Hey Stone,

Sorry, yesterday got away from me. Here are some weights.

1 cup prilled dolomite - 8.57oz
1 cup powdered dolomite - 15.34 oz
1 cup prilled gypsum - 7.54 oz
1 cup oyster shell flour - 9.52 oz
all done on a digital kitchen scale

So my regular mix per 10 gallon pot before I added the extra calciums is:

22oz prilled dolomite
2.5oz prilled gypsum
4.75 oz oyster shell flor

So almost 2 pounds of calcium, magnesium, and sulphur per 10gal pot, and that gets my brix to at least 17 every grow. Now phosphorus and microbes and coco along with good watering practices all come into play too, but calcium/magnesium sets the stage for everything else to work.

I will get back to you later with a soil ph on what the pots read with the extra calciums, but normally it sits rock solid at 6.2ph.

That's a ton! I'm feeling more comfortable with next grow and that extra handful or two a pound is. Thanks for that info!
 
Your plants are looking awesome!! I hope everyone's outdoor plants make it through this nasty weather system that's hitting your gardens today. :circle-of-love:
 
I'm sorry I missed most of your grow, Stone but I'm happy to see you haven't harvested yet. Your outdoor plant(s?) look great. Sorry about the bud rot. I hope that's it for you this year.
 
Highya SO,

We got hit pretty good!! Not feeling so well, just bummed out for awhile. I went down this morning, but didn't look too bad. This afternoon (still blowing and raining) I could see from the house two more blew over. Just too much wind. I don't want to talk about this anymore, so I'll say Happy Smokin'

Good Morning Stone,
Has the storm passed completely? How did you fare? I'm in BC, Canada and its hard to get detailed info. Hope all is well.

Good morning Gee! My location in N.E. MA was hardly stormy. Less than an inch of rain and the wind in my yard didn't seem to gust more than 20-25 mph and a steady 8 to 10. So just a small storm here. It's a sunny morning and I'm about to feed and water them and give a good look. I didn't leave the house yesterday, the migraine showed up and flattened me so I may find a surprise but from the window it looks good. N. Scotia got hit hard I think along with Maine coast!
 
Sending good vibes to Bode!
Hope you are feeling better today Otter :love:
 
:meditate:Bode!:meditate:
 
Hoping for them to be alive and well Bode!
 
Highya SO, guys and gals,

Very touching is the show of support! Thank you very much for your concern. I'll have enough at harvest to go through until next harvest, if I don't lose any more. Yeah, that wind just kept hammering all day!! Happy Smokin'

I'm finding caterpillars in most but not all. Little Sh*ts!

Yeah sun's coming out for the whole week! That'll boost them!

You're on the edge of the zone @75mph Bode! Best of luck to you! I know you did what you can! I'm hoping for the best!

No little maggies in your rotten buds? You must be mitigating well!

We'll be fine! I got in IKLWA and tied the 4 biggest branches into the main trunk the other day. You get this wind all the time at your place don't you? I have some trees as a barrier here too.

Nature has her rules Cap'n. Rots one of them I guess. Oh well. I'll get a good share most likely! Outdoors is different. Here up north anyway. At harvest time we look at the good bud and forget the bad. It's a toll for growing outdoors. I'm ok with that.
Indoors is out of the question! Plants aren't 10 feet tall holding several pounds of magic on them! We have to fight that with all we have!

Hi Krissi, what a nice thing to say! It's juju like that that keeps me floating! I blame that on you! :love: Bode won't be dankrupt as long as I have weed and there's gas for our cars! It's actually a nice ride to get to each other even at 3 or 4 hours.
