Whats up everyone, its been a while since I've been able to come back here. Things are finally at a good spot to do my thang again

I can not wait to get this season started. I'm looking forward to trying new methods I haven't had the time/space to do in the past. Getting my first batch of seeds going this week and see how 2012 goes

Big thanks to all the OG members who helped me out with all of these seeds, you all know who you are

Glad to see ya back in here TBR, where ya at now? If this is a grow show I'm gonna pull up a chair. good luck and if ya need any advise I'm willing to help!!

good to see you in the saddle again brother. hope to see some good shit this season from the outdoor section.

Hell yeah! Pumped for this grow!

Welcome back man. Now do the damn thing

gonna start my things once this full moon is overhead. great year.

Good to have you back TBR, looking forward to watching your next grows.

Any suggestions for all organic nutes? I'm picking up a few bails of sunshine #4 this weekend, looking to try something new for organic product wise.

if you're looking at dry ferts McDank could prolly help you out but if you're looking at liquid ferts perhaps something like General Organics would suit your needs but good to see you again pimpin

CANNA's BIO Line just added a BIO Rhizotonic. I'm curious myself, would love to see it in action as a full line. Its only 4 parts in total.

worm castings, guanos, kelp, chicken poop, greensand, sand (loosens soil), blood meal, bone meal, alfalfa meal, compost.

I am with OG. There is a good soil mix in stickied in the organic forum that incorporates most or all off that stuff.

haha i see a few of my strains there buddy, need any more hahaha

As stated above, a recipe within the Organic thread outlines a method in which the soil supplies most of the nutes. Try Technaflora Pure Vida - this is an organic nutrient program that is easy to use, not pricey, and works great! This shit is amazing. Hope this helps...if you had more time, your soil could be the answer; however, your soiling will likely not be humming in time to provide all the nutrient you will need. I hope this helps..if you need more help, let me know. Peace and Pot

Care to elaborate? I am always open to constructive criticism.

I'm going to use this thread for pictures, if you want detail information on the grow, I will be making a "grow log" in the other forum. Now on with whats going on....

This is what is in the "Empire Builder" soil. I have heard great things about this soil, so lets see what it does while my organic mix cooks.

TBR I see ya already have the chairs pulled up for us...

I like this alot. Gonna be watchin this one.

And this is my organic soil mix cooking, waiting for dem clones

Thank you SB, GW And Gbuds I am very excited for this season even with the super late start.


I am looking for an organic foliar spray to keep bugs off(esp during the flower stage aka Caterpillars) anyone have any products or suggestions for me to start looking into? I used "Bug off" by fox farm few years ago... didn't like it one bit.

Such nice weather lately

TBR, if you are talking about the green worms that attack the budz late summer, the best thing for those is a bug zapper. Kill the moths and the worms don't eat the plants. After the worms severely damaged my Amazon in 2010 that's what I did and no worm problems last year. If you want a good foliar spray use a compost tea and dilute it, best folier spray, keeps the bugs away and feeds the plants. DONT USE ON BUDS!!!!!

mother nature is about to put those girls on steroids TBR

Sorry for the late replay Gbuds - my point about the soil was building the nutrient content in the soil starting in the fall and by summer, the soil will be humming. Adding a quality compost, one which steams when turned, will add enough nutrients and allow the soil to begin working. The real effects can be witnessed the second and third years - if you use the same spot twice sorry for any confusion. This is a thread I will be watching..great job.

Pretty sure he is growing in containers.

I suppose one could make a plot just for creating soil for containers and "harvesting" some of the soil every year. Then add back the stuff from the containers after harvest. One could also grow crops on the plot specifically for their nutrient adding capabilities while your mj grows in containers elsewhere.

But, yeah, the JAWS Mix is not for creating outdoor gardens. Tho, I am sure that if one dug a hole and filled it with the mix, it would work just fine.

TBR,

Everything's coming along nicely! Looks like they're about ready for a bigger pot!

As far as pest repellent, I have had excellent luck with Neem oil. I know you said something to use when they're already budding... and I can't think of anything suitable for that. But if you use neem religiously up until flowers began to show, I find it sticks around and continues to work.

I get my neem from a local farmer who extracts it himself from his neem trees. It's a raw oil, translucent and quite viscous. I mix it about 1 : 5 Neem : water. That's a strong mix though. It's important to remember that it is an oil, and it will burn the plants if they're sprayed first thing in the morning and left in direct, intense sunlight. My solution is to spray in the evening, after the hours of most intense sun are past. You could always back the concentration off as well, 1 : 10 Neem : Water is still affective.

Also remember to shake the hell out of your diluted mixture as the neem will not emulsify into the water completely.

Best of luck! I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.

Diatamaceous Earth. DE Insect Dust. OMRI Certified Organic, awesome repellent and barrier for pests.

looking amazing so far. my work is done for now.
aside from some bahia's i just started, all is in them woods and growing tuff.

Its been quite a while since I've updated. Been waiting to weed out the males, finish cooking the veg super soil and had trouble getting clones this season. But at last I've got everything, and it seems to be running smoothly for now
