how much Dolomite Lime?

More like dude says he doesnt raise his own worms! Most organic growers do.

The majority of these soil ammrndments we use need s "cook" time of 30 days. Before the plant gets into the dirt. This is needed because its gives the micro herd ( fungal and bacteria) time to brrak down thrse raw ingredients. I dont see any use in soiless hydro application.

whats the difference between growing your own worms and going to get a can-o-bait from walmart

well wrong kind of worms first of all. most bait worms are not your best composters. red wigglers are what we want. and its not the worms but the castings or humus material left behind after the worms have devoured all the raw material. so casting will be rich with N P and K . as well as jam packed full of minerals which are often fed to worms to aid in availability to plants. mineral rock dusts are widely used in soil building. however due to long time it takes to break down feeding those same minerals to a worm bin can make them must more readily avail when you top dress with the Castings or mix globablly in soil. as well as all the other nutrients. But its more about the diodiversity going on in the worm bins. whole pecking orders of bacteria, preditory nematoads and a fast array of microorganism is hanging out there.
those worms at walmart are just crawlers in some bedding. nothing really happening in there.

that sounds like a ton of work, does it taste any different (better) then properly cured weed grown in hydro or soil? can u tell the difference or just get peace of mind knowing ur product is 100%organic

its actually 10x LESS work. more uprfront planning and setup. bit of math here and there and than water 2x a week.fresh well water. and yes the taste and finsihed product imo are where its at. Now this is just my opinion. Herb burns cleaning, taste so clean and smooth. genetics really get a chance to shine so the difference in strains is even pronounced, maybe even in the phenotype as well! than the real treat is never having to step foot in your hydro store ever again. never buying soil ever again. i mean i used to spend 500$ on soil and nutreints when i used to grow with ff trio/ month. savings like crazie. shit than theres the fact that this is sustanable growing. im not some crazy hippy (yet) but it makes me feel alittle better knowing im not contributing to the chemicle company, mansanto style bullshit. I knew i had to change my style when i dumped all my used soil, (chemicle ridden) out in my backyard. in a matter of weeks both trees near where i dumped the soil had lost all their leaves and started to die off. a few years later they are just starting to comback.

and comparing to chem grown buds. I just recently met a guy who i would consider the hydro guru. really knows his stuff. I tried some of his GG4 grown in some crazy flood table. the buds were awesome, but you can still taste residuals of the salt based fertlizer program. maybe my palet has changed but its like the feeling of salt water in the back of your throat. And after smoking some of my amnesia he also agreed that the taste was uncomparable in favor of my soil. But again, hydro can be done right, and nugs are very potent if one makes i through the whole grow with little to no problems.

fuck i thinkk i may see nanners on my bigges anyone got a nice pic of them, im still getting used to bud structure they kinda look like pistils but i dont see hairs yet... fucckkkkk imma let this phone charge and take sum pics id really hate to start ripping apart buds

would nanners be showing at week 4 in a 10 week strain , there is no male flowers just what i described that may bee nanners

I don't know of any growers that have successfully done a run of organics and then gone BACK to hydroponics.
I wasn't born an organic enthusiast, I changed when I saw the difference, in not only the end product, but the prep, and the whole grow.
if you try it, and do it the correct way, you won't go back to hydro.
Try and see

i left hydro for ph problems and nute problems switched to soil and love it .

wait till you try fresh humus sources.. either homemade castings or compost.
That's where the magic happens

I am curious as to why anyone would use bottles so called organic nutrients to begin with ,, that is pre school organic growing daloudpack you should add 10 cups to 1 cubic foot of your fox farm CRAP
Fox farm or any comercially available soil is pre school growing at any level
the thread says how much lime ???? and you got your answer 50 times do not use the shit no need for it
Personally i do not give a fuck what you use, but you using organic bottled nutrients and even fox farm your a beginner ,,in the grande scheme of things learn how soil works the true organic way then there will be no worries about ph or teas or nutrients boosts just let mother nature do her job even indoor then there is no need for dolomite lime and worrying about ph

lol i dont claim to be growing organic guys im just stating that the bottle says organic because sumone made a comment about using organic nutes with dolomite

wondering if i can get a second opinion on this growth btw ,

the speckles all over me is paint by the way

yeah but a nanner is nothing to really worry about. if you start seeing a shit ton of them, or if you are finding seeds in your weeds, then it's a problem with that particular strain. i have a couple strains that throw em and once in a great while i'll find a single bean.

as for the bottle saying organic, more importantly it should be an OMRI (or similar agency) listed product, but even still the list of things approved for OMRI, and the like, are not always the best choice. it's about knowing what's in your products and using your power to choose ones that meet the standards you want for your grow (yay capitalism! lol jk). I used to use the product Age Old Nutrients up until recently, and like you, I thought i was growing organic! boy, i was wrong! lots of the "organic" use salt base to cut their products; not all of them do this but the ones that are are making no claims to how organic their product really is. think about it, the word "organic" on your label just means you can charge more money for it. these hydro companies are trying to keep people hooked on the nutes so they can keep raking in the billions! the more organic you get, the more you will realize that you can be very sustainable in your grow room, keep costs ultra low after the initial investment of buying soil and all the fixings. then you actually get to recycle your soil and not throw any away! and more importantly have a cleaner product in the end, no matter if you're growing cannabis or veggies. I first learned about living soil from trying to be a better vegetable gardener cause store stuff sucks a fat one. i then had the brainstorm, hey i can apply this to my cannabis, and my patients will all get better medicine! now, here i am on ROI learning it up. there's a lot of knowledgeable folks on here and they will help you out. Good luck to you which ever method of grow you choose to apply!

okay her is my second question now is it possible that could be a crushed female calyx as ive been checking every thing very closely and pinching anything im suspicious of/ OR IS THIS SUMTHING COMPLETELY different.... ? some of the new growths ive been worried about being pollen sacks so i was tearing them off but after further review determined that is just new branching starting is it possible i split a calyx in the process or do the look different when split

im almost wanting to pinch off a calyx and look for a begining of seed formation but i should probly wait a week first huh?

sum of my calyx do look a little swollen but im also developing sugar leaves already which means calyx's are bursting from resin right or wrong?

One nanner is one to many , and i beg to differ you have a lot to worry about

darth hopefully ur distaste for me wouldnt superceed ur love for marijuana growing so in ur experience does that infact A. look like a nanner , B. look like it pollenated anything and last but not least care to share what a calyx of yours looks like , and also after freaking out i spit a calyx and found what i am hoping to be an ovule as i checked 3 different plants that should have not been pollenated and found a lil green formation in each

let me fix that should not have been pollenated due to the flow of my air circulation
