I bought the paint Uncle Ben. I figure that I can coat whatever I want and be happy with it. $78.00 a gallon delivered.
So now, I will using the micro paint(spinout), superthrive for added boost and clones/seedlings when its time, Jacks classic 30-10-10 for veg, Jacks classic 10-30-20 for flower and add some 30-10-10 when needed.
UB, would you have a feeding schedule...a base guideline, to start from that you'd give up? Right now I do a fert, then water, then molassass, water, fert, water,moll, etc....

You got a good buy.
I can't recommend a feeding schedule as it's all dependent on the other cultural factors, mainly your understanding of what makes a plant tick. I'm not sure what you're doing.
Your call.....

Yep, it's all about efficiency.
Awesome thread and advice!! Unka Bennie you are my hero.BTW, I'm going to order some MicroKote pots. Do you think the 1 gallon is best or should I go bigger?
Depends on the application. I'd use the 1 gallon for germinating or finishing small plants.

Uncle Ben, I've got 11 seeds of Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze so, being sativa dominant, I think they will get pretty big. This is going to be an outdoor medi grow in Cali. I also have a *bunch* of mini-MTF auto's; I could paint the inside of a shot glass for those. I stayed up til 2 am this morning reading about 4 of your threads. The only reason I stopped then was because my computer locked up. Thank you soooooo much.

Like I've said elsewhere in this thread, it seems to take a while for the plant to resume normal "spin-out" as the tips have been terminated and there's alot going on within the rootball as opposed to the perimeter. Are you gonna plant in native soil or pots outdoors?
When you germinate a seed, do so directly in 6" tall styrofoam cups and transplant as deep as possible for maximum vigor. That means pinching off the lower leaf sets if need be.
Good luck,

Thanks UB. I am planning on having a greenhouse for this year or I might have to do a guerrilla grow if I can't swing that. So you're saying that when I transplant from the 6" stryo cup, to set it deeper, with the dirt coming up the stalk a few inches further? That's a gem that I must have misunderstood.

What ever part of the "trunk" is buried will produce roots. More roots=better plant health and vigor. You want to bury it up to the first leafsets.

hey ub , thanks for all the info on here , makes for a great read and is very usefull and informative without all the bullshit that the "growing" world seems to be overflowing with. i normally grow from cutting's and put them straight into 11 litre pots and thats where they stay.
i intend on using 18 litre pots next time round, can you give some advice on whether this is good practice or not ?
if its not can you recommend a good size pot to start them off in, and what size pot you use as the final pot?? is it a bigger is better type thing ?? many thanks , tokincarper

For those interested in trying the MicroKote pots, you can get lesser amounts from HorticultureSpecialties' other site, LawnAndGardenSpecialties.

Keep it green,

Glad it's worked out for you. Yeah, 2 gallons will probably treat 1,000 pots. Would be nice to split the cost with 3 other guys. I'm sure it has a shelf life like other paints.
That's my thread and that's my garden! Is there any honor or honesty left in the cannabiz? (Sheesh, was there ever? ) Shame on you for stripping the originator's name and posing my garden, genetics, and experiment as your own!

This person gave you credit ... it is in the first 3 lines of their post ... people open your fucking eyes and read... it says "Originally written by Uncle Ben" ... Miss Molie did give you credit ... you were just too blind to see it.
