include the right minerals in that compost and you've got something special.

Not making my own compost yet doc. The tumbler just works really well for mixing soil kind of a manual cement mixer. Eventually I'd love to make my own compost to help reduce household waste. I'm really interested in the worm farms I've seen online but not sure the wife would like that lol.

I use a cement mixer for my soil. It's a huge labor saver when I don't have young nymphs in bikini's around to mix the soil by hand.

Like the idea of a cement mixer...(like the idea of the nymphs, also!) :icon_cool
Doc...when you mix up the soil in the mixer, do you then move the soil to the plastic cans and add the water at that time or do you add the water while it's still churning in the mixer?
If you do add everything into the mixer first, then do you do a good cleaning of the mixer after every use?

In that case I give them their choice, mixer or speedo? If they choose speedo, something has gone horribly wrong and IPM kicks in.

I dry mix in the mixer, and add worm castings at the very end, empty into plastic cans and then add water.

This single pure sativa was accidentally drenched with 1/2oz of transplant twice, 1/2oz of energy twice, and got a cationic drench (two doses in a row) during week 14 of flowering, as well as during week 8 per the directions. Bottom line, abused, overfed. I'm in a 5g smartpot, looking at probably 3oz of yield once I crop. Feeding straight water right now, any recommendations? I'm just looking for a bit more senescence before I chop, is that the wrong mindset?

Well, it got pretty salty and crispy...too bad about the accidental overfeeding.
I'd let it go as long as you can and flush the crap out of it for a week. I think you might be surprised with the product.

Okay, so I'll just let it flush for the next week or so. Today is day 146 since the flip, 167 since germ, so it's fairly long in the tooth anyway.

I'm amazed it went as far as it did in a 5 gallon pot. I'd like a 25 gallon pot for a plant that size.
I've had my ass handed to me by a Colombian Sativa that looked a lot like that. It won. No mas....no mas.
May I suggest an 8-10 week strain next time?
Doc, A few questions please.
Do you top, trim or fim your girls?
Have you ever used Spin Out?
When should one flip to 12/12? When pots are rootbound?
Should we transplant, cut bounded roots at 90 degrees from small pot, dust with Roots, etc from the 1-3 gal, to final flowering pot 5, 7 or even 10 gal before we flip to 12/12, just as we flip or after we flip?
Thank you!

I gave my girl 1 week after transplant before flipping to get settled in but i was using glr so it wasnt a real shock to her.
Hope thats a lil help
Doc,
are you referring to adding some 6/5/3 mineral mix?
and add it during the composting for the critters to start munching on, or adding it when mixing the compost with some soil?

If you had no other choice you could add the 6/5/3....but I'd get it tested and go from there.
