Hi @Bill284, so it will be a great greenhouse for your plants, there it will grow by itself;).

That's the plan.
Hopefully leave them in there away from the bugs and rain.
But I don't think they will all fit.
There is going to be overcrowding come August.
So I'll probably have a few outside by harvest time.;)

Stay safe:cool:

Good morning Stone :ciao: anything exciting on the go this weekend.
I'm going to use @Remo Nutrients but it's a dog's breakfast as far as soil goes.
It's what evervi could get my hands on up here.
Stone what do you put in the soil to hold the ph where we need it?
What's the " Rev 's mix " ?
Thank you. :thanks:

Good question Bill! The Rev has a method of adding fast release dolomite lime with every water. I almost abide. I take a half tsp into 2 cups ro water and mix. When I water I stir and suck up around 5 ml and put one each into the gallons of water I use. Haven't tried the Azomite addition yet. When the 2 cups are gone I stop. It definitely sweetens the soil. A real sativa leaner will develop curled leaf tips until I start doing it. Then they grow perfect again after.
This is a Rev's quote from a recent post. I don't bubble, I should it stinks pretty bad in the jar. PPM matters to me I'm told, I'm not sure how much it matters to a soil not so high strung. My soil is years old so far and needs it for sativas I'm seeing. The more indicas, not so much at all.

AD Recipe for 5-Gallons of Low PPM Water​

  • 1/8th teaspoon Dolomite Lime.
  • 2 or 3 granules of Azomite.
  • Bubble for 24 hours and check PPM.
With your first bucket of AD water, you will be able to have a benchmark and adjust your Azomite ratios accordingly. Dolomite lime will take your water up (PPM wise) slowly, while Azomite has a somewhat faster effect, so keep an eye on this. You’ll want the water you’ll be using on your plants to end up at between 60 and 66 PPM, in my experience. 24 hours bubbling is perfect for me.

While many of the constituents of the Azomite are not actually used by the plant proper, that is not to say it is not used by the soil life and processes of the soil—I definitely think it is—LoL.

Not too much exciting happening. Just weeding and opening the pool weather permitting. Maybe fire up the grill. Got some chicken legs that need to see some fire! You?
 
Hey Bill. I was little behind again.

Hey Jon :ciao:
She went into flower already.
I'll have to throw her into an air pot.
I can't flower her in that cup.:rofl:
I was hoping she would be bigger before she flipped.
Now I have to mix some flowering nutrients.
Hope your having a great day.

Stay safe:cool:

Maybe not necessarry yet! :) Remo grow had 2-3-5 NPK, so I'd maybe just up the grow dose for a bit. And Grow had 1% water soluble Magnesium also! I think she would do fine for e.g 1.5-2ml/L Grow next week or two.

And she definitely would love some extra K to branch out more.
Anyway garden and greenhouse looking stellar! :cool:

Keep it up bruver Bill

Insecticidal soap only works on contact, once it dries, it's no longer effective!
However, since you said you've got munchers, full send the soap!

They only got 1 Fan leaf though. I will keep my eye on them, thanks.

What is the difference between the bug spray and the soap?

Thank you, I am learning quite alot this year. :thanks:

Hey Scott good morning. :ciao:
I'm going to spray one a week or so just to be on the safe side.
But I spent 2 hours and a roll of Tuk tape making the door bug proof.
But it's screened.
So mites can still get in.
But hopefully my @Sierra Natural Science sends my bug Spray soon.
I'm waiting to here from them for a couple months now. :rolleyes:
I hope they message me soon.

Stay safe :cool:

Good morning, Bill.

Love the greenhouse and can't wait to see it filled with cannabis flowers. :love:

Are you sure you're going to receive the Sierra Natural Science? This post says that SNS is shipped in the USA only.

Good morning, my very talented friend, Bill.
That's a great looking green house you made there.

Fro what I gathered between you and @danishoes21, the insectical soap is to kill the pests if they are attackinhg and bug spray is preventative?
Too bad Sierra is making you wait so long but I notices that you already have spray. Do you dislike the results? Should I try buying the one you have? :confused:
I wouln'd mind preventing the pests. Last years' indoor was not only Cal-Mag defficient (from what I have learned from here) but the also got these tiny black specks that looked like dirt but when I tapped a fan leaf onto my hans, they started skittering. The smoke was weak and ended up making bubble hash which was OK but ran outta stock by April. :(

Thank you so much that's awesome Stone. :ciao:
I'm working on the never ending greenhouse.
Howie keeps distracting me and we end up at the river.:rofl:
Using up the good weather.
Speaking of which we have some for a day.
I'll take it.
Hope you enjoy fog horn leg horn.;)
Take care my friend.

Stay safe :cool:

As much as I appreciate the thumbs up, it was obviously read yet not understood.
An answer to my question would be more appreciated.
Should I buy bug spray for prevention?

Thanks. :Namaste:

It all depends on the phase your plants are in, if you're still in veg you can use neem oil, and spinosad, or SNS209. If you're in flower you'll wanna stick with insecticidal soap, or SNS209 (SNS209 (Sierra Natural Science) can be used up till the day of harvest! It uses rosemaric acid that soaks into the plant's cells, so if something were to try to munch on the leaves, they'd either die or find it very disgusting!)

Thank you so much! :thanks:

Bill is still waiting for his SNS so I should start looking ASAP. Pistils showing at 9 weeks so I may be into early flower .

OMG Bill! This is YOUR grow! WTF am I doing inquiring about mine?

Thank you again, Darade.

My bad, Bill!:(
 
Roy Growin said:
Thank you for a very good answer
So... are enzymes of any benefit when using myco/frass/bokashi or not in your opinion?
At the moment, I intend to unless Bill tells me otherwise
Click to expand...
Omg @Roy Growin I'm so sorry :Namaste: I missed this post.
I don't know how this happened I feel terrible.
I wasn't ignoring you, infact I saw a post you did this morning and said hi because I've never talked to you before.
As RD. mentioned they are highly beneficial, smart cookie he is.
In combination with the microbes and fungi you will have a brilliant combination looking after your roots.
Hope your having a great weekend and I look forward to seeing you here when you have the time.
Do you have a journal on the go I can follow?
Thanks Roy, talk soon.

Stay safe :cool:
Bill
