Grandpa's Second Try - Come Join Us!

What do you wanna try doing gramps?? I also have a question for ya.. do you use the chemical ph up and ph down?

Haha that is very true lady.. if it were easy everyone would have a go at it. Unfortunately growing isn't as easy as we make it seem.. my outside veggie garden this year was friggen pathetic lol. The soil was definitely to blame.

*See we're not talking about just a growing medium here, we are setting out to find the most adaptable feeding schedule for a visually impaired grower. So instead of us with sight, we pick a strain and best medium and we go with it. But Grandpa's grow has to be step by step until we find something that works. But seriously, we got this.

I have to applaud your efforts, I believe you understand the processes involved when it comes to having challenges to overcome. I think this is why it's sooo hard for everyone, because we are not the leaders here. Grandpa is, so we have to listen to him, his environment and adapt our practices to his abilities and schedule. IT CAN BE DONE!

I promise you, as people with disabilities, you keep going till you find something that works, kinda used to not getting things on the first try like many able bodied and minded people. So welcome to one of the hardest projects you'll ever work on, one of the biggest challenges that will shape you as a person, and one of the biggest rewards you'll ever feel in a lifetime. A story that will tell itself.

So steady ahead, we need to set sail because we have goals to conquer as a team.

Shhh, I'm kinda proud of you...shhh, don't tell anyone or I'll deny it, I need to keep my hardened exterior....NAWT...hahahaha
:Namaste:

I think we should do the CL. My only question would be if we could either layer or mix in some Fox Farms ocean forest with it? Also, I think I would like to put a layer of the build of soil in the pot with the auto. Interesting to find out what will happen with each one. I do have the Earth Juice Grow, Bloom and Micro-Blast nutes. The cal-Mag arrived today. My sincere thank you to Dom for that gift!
What do y'all think!?
 
Go with your instinct Grandpa, in fact, what's easier for you instead. Do you have the room to mix, or do you need to layer?

You know Dom is saving the day with that calmag, that was a huuuge contribution to the wellness of your plants and especially using two led's. Literally that saved your next grow right there.

Toasty, you likey? the plan?

Dom? whatcha thinking?

Indeed. Lady G...as always you put it better than anyone I have ever known could. Thank you! Everything you say is true, and I could not be a more blessed man with what I have here in the real world, and what I have ears with my family on 420. God is indeed very good!
 
My experience is very limited and mostly based off reading these boards. Coco perlite hempy buckets have been very easy for me though and economical based off what grandpa currently has, that is why I made the suggestion. Measuring nutes wouldnt be too difficult, some 5 ml syringes and a gallon jug with a little practice using them. The good part about the hempy buckets is that the reservoir gives a good amount of leeway on the days that the plants cant be tended to. If we really want to be crazy someone could setup an automated feeding system were he would only need to spend 30 minutes once a week mixing nutes then pressing an on switch (a little pie in the sky but why not dream big?)

First things first... I want to thank you again for the clay Pebbles and the cal-mag.
now... Let's not get that crazy. :tongue-out: I keep hearing about these hempy buckets. I have not been able to research what they are? What the heck are they? What are the advantages and disadvantages compared to fabric pots? I know those are answers are probably available here on the forums, yes I admit it, I'm being lazy.

KJ...you are far from useless. Look at your grow's! You do such good work. And you have helped me as well. I just want to make sure my appreciation for all of your and everybody else's help is known. The best way that I can show my thanks is to try and help others when I finally get something successful under my belt. Who knows? Maybe this wonderful family I have made here will be able to help in spreading the word to get more visually impaired people to learn how to grow without site. So... Rock on! :party: :young-plant:

Wow KJ! That's so touched my heart. No, doesn't sound soft at all. Just sounds like a good man. I wouldn't mind having that kind of result myself... LOL! I'm sure we will get it figured out, with everybody's help! I agree 100% about PW. If there are so many others that have health! So, we move on to the next try. Everybody in this journal, including yourself, are my family. I don't like to lose either, so between all of us you'll figure it out. I hope you have a very merry Christmas with lots of love and peace and wonderful time with family. God bless, my friend! :namaste:

Thanks so much for that offer! You hang on to that and your money. I know you are tight on it. I have both up and down, at least 1/2 bottles of each. Again, thank you for that kind offer. Just another reason why I am amazed at this community!
 
I asked about the ph up and down cause its not good to use with organics.. kills off your microbes. Never wanna mix anything chemical with your organics and visa versa. They dont mix.

Mixing the cl and of would make it so you wouldnt have to water as much i think. Good idea there.. go ahead and put some of the build a soil at the bottom of the auto. Will be interesting to see if that same thing happens.

Okay... So I guess we will be needing the CL and an organic pH up and down. We have a new bag of FFOF. I'm wondering if we can just mix that with the CL or do it in layers? I tend to lean towards the just mix them together.
Hopefully we can get those things in January, after we get paid. We'll have to really juggle the budget, though. Christmas for Seven Grand kids and one God Grandchild has really killed it for the next couple of months. :frown:

We wish everybody a Merry Christmas! May this holy season be good to all of you. May it be safe, peaceful, joyful day full of fun and family! May God bless and keep each one of you, and let His countenance shine down upon you with His favor...​
 
WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA & KELLEY & extended family galore!

Thank you for the roller coaster ride and the cool calm sailing, through brainstorms and fairweather grow cycles, WE WILL PREVAIL, I am a better person for having met you.

I have learned sooo much here, trying so many different techniques with my eyes closed, hey maybe that is why I keep fallin', duuuh. hahahaha. j/k

My sensories are alive here. I'm completely invested...all in. We are all here because we WANT and NEED to be. We all sit here equally taking on roles that makes us better people. I love being a part of trailblazing projects. I live for these challenges, why? because I know it's possible to crack this code and figure out the right formula for strain, growing environment and medium.

Thank you for putting up with me... I would still put you on my soccer team Grandpa... ;) much luv:Love::circle-of-love::Love:

Just absolutely humbled by your journey, that was a gift to have that insight, open eyes into the past, pave the way for happier life. So much I learned and absorbed, made me feel like I was watching, as I watch your journal now. The continuation of stories already told, a grandpa's dream to grow, I am sold. If I turn out to be half the person you are, with half the brain and half the wisdom, then I'm gonna be just fine. Although I'm sure I'm not going to heaven, I feel like I'm living in the clouds already. Does it get better than this, moment, 420 friendship, I would say respectfully no. :)
