Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

Hello everyone. I just received my seedboutique order today of 3 packs of GageGreen LA Haze and a pack of GGG Pepe Le Dank. LA Haze is LA Confidential x Kali Mist crossed to a powerful Afghani Haze male. I dropped five after scuffing for a bit. I love Kali Mist above all else. What other crosses do you guys know about using Kali Mist other than Kali Bubba? I hope they germ as these are beans from 2010. I believe I bought the last 3 packs in existence. I'll post the results as I go.

I have to say I love Kali Mist as well. The effects are sublime if grown to potential. I think they should be fine as far as germing, I've popped seeds that were over 6 yrs old and had great success with them. I'm so jealous how you can get these seeds from all over, and I went with what I thought would be safer than Tude, and it gets caught up at it's first stop in America. Oh well, I was really wanting that G-13 x Skunk#1 though. That's what's really catching my eye over at Gage Green, are the G-13 x Skunk#1 crosses like Cindy Le Pew, Pepe Le Dank, and the other I can't think of off the top of my head. I know there is some dank in a pack of any of those. 5K Puff would be amazing along with the Mendo crosses as well. What am I talking about, any of them have possible mothers there with alot of different needs being covered as far as medical necessities as well as having a nice coverage of flowering times, and indica/sativa ratios. Very jelly bro, have fun with the new beans. Are you evr gonna be happy with your collection, or are you going for a some kind of Guiness record? JK have a good day man. Peace out.

I love collecting the beans bro. I just went out to my little local grow shop and picked up my first vent fan and ducting. Now I have to figure out how to install this crap. I am not very handy so I am dreading it a bit. Any advice on how to block light leaks out from the intake and exit? Thanks for any help here.

Did your Herbies order get snagged?

Aluminum tape. It works great for light leaks and sealing up tour duct work. Duct brand tape also has reflective sided duct tape, and it's also really handy. You can find both at Home Depot and the sorts. They also have a ton of different couplers and brackets for all your ducting needs. You can also ask someone who works there for a little help and some of them are handy at figuring stuff out, some of them are idiots too though. Hope that helps, I have a tent for flowering, and T5's in veg so I don't run any ducting except my in-line booster fan on my scrubber. Have fun with all that any specific ?'s just ask as I do know a little about it. Peace out. Oh don't forget you fan speed controller!

EDIT: I'm not sure, it says processed through sort facility, and has never been updated since. Who knows?

Thanks Myco. You are the best. I'll talk to you later bro. Have a great day.

Looks awesome. That is one hell of a cross. I always liked the Anesthesia breeder. You are feeding my addiction. Not fair.

I am posting up a some pictures here to show what teas can do for overall health. Last Sunday these plants were less than half this size and suffering from a P deficiency and a high soil mix ph from my dumbass using too much dolomite in their mix. I ordered diamond mylar, which will be here this week, so I can set up a proper veg area. I want to throw these into flower in a week or two and cut clones. I am looking for a few top shelf females to keep as mothers.

Take a close look at the last two pictures. This one PE female is showing signs of what I think is light burn. If its not light burn then its a sign of P def, which I dont see that being possible since I used Budswell 0-7-0 in the last two teas. It is the only plant showing these symptoms. I found a picture of light burn in JC Stitch's book Marijuana Garden Saver and this looks identical. I was also thinking that the plant may have run into a patch of "hot mix" in its container. I really spend time mixing the blend but there may have been more of something in that 1 spot. This last part came after some OG so I apologize if it does not make sense.

My little hydro project is still in play. I started it yesterday using clones from VISC test gear and includes Infinity, THC, 420, and Sin. The strains in the soil mix include Kali Mist, PE, Blue OG, BB's Engineer's Dream S1 purple pheno, Bubblegum, Kali Bubba, Lemon Kush, Green Poison, Power Skunk, and a few others. I added dolomite, azomite, mycos, azos, EWCs, 3 types of bat guano, Seabird guano, and a bunch of perlite. Soil base was FFHF.

They are under 650 watts of MH. They have been under 400 watts of Mh for 10 days and I added a 250 MH last night. They were under a TEK 2 T5 light prior. Without running downstairs, I think the seeds were placed into germination 5 weeks ago this weekend.

