Keeping it simple

Alright I'm going to do some molasses and the Epsom salt on these 4 plants I got now it'll either kill Em or save Em it sounds like and honestly if I can just get something off these I'll be happy but I'm going to make the mix you recommended ealier with the kelp and alfalfa and all that good stuff :)
 
keep it very very mild or it will kill them and then welcome to the CannaScam
Don't get scammed by the hippy canna nerds that trip and believe fuel is needed to power their plants to the next galaxy
they are plants and have simple basic needs, over complicate or over chemical and death
patience is important
May the Ganja Gods bless your beautiful babies.
 
Well I'm going to rack out brother thank you again I'll post here tomorrow afternoon with what I could find in my shopping adventure hoofully I can get most of what I need :) and I hope this has given some others with limited resources some help on other products other than promix and subcools mix nothing against them bust not all of us can afford to have all that stuff shipped in nor is most of that stuff available locally so hopefully I'll be able to get things rolling good now for my second grow

And just for reference I am having to use tap water but I let it sit out for a couple days as I am color blind so the stop ph meters don't do me much good and I don't have money for a electronic one haha

Again thank you very much brother and I do hope we can talk soon you seem to have lots of info and I loom forward to learning more from you

One last thing I was looking at the general organics go box any word on that system and how could I best use something like that with just dr earth pot of gold perhaps? Thanks and best regards chuck
 
Haha hey Ganja do you have any advice on saving my plants at all that I have going? And also if you go back I was given advice on a revised soil mix with what I can or used to be able to find local do yiu have any advice on that as well? Thanks Chuck
 
just go to your local garden shop cheaper and more honest and more experienced than canna shops looking to fleece you and burn your buds
 
Lol we have ace hardware and Walmart in my town about 3 hours south there us a hydro shop but I haven't been able to get down there and as yiu can imagine no one at ace are wally world know crap about gardening I actually have been gardening for years but normally -13-13-13 and or horse shit was the norm lol
 
i betting between them two ace and wally world you could get them to order simple things like jiffys seedling mix or black gold. simple organic potting soil similar to dr earths like MG..yeah i know MG soil but ive used it several times(organic only.they have two types only) simple kelp meals n alfalfa meals should be too tough if they have an ok garden section in either place. I bet if you were to take out their catalog n look through n see what they have access too and can most likely get and take notes of their organic stuffs or good pics or something Id put my entire grow that i could get you a cheap organic grow..for future reference n all that. hydro shop is gonna wanna take you money..thats what they do lol just so ya know. but ya gotta start somewhere lol
 
Well that's what I'm here for to learn what I need to look for before I go I know they are gonna wanna screw me lol
 
I growing regular weed for years and I am bamboozled why anyone would put lime
Ph is more complex than many people in these boards think and that is why I often like to leave mother nature to take care of everything

OK you can put lime on your Azealeas but that is a rare exception in horticulture as Azealeas love to eat lime and naturally grow in limey soils, weed does not naturally grow in limey soils.

In fields of Marajuana naturally they get heavy rain which gives natural flush so this is in nature we have flushing with pure water, I use filtered or boiled water when I have no rain water collection left.

In nature there is time of no rain and this transition wet to dry seems to make the girls smile so answer seems like they need both

The strongest buds in rural farms come from simply mixing duck shit or chicken shit in the top soil after the plant has grown somewhat.

I like to plant on low soil and build the soil up around the base to promote extra low stem roots and support the plant in the wind.

Now the young plants are the most sensitive but as they turn into MJ trees they become more powerful and can handle anything and in fields I see the plants getting everything and surviving, some farmers piss around their plants, some farmers throw the excess milk from their dairy on the soil, some add compost from dinner leftovers, dead pets are buried in the MJ fields and so on and it seems like when they get buddy they can devour almost anything.

Now having layered and mixed soils means we do not have 1 Ph but a Ph spectrum that enables all nutrients to be absorbed readily.

We do not need to do all this "Ph balancing" as that might ruin the soil as the balance is done by nature, the rotting fruits in the compost along with rotting fish help make the microbes for the soil so need to buy microbes and breed in mollases as that could cause mass microbes to create a flash acid Ph on the poor girls.

I put the clean water in a big bottle half full and shake it well to fill it with air before flushing.

Now I know lime could be used to neutralize excessive acidity in the soil, but think where did that acid come from in the first place? If the soil is correct it should not be there and what is the simplest softest safest fix? A pure water flush. Those who know better are only trying to improve on nature but sadly for me I feel nature has got it right and we must follow nature not nature follow us. The water will cause the acidity to be washed out and there is no chemicals used whatsoever adding to the saltiness of our soil which is just what she wants.

Hope this inspires you and helps and note I am not a professional auto or indoor grower nor claim to be.

organic based soils as well as seedling mixes like jiffys or black gold.

bone meal,blood meal(or alfalfa and a lotta castings although you should have some castings imho)

alfalfa meal,Bokashi(but this you can make easily at home)

inoculates and wettable powders like Great white and myco madness n the like(liquids are lesser of them btw)

those types of products are whatcha really wanna cross.(safety!! you can get jacked up using these too btw)
Lime prilled is best as well as a pumice rock along with oyster shells(crushed is best can get these possibly local too and break em up yourself)

powdered molasses and jarred molasses both are great powdered for soil applications.like now for example if you had used a few Tbspoons for example youd have lesser discoloration in your plants..

all kinds of products similarly..have fun man!:Sharing One:
