I like comfrey and make sure to use it at least once a cycle. If I were more diligent it would be after topdressing following harvest and then once more about halfway through the grow. Stinging nettle is one I haven't done, but only because I haven't found any growing yet. This year I'm thinking of buying some dried if I don't find wild. You can't beat stinging nettle.

Comfrey, dandelion, burdock, yarrow, and stinging nettle if you can get it are excellent additions to your soil. Kelp, aloe, alfalfa, malted barley grain, coconut water..... The possibilities are endless. My personal top choices are malted barley grain, aloe, comfrey.

To be honest, comfrey would be the one I would choose above all the others. Stinging nettle would be a very close second.

I'm contemplating the burdock and yarrow....I don't think they will make it in the soil the first go around but I'd like to try my hand at them. They're amazing useful plants from more than just a growers perspective.

Its good to know you liked comfrey. I'm ordering the root cuttings from Horizon...can't wait to get it in the ground. :)

A wonderful plant to grow CC. I miss our specimen. I still sneak down to raid the one I planted next to the apartment my brother used to live at. It was around the corner from our mother's apartment and mother didn't have anywhere to plant one, so we put it there. I may take a spade down one day this spring and slice off a section to go in the community garden down the street. They already have many yarrow plants going. I'm thinking they also need some mints, some borage, maybe some chamomile...... I can't join this year. Next year Dale will be mobile again.

Consider borage. I may plant one in a pot with cannabis when I expand. They are incredibly beneficial companion plants for all other plant species. Just like yarrow.

Yes they do. Borage honey is delicious, or so I hear. Haven't been lucky enough to try myself. Bees deserve quality food sources too.

That Easter Bunny was a thoughtful one. Chocolate eggs for a woman under stress. What a smart bunny. :circle-of-love:

I have the first joint I ever rolled - over 30 years ago.

Get out Rad! What are you planning on doing with it. Have it bronzed? I smoked the hell out of the first joint I rolled. :laughtwo:

Didn't even get high until my 22nd birthday when two buddies discovered I'd never indulged. I was just thinking about that this morning. :laughtwo: They made a crude bong with an apple and got me completely wasted. I was most impressed that neither took advantage of me. So impressed I moved the cuter one in with me for six months! Ha! Crazy times.

What event are you saving this joint for Rad, if I may be so bold?

I figured if I ever opened a marijuana related business, I could hang it on the wall.
Lots of businesses frame "My First Dollar." It's in a clear plastic tube already :)


That smoke buddy of yours knew how to play the long game, didn't he ? :;):

Dutty's phone died, but he will be back with another big post I'm sure.

Remember, we are all opinionated and vocal with what we believe in. Sue has graciously let us use her thread as an open forum. No need to get angry or upset or anything, just grown adults having a respectful conversation.

It's the Internet, things can be taken different than they were meant easily.

It's interesting to watch cannabis users argue... it kind of deflates the stoner myths.

We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this sue

They just got jaded once there lifes had been spiraled out of control they all paid a price none of you can contemplate I believe. Yes now there cogs in a marketing machine.

Co your statements deserve no praise I find them rude

You have done zero for the industry as a whole THEY PAID THERE DUES people
Click to expand...

With respect to you, Dutty. There is a reason why it doesn't make sense to "agree to disagree."

And don't mistake me, I have respect for you. You are experimenting, studying and applying your knowledge scientifically. I totally respect science.

The problem with scientific inquiry is that it develops an excellent view of whatever it chooses to study, in isolation from whatever it didn't choose to study.

Your excellent growing methods and results are firmly within the top tier of the agricultural revolution solution to raising plants. Inputs are piped in from mining operations, power generation locations, chemical and materials manufacturing facilities, and waste is shipped out to remote locations.

On your grow room floor, science says you are doing a superb job, and you are! Kudos to you and I also have respect for Jorge Cervantes, Shantibaba, Jack Herrer and others who have sacrificed so much more than I still ever be called upon to sacrifice.

BUT (you knew there was a but)

From the hippy side of life, you are just another farmer destroying the planet. And science from a world view, a view of the sustainability of human civilization, says that the modem agricultural revolution is destructive. The standard model of food production in this century is making the planet unlivable in centuries to come.

I am part of this, we all are part of this. I grow with electric lights, plastic pots... but if I agree to disagree I am ignoring our impact on the planet and the lives of our children and grandchildren.

This realization that our civilization is in collapse, that the climate is permanently changing, that the west coast of the USA is falling into desertification, that Florida and Louisiana and many coasts are going underwater is pretty important stuff.

In my opinion, 30% better yield is not worth the destruction of arable land in Canada or Colorado or Brazil. And the funny thing is, when farmers have followed nature, they usually find that nature did as better job than they expected, sometimes better than all their efforts. IMO, when you count the collateral damage of modern farming, it's as destructive as war.

This is the statement that set me off

COME THE FUCK ON

seriously is my 15 yr old nephew growing now. I do respect your methods I love all true natural approaches unlike most of you 36gr0w and massmedman know who I really am and what I do. I joined to help people not be bought or sell a product or feed false info. I thought I was being forced into well out of the industry well things have changed I still have ZERO sponsors and would except none and truly I pay my way and all my experiments as well as others I help. Some on this thread have seen how generous I can be.

