McLoadie's Third Grow Journal

[mcloadie]

What is a "Dead Benny"?

Beneficials, bacteria, mychorrizae, all the stuff on the back of that nutrient box. They put propagules in the nutrients....ALL dr earth products have em, the company owner pioneered pre inoculated soils and fertilizers..........this guy is a genius....if ya get a chance check his stuff out...........you can tell by the smile on his face that he's confident in his products and his main focus is healthy plants.....that grow healthy people. The company is 50 miles from my last abode! Everything has expiration dates on it, he's a class act.......IMHO!

Hey Harley, and rico........that shit is only 12 bucks a box......it goes for a coupla good size closet runs, my current run will cost a total of less than 20$ for nutrients.......but the fuc-er cost me 60$ for dirt!

I just washed a chop today - 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup lemon juice in 5 gallons of water. If you use hot wash water and cold rinse water, you'll also improve color - 40 degree or more difference between them is best.

Well darn, wish I'd seen your recipe earlier Graytail. I washed my buds with too weak of a solution- only used a couple gtts of lemon and a pinch of soda. Did get some of the dust off them though.

Hi Mcloadie, love visiting your journal- alway learn a lot! Have a great Munchieday!

It's about a wash for me I got the dirt and it's gonna be $60.00 for the nutes for this run I'll follow you run and see how its done with the nutes you are gonna use.

I eyeballed the whole thing flower........they came out fine............loadie and I both get allergy reactions from weed, and we're finding out it's not the weed, but the contaminants...............imagine folks that are real sensitive...........I bet they get the stuffy sinus when they use dirty or dusty weed!

Doc Bud uses 3 5 gal buckets first one has 1/2 cup baking soda second one has 1/4 cup lemon and the third on is clean water changed often

The main thing I stress with organics is the delayed reaction effect...it takes a few days for the results of an application to show, we're growing soil now, and the soil is growing the plants......complete, healthy soil=healthy plants! It is a different way of growing......while still being exactly the same. BTW, don't stick a fish in the hole with the seed............IDK how that scenario was ever misrepresented, you know the story of the Indians teaching the pilgrims how to grow corn.....I don't think the Indians ever even saw corn before that. What a person could do is put the fish a foot away from the corn....when it broke down it would be available to the plant. What I would do is plow the fish into the soil with the roots and debris from the previous crop into the soil, and I would have been growing beans in between the rows to add nitrogen to the soil.

That makes a lot of sense- As sticky as weed is, smoking unwashed buds must be about the same as smoking a used Swiffer Duster. I have alot of allergies too so it will be interesting to see if I can tell a difference.

I'm sure it's going to be noticeable, the contaminants are so substantial. I would like to see jon705 research the factors it takes to get a product hypoallergenic certified. I'm sure that if there's a couple of us here that appreciate the cleaner product, that there must be a demand for a product like this, and if there is, it would demand a premium.

In it's new home, I'll let it grow for a bit, then tack it to the wall.

LOL I believe you have gone snap happy Mc

I never thought about the allergens. I always felt that if I am smoking/burning something that would inherently cause my stupid deviated septum tissue to swell just enough to only be able to breath out of one nostril (which I am pretty used to at this point). I have a lot of confounding variables like dogs and an airport, but you got me thinking friend.

I really like the Native American fish story. So true! They tell us so much bullshit in school it is crazy. I am still mad that they made me sign that stupid thing for D.A.R.E...poison is legal but medicine with munchies being the worst side-affect isnt ha ha.

Plants are looking great too

It is addictive...and can be productive...I'm just sick of keeping plants alive not knowing if I'm ever gonna need em............bend em over and pour it to em..........at least that's what you always taught me!

I have also noticed that the purer indica strains will cause a little congestion, and if I smoke em exclusively my lungs hurt. When I was in kindergarten my teacher showed us a picture of a santa clause suit and a fake beard and told us there was no such thing as santa clause....that bitch, I bet she feels stupid now, last year I left him a note and told him to shit on her kitchen table and stick a candy cane in it!

Santa sponsored me with the club, I will defend him with my very life if necessary, and everything he stands for. The elves love the off season, santa is cool and lets em grow weed. The temps at the pole make it easy to do hydro, they put snow in the buckets to make the bubble.
