Welcome to the party. This is a great thread full of useful info and good people. I have HBD on the way Along with Onyx. It is nice to find people growing the same thing, it brings out my competitive nature.

I doubt like hell id be able to rate with you guys but i will sure as hell try. i saw the damage you guys do when it come to growing all i got to try and hold my own with here is a button a broken stick some duct tape and a prayer lol. good to know im always among friends here and the info ive gained from this thread and looking at all the grows steming from this just blew my mind.

I am so glad that my insomnia wasn't permanent. I had a 4 or five month stretch without any real sleep. I was starting to fall apart. It just kind of got better on its own. I was stressed beyond belief at the time so I am sure that was the biggest part of the problem

Just had a side thought here shouldnt this be called the auto allstars cause ive seen autos on here just out some photos to shame.

I am new to these autos myself, But I have grown photo periods indoor and outdoor with some success. I think I will be growing my little marijuana midgets for years to come.

lowrdr grew RRF...he hasn't been in lately but if I see him I will hook you up.
Being with him when he grew I think she was pretty Good Standard..nothing unusual in her demands.
his phenos were Scatty..lots of pheno variation...but I'm not sure what F she was when he got her.

Finding this sight and the good people here on it was a god send to me heres to all you tokers.

Life is So much Sweeter if you can cut the pain.

Don't forget..you must Try to IBL the seed you Have..keep your costs down..

It's all about the art not the artist

that would be great cause info on the rockets is like almost non-exsistant and I know how bad it gets for the people im trying to help cause I my self suffer like hell having half my spine rods and screws. if it wasnt for cannabis i dont think i could make it thru the day doctors here are pretty much worthless they only help the people with cash. i thank everyone for the advice and kind words in advance its good to have a home now.

I just looked in on you grow of the bhd's they are wicked man gold star for you my friend. i was just fliping thru high times and found the article on veganics kyle kushman started anyone think that would work with autos too?

if it wasnt for cannabis i dont think i could make it thru

Pain relief should not have to depend on the cash in your pocket..it should be a basic human right.
Sad world we live in.

Got some tips on pollenation for small growers..
AND..
the simplest ever recipie for canna vodka..made from your waste leaf..that relieves pain in the places smoking doesn't reach.

Speed & Safety for them....

its sad things work like they do for people who need them help. im a info sponge man fire away i take all info offered to me no matter what it is. hell might even write a book with it all everyone here will get the credit for it ill just put it together for newbies like my self to fallow.

If it would have happened at a different time in my life then yes, it very well could have been soul destroying. I have made some bad choices in my life where people are concerned and about 10 years back took a different outlook on life....which was that I wasn't going to care what other people thought of me. I was going to do what I wanted, when I wanted and if you didn't like it, to bad.(as long as it didn't hurt others) So far it has worked for me...I feel better and am happier now then I have ever been. I have 4 beautiful children and 3 adorable grandsons...life doesn't get much better!!!


Okay stepping down off my soapbox now!!!!! lol

nothing wrong with being proud of your self and family K2. I found a cup of hot green tea with honey in it helped me sleep alot better. the sleepy time tea worked good too if i remember right it was celestial seasons brand.

FullD..

You are testing my theory before i can Love it.

Fingers Crossed...but seeing how your oxygenated water works..it has to be worth a shot.

Probably different to the thread you watched..but...
a Mossy K.I.S.S.

I have the air-stone in the top 1/3rd of the pot........
I want the oxygen for the tap root..to give it the oomph to dive to the bottom 2/3rds.

I have one of the flat long air stones....
so I put a 1/2 inch layer of perlite right across the top of the compo.
Bedded the stone there..Upside down..thinking the watered compo coming from above might clog it up..
so face down.
Then another thin layer of perlite above..
then the compo top.

I have it right in the middle and I have sown two rows of seed either side.

I Think that the lighter perlite surrounded by wet compo May make an oxygen pocket..
because it will be harder for the air to escape into the compo.
Line of least resistance.

If it works..I may add more air stones...
But hey..Test first eh...

If it fails..I have lost a few ALF#3..no hardship...

I tried something similar to that and it seemed like it worked pretty good till the line cloged up i just had air line with perforated holes in run thru the bottom and you could see the air bubbles coming up when watering kinda seemed like it made the soil dry a little faster.

Aw wow Bro..that explains a Lot.
I just though it was one of these Minature problems..they can have a lot of problems carrying.

Yeah the more and more that i think about it the more it really would make sense. She has had several litters in the past and they were smaller than dollar bills after born. These were the size if not bigger than a dollar bill. It only makes sense now.

you do know about tickling their bits with a cotton-wool pad after they feed so they express their waste..?
karma sent for the poor little things.

The two that have made it to today are going potty atm. So far so good. If these 2 can make it another week i feel ill be out of the critical woods. Im hoping they have their eyes open by then. Cause if they do theyll pretty much make it.
Fingers crossed

Thats what i was thinkning too, it has to have some kind of benefit

Good call on flipping it. The compo will clog the stone. I will be inserting mine into a sponge to assist in water holding as well as to keep the dirt out. I figure that if i have a sponge in there with o2 on it any water left will constantly have o2. This way the left over water doesnt become damaging.

If it works..I may add more air stones...

If it works i see more airstones getting purchased by a few floks

Oh Honey, I wish it was as easy as drinking sleepy time tea!!!! Only thing that will knock me out for at least a good 4 hour stretch is a good narcotic high!!!! I have heard that papaya from Nirvana is good for achieving the results I am seeking. My tax return from good ole Uncle Sam will be put to good use next year!!!!
