I just have them in starter soil stuff. nk starting mix: sphagnum peat, horticultural vermiculite, perlite, wetting agent, lime for ph balance
I go store, I buy starter soil, I plant seed, I add add water, they grow.........you got me puzzled, lol. Starter soil is just a grainy/sandy soil, you don't want them sitting in a bogy puddle (which is where spagettinum or whatever it is, cometh from:). I would also hazard a guess at no lime being needed (do you use ro water?) If you took them out to have a look at the roots I guarantee they look off white and not fuzzy like they should. When I have a plant that is not growing too well, or I suspect I have drowned the poor bugger, I check the roots out and they aways look thin and spindly. As you know, a lot goes on down there.

For you starting with a soil grow, I would seriously have just recommended going to the store and buying a bag of soil for roses, and then a few of the things for making tea. There really is no need to add a gazzillion billion things into your soil from different corners of the earth, lol.......christ, this 56.7% GlenGarioch is nice! haha. So if I were you, I would start two timing the bitch, get some hydro on the go, and fling a soil plant or three in there for fun, just cause you got one side of your life locked down, doesn't mean you can't have some randomness on another. Be like Don and I, a million things going on and we only remember a couple of them, lmfao.....

I mix a bag of square foot garden blend (5 types of compost with coir) with a bag of jungle growth pro mix (which is a fine grade of peat and pine compost) and add 25% perlite. I'm feeding with Natural Guard 6-2-4 with microbes and bloodmeal 12-0-0 at every up-canning....which is 3 times on seedlings. jiffy to 9 oz cup to 4" to 1 1/2 gal. An occasional feed with a tea as needed. Otherwise just water. :peace: cof

I put them in soil and add tea every week or so, and water... Dats it.
Did you add the lime or was it already in the mix? If you added I would say high ph is locking out shiz. Other than that, like d said, I'm perplexed.

Half the plants look like shit this morning. I suck at this. :) No worries... I'm going to put some in a DWC, I'm going to top dress a few with soil, I'm going to topdress a few with kelp and worm casting, and the ones that look alright I'm going to leave alone. Pretty much over this soil deal. It's a shame too... I enjoy it a lot. And damn does my herb smell and taste nice. This soil stuff really is a different feel. I'm not going to bag soil all together. I think I'll just run hydro for the most part and keep a few soil plants going to try and figure it out. I'll get it one day, haha.

My shoulder is messed up. Rotator cuff I think... only hurts when I do certain things... only problem I can't tell exactly what those things are. It seems random thought i know it's not. Grrr. I also think I'm a course short on blocks, so I'm gonna need to put some in with the wood order and have to wait for it. Getting behind schedule now. :(

My prisoner buddy is still living in my jeep. He's getting some money together, get's paid $350 a week I think. Put in 8 hours overtime last night. His outlook is good... he's got some friends out where he's at. And he even posted a pic of this coworker chick on facebook. LOL... she looked pretty good... and had her 2 foot RooR sitting right in front of her. Ha. He's staying away till he's off parole. He was never into smoking anyways. I'm proud of him. :)

Mom in law is in chicago right now on a layover. She'll be here late tonight. I like her alright, but wife doesn't get on with her that much. That's why the stress.

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far. Cooler today. Still only hit about 82f (just under 28c) up here. It's nice.

Baby is getting closer everyday. Almost 29 weeks... can you guys believe it. Seems just last week it was 14 or something. We are really getting there. Woot! Can't wait to meet my little H.

Lol... wandering around youtube. I guess science says the moon doesn't exist as we know it. :) I love the internet.

Duh jig. Didn't you know the reptilian shadow people race made the moon and its a secret base for them to control us from? sheesh, get with it!

I learned all that next. hahaha. There are a few interesting thoughts in between some of the craziest stuff I've ever heard. Wow.

Something I trip on, the earth is in what they call the sweet spot from the sun, in distance. It allows all the things that keep us alive to exist. Oxygen, water, temps etc. I read that there is likely millions of other planets throughout the universe that fall under this same sweet spot of their respective suns. Safe to say I don't believe we're alone here!

I don't mean to sound stupid or like I'm making fun, but you know what I trip on. Planes. I seriously think it's nuts that we fly through the air in metal containers. And 'we' do it all the fucking time, like it's no big deal. I'm just gonna fly across the country now... see you in a couple hours. It's just amazing how fast we can get places.

They talk about how things are so far away in space, how we could never get to those planets like ours because of the distance. We have a completely different concept of distance than we had 100 years ago. Give it another 100 or even 500. We'll figure that shit out for sure. Haha... it would be a trip to meet other life forms. I wonder if we'd be dicks or honorable in their eyes. I'm sure some of both. I wonder what kind of drugs they have. Trip out on that, haha... alien acid. I bet it would trip you out in ways we've never even thought of. Whatever that means.

I weighed out my second to last plant. 5 grams. :) One plant left to weigh (probably no more than 6 grams). I don't think I'll hit 3 oz, but I got over 2 and that a long while of smoking for me, so it's all good.

Hope your sunday was good, and here's to a smooth sailing week.

Thats the "goldilocks zone", chaka.
And heres the drake equation,,, it was around before the rapper...



The Drake equation is:
where:
N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible (i.e. which are on our current past light cone);and
R[SUP]*[/SUP] = the average number of star formation per year in our galaxyf[SUB]p[/SUB] = the fraction of those stars that have planetsn[SUB]e[/SUB] = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planetsf[SUB]l[/SUB] = the fraction of planets that could support life that actually develop life at some pointf[SUB]i[/SUB] = the fraction of planets with life that actually go on to develop intelligent life (civilizations)f[SUB]c[/SUB] = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into spaceL = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space[SUP][8






[/SUP]We are not alone. I can guarantee you that.... Ask jig, he knows all about strings theory aliens pulling on strings and other stringy stuff.






Also glad to hear your buddy is doing well,,, and your letting him live in your jeep,,, Jig you are a regular ol' angel you are.


:peace:

Sorry to hear of the soil issues.

I switched soils this Crop, but also started six new breeds,
and so I am not certain as to the cause, but I am dealing with
way more yellow leaves.

I am likely back to FFOF for my next few crops. I need to be
smart and only vary as few variables as possible between crops
so as to be better able to leverage what I have learned so far.

...it also seems to be genetic (Blue Cheese == Green, OGs == a tad wan)

Good luck!

I actually do know a bit about string theory. That is some trippy stuff. Everythings just knots in strings. And we are just blowing in the cosmic wind.... or something like that.

And I definitely know what you mean JD. For all I know my last round could have been all down to the genetics (as I tried a completely new source this time). I doubt that's it... but too many variables and one is lost.

Mom in law is here. :) :) It's actually not bad... I just like saying it.

I had already been and got back, :) It's ace, as you know our midwifery clinic (verloskundigen) are located literally within stumbling distance from our house. All is grand, well formed and bump progressing as bumps do. It was even doing a little dance while we were in there, the groover! (well, more like a show off like it's Dad!) It's crazy to think it's bpm can be so high. She told us today between 110 - 160 bpm is normal:shock: holy moly!