The 3rd picture in the top row and the first picture in the bottom row are 2 examples of the Kali Mist . They are 90% sativia. They are not burned from the teas at all. Thanks for looking. I am trying to learn as much as possible about organics. I am finishing up Teaming with Microbes and I just ordered Soma and the Rev's books about organically growing MJ. I have only been using teas a week and I have never witnessed growth like this before under any circumstances. Take care.

Looking good man

Here is an update on what I have been up to. I am testing for Gage Green Genetics and I will start posting that up in another spot or here. I have not decided yet. I have been germinating a bunch of strains including OG Raskals White Fire, Gage Green OB Ripper, TGA Chernobyl, TGA Jack the Ripper, Gage Green LA Haze, Gage Green Super Blue Dream x Freedom Baby, and Gage Green Starlet Kush. I have cloned a bunch of Serious Kali Mist, G13 Pineapple Express, G13 Blue OG, Serious Kali Bubba, Sweet Seeds Green Poison, Female Seeds Lemon Kush, Female Seeds Bubblegummer, Kannabia Power Skunk, Breeders Boutique Engineers Dream (Purple Pheno S1), and some others I may have forgotten at this time. In veg I have Gage Green Sun Maiden, Gage Green Daybreaker, and Cabin Fever Alexander Kush aka FrostMonster. I am on a quest for the best mothers and I am going to let everything that does not meet or exceed my expectations go.

Today I'll start to mix up the Revs True Living Organics 2.1 Supersoil. This is quite the mix. My mix will include:

1cft of Happy Frog
1 cft of Coast of Maine Bar Harbor blend
2cft of coco
2cft of perlite (large and small)
1cft of EWC
1cft of Maine Coast Lobster Compost

Amendments are:

12 cups of Happy Frog 5-5-5
4 cups of greensand
6 cups of oyster shells
4 cups of dolomite powder
14 cups of prilled dolomite
2 cups of blood meal
2 cups of rock phosphate
4 cups of gypsum
4 cups of kelp meal
32 cups of cow manure
2 cups of high N bat guano
4 cups of feather meal
8 cups of bone meal
4 cups of Happy Frog bulb fertilizer
2 cups of excellerite
2 cups of azomite
4 cups of humic acid
4 cups of alfalfa meal
8 cups of organic rice

I am planning on cooking this for 4-6 weeks. I'll be using RO water and I'll post up the manure bottom layer, the mellow mix, the teas, and the fertilizer spikes when I get to mixing them. It is not as bad as it sounds. It is rather expensive to get all the stuff together though. Here are some pictures of what I am flowering right now. They are all from VISC and include 420, THC, GSPOT, and Olympic. None of these made the cut to keep since I have so many new strains to look into. I am sorry for the number of pictures but I have not updated in awhile. My germination/seedling chamber is included in the photos. It was lights out time in my veg room. Thanks for looking everyone.

Hey everyone. I can't post any pictures. I have contacted the mods and I hope to get this fixed asap. I apologize. Please keep checking back in today to see if they fixed this problem. Thanks for checking in. I am sorry for this trouble.

The third and fourth picture from the bottom are a prime example of why you never take the cover off a fan. I tilted the plant into the fan while moving it when it was a month into flowering. I almost shit my pants and took off the top 1/8 of the cola. It recovered nicely but lost fan leaves.

Beautiful Flowers bro!! Can't wait to see some dried buds from those ladies. Is that your visc gear? What ever they happen to be, dank is definitely a fitting word. Very very nice.

EDIT: That's you Gage Green gear?

Thanks bro. That is the VISC gear. They were my warm up run. I'll post up the GGG stuff soon. Thanks for looking. Take it easy.

I'm not done, I was figuring out what was goin on. That is some incredible pictures man, really pro stuff. Those ladies are out of this world, there should be aliens hangin out in the photos, I looked twice, but didn't see any. I was gonna keep count of all the pics I like, but would have to just say all of them now. I like all the soil amendments too, nice selection, and choices. That's a hell of a soil recipe you posted earlier, I would like some of that for my ladies. You're right about it being expensive to collect such a line-up. I find that buying the ones you use the most in bulk to help with that a little. Like E.W.C. I try to buy that in 35lb bags or larger anymore. I use a ton of castings in a year, really like em. At least my plants do. I've been trying to buy all my amendments and such in bulk when possible, I try to keep the future in mind as much as possible when purchasing to keep it all at a minimum. Your veg area looks really nice too, alot going on. Very tidy though! Quite nice all this. Peace out bro.

