I have that light- try and keep it 3’ above top of plant in veg and you can start at 40% setting

I love this thread and definitely think organics can be simple at the start and that the simple methods can achieve great results. The only challenge with organics is that it’s like snail mail, what you apply today might not be available to the plant until a few days or weeks later, so just try...

Thats sweet man did it work out in an interesting way grow wise?

I like that strategy

I posted another version of a March Madness type tournament applied to a small grow, but have been thinking more about it and that this idea may be most fun as an exercise on paper, tethered to the actual basketball tournament. Creativity is the only limitation, but the goal is to end up with a...

The stretch and leaves lean sativa so maybe just a lighter feed for a week or two. If two gallons of liquid achieves 20-25% runoff, one approach i have used for a lighter feeding is to apply one gallon of just water, then an hour later one gallon with 1-2 tsp or whatever is a light rate per...

What size containers do you have there and how much runoff occurs with the 2 gallon feeding? Also what medium in the containers?

It can definitely be done and many growers do different versions of this. Check out the organics and living soils sub-threads to get some ideas. I like to mix 50/50 with old mix and new. Probably the only caveat is if there were issues in the last grow and even then there are options for...

I had some super dry flower/leaf on long stems sitting in a small pail for months, almost like a dry bouquet forgotten in a corner. Added a small amount (probably enough for a small-medium sized joint) blended into a smoothie with berries, goat milk yogurt, banana, and chia. I added the flower...

One other idea, just put a seedname next to each team on the actual basketball brackte and then the finalists get popped

Yeah I hear you, my idea was mostly with regular seeds in mind. There could be a version of this with fems whereby the brackets and selection down to a final four would be worked out on paper like filling out a bracket and then finalists are selected for sowing, so no seeds/plants necessarily...

Bagseed would be perfect for this kind of thing. The March Madness concepts we are going for are: a tournament of some kind, a brief chaotic/exciting start, and the chance for an underdog to win it all...winning as in becoming one of the growers favorites down the line

Yeah I totally get that, and I don’t think this is a good fit for fems generally or where expensive seed investments are in play. The herm issue for me comes more from sativa landrace type genetics, or from seeds from friends, but is minimal overall. My germ rate trends around 90% but is never...

Yes it kind of is, but instead of one pack being popped for pheno hunting, a seed or two from several different packs are popped, in my version seeds that may not get a chance otherwise. If sixteen seeds are started, maybe fourteen pop (or less if older seed), then early on there is one that...

Could be structured in different ways, depending on the grower and what seeds are available to the grower and whats the interest level in those seeds- i have looked at the tournament as more of a total pool with selections making it to the next round. With regulars, about half get knocked out...

I have been dabbling with a version of this idea and thought I might put it out there for growers who are primarily interested in having fun with their grow. The idea of a March Madness is to start 1-2 seeds from different packs and whittle down over the course of say eight total grow weeks to...

I have had really good results with stinging nettle tea, never seen a plant complain about getting that tea!

I have had a good experience with my SF 2000 in a 2 x 4, entering my second year with no problems. I like the dimmable feature as well. I noticed the new SF 1000’s have the dimmable and I picked one up for a smaller mama/ veg space.

I like the recipe you have come up with, maybe final top dress five or six weeks into flower, i also like to do a little liquid feed of some kind

No problem- i think there are two companies with similar names. the GSC from Humboldt Seed Co looks good but i havent tried it, only Blueberry Muffin from them which I liked
