I had to get a certificate of competency ($90 fee) to renew my business license years ago. That would usually involve paying the fee, taking a test and walking away being able to prove my competency. Come to find out, there WAS NO TEST to determine my competency in my line of work, so the clerk...

Not really... they hate us because for the most part we're arrogant. Been all over Europe, and didn't find one country who liked us for anything other than our dollar.

I just can't resist one more post, then I'm done. Your 3 situations (OK, 4) that will change the pH are, of course accurate. They will eventually change the pH. But they are not even valid situations, because NOBODY in their right mind would do any of those things except water with tap water...

Zo, I couldn't agree more. I thought the same thing when I first joined a forum. You have growers (or potential growers) of all experience levels, and everyone of them giving advice as gospel. I devastated my first 2 crops trying to decipher or sort out all of the conflicting information...

Dude, when it appears that the whole world is wrong, and only you have the correct answers, it just MIGHT be time to re-evaluate your paradigm. Get your GED, then go back to Chemistry 101, Biology 101, and Botany 101. Study hard, then come back and tell folks they are wrong. Don't get half the...

No Sir, not one problem due to pH lock out. In fact, my soil pH doesn't vary. I learned to test the soil pH just before using it, and get it right before the plants get in it. Once the soil pH is set it is all but impossible to change in a short period, and and I've never seen it drift more than...

Start a business, one that is predominantly a cash oriented one, and keep accurate records of your "sales" and deposits. Pay taxes on it. That is a WAY oversiplification, but it's how I handle things. You don't have to name your customers anything other than "cash sale" in your records (unless...

Sativa Indica Pits, sorry for this breif hi-jack, but I gotta ask dude a question. YeahBUBBA, just how did you check the pH of your soil thru the soil/roots? Did you make your own soil or is that store bought? If you made your own, and WAY overdid the lime, yes I can see a pH of 9. And if the pH...

You are never SOL, you learned something!! At least you know you can do it!! Just start supplementing cal/mag when you flip them next time. especially if you run the same "strain". Good luck.

Brimck, it really is!!! MH, replace that bat guano with bunny poo. Bat guano is WONDERFULLY fertile stuff, but has way too many associated health risks involved for me.

No, you're right. If the poo comes from parts unknown, by all means compost it if in doubt. Given the fact that bunnies eat almost exclusively alfalfa (and succulent greens), unless the living conditions of the rabbits is deplorable the manure should be safe and pathogen free. But again, better...

Give them cal/Mag, and watch the new growth. The dead tissue won't regenerate, but new growth will look good. I started supplementing cal/mag at the beginning of flowering as a prophylaxis, and haven't had that issue since!

I do compost some of it, and add some straight poo to the soil as well. But I've been using straight poop (bunny) for a good while without probs, and I know the health of the source rabbits and the cleanliness of their living conditions. Would I discourage anyone from composting it? NOPE!!! I...

Good point Stow. I have never worried about that (to be quite honest, I never thought about that :shock:), and I've never had issues, but you are 100% right. Pathogens are a real possibility if you don't know the source of the manures.

The shit starts out at the leaf margins, affecting the tips of the serrations at first. Within a week it looks like this: There is no "fading out", or chlorosis that would give one time to react, all at once the leaves turn crispy and brown at the margins and spreads into the leaf the further...

Sometimes that can be even worse.....there is a felony there, but no explanation. Very rarely does a prospective employer look at the totality of circumstance, only the felony conviction.

Yep, get 'em some calmag quick.

My bad, sorry. That was an assumption on my part. And I have been wrong before. (lemme see...was that back in '87 or '88?) LOL.

Yeah, I been thru this one before. I'd have thought for sure that the 3lb crew would have known better than that. Rabbit poo is not hot at all, and can be used straight out of the rabbit. The NPK of it is great for both phases, P being much more available with bunny poo than many other sources...

Like I said, where the hell were ya?? LOL. Sounds like a small price to pay to move forward. You gonna be fine. Hang around, lots of knowledgeable people here willing to help those who help themselves. You'll fit in just fine 'round here.
