Re: Props to you
Good to see ya NCW & Bapple from way over your way. NC...those are Geopots. Better than Smart's imo as Geos have a thick hemmed top so not floppy like Smarts. Those are 7's, which give me 4-6 footers. Have had a few runaways that hit 7-8' in that size pot. Indoors I use Root Pouch grays (middle of 3 grades). Found them cheap at Greenhouse Superstore dot com. 2 gal. less than $1 ea. Amazing, right? I was planning to throw away after ea. grow, but haven't since they stayed clean & in good shape.
Ok, here's what's in the EBS Bulb Food: feather meal, bone meal, chicken manure, bat guano, alfalfa & kelp meal, K sulfate plus lesser amts. of humic acid, & our 3 microbe buddies...bacteria, fungi, & mycorrhizae. Other brands are similar. I have all of this stuff separately except the chicken poop & K sulfate, & it's all in the soil mix. But it's easier at transition to just top dress w/ 1 product. Us old growers need more shortcuts. When 420 has an "oldest grower of month" contest, I might have a chance.
I don't use blood meal only because of old belief from early mountain hippy growing days that the blood has adrenalin in it due to stress of animal being killed. Questionable I know but made sense to me then so I've never used it. We had no 420 forums, no books, no internet then so there were all kinds of growing ideas & theories. Not a vegan by any stretch but those Kushman veganics growers are showing some impressive plants.
Hey con & Rad. Almost everything in life seems to be regulated these days, but not truth in labeling of our seeds. So we have to take it on faith & do our own determinations through our grows. The OGR MK seems legit. Strong similarities to Cali Bubba, its close kin, that was parent of Corleone Kush. Very close in smell & taste: cedar, pepper, sage. Parallel bud shape & size. Both show purple. Both hermy as often said. These kind of things plus info from research give me confidence that I've got gear that is fairly accurate & reputable.
I'd love to see you grow some Italian Chemdawg brother! The Cali 91 Skunk VA is supposed to be selfed from original clone. Dinafem Dinachem is supposed to be orig. clone x Guana Chem to resuscitate the weakening 91 clone. The Guava is tied to the orig. from the JJ-NY TopDawg line & AJ's Stardawg. I don't breed so IDK. As I've said, been on the OG trail for yrs. & this "orig" Chemdawg is better overall than almost all OG's I grown.
Rad...I've heard that someone did a complete DNA on the top strains. When you get down to it, modern genetics all have some % of the classics...Skunk, Haze, etc. I tend to stick to leading breeders & do what research I can. Cali's Swerve is a controversial guy who has a mixed rep but he seems to be connected & gets some killer cuts to work with. I've grown 9 Cali strains & haven't had one I didn't like yet. All FIRE. Like your idea though.
Good to see ya all!
Hey Brightlight!
Super looking buds and those outdoor girls look very happy.
Thanks for the advice re transition feeding in my thread. I will have to add that bulb food to the stuff I will bring back from the U.S. When we visit late August early September. For now I will be feeding BioBizz Bloom, and Plagron Green Sensation with an occasional shot of FishMix.
Hope you are having a sterling Saturday

A lot of times I read how great original Master Kush is, but it's getting rarer and rarer these days. I actually grew one cross of it back in the days and it was some great weed! This Chemdawg is also very interesting, I was eying HSO version hearing it was one of the best weed they had in stock, but I might give that one a try in the future. Whatever CC cut it with the quality came through I see
I am watching the evolution of terpene tests and how some terpenes correlate to effects.
With different terpene profiles for different strains, they can now produce a terpene map similar to a light spectrum map. Once a couple of major breeders and review sites like leafly start advertising the terpene profiles, other breeders will have to list their terpene profiles. We will the SEE who has real Master Kush. We will see if their White Widow looks, tastes, and performs like Black Widow - or actually looks just like their 'Panama' and 'Kush' strains.
It might be a fantasy, but I'd like to see it happen

Varies by brand but does take some getting used to. It's like healthy crack for my plants. They always look so alive & healthy after fish fert. Imo plants look better after fish fert. than compost tea. The NPK also varies, all over the board actually. This one is 2-4-0 & is perfect for transition/early flower. A friend told me I'd lost my mind when I told him I started using it indoors. I did have to offset the smell with some rosemary based gnat killer & turned up the fan to high for a spell!
Is your Chem 91 also smelling of lime?
