SmokerJoe's Indoor Organic Soil Bagseed Grow

That's quite a lot! Have you met KingJohnC or Light Addict yet? Do a search for them, great info, awesome guys!:welcome:
 
Yeah Ive talked to lightaddict just wanted him to know fluxing is a oldish training method but its not called that. Wasnt trying to burst his bubble though
 
"fluxing" was a method from Riley cooper which im sure he got somewhere and so on. Really probably everything imagined has been done if you think about it but it still is cool and I still gave props. Kingjohn I believe I seen some of his stuff but I dont think ive actually talked to him. There are a lot of members here so thats a good thing.

Yeah but im not sure im gonna put a screen on the others yet or at all. I want them to recover a bit more before stressing them more then they already were/are. But I have all the screens ready and made. Gonna make a blog post describing how and where to get the materials soon.
 
Is this molasses good for the plants my gf picked it up to surprise me with and i cant seem to find info online on it except golden molasses is blackstrap but id like to confirm it.

ah... I understand now (why there's not too many people).

Tips for joining a forum

Lerk until you know what the forums about
Get to know people before offering your opinion

Light Addict is an extremely well respected member here. If you were to read all the way back in his journals, you would see he is aware this has been done before; but not until he did it himself. Therefore, we give him credit, because he had no prior knowledge, and because he has his very own little flare and ideas on how to do it. We are a learning forum. We are here to learn from each other, and to experiment with things so others can learn from it. Light Addict is extremely loyal here, and if he had met you in a positive light, I am sure it would have been different. We have small to large scale growers, and the advice and help here is amazing!

With all of that being said, we are a learning forum. Members helping members. If you'd like to join us for a fun, positive ride, we'd love to have you!

Thanks for listening SmokerJoe, and I hope you take that positively! We are happy tokers here!
:thanks:

I wouldnt take what you said negatively at all. I just dont have time to read every single members journals and posts thats all. I gave credit he is a good grower and as long as you are teaching who cares where it comes from as long as it helps others right? So I feel we have the same points really. He is a good member. I just dont have time to speak to everyone. Although im not sure how that correlates to not having the usual people who come here to be here on the weekend. Its like that every weekend it was just a comment really. I believe I have joined you as I am here contributing learning and teaching. I am also a happy toker who happens to like to teach but every teacher is also a student.

That's awesome SmokerJoe! I am sure THEY will come! Nice to have you here with us!
:high-five:
 
So I was in the closet doing some tiedowns and adjusting the height of the lights from the canopy and my makeshift shelf with my new jewelers loupe, the baking soda the scissors the ph calibration my ppm meter the soil meter and a few other items fell on my head. The baking soda mostly missed the plants but a lot did get on the leaves so I washed them off the loupe fell in the nutrient water and ugh. Just thought you could laugh at my expense.
 
The plants are rocking now. Nice healthy leaves have resumed growing at a wonderful rate the plants that almost died are bouncing back nicely with their own new growth. The leaves are a beautiful green again it seems the guano, potash and molasses really helped them. Hope everyone is having a good day
 
I've decided to put certain blog entries in the journals but also in the blog for easy reference so you and I dont have to hunt through what will be tons of journals searching. Im very sure most of what I will post exists already in various forums but I would like it to be in a central location and so I am putting down to blog what I know in case someday it may help someone. Be back in a moment to start need a drink handy.
 
PESTS

Chances are we have all suffered pests and if you havent the chances are even better that you will. I personally have suffered pests in about 40% of my grows and so I will cover some of the pests I have encountered and how I got rid of them. I will also share some remedies for pests that others I know have dealt with and share their remedies. If it becomes a wall of text I will break it into more manageable posts but in the blog it will all be in 1 single post.

The most common and possibly the deadliest pest to not only your garden but to you is humans. The reason I say this is because a bug may kill your plants but they cant throw you in jail put fines on you and genuinely mess up your life. The ideal best policy is to not let anyone you know(off the net) that you grow.If they arent on the lease then they dont need to know. They may be a honest person and cool with it but word will spread and then you are opening yourself for thieves,narcs,cops who will raid you in order to pretend that they matter even if they personally disagree with the drug policy they will tow the line for that government money.
 
Fungus mold and bacteria and their spores will seriously mess up your crop. They will slowly creep without notice and by the time you do notice it may be to late. They are especially devastating in the flowering phase. Ive dealt with mold 1 time but it developed post harvest in the leaves and it was because they werent aired out and there were to much in the container I used to hold them but all in all not a huge loss since I smoke the leaves when the buds get low. I also had fungus 1 time but that was also post harvest in the stem that I left in the dirt after I cut the plant it developed a week or so after harvest because I was busy with the harvest and didnt clean up right away. Now I clean up right away after I hang the plants by the stem. The best way to combat these pests is to try not to let them get a foothold in the firstplace. This involves using clean clippers and containers you use to grow in as well as disinfecting the grow area. Some people even bug bomb prior to planting. Good ventilation in your garden also helps constant circulating air will keep the humidity down. Make sure to clean any old dead leaves out of the garden as those are good food for bugs and molds to set in. Never give them any ground. Leaves hanging down into the soil is a great way to get fungus and necrosis and that is one of the reasons a lot of growers clear the undergrowth to get the air circulating under there. Also reusing your soils is a bad thing. If you use someone elses clones you really should quarantine them from the other plants to make sure you arent inviting a infestation into your garden. Dont wear the clothes you wore outside into your indoor garden as bugs cling onto clothes.
 
Mites are treated like insects but they are actually arachnids and are 8 legged cousins of spiders. Mites live on the bottoms of the leaves they are usually black red or brown. Mites are incredibly tiny and so they usually arent discovered until you see the silk webbing on the leaves. Another way to tell you have mites is blemishes on the leaves which are caused from them sucking the juices from the bottoms of leaves.

Aphids appear on plants because ants actually herd them to your plants. It is a sybiotic relationship in which the ants herd the aphids and as a reward the ants eat the liquid the aphids secrete and that liquid then encourages fungus to grow


Whiteflies are tiny moths (I believe) that are about 1/10th of a inch in size they are white in color. The way you can be certain you have these is because if you shake the plant by the main stem they will start flying about. If you have a vacuum with a hose extension you can shake the plant and suck them out of the air with the hose. It might be tedious but I always prefer harmless methods over potentially poisonous insecticides.


In my experience and I feel in most growers experience fungus gnats are the most common of the pests. I hate these little dudes. They are attracted to soil so Im not sure if hydro growers get them. If you have these it is usually because your soil is to wet and they will burrow into the soil so when you water they will start to fly. You can get rid of these by letting your soil dry and using yellow sticky cards as a perimeter to the grow area. You can also improve air circulation. Ive read about people putting a potatoes on their soil or using a top layer of sand to dry them up. I can't personally attest to these methods but feel free to try them out
