    Will Ocean forest soil destroy benefecial natural bacteria?

    I'd in doubt... give it a quick compost.. add some green to get it heated quick. A couple of turns and maybe 3 or 4 weeks. Otherwise, I would say you are fine. Just don't over fertilize. Organic or otherwise ..

    Help. How late can STS be sprayed on AF plants

    No luck finding ruderalis seed. It be nice to find some regular low THC Rudalis seed. Heck any CBD male autoflower for that matter. I love Autoflowers. Allow me to hedge with two smaller autoflower crops a season than risk on one larger photoperiod crop. My marine PNW can be brutal with...

    Water only soil for autos... Discussion...

    I personally don't like a bottom filled with something way to strong for a young plant. Then again, I am one of those "weird" organics people. Think REV's TLO, early 2000's kinda stuff. LOL I like to build my container, with clumps of nutrients here and there..... let the roots find what...

    Water only soil for autos... Discussion...

    Peat, pearlite, mix cut with 1/3 chunky coir. Add bacteria, a nice 4/3/2 organic manure pellet or equivalent down deep not mixed in. Another handful of pellets on top around the edges. Worm castings, biochar, are good. Fish emulsion at during flower if needed. Save soil compost and...

    Auto-flower pot size

    Me I like 5 to 10 gallon plastic bags. I am a lazy organic grower with a drop the seed in some biologically active home made media, water it an harvest it. IMO 5 gallon fabric bags are too small they dry out, require too much attention having to water daily. Imo if you want to nurse the thing...

    Dinamed cbd, industrial plant cbd, candida?

    I got pain, and CBD does NOT give great relief. I think if 3 things CBD does for me. 1. Reduce anxiety. 2. Reduce inflammation 3. Allow me to consume THC without getting high. IMO, If you are doing extraction grow CBD plants and grow THC plants. Cut the THC with CBD until you can tolerate...

    Would anyone be interested in participating in an auto grow thread?

    Pineapple express in open greenhouse is going into "fall" phase. (Happy I had the gut feeling to grow in the open greenhouse instead of fully outside. I dont remember the last time I saw the sun for more than a few hours. Been cool and misty, pretty much since early May.) Nice size, though...

    How we evolved from bacteria and our real connection to the earth

    Far as I can tell the entire universe is simply a pile of cosmic dog shit. We got no idea of how small or how large things get. Think compost pile sparking to life, same as the "big bang". Quite possibly we and our entire universe are the "bacteria" of something larger scale., I think how...

    How fast do strawberries grow?

    Two kinds of strawberries. Everbearing and June bearing. I have 1000 plus plants. Have always planted, bare root in late winter, or as soon as soil can be worked. They fruit starting in June in my PNW Climate. Never tried seeds.

    Spider mites on my pepper plant

    Lady bugs. :) As a commercial organic farmer, I release ladybugs under the row cover. I personally feel that all to often anything more than spraying water or a super diluted insecticidal soap, will set the plants back further than the aphids will.
