aside from bug damage...calcium. Calmag..top dress dolomite but it slow release.
Thanks, but until I get a chance to make it to Lowe's or Depot, I'll try and make do with the epsom salt spray for the mag, and egg shells (I eat lotsa eggs) for the cal.
It's surprising how much I lost or forgot since I used to work in a nursery back in '83-'86.:sad:

Roast egg shells in the oven until crispy. Grind to powder is food processor. Boil dust in water and use some of water. Guessing a couple tbsp to a gallon.

Thanks, but I've just been going with light sprinkling of ground shells, everything I read says smaller pieces get/will absorb faster than just tossing the chunks in there.

I'm 61 been smoking since 1969,but have only been growing my own for a little over a year. And I must say the weed I grow is better than any I bought except for Tai sticks.

I used to live in the SF bay area, but what I got was either from up north, or from a store.
Oregon stuff was good when I moved there too :)
The thing with self grow, if it turns out bad, we can;t blame anybody but ourselves, right?

Asked my mother about the 70's having dirt weed compared to today. She recalled a story about "Kona Fingers" being crystally and getting hella stoned. Came from a airforce member stationed somewhere else and he came home with it on leave. She said it's allot easier to find good bud now but it was around back then just not as prevalent and you had to know the right people or it just came upon you by luck.

Take a bud, tie some string around it, presto, your own thai stick. (Keep the handles small please)

I beg to differ back in the early 70's there was Tai stick and it was the best weed I've ever smoked even better than mine and that's saying something.

Real Thai is a wispy ass plant. Wispy growth, buds that resemble wheat more than pot until the last stages of bloom. Even fully mature, sativas are airy buds.

Thai stick - real Thai stick - was a bud still on the stem it grew on, snapped and a "thread" of stem retained. That was then wrapped around that airy ass bud to tighten it up. The Mexicans just bricked it and so did the Colombians. You would unwrap it bit by bit like a present. And it was!!!!
