What do you use for soil?

[Olive Drab Green]

I really like Root Organics' mediums, but @Gary Goodson was right, the Formula 707 holds a bit more water than is comfortable for, say, a younger plant. I'd rather go with the Original, Greenfields, or Greenlite.

Their dry ferts are pretty baller. And I like to use their Dry Nutrients Player Pack with their liquid catalyst, Surge. Considering getting Ancient Amber, Extreme Serene, and Trinity as well.

Original is good shit. I really liked it.

the 707 is their outdoor mix,I believe.

It's made to mix up how you want. It comes with, like, a week's worth of fertility instead of 3-5 weeks. But I imagine it could be used more effectively for outdoors due to its ability to hold more water.

yes I've heard the original has more ferts.imo rtu outdoor soils suck.you're really just buying the name on the bag.you end up needing to amend a whole bunch anyways.that's why I've moved to mixing my own with dusts and other ingredients.for the record @maman12 listen to these guys.I don't know shit about indoor soil,just be careful with the coast of maine

You both reported each other stop acting like babies move on

I know you deleted my post but I wasn't trying to start anything. I say r.i. kidd was being a jerk to the OP for no reason and if you saw what I posted you wouldn't have deleted it. I gave the Op some good options. I'm not here to fight I have moved on from 4 years ago. I can't help how I come off. you don't know the real me. Sorry if it came off wrong but I did nothing wrong.

I grow organically indoor and out and I just finish talking to one of the reps for The Soil King about amendments they carry because they're in Cali so I'll be saving in shipping, here's a pic of some indoor plants grown in my soil mix

dang I wonder if it's LEDs that make people hostile and aggressive. wonder if we locked someone in a room with super bright leds would the d-evolve into cavemen?

There are towns with new cob streetlights that are petitioning to get their nice mellow HPS lamps back. The bright white light is stressing whole towns out.

this all started in a different thread.. he was bashing seedsupreme when it was his own germination methods that were faulty.... like he was working for another seed distributor....I just don't like when someone bad talks a company knowing it's their fault not the company's ..... the op drown his seeds and blamed seedsupreme....it's like if I were to buy clones off you, killed them and blamed you for it...seedsupreme gave him a reimbursement in their own currency going beyond what they should have..cause he said to them "you gave me bad seeds only 1 of 6 germinated" and knowing you can't talk about that to a company.....point being...lol there's no point talking to these ppl

Can I see evidence of that? Not talking shit.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

If anything, that just proves the COBs are brighter and more penetrating than whatever wattage of HPS that was used for standard streetlights.

It was linked in one of the threads on the rm3 site. Just google it. It was here too like in the summer. There were more reports. People were stealing them for grows too. Just like the old days with HPS.

I'm sorry I didn't save it. We were talking about it months ago.

 

[REALSTYLES]

I can it's been going on for almost a year and a half ago

Not really. The visible light our human eyes see does not accurately represent how a plant receives light. Just saying.....

 

[Indacouch]

Why are you so dead set on ffof? It's not the greatest soil in the word.

Go to Home Depot and get you some Kellogg's patio plus. Add some pearlite to it and get a bag of lime. Boom, done and super cheap.

Duh Gary ffof is made for growing pot ...everybody knows that

Googled LED street lights and this popped up, but it seems people are more upset at their cities choice to use 4,000-5,000 kelvin rather than a lower kelvin. That article says that 3,000 kelvin should be the highest color temperature used.

It just proves that they are harsher and more glare to our eyes. And likely saves the township money on electricity and maintenance.

Cobs are less penetrating than HPS. That is why you only need 1 HPS bulb to a bunch of cobs to cover a decent footprint.

Cheaper manufacturing and only replacement for maintenance is why we go to modular manufacturing.

Front wheel drive is a great example. I was in the auto business for 20 years. Front drive is made so the engine and tranny can be formed as one and dropped right in by a robot.

The safety and performance they sold it with are myths. They were able to charge more money for less parts and work.

Computer chip parts are the norm for the same reason. Plug and play.

The era of the maytag repairman is over. We now have the "geniuses" at the mall fixing our devices.

Why are you always selling cobs? You haven't even finished a plant under them. It's like every thread you post in.

Good fast research. I'm sure the k was too high on the ones that were complained about this summer.

But aren't they all bright white so to speak?

1\2 of r.i. is using led street lights

I hate it.....it seems like someone is in front of my house at all times
