Going to be difficult. TS Cindy's remnants are supposed to drop about 5" of rain today and tomorrow. The new growth was looking better just yesterday afternoon.

Thanks man! I really appreciate all the help. Last time I grew pot Carter was just elected president. Then I was about the only one who mixed up their soil. Most people just threw a seed in some dirt and waited for it to sprout. That was about all they did. Water, maybe some miracle grow every...

Hey!! Just want to thank everyone for all the help. One more question. Should I flush it with a good drenching watering and then back off, or let it dry out thouroughly and then flush it out? Or just not flush it at all?

Not turning it down. I think/thought that there was a misunderstanding about cow/horse manure. The peat pots being made from composted cow manure. The soil has composted horse manure. I thought that there might be a difference in the richness between the two. So I tried correcting my...

You asked and here they are. The two biggest are bagseed.

The cow manure is in the pressed peat type pots. I am using composted horse manure in the soil, but I don't think that the horse manure is that hot. I sowed some grass seeds over some composted horse manure which is on top of clay, and nothing else. Here's a picture of the grass seed plot...

Okay I have white widow and AK47. Fan leaves on young plants tips are slightly curled upward, tips and margins are browning. I have no way to check PH. Might be too acidic from knowing what the soil is made of, and fertilizer used (Fox Farms Grow Big). I am thinking about adding a water...

Just checking back. How are things going? I really want to see you do well.

This is the power of composted horse manure. I sowed grass seed on the composted horse manure and this is 4 days later. This is on top of clay where I had to fix a busted water line. My neighbor tilled up his soil, added 10-10-10 and his grass seed took about a week, maybe a little more, to...

Okay I am a noob myself with cannabis. Well not quite true as I grew some in the '70's, but cannabis has changed a LOT since then. Still I have a bit of a green thumb with most plants... except cacti. I know that a lot of people swear by hydroponic grows, but soil growing has been proven for...

I guess I should add, that the soil is a mixture of Kellogg's organic soil, sand and composted horse manure.

Thanks! I appreciate the info. Btw I'm around the Kentucky Tennessee border. Nashville is the closest city people would recognize. The plants will be in huge containers, over 25 gallons. Half barrels, pretty much. Root stimulator? Like Root Tone? Isn't that for rooting plants?

Okay so my first plants got eaten by either deer or chickens. Can I start white widow and AK47 now and still get a decent crop? I know that it won't reach it's full potential. Just wondering if it is a waste of time and effort.

Okay starting all over again from the beginning. To answer your observations, I used sand to help with the drainage. The only perlite/vermiculite in my soil is what was in the Kellogg's organic soil. When in high school, I took a horticulture class. Way back then, the only time that we saw...

Well normally I wouldn't disagree with you, but I got my tubs for the best price...FREE!!! That's why I am trying to find some more. My other half got them to use for watering her horses, she let me have the 2 that I have now because they froze this winter and a horse kicked them, which made a...

Yeah I am trying to find another 3 or 4. I think that they might be almost as good as putting the plants in the ground. You wouldn't happen to know how many gallons they hold would you? I already have about 4 wheelbarrow loads of composted horse manure just raring to go. I want to make it into...

No doubt! I have no plans for moving them. I have @a foot of composted manure in my pots/tubs. On top of that I have a mixture of organic potting soil, and sand of about equal depth if not slightly more. Sound good?

Okay so you have 30 and 60 gallon pots. My question is where you got them? I am using cow mineral lick tubs, but I have no idea about their size. I didn't think to count the amount of 5 gallon buckets I put in them. I am pretty sure that I used about 4-5 at least. Appreciate any help.

Okay so from everything that I have read and now fully believe, I will be a stalwart soil grower from now on. Since this is my plan, and not wanting to put it off until next year, I tilled up our horse dry lot, in order to have PLENTY of compost prepared. Below you will see the composted horse...

Just a suggestion from another new grower, there's a site that has a trouble shooting list. Search for it as it's a fairly good guide IMO. The site is GWE. (Abbreviation) Still there's nothing wrong with asking here as well. I would too.
