Stepped out of my comfort zone.

I use 1 1/2 gallon or so containers with a rim where I drill holes for ties for training. Mine are waste baskets and are about 9 years old. I use a pretty intense mix and at most times get by with weak alfalfa teas and compost teas.

NAPA 8822 floor dry is a great component for a soil mix and it both drains and retains water. Very useful.

all seriousness, i used to be like everybody else......was totally against cannabis cause it was illegal. Never even smelled weed till i got into the service. Then after it soaked in that none of these "pot heads" were dying, losing their jobs or raping their sisters I said fuck it and tried it, got so fucked up i slept like 18 hours. Woke up alive and in one piece. Kinda laid off for job purposes for the better part of 20 years then woke up one day feeling like a zombie and just said hell with it and started smoking daily. That was 5 years ago. Im still alive.

You didn't mention if it helps make your life better or not. I do because I like the effects, lol

Ha ha guess I didn't. Yes I think it helps and I like how I feel. It's mellowed me out a lot. I used to be wound pretty tight. I don't have any anxiety or panic when I'm smoking. Used to have daily attacks at one point.

I'm glad you found something that calms you down. I'm even more glad it's a dangerous, harmful drug that we should be locking people up and throwing away the key for, like weed. o_O

Because it easily could have been a lot of things for me, and I suspect for a lot of folks.

Starting week 9. It's getting close to done. I hope it turns blue like the last grow did. Buds are getting hefty. Even spotted a double bud. I've kept my base nutes around 500-600ppm and just watered after every 2 feeds. Don't appear to be getting salt buildups like I have in the past. Some slight bleaching from running out of height but other than that it looks ok. Even the popcorn buds down low look like they are maturing good. For some reason I can't load pics but I'll try later.

I have started another grow already. La Plata Quin N Tonic. Just staked down 6 main stems! Not sure how it happened but i topped it early and ended up with 4 nice mains and 2 that are just a hair smaller in diameter. I switched from Promix HP to Promix Organic soil this time. Im already liking not watering so much and not having to mix nutes every time. Ill start a new grow thread.
