay is showing 19.95, this is an listing error." and it doesnt seems like those guys are reading what you're sending them.
I had written down a clear e-mail, stating that i wanted to get a lil under 20 pounds of goods, asking them to let me know the shipping fee for it and quoting the shipping fee you gave me back then. Once they told me about the fees moving up i never had any news from them when i told them i got the info through a friend that made an order a couple of weeks backs and he paid so and so...

I told them i didnt care ot pay a bit more for the products and as i didnt had any answer from them i tried to order from the site but it wouldnt work - i might end up using my mix batch with all the "macro" and not the "micro" nutrients...

It kind of sucks to have such a poor customer serivce, i know we're not on the same time zone but i dont really take that as an "excuse". I can't hate on pot-head trying to make a living but in the days of the internet one things a buisness needs ot be on top is e-mailing potential customer back. I'm about to spend 170$ plus on their product and it seems like they dont really give a shit about closing a deal and turning me into a happy client lol.

But then again i'm a rather "cool dude", i'll be waiting till wedneday and if i dont get it done by that time i'll get the myco and WCE from sannies with the seeds i wanted and i'll place an order for my next super soil through K4L.

The closer to the finish line the harder it is to stay focus :p

Nice trichbob shes looking good, yeah local weed suuucks! i was paying at least 200 to 220 an oz fucking ridiculous when you consider it is nowhere near "dank", so yeah grow grow grow haha
wowm an oz a week haha dam your lungs must love you! i used to smoke a fair bit (never that much though) but cut down a lot after realizing how ADDICTED yes addicted i was becoming.
no its not physically addictive but you do the same thing for nearly 10 years you become sort of dependent.
so i probs only smoke just over an eighth a week haha

im also in a studio/flat so cant be hauling huge amounts of soil about all time
thanks for link on alfalfa i think this is the only ingredient i am missing so will have to wait till next run to add to soil mix as wont have time to cook for this one, its the special [FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]triaconatol in it that interests me
[/FONT]
"with the allmix, I've never used it so was just saying what peeps say, I reckon it may fry clones though or maybe seedlings that don't like too much food so it's just a heads up"
yeah yeah, no worries man :) thanks for the heads up
thats also why i posted that pic to let people know its not definitely going to burn. but you are right it can do.

"thats the same reason I grow mainly TGA too now, people say 'oh he's just doing it for the money"

yeah its a
shame when people have to hate on a guy who is just trying to help other people and spread knowledge and experience with others i have learnt so much from sub about the growing business and growing in general his info is priceless in my opinion and yeah like you say of course he tries to make money haha
itd be a poor business without money, but it shows hes doing it for the love when hes part of a collective in a state that doesnt allow you to make a profit on the seeds etc. I have a huge respect for him and everyone in his company, its a shame all breeders cant work of the same sheet.
i think with all the problems in the world hating on a guy like sub is just pathetic and ignorant but that just my opinion.......

anyways time to go smoke a lid of some "blue cheese" leafy schwag
god i wish we were legal

for those wantiong to make there own EWC heres a pic of a simple flow through worm bin i made using a kitchen bin cant wait to get this up an running
cutting costs where i can and becoming more sustainable and self efficient, going to go forrage some local foliage soon to use in my EWC nettles, comfy, anything wild and local etc
Anyone got any good ideas of plants to use along side the ones already mentioned?

i also plan on just re using my soil for as long as possible and re-amending hopefully i wont have to constantly be buying super soil ingredients because my can they get expensive.

Anyway hers chataue al worm should make a nice home eventually will be filling it with a cheap organic compost for the bedding not just cardboard etc.
enjoy

so heres a pic of some leafy as hell so called blue cheese, this is what some of us unlucky Europeans have to put up with.....

unbelievably leafy barely smells and tastes of just smoke, i unfortunately am still smoking mixes when i have a lid so itas not going to help the taste much, but, i dont think i would want to smoke this pure anyway haha

enjoy i guess

That sucks bud, they def need to sort their shit out as they could make a bit of money out of us, I've did find another site, I'll see if I can find it bud and post it up.

here u go its rawfertilizersupply dot com, their listed on eBay too but seem to be in the same city as kelp4less, lol, Idaho city, could be a coincidence but I doubt it :), they both have high eBay score so I'm surprised with the slack emails, is it 'Rick' you've been talking too? Apart from the mixup at the beginning with prices they were pretty spot on.
Try sending them a email through eBay! This is the email rick got back to me on info@kelp4less dot com

Brutha, I was just in your position a few years back, now I medicate myself with cannabis, stick with it and you'll get there, I would have told u you was lying if u Told me a few years ago I would have the amount of weed I have now, I could open a Coffeeshop, lol.
but this shit has literally changed my life, I only grow personal and have never even sold a joints worth of what I've grown, that's my defence if I ever get caught, if I didn't grow, I'd be taking a shitload of money from the gov. In prescriptions and still supplying most my cash to dealers, my docs have told me to continue smoking cannabis and this is the safest way for me to do it, I pay my bills and I don't have to support drug dealers now! So atleast in my head I'm Doing the right thing, I couldn't give a shit what some law says!

anyways daily rant over, ;)

holy shit that looks amazing haha im so jelous right now, that shiva looks just like my type of boodah :)

and yeah i know what you mean with the whole money/dealers thing

its ridiculous the laws backwards!

i mean imagine a resource so powerful it can be a cure for most ilnesses + a hugely adaptable textile or something that can make cosmetics/soaps, or fuel or plastic and you can grow it and to top it all of it makes people happy

and the people in charge looked at that and said lets make it illegal!?!? put it on the black market and complain theres criminals i mean wtf!!?? hahaha you have to question their motives
i mean what kind of backwards society do we live in?

my daily rant over haha nice looking herb man so jealous, do you press youre hash btw frenchy style how do you make it?
how much of that shit you smoke already haha, ive had one bowl all day

need to get hiiiiigh :P

@Trichomebob: info at k4less is the mail i've used but "Dan" answered me not rick. I might give that other website a chance if those guys dont answer me today. I've sended them an e-mail telling them i didnt meant to be rude and could understand the delay based on time difference - great song by Homecut & Jlive - but if they didnt get back to me i'll have to postpone the order to september.

From the moment my order is placed it's at least 8 days to get the package - up to 3 weeks - than an other month to get the soil cooking... You're gonna tell me a day wont make a difference but as i said the closer to the finish line the tougher it is to keep your cool hehe and i'd like to get this shit done now - plus being in limbo with a half ass soil kind od sucks now that half's done and i dont know how i should adjust...anyway.

I'll let you know what's up.

Your bud looks fucking mamazing man, i can tell you're a good grower with good method. Those cali guys got nothing on you. That green crack looks fucking amazing, i'm not big on purple buds but damn does that one look tasty!

@roor8911: bro i'm not sure if you grow but if you dont go for it, you'll never go back and if you're smart enough not to get busted by the cops when picking up on a regular basis you're probably smart enough to grow without getting busted. As Trichomebob said even Amsterdam weed is gonna end up being crap to you once you start growing. When i go there i smoke a bit hoping to find something decent - you still find some good bud in a few shops but the prices are ridiculous! - but mostly Amsterdam became a hash fest to me...

Peace!
