Hey Bob, quick question for you if you don't mind brother. I am growing in organic KindSoil, and doing well. An issue has snuck up on me. One of the strains I am growing (Alaskan Thunderfuck) is supposedly a pure sativa. Its branch structure is weaker than my other strains and the buds are getting too heavy (terrible problem to have I know). People that grow hydro or in coco use silica to strengthen the cells in the plants. IS there a product that people who grow in living soil can use that will do the same thing and not screw up the soil? Figured you might be a good person to ask. Sorry for the off topic question and appreciate anything you have to offer. Thanks!!
... I need some of those Labyrinths in my life...:
He needs dogs with labryinths for skin?
Hey VS, give protekt by dyna-gro a look for a nice foliar spray, and kelp teas are also another great way.

Sorry for the late reply - been out of town in the wilderness. ^^^^ that is what I do!
then if that doesn't work since its probably too late to matter ... tie the girl up and tell her to keep growing. Heavy buds is a good problem to have , I love when that happens.
Woody no pm no pm no pm.... who has pm? My wife used to get that shit is was a bitch to deal with...... oh wait.....
I'll hopefully have a beautiful big ass flowers chopping party in the next few days.
I must have been confused and was thinking of someone else dealing with the PM issues. See I told ya,, wasn't too many pennies left in the bank nowadays.
Looking at the pic you posted of the red colored trichomes. I had one turn bright pink once. I mean electric. I figured she'd turn dark and look purple as she matured, but it stayed. The keff even looked purple. You have some pretty ladies growing on.

Ok kids this is my 2015 grow #1. This run we started from seeds. We are growing all organic so I thought that it would be time to support our organic seed producers so we went with a pack of 10 regular Krystalica seeds from Mandala and I threw in a few freebies with the Sleestack + Skunk #1. Also when trimming my last grow there were 3 seeds that came off one of the side buds that hermied at the very end of the grow. I found the 3 seeds when I was trimming buds prior to going into jars for curing, they looked very young and not viable so I threw them in one of the pots I transplanted the seedlings into and at least one has popped. So my last unknown strain that turned into some type of purple sweetness is still alive - which I'm very happy about. Anyway on to the grow.
What strain is it?
Kristalica from Mandala - 10 regular beans
SleeSkunk - 2 seeds
Purple SB (purple seedbag) Purple OG (can I call it that??) from last grow hermie seed sot it should be a girl.
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages?
Both are 75% Sativa hybrid
Purple ?? Mostly if not all Sativa
Is it in Veg or Flower stage?
Seedlings now in VEG
If in Veg... For how long?
2 weeks
If in Flower stage... For how long?
Indoor or outdoor?
Indoor soil LOS - Living organic soil
If soil... what is in your mix?
LOS = Living Organic Soil - I make my own soil, this round I am recycling the soil from my last grow - just take out the old root ball knock most of the soil back into the pot and throw the old plant material back into my compost bin. I have about 150 litres of finished compost outside in a compost bin that we use for soil amendments and we also us it as an ingredient in our compost teas. This soil is completely sustainable and 100% recyclable re-usable, any plant waste goes back in the compost bin and soil retained for next grow.
We do amend soil with the following:
Alfalfa meal
neem seed meal
crab meal
Kelp meal
Great White mycorrhizai
EWC earth worm castings
compost from our garden compost bin
bird guano
coco fiber and pearlite left over from original soil mix
GRO-KASHI Garden Dregs is a specialty fertilizer based on ancient fermentation - new to this grow for me - I added that in the soil I started to grow for this run about a month ago in a large plastic bin closed and watered. It grows a type of fungi/mycelium that is beneficial for plant growth and health. The science behind this is that we create a beneficial organic soil that lives in a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis plant (or whatever veggies you want to grow in the soil medium).
What I do is re-use the old soils from last grow, add in the amendments put all of that in a large bin water and cover for 4-6 weeks and fill my containers for the new grow. Thats it pretty easy and each grow it gets easier and easier and most of all is sustainable, organic and healthy for me and my ladies.
If soil... What size pot?
5 to 7 gal pots
Size of light?
600w HID
700w LED MarsII
900w LED MarsII
Is it aircooled?
yes just a vent fan with a scrubber
Temp of Room/cab?
Grow room pretty steady at 75F
RH of Room/cab?
RH in winter is low ~30% this will increase as the ladies get bigger
PH of media or res?
I dont use meters - no need in LOS soil
Any Pests ?
Fungus gnats - controlling them with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) spray kills on contact and beneficial nematodes in my compost tea. The gnats most likely come from my compost bin they are mostly just a nuisance. The H2O2 really knocks them out pretty much right away just have to get off my lazy ass and mix 1 part H2O2 with 4 parts RO water and spray. Kills adults and pupae on contact and is a benefit to the plants as well with extra oxygen.
How often are you watering?
When the soil dries out - water with compost teas and RO water no need to test PH!!
Type and strength of ferts used?
No "ferts"; my soil is alive with beneficial bacteria, mycelium and living organisms that live in a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis plants. Man made fertilizers kill off those beneficial biology, cost way too much $$ are not sustainable and quite frankly taste like crap. Once you taste organically grown cannabis you will understand, there's no comparo.