That post CO is disrespectful open forums like this and the ability for a lot of people to even contemplate growing would not be possible without there literature period whether you follow there method or not its not garbage. I think that's ignorance and liberal left wing roots showing

Totally agree. I reported that post to the mods - but it's not left wing :)

And that approach to the point when things escalated is what I am still learning to do. Thank you for these posts Rad. Every band of travelers needs an articulate word wizard among them. It's nice that ours is of the hippy persuasion and has a wicked sense of humor.

Please pass a message from me to the wife - "He's a keeper." I'm aware she's already figured that out. :laughtwo::green_heart:
 
Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -

A lot happened here yesterday and it's interesting to read. I enjoy a good discussion, and since I'm not looking to join a cult anytime soon, I enjoy differences of opinion. Only thing I want to go on the record about is first my respect for Dutty Panty. What he's done not only for me, but for countless growers here. And, who knows, twenty years from now Dutty, Doc Bud, COfinest,,, Sue,, or a few other talented people here might be the next Cervantes, or Rosenthal.

I'd be pissed, if some new growers, did not respect what they have done, the path they charted, time served, and knowledge passed down.

I have a huge amount of respect for anyone who's lead the charge. Even if a few might be owned by a sponsorship. I think they have done far more, and given way more, then they ever took.

Much props and respect to those who came before me, and I hope one day I can have your back if need be. :thanks:

Daily Update: Dark Devil Auto -Day 15

She's growing guys. I can see it. She's determined to be a slow starter isn't she?

image22740.jpg


image22741.jpg


I make no apologies about being absolutely mesmerized by her, even at this early stage. I could have taken pictures from all four sides when I began giving her the 1/4 turn today. Actually, I made that a 3/4 turn I believe, since my negligence has caused her to lean to the middle in search of the light. Wake up girl! The plant doesn't ask for much.

I promise to be more consistent with the turn.

I'm watching her slow start thinking how interesting it will be to compare the difference when I start in cups. The more I think about it the more the tiering makes sense. Makes me wish I'd planted this one a bit more off to the side.

Supplies are being shipped and should start arriving tomorrow. Something is waiting at the post office, but they're closed today. That's OK. Dale started vomiting again so we're back to square one.

Be joyful today guys. Life is easier that way.

:Namaste:

I understand the mesmerising part, I find it hard to pull myself away sometimes, and as for being joyful, I completely agree. Life should be one long happy adventure, with a few surprises thrown in to keep us on our toes

Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -

Mornin Sweetsue....sorry to hear Dale's not good today. My thoughts are with you and him....stay strong.. "never quit".."never out of the fight". Try and have an OK day girl.later...cheers....Duggs.:green_heart:
 
Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -

Love you tons Sweety! Sending all my best to you guys!

Your girl looks beautiful and very healthy. She has so much going on at this early stage that there is no reason to apologize for being mezmorized by her. Haha. In fact, that's half the therapy that this beautiful hobby privides for us. It's an incredible transformation that all the science in the world couldn't satisfy my need to "stare" and see it happen for myself.

As for the "debate". It's beautiful that we are all so passionate about our cause. Better yet,it's inspiring to see that there are so many ways to articulate and express our true believes. But let's not forget that we are all here for the same bottom line reason. To grow cannabis and spread awareness for legalization. How we go about accomplishing that task is specific to each and everyone of us. So, let's welcome great discussion! However, what shouldn't be tolerated is the slander or attack of another persons character. We are all beautiful and worthy of our own opinions. That doesn't make anyone less of a person or deserving of any hatred. Let's keep the peace and enjoy passionate discussion/argument :)

Love you all! And I stand by MedMan when he says each of you that are involved in this thread have help guide me and many others to where we are today. So no matter your opinions your all crusaders of the next generation and I'm proud to be apart of it.

:Namaste::peace::green_heart:

It's my journal, so let me toss my two cents worth in.

I'm always reminded that just because we can do a thing doesn't mean we should. If we can break the dependence on chemical replacements for tiny earthlings and the exquisite service they provide so willingly then I for one am willing to make that adjustment to organic growing. If I can craft a custom organic soil, plant my seed, water and love through to harvest, and I'm satisfied with the yield, potency and effectiveness of my harvest, is it really necessary to stress the plant or the soil with synthetics? It's a simple choice for me. I didn't want to grow my meds with anything that required me to flush the life out of the soil to remove the chemicals I added. I knew the chemicals weren't necessary to get me what I needed from the plant. I suspect they aren't necessary at all. Period.

We once had plastics developed from cannabis. Strong, adaptable and biodegradable. Through some clever market and political manipulation we ended up with a skim of plastic under the surface of our oceans that threatens the very existence of our planet. We're a weird species. It all has to be about us.

It's a personal perspective and a personal choice. I would rather wow you over with my results than browbeat you or argue with you. Kinda what these joy-filled journals are designed to do.

:Namaste:
