[pic book]

*or fox farm or supersoil or kiss or mom's organic magic or sunshine #4?  say what?  there are?

what would they be?

[mibrains]

kiss 4 me all day

 

simple + organic = solution to entire worlds problems.

free mite eggs? those are hard to come by

In  hydro don't bother but with hydroton rocks or similar.

I use a half n half pro mix/ happy frog in my dirt grow.

[bobandtorey]

The best mix is     to do it yourself mix i was mixing dirt way before pro-mix it wasn't for Cannabis but  growing tomatoes i here there about the same as far as growing IMHO

bob you cannot rec messages and i lost yer #.  do you know when cannabis cancer project is next in court?

except tomatoes produce fruit, and cannabis produces flowers. you are right though, a weed is a weed. I've seen cannabis finish in a driveway crack, windowsill, office cabinet drawer, in rocks, gravel, wood chips, lava rocks, Styrofoam, gelatin, bubbles, and in a tree trunk, and even with roots hanging in a fogged plastic bag!

The substrate may not be as important as the available nutrients and atmosphere conditions.

soil-in-hydro observations after two strains: the flip into water causes a tripling in the weight (size) of plant fiber.  the strains were lemon cake--s dom 70% and real killer skunk--i dom 80%.  both were grown in soil to the point they were root bound (3 gal pots, 25-28" tall).  then for the transition to 12/12 holes drilled in the bottoms, and the pots dropped into dro. (24-hour flow in lava rock). in the water, the stalks enlarged 3 times in the first 21 days, and most stems twice, making the stretch the fastest bulking period of veg.   (i consider veg to be through day 21 of 12/12, and so i feed veg nutes until day 22).

been considering something along those very lines pic...

 

i was thinking about using river rock since i have a heaping pile full of them..

 

are you top watering at all anymore? or just allowing the absorption to wick up into the pot?

 

i wondered about using a auto water drip line on the tops with a "flowing fresh water river" of sorts... with river rock being the substrate at the plant locations..

 

either a long slow top flow or one on a timer.. not sure if they would even need top watering other than to help force "off gassing"

 

just fantasizing...

Can someone put the good KISS Link back up . Having a hard time finding it . I am looking to building self watering pots from 5 gallon buckets . Have the idea already but just looking for nutrients suggestions as looking to keep it all organic . I used fox farms happy from granual and had great results just looking to spice it up .

free mite eggs? those are hard to come by

Spider mites develop from eggs, which usually are laid near the veins of leaves during the growing season

geesh, thought they always came from good buddies spreading stellar clone only  genetics.

mibrains no your brains:  the soil pots in hydro get no top water, wicking only.

salutes to a river running under with top drip to pots, might give better results?

does not matter cause wipeout wipes the buggers and eggs, out.

mibrains:  gasssing?

[trichcycler]

offensive preventative measures are my only choice. If I use any oily sprays, even organic, my worms will die along with my soil beneficials. In hydro though I bet wipe out rocks.
