That mix I made is killer Cooter, when I poured it out of my container to mix it today the dirt was pretty much glued together wit hyphae, it held the shape of the container perfectly; this colony get mana! I never even activated or moistened it yet either. Just got done mixing up my own SS, used Sub's recipe but added some other goodies I had around. Feeling better, now that I'm getting back on my feet. Nice sunny day over here on the BI, sorry to hear about the flu Doc glad your feeling better. Maxicrop works killer for a K supplement, Sub's SS is real low in potassium(I think it's so low to ensure he doesn't get a N,Ca,or Mag deficiency). I recycle my soil, I throw banana's in my compost/worm bin for K.

Awesome Spliff! Sounds like your plants are going to love that mix! I think Sub is light in K because he uses roots organic as a base soil, which is coco based, I'm going going to swear to this, but if you use coco as part of your medium you can lighten up on the K since coco is already a good source of K.

Here is Subcool's response to a earlier thread from like 2 weeks ago about this exact same question.

"It doesn't lack potassium I am not sure where this comes from, if it did I wouldn't be harvesting 6-10 ounces plants dripping with resin and hard as rocks!"

Later in the thread JTR bushes further explains:
"The K comes from two places in super soil. #1 is the kelp meal that Aurora mixes in with the Roots soil. #2 is the K that is released over time from all the coco in the Roots soil. As coir breaks down, it releases K over time. That's why when using liquid mineral ferts in straight coco, you have to back the K off a bit in your mix so you don't lock out Ca, Mg, and N."

Also glad to hear your feeling better too Spliff! Heath is Wealth man! I've been dodging the public lately in the event i hacked on by some sick fuck'n scrappers!

My base for super soil was 6 parts Roots Organic, 2 Parts Coco, 2 Parts EWC(homemade),2 Parts Pumice, 2 Parts Perlite with 2 TBS HF and Dolomite to every gallon.
I also added some Maxicrop,Oyster Shell,Crab Meal,ect for my SS mix. I hope it's not too much K! I bought the ticket, time to take the ride :blsmoke:

I knew i saw that before...I don't use roots so I've never run into the K problem.(you know how much i love FFOF and Roots..lol) The best SS recipe I've used/made was Sub's SS using only half the recommended amendments (with the exception of dolomite) and then water with high P and K teas, if i'm being lazy then i scratch in some guano and kelp and water with EM-1 and sucanat

If it ends up being a little too hot, mix in some inert soil to thin it out a bit

wassup dude. yup, waves been good, but haven't been surfing to much. caught the flu about 2 weeks ago and only now it's starting to fade.

lol@the fin up the ass. I never had a fin go up there, lol, but I've been cut by fins before. hope it didn't tear you a new asshole :lol:

hey, that's no joking matter! Back in mid 70's on Maui, my buddy and I are surfing the "Lane", big left at Hookipa. Well my buddy took off on a wave that bottomed out. He free fell about 8 feet, and landed squarely on his fin. The fin had logged itself between my friend's "nut sack", and his "asshole". I believe the word I'm looking for is "taint", that spot in-between nuts & asshole. He had to have Maui Memorial operate on his area there. Back in the early 70's everybody knew everybody. His taint was a big conversation on Maui for weeks after that! Since 80% of operating room knew him, even the gay orderly who got to shave his asshole & nuts. His only saving grace, no internet back then!

So I'm new to this whole growing your own idea. I want to grow outside I have a pretty private backyard, what kind of seeds do you guys suggest? And by reading these forums growing my own seems to be more complicated than I thought. I feel like I need an instruction manual :o) Obviously I was naive to think I could just plant like I would my vegetables. Wish there were dispenaries or something because I think by the time I grow succesfully I'll have to renew my card :o)

Most people over complicate cannabis cultivation, It's not called weed for nothing, weeds typically grow all by themselves just fine an dandy without human interference, so why would growing cannabis be any different.

I'd suggest getting a book and then come to a .net forum for advice, after reading a few book on subject you'll quickly realize that most of the advice comes from the parrots growing bag seed in their mothers basement. Lucky for you, you found the right thread there are a lot of growers here that lend solid advice.

Seed advice is very subjective. What are your aliments? Are you using cannabis as a medicine? or for recreational purposes? or maybe both?

I've read articles on growing but no books, I thought I could just grow it naturally, but then I read all these different things on this site about nitrogen, silver, fertilizer, etc and it confused me. I will be using for anxiety, ptsd. Honestly I've smoked for years but I've never known about different strains or what not, I've just gotten whatever I could from friends of friends. I know Hawaii doesn't have dispensaries but are there local places I can get seeds?
I was on vacation in Ct and got some seeds from a friend. I put them in wet paper towel 5 days ago and they have not germinated so I'm assuming they are too old or just not viable. I know it was probably a long shot, I'm still holding out hope that they will sprout. Even though I grew up here I have no connections here as I just moved back two years ago.
Thanks for the advice
