Tip 4: Less is more, less is more, less is more. It’s far easier to add gradually than to try to heal from overdoing it whether it be light, water or nutrients. Granted these are weeds after all and can survive a great deal of mistreatment but don’t expect much in the way of quality or yield if...

Keep in mind if you’re not replacing your soil every round time becomes much less of a concern. Granted, year 1 and 2 require faster break down, but year 3 and forward you are golden if done right. Less is always more and don’t hesitate to rotate. This year might be flower, next might be hot...

Tip 3: What did they say? You need cal-mag? Don’t want to wait two years? Do you happen to have any flour laying around? Guess what, not only does it have calcium and magnesium, it’s chock full of nitrates too and also helps keep some pests at bay. No, don’t put 20% flour in your soil mix...

I probably shouldn’t have specified egg shells as a start, there are many other things I grind or mix as well like raw almonds, yogurt, old cheese etc.

I’m reasonably confident that most in the community share the same sentiments, I also know that for my part I was a youthful idiot that knew everything and immortal too. We’ve made great strides and helped a lot of people sharing knowledge. Best of fortune for your health. Be well.

More on nutes, newbie mistakes etc to come.

Tip #2 Hmmm, I wonder what might be a a good source of calcium or potassium? Well I could go out and spend money on these fancy bottled nutes, or say to myself hey you dumb dumb, don’t egg shells have a lot of calcium, or bananas and banana peels have a lot of potassium? These things aren’t just...

That’s a long story but yes I do have access to land but I’ve been doing this a long time and had the benefit of a grandpa that had an amazing garden since I was small, and he raised chickens etc. and taught me a great deal. I’ve done all of this whether it be an apt, my own house and land or...

I do exactly the same, stream out back and rain collection

Hi, I read a lot online about various growing methods and nutrient regimens and can’t help but notice how expensive it can be to folllow most of the guidance. It would do us all well to look back to the past and gain understanding of how it was done before you had the option of running to the...

I’m not 100% indoor anymore, about 60/40 now :)

As I understand it, the more potent the solvent is the more effective it is at extraction and freezing the material helps reduce the amount of non-beneficial plant material in the finished product. Hence, the reason to perform the wash as quickly as possible as well. However, I personally...
