Hi Mort. as you can see I did what Emilia mentioned with the link. You can also make it a favorite and call it up when you like. I did that but the link is more helpful I think. I'm a year back from 30 years off as well. Had a public transportation job with drug testing. It's good to be back! It's good to see you here too!
Cheers man its not just soaking some seeds you saved from weed you bought putting it
Haha things are different now. I look at every seed and see $2400.00 usd. I don't sell it at all but save that from the dispensary. That's potential too I seldom get 6 oz from them but sometimes and it's a goal to beat.
Cheers man and when up or down ph what do you use
Hydro organics Double up and Down. Sometimes lemon juice for ph down.
You are very welcome! Have a great grow!
Great read Emilya thanks heaps I'm trying a no-till soil and the way i see it is more of a living soil and was wondering would this(watering/up potting) still apply with this soil I've been told it's the best way to start easier any advice please
Absolutely it applies Mort... think of no till as just another container of soil, complete with a rhizosphere ready to go. Once you merge that soil with the soil of your transplanted plant, you have a living container of soil.
And can the soil be reused i also got a bag of canna pro blend and can i start seedling in both of these i got both just in case my thinking was to try both and see whats best
Some soil can be used over and over again simply by adding back some supplements. Other soil, usually those with high peat or spagnum content will have problems after a few uses because the peat and moss will break down rapidly and drive the soil acidic. At some point these soils need a very thorough flushing to get all of that debris out of there, or a return trip through a compost pile for a month or so. You can't just reuse soil over and over again without also doing some work to it.
Love it that you are quoting my bit on nutes in your signature... thank you! Almost every soil nutrient line follows this water/nutes/water/nutes strategy. The reason is that soil acts as a buffer and holds the nutes that were not able to be taken up by the plant. When you water the next time with just pH adjusted water, it gives those collected nutes a second chance to become mobile and be able to be used by the plant and it cleans out the soil for the next round.
