What one would get done first outdoors?
Best against mold?
What do you think is the best outdoor plant Afghani or NL?

Thanx Frmrboi. Sound good to me.
Thinking Sensi Seeds or Ortega (MNS)
Do you think it will be done by sept?
Might as well try the ledgendary NL. My soilless mix is kinda on the strong side. How is it with ferterlizer?
Again thank you for any feed back. With the price they want for NL it has to be good.

Sept 1, I doubt it. I don't grow outside so I don't know. Joey Weed says to grow this with light soil so you may be to hot for it.
You might want to try his seed too as he's very reasonable.

it will be done late sept to a few weeks of oct. i got no problem feeding my nl just not to much. and you may want to do a research and follow instructions at the back of your feeds. and imo feed it when its mature enough that if you messed up it can still bounce back. i would go with sensi seeds on this one, not that i have grown any of its gears. edit: sorry, yeah light soil for seedlings

Wow ok. Gotta cut down on some thing. Like greensand found out that anything over a cup in 5 gallons makes it way to sandy and clogs up the water flow. Still trying to get a good soil mix. I got my origanial mix from a book I bought it has a couple pages of soilless mixes. It also has a list of diffrent things to add with the N-P-K value.
Marijuana New School
Outdoor cultivation
By Jeff Mowta
Some are N P K
Chicken manure 2 7 2
#'s may vary; adds organic matter makes good fertilizer tea.
cottonseed meal 7 3 2
good amendments for a soil with worm activity
langbeinite 0 0 22
can be agitated and dissolve for faster availabilty
There's more but gotta get the book for the rest. Best $17 I spent.

The chicken manure & the cottonseed meal are trouble makers as they rot fast (depending on the temperature) I'd cut back on those. If they look hungry make manure tea.

Just keep in mind that Joey Weed's Northern Lights is an F2. F2 crosses are the offspring of crossing two F1 hybrids. This means that they will not be uniform. If you like more different phenotypes then F2s are great. If you want uniformity, fewer phenotypes, than F2s are not for you.

I got my eye on Sensi Seeds or Mr Nice's Ortega. What is the NL that Sensi use's? Is Ortega NL2?

I ussally mix the chicken manure at 50/50 at the bottom. About the bottom 10 inches or so. The cottonseed meal haven't tried yet, but thanks for the haeds up. Anyone hear of langbeinite? Can't find that anyplace. With the high # it looks like it could be a chemical.
I would assume it's a type of clay that sheds a lot of Potassium.

Here some info. haven't seen any images yet. Anyone use it yet.
nature in combined forms occurring in sea water and in carnallite and kainite and sylvite
mineral - solid homogeneous inorganic substances occurring in nature having a definite chemical composition
Langbeinite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Langbeinite is a potassium magnesium sulfate mineral with formula: K2Mg2(SO4)3. Langbeinite crystallizes in the isometric - tetartoidal system as transparent colorless or white with pale tints of yellow to green and violet crystalline masses. It has a vitreous luster. The Mohs hardness is 3.5 to 4 and the specific gravity is 2.83. The crystals are phosphorescent and piezoelectric.
The mineral is an ore of potassium and occurs in marine evaporite deposits in association with carnallite, halite and sylvite.
It was first described in 1891 and named for A. Langbein of Leopoldshall, Germany.

If you are into organic growing this might be of interest.
Like Potassium Sulfate (made by reacting Muriate of Potash with sulfuric acid) Muriate of Potash, or Potassium Chloride, is not an acceptable organic fertilizer because of the harm it does to your Soil Food Web and is therefore not an acceptable organic product.
Langbeinite, Potassium Magnesium Sulfate, or K-Mag is also a very soluble "fertilizer" known to be harmful to your Soil Food Web and is therefore not and acceptable organic product.
Wood ash would be an acceptable source of both Potash and Calcium except the process of obtaining that ash produces prodigious quantities of air pollution.
Composted chicken litter would be a good source, as would any animal manure if it is composted before adding to soil. There is some concern that the manure from egg factories will be loaded with antibiotics that are fed to the caged chickens in an effort to keep them laying eggs as long as possible.
Your best bet for correcting any soil nutrient deficiency is compost and organic matter. Soil will go from being deficient in Phosphorus, Potash, Calcium, and Magnesium, and a soil pH of 5.7, to a soil with optimal levels of P, K, Ca, and Mg and a soil pH of 7.2 using only compost and organic matter.

Potassium Magnesium Sulfate: Langbeinite
Langbeinite is a unique source of plant nutrition since three essential nutrients are naturally combined into one mineral.
It provides a readily available supply of K, Mg, and S to growing plants.
Production
Langbeinite is a distinctive geological material found in only a few locations in the world. Commercial supplies of langbeinite
come from underground mines near Carlsbad, New Mexico (USA), which were first commercially developed in the
1930s. These deposits were formed millions of years ago when a variety of salts, including langbeinite, were left behind after
the evaporation of ancient ocean beds. These salt deposits were buried deep beneath hundreds of meters of sediment. The
langbeinite deposit is currently mined with large boring machines, washed to remove impurities, and then crushed to various
particle sizes. Langbeinite is considered a potash (or K-containing) fertilizer, even though it also contains valuable Mg and S.
Traces of iron oxide impurities give some langbeinite particles a reddish tint.
Agricultural Use
Langbeinite is a popular fertilizer, especially where several nutrients are needed to provide adequate plant nutrition. It has
an advantage of having K, Mg, and S all contained within a single particle, which helps provide a uniform distribution of nutrients
when it is spread in the field. Due to economics, langbeinite may not be recommended to meet the entire K requirement
of a crop. Instead, application rate may be based on the need for Mg and/or S.
Langbeinite is totally water soluble, but is slower to dissolve than some other common K fertilizers because the particles are
denser than other K sources. Therefore, it is not suitable for dissolving and application through irrigation systems unless finely
ground. It has a neutral pH, and does not contribute to soil acidity or alkalinity. This differs from other common sources of Mg
(such as dolomite) which will increase soil pH and from elemental S or ammonium sulfate which will lower the soil pH.
It is frequently used in situations where a fertilizer free of Cl- is desirable, such as with crops sensitive to Cl- (some vegetables
and certain tree crops). Langbeinite is a nutrient-dense fertilizer with a relatively low overall salt index. Particular sources
of langbeinite have been certified for use in organic crop production in some countries.

Thanks Brick been trying to find some usefull info about langbeinte. Thinking 'bout using a well composted leaf pile. The leaf pile is about 8 years old and 5 foot high. Was higher but the veggies got most of that. Looks like mostly worm casting. Want to go half leaf mulch and half peat moss. Then I will add my additives to that. The thing I'm worried about is the drainage quality of the leaf mulch. I use perlite also.

If you can purchase a compost grinder, get one. Add leaves and lawn clippings and sticks and twigs and any organic 'wet' household garbage like egg shells and vegetable and fruit peels and apple cores or veggies and fruits that have gone beyond their prime and would be discarded and any plant matter from harvested grows that you will not use and if you fish toss the parts that are not eaten, heads, tails, guts etc, coffee grounds and anything and everything like those things you can get your hands on .. and grind them all up. Wait until it cools, turning and regrinding often will help speed up the decomposition, and then adjust the pH and you will have great soil to grow in.

Yeah that sounds like some awsome soil. I live in a small town and I get all their leafs that the highway dept. pics up in the fall. Now I have the last three years ina big pile. Why does Sensi list NL and Afghani as an indoor strain? They should do great outdoors.
