Buckshot's Perpetual Grow, LED, Pro-Mix, Evolving Feeding Routine

[Mr. Krip]

If you're growing fruits/veggies, I HIGHLY recommend Cascade Minerals applied as directed. The mineral content in my produce this year must be incredible. Heavy fruits and veggies. Peppers are thick with firm flesh and a waxy shine (without the wax!). Best peppers I've grown by far. I usually have problems with the bells, this year they are banging. I just posted a few pics of harvest baskets over in Cannafans The Beauty Of The Changing Seasons. The peppers were picked today (except the cayenne string).

I might need to give that Cascade Minerals a try! I currently use Azomite, and don't know that I'll replace it, but maybe add some Cascade Minerals to the mix. I do like giving as wide a spectrum of minerals and microbiology as possible!

 

[Heirloom]

Obviously azomite's good too. I actually used both on some things around here. Blackberries and Blueberries I remember for sure because I did myself in February. Everything else got just Cascade when the family built the rest of the beds.

If you're using AZ, don't know if you need to add CM, really. Prolly won't hurt though! My berries were bumper crop. About 120lbs of Blues!

This is just Variegation, not any kind of virus It's an ornamental genetic thing.

Folks

that is not a deficiency on the blue moon shine. That is approximately a 20th generation clone and they all had this two tone leaf thing no matter how or with what it is fed. It looks like what PC has on one of his plants but has never spread for me in years of growing. From what I understand even the seeds will have it.

I get the twisted blades on my TMV infected plants:

I don't know.... I will look for that hook

 

[Buckshot]

Not giving you the silent treatment - you just had me stunned with the pollen thing!
I don't know anything about the health benefits of the pollen, so can't really comment, but I can't imagine it would be bad for you in any way.

Well get over to the tube of you and search for it! We use so little of what is around us. Want a nice coffee substitute? Folks know about chicory but you can do the same with dandelion roots... Are any of you folks old enough to remember Euell Gibbons

Buckshot, you my friend need to get a book or two on Traditional Chinese Medicine and Native American Medicines. I want to find a good book on Aboriginal methods too, being the oldest continuous civilization on the planet they know a thing or three.

The western doctors are going to kill you with their ignorance and deals with pharma.

You can order nearly anything you need online.

Actually, everyone reading this should do this regardless of current health.

Thank you... you have any suggestions? I think most of my meds could be replaced. I do feel my health care is killing me... I have "excellent" health care but I am afraid even "the best" now means getting passed on to the other guy. It Sucks!

Hey Buck . Hmm pollen, got me on that one for sure!

After thinking on it, pollen of all types must have similar properties. The fact that our favorite plants seeds are superfood, why would the pollen be any different? ... just typing my thinking

I agree 420%! I've become a big believer that what makes us sick is what they put in our food, water, air, and medicines. Over the last several years, I've been trying to grow as much of my own food as possible, in addition to my own medicines; and, if I could grow air and water, I'd do that too!

You would not believe the shit in your dooryard! Hell I had never thought about plants like plantain (herb), check that one too, totally useful

I will check that out. I use Azomite now.

Agreed

Still gonna check it

[Mr. Krip]

Ver nice, Bro!

 

[TheBlaze]

Glad I found this journal.

Subbed!

 

[PotChimp]

With my plants, none of them ever had that variegation (or the warped leaves) originally; they developed it after exposure to my one plant that had those symptoms. My 1024 plant I kept cloning never showed it once for over a year until a clone of it was in the same tent with my C4DD plant (the first one I ever saw it on). The same with my Ak47 plant. If I didn't have the twisted leaves and the migration from plant to plant, I would have thought the same; that it was a natural leaf color mutation.

I know the bm is harder to care for

 

[Buckshot]

Sorry folks it has been a while

Compost Girl

she is putting on weight she is very sensitive about it

Chemdawg x RPK

Durple pream hybrid

some haze x GDP

Double dab to ya

 

[Mr. Krip]

Buckshot! Very nice, Brother!

She might be gaining weight, but she's putting it on in ALL the right places! I LOVE those top-heavy girls!

 

[Canna Montana]

What's up Buck! I wanted to stop by since you made an appearance in our journal.

You have some spectacular looking girls over here! I'm glad you stopped by. I wouldn't have known about this little honey pot if you hadn't.

 

[Heirloom]

I agree with Krip, she's got it in all the right places. In fact, she needs to put on about 20-30 more lbs.

Thanks Folks ...

Black Ants...

I thought black ants they don't hurt cannabis right? but I kept thinking WTF are they doing

I checked on the interweb and found they are most likely herding aphids... yikes! So I put my good glasses on top of my other good glasses and found some aphids I also found a few fat lady bugs but not enough to do the job so off to the store, $12.95 later and I was releasing 1500 hungry little ladies to munch to their hearts content!

I also broke out the rest of the pollen and made my last dusting. I realize I already have whatever seeds compost girl is but since she is compost girl I will have to figure it out by trial and error, there are 5 or so possibilities. I hope for a bunch of seeds but she does not look like she is getting pollinated, time will tell.

compost girl ... I know, again? I can't help it she is amazing!

 

[Buckshot]

dang missed by a minute!

FYI, here are a couple of tips on lady bugs:

1) When you first get them, put them in the fridge to calm down and store there until release
2) Before you release them, water the garden lightly
3) Release them at night

If you do the above, they're more likely to make your garden their home. You make them less active/agitated AND release them where there's food AND water.
