bro thanks! believe it or not, i whittled a hunting bow out of a log, made some arrows with a flintknapped stone point, killed a deer, tanned its hide myself, and made that hat....that is what my last O.C.D project was before herb.......i always take my "geeks" as far as i can....i spent every day for 8 years pushing until i did it, then i switched my attention to helping people grow dank......O.C.D isn't always a bad thing!

Congrats Nugs, I'm blown away with the finished pics +1 with hovering on that pic with the 3 Nugs in your hand....Just beautiful. Thanks for letting us all be apart of this journey with you, I'm kinda sad V.D. Is gone but looking forward to the smoke report and final weigh looks like its going to be huge!

bro, V.D is alive and well in the middle of a soil test with 16 donkeys!........and we will see how she does under the sun too.....and of course the breeding project, and the.....well just stay tuned brother.

I really like the fade photo's brings out Mary's true beauty ,Yes very nice thread and i concour on main lining being very effective growing technique one i have used for several years maybe not quite to your standards but i seen the practicality of this technique years ago.Any how good job on the photo shoot and hope you make the best of issue!Double rep for getting Sub's gear some quality exposure as well. I don't have a bong or hookah ,steam roller or blunt .What i do have is what us southerners call a hog leg !peace nerd's and have a dank day.

i went through the first few pages and couldnt find the answer to my question...

what size smarties are you running in? are the tan smarties 5s or 7s?

7's bro....

Fuggin beautiful my man! Been lurking along the whole time and watching with a keen eye. I have a cheesequake that I "semi" main lined that will go into 12/12 next week and it's a bush. I'm gonna be going back to some of your earlier post again when I start my next batch and really dig in and get down to it! Congrats on the harvest, great results and you deserve it. Thanks for so much great, usable info.

Inspirational stuff Nugs. I'll be main-lining my next seed crop for sure. I also purchased six 25 gallon tan smart pots for my outdoor this year after seeing what you're able to achieve in them. keep doin what you're doing brother

.....so a big thank you to everyone who followed along on this epic journey........and i want to give a huge shout out to Subcool for all his support.....Thank You Brother!....the Main-Lining experiment has changed the way I grow here in the lab forever......it blows away any other method i have ever tried...by far!....but that is just my personal opinion......as far as whether or not it is right for you......well....you be the judge!.......love and peace, nugbuckets

Wow. That must be an incredible feeling, to kill a deer with a hand-made bow and arrows. You are one of VERY few that will ever experience that kind of fulfillment in life.
Much respect, brother.

So Nugs I got a good question for you.......I should be getting my Comfrey powder today to make your bennie tea recipe to start cooking my base but last night was messing around and decided to test the ph of my base and SS to see where I was at and my SS which has been cooking for about 45 days is at a perfect 6.5 and my base Roots right out of the bag was at 5.4.....Is there anything else you mix in with your base to get your ph just right? Will cooking the base with the bennie tea help at all?

My $0.02. Add lime as per the recipe and leave it alone. The plant will control the pH. pH isn't such an issue with soil as it is with hydro

its low because it has not been activated.......this is one of the positives you get from cooking your base along side your SS.....treat your base with a bennie tea....make it nice and moist, container it, and let her sit.....i do usually add just a little dolomite to the base like Rrog said.....that is if i am using roots (which i don't anymore)...cause i would not trust what is in it....or left out of it!

.....its the same as making a fresh batch of tea, or liquid nute mixture.....it will be acidic in the beginning, but after it is bubbled for a day or two, and the micros get to work reproducing, the ph will rise.....same is going on in your base out of the bag, or freshly mixed super soil before cooking (activating).....

...if roots had their shit together, and really wanted to produce a superior product, they would mix, inoculate, and compost the finished mix before bagging and distributing....but that process is not cost effective, because it adds water weight, and lots of time to the process, so they sell the product unfinished.......on top of that, their "composted" ingredients are not very well composted at all......

Sweet, I'll add a little dolomite when I give it the bennie tea and let her sit and brew.....Thanks for responding!

....a fellow Weed Nerd touched this pic up for me, cause i am retarded with photoshop...thanks a lot brother.....those tops are massive.........there sure are a lot of talented weed nerds on this forum, and budding photographers, writers, testers, growers.........the weed nerds could almost start their own magazine.......hmmmmmmmmmm!

A magazine.........Wouldn't that be somethin'.
