    Need help IDing an issue

    I grow in the jungle so I have regular visits from spider mites but they get eaten by predatory insects in a day or two or squashed by me. So yes bite marks are from those little fuckers

    Need help IDing an issue

    Hi guys, growing outdoor here in Central America and have a new issue I haven’t come across before. I feel it may be a slight calcium toxicity, I reamended my soil from my last run and added more calcium carbonate, rock dust and worm castings to my current pots. Due to the natural 12/12 light...

    Stem Stress Techiques pre Flower

    That's it the name slipped my mind, I can see the possible benifits doing it indoors but I think I'll skip it on my outdoor ladies. Stem strengthing makes sense but that's about the only benefit I can see. My stems are strong on their own :blsmoke:

    Stem Stress Techiques pre Flower

Is there any truth in this?

    Microbial Compost Heads Unite

    Another thing I've also been wondering about compost for a while is: how serious does the chlorine in normal tap water affect the microbial life when wetting the compost pile. I always dechlorinate the water for my plants but how important do you think it is otherwise?

    Microbial Compost Heads Unite

    I run my finished compost through my worm bins once it's done so I'm sure by then it's teaming with beneficials and all pathogens are out competed

    Microbial Compost Heads Unite

    I always read or hear in articles and videos people saying that when a tea, ferment or some kind of home made KNF product goes 'bad' ie anaerobic that you should just throw it on your compost pile. My concern/question with that is if the compost pile has passed the heating up 'thermo' stage...

    Thank you for sharing mate, some new info there that is really interesting. I would take maintenance doses of RSO nightly if I was you just for prevention. :peace:

    Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry to hear about your wife's health issues. My advice is try to stick to the dosage Rick Simpson recommends which is 60 grams over a 90 day period, it is a lot to handle and even as someone who consumes a lot of flower it took me weeks to adjust to the...

    Only fair to share

    Hi, I just joined the forum because I thought it was only fair to share my story of recently beating cancer using RSO(Rick Simpson Oil) One year ago I was having a basic medical check up because I had passed 40 and never had one and during an ultrasound the doctors discovered 9 pretty...