Thanks Myco. I try to keep up with you. I am nowhere close. I need to get my ass in gear and start working them. It is really amazing the jump in yield you get when you bend these plants. Keeps the canopy even too. The bigger seedlings in the tent are GGG SunMaiden, GGG Daybreaker, and Cabin Fever Seeds Alexander Kush aka Frostmonster. I have 3 GGG LA Haze that popped tails in the tent. I also have 3 female OG Raskal White Fire OG that I am excited to run and are popping tails. Busy time but its all good. I just mixed up my coco and will be rinsing the hell out it it tonight in a pillow case. Let the games begin. Thanks for looking. I always love to hear your input.

I think you're a hell of a gardener bro, there's no keepin up. you have your style and tech's and everybody else has theres. Your pictures of those flowers show the story behind em, and besides the one that got the fan, GOOD GRIEF they're beautiful.


Here's my fan mistake I think yours looks better bro. LOL. Anyways, I really like when you come round my thread and let me know how I'm doin too. I never take a comment or suggestion as criticism as I know you're just trying to help, same here. I've been waiting on the LA Haze, and am excited about them along with the other Gage gear, and the Alexander Kush by Cabin Fever I was reading about from the link you sent me. Sad how it got it's name, but the strain sounds incredible. I'll be waiting eagerly for updates on it all man. Peace out.

all of this looks amazing man. right now im running a random sour d cut , but will be doing plushberry, sinmint cookies, tangerine power and jesus OG very soon. All in TGA super soil , with AN mothers earth super tea for base nutrient bloom. Not sure if youve ever heard of him but im following a OMMP fro oregon names KoMas beneficial tea recipe in between feedings and waterings and I must say it kicks fucking ass and has added insane results. its 5 gallons of RO water , 3 Teaspoons of roots oregonism ( but i use great white) , 10 ML Humbolt Honey YS, and 3-4 tea spoons of carbo load. I brew with 3 air stones on top of a heating pad for 48 hours and when I add to medium it goes right to work. talk about explosive growth. my roots could strangle me

I know a ton about Sub's Super Soil. You are running in something that is beyond as good as it gets. I love the sound of your tea. I use the Mother Earth teas sometimes myself. I use the Humbolt Honey as my molasses. I am a fan of the carbo load too. Have you tried the Bud Candy? It's pretty nice.I can't wait to hear about your Jesus OG run. I just popped Chernobly and Jack the Ripper. I am getting my hands on a cross of Space Bomb x Gage's Royal Flush. Royal Flush is Chemdog x Joseph OG. Sub said that Space Bomb is his favorite strain from seed ever. I can't wait for these seeds. Thanks for stopping by. I would love to hear about how your soil and grow are doing bro. We are all here to help each other out. I want to learn. I tried to rep you and it said I have to spread it around before I hit you up again. Much rep to you bro.

thanks bro much love I appreciate that. Yeah I'm trying to set up a few things with proxy and IPs and I should have some pictures going soon. GoPro is on the way and my camera phone sucks haha. I have heard about the bud candy, but I havent used it yet. Reason being I've been told its not organic, well... some non-organic things wont kill my beneficial organisms but ive heard bud candy would. could you clarify maybe? im pretty careful whos advice I listen to so Ive just been using what works. But yeah I was gonna buy some Royal Flush from a friend from MI but ended up not :/ . ive got a pretty good lock on GGG, TGA, RD, Bodhi, MTG , GDP, so the sky's the limit. Im not new to hydro either, but prefer organics. Waiting on a 4 spot undercurrent will definitely keep you updated on all of it . everythings lookin' great!

These are probably the healthiest plants I have seen on RIU. They SHINE right out the screen, so vibrant. A new goal of mine is to grow a plant worthy of one of the many compliments I've seen you pass around. MASSIVE RESPECT.

Beautiful garden. I am going to be putting aside the time to re-read this thread properly.
