Dear chemphlegm, Your watering plan sounds great! I am sad to say, it can not be applied to my set up. I run two 2x2 tents. The pots are filling up all the floor space so access to the ones in the back is problematic. Should I have had the space to walk around my plants freely I would have...

Dear chemphlegm, Thank you for your reply. your almost wilting point approach sounds great. A bit on the "50 shades of grey" side of things. Interesting technique to master. I am wondering, if you let your soil get dry almost to the wilting point, would it not be a pain in the neck to water the...

Dear GentleFolks, I have been polluting my favorite thread with my obsession on N toxicity. So, I decided to ask my question directly to the RIU Organics Citizen. Quick summary: For my first try at ROLS, I mixed a bespoke soil with many ingredients. I had one grow with the soil and was happy...

Dear Magdup, See my previous post about over watering. My plants are very leafy. Yet, the stems seem strong. I doubt flushing my soil that has no chem ferts will remove the excess N. Is it possible to flush in Rols? Flushingly yours, M

Dear MrKnotty, I always stick my finger in the pot to make sure the first inch and a half are dry. So then again I truly doubt I am over watering. I wish you are right ad my soil mix is not too hot. Dryingly yours, M

Dear Gentlefolks, Forgive me for being insistent but the "Claw" is truly bothering me. I am fairly certain it is caused by N toxicity (what a horrendous term!) I have a fairly simple routine. Every week I water once with SST (mugo, alfalfa, or diastatic barley), once with a Worm Compost tea...

Dear MrKnotty, Thanks for the information. is this the book you are referring to? https://ilcasia.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/chos-global-natural-farming-sarra.pdf MasterCho-ingly yours, M

Dear Hillbill, Following your recommendation, I just purchased 10lbs of DE. I believe it is OK with worms? I use a lot of EWC and my soil has a fair number of them aerating and mixing my soil. I would hate to hurt my little gardeners. How do you suggest I use the DE? sprinkle on top? mix to the...

Dear hillbill, the leaves are a nice rich deep green. I will try to post a pic. GetTheNoffOfMelingly yours, M

Dear hillbill, Thank you for your answer. I am very cautious with watering. Every now and then when I get a bit too enthusiastic with my teas applications and water gushes out everywhere, I make sure the top one and a half inches are dry to the touch before I rewater the plants. Hence, over...

Dear Diabolical666, I am not too sure about D.E. So I will wait a bit before sprinkling it. however, from now on I will cut the creepers in two whenever I see them. ChopChopingly yours, M

Dear Gentlefolks, I have claw fingers. I understand it comes from too much N. How do I mediate this? I am on my second run. My first soil batch must have had the same problem as the buds came out very airy. Yet the overall smoke/flavor/texture was fantastibulous. LessNingly yours, M

Dear Diabolical666, Any idea on how to get rid of the voracious fanged beast? I do ROLS and use no chemicals (beside maybe epsom salt) DukeNukemly yours, M

Dear ttystikk, do you care to elaborate? Peacefully yours, M

Dear Gentlefolks, A while back I found a creepy crawler in my soil mix. As I encourage maximum diversity in my soil (and as a matter of fact everywhere else as well) I was happy to find this ugly thing... Until I identified it as being probably a Lithobius forficatus. The name is as nasty as the...

Dear Budley Doright, In some dark places, the number of plants grown are limited. In order for the people stuck in these backward geographical zones, having one mother with several rooted air layered "cuts" on it can be a hefty trick around the mind numbing regulations. Renaissancingly yours, M

Dear RandomHero8913, I would like to grasp this opportunity to thank you for this prized piece of information. You just allowed me to used Coconut water at a reasonable price. You truly are a Hero! To contribute to this thread I will make a side by side test with unfrozen bottled coconut water...

Dear St0wandgrow, I was asking on the Rols forum about freezing coconut water as I can only use minute amounts of it at every watering and I always find pint size bottle of it. So her I go again. Would anyone consider freezing coco water to preserve its content or would the enzymes and amino...

Dear Gentlefolks, I came upon this site http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2302/2 and I checked the content of different sprouts. I was struck by the variety of Protein, Amino Acids you can find from one sprout to another. Did anyone ever tried to sprout a...
