Greetings everyone :wave:

I have recently made the switch from pre-fertilized compost (Miracle Gro) to an organic medium. In my opinion, MG is not bad soil. Just tough to flush all the chemicals out and get a decent end product.

So I finally got off my ass and got organic goodies. The soil mix I am using is:
60% Potting Soil (FFOF)
20% Earthworm Castings
20% Perlite
Dolomite Lime @ 2 tbs per gallon

All this hype about organics got me excited so I decided I'm gonna make a thread for this round.

I will be growing these bagseeds that I've had for a couple years. Got a good bag of weed and kept all the seeds. They made for a good smoke when grown in the MG, now lets make it a great smoke with organic medium!

Also I grow 12/12 from seed due to height restrictions. 400 watt hps.

Enough chit-chat where's the pics?!

Here they are at 8 days


And here they are at 14 days


From here on out I will just be giving them water unless I see some yellowing.

Here's the fert I bought



Pull up a chair everyone, this looks promising:joint:

Hey Meaty M8...about bloody time....:jump:

Ha ha..I've pulled up a chair and put my slippers on..I'm in for the Long Haul.

I had to nip up to the top of the thread to see where you had posted..or I would never find me way back...

For 14 days they are looking very nice girls.
I Love a bit bag seed every now and then..gives you something to look forward to trying to figure out what you have.

I'm putting my Euro's worth in now...
I'm saying that you are gonna get Much better growth on these than you ever had
with MG.
If I am Wrong..I'll chuck that Euro into the first charity box I see...
You on...?

Thanks for stopping by guys! I know what to expect out of these seeds, nice nuggets with a big donkey dick at the top. We shall see what I get though.


Here's a pic of the last run, same seeds, but with MG

KISS at its finest! Really like the simplicity and ratios of your grow medium. Excellent choice of ferts. Don't think you'll have any problems, judging by your MG results.

I like to add a tsp of molasses/gal of water when I feed with AK fish 5-1-1 and 1-0-4 kelp concentrate which is similar to your Neptunes Harvest. Not only does it reduce the fish smell, it excites the microbes in the EWC I added to my Ocean Forest + perlite.

Gonna use some of your extra EWC for an occasional shot of EWC tea, or better yet, foliar spray? Maybe once or twice in the first month. Would also work well with your Neptune Harvest feeding. Just a thought....

Looking forward to following your grow to successful completion. For only 5 ingredients, you've sure got the bases covered. And talk about simple...LOL

What's the pH of your tapwater? If it's above 8, I have a suggestion. IME, pH is no biggie in organics. (Except the oyster shell in the fresh OF + DL + excessive Ca in your tapwater when plain watering, but not feeding with Neptunes pH down effect, caught my attention.)

I don't think it will be a problem, just a place to look first if things start to get weird down the road. I noticed the excess Ca in your Lime Thread. As you know, dolomite is ~20% Ca & 10% Mg. That's what you put in your OF mix...?

Goodluck on the grow meaty.
Im growing a bagseed myself, only one, so fingers crossed. The bag I took it out of was mostly seedless, with one seed embedded in a giant frosty bud. I'm hoping its a hermi(fem) seed.

I've been using cocopeat for a while. its great, no defficiency problems at all, and the plant is growing like hell. I just found soil to be not worth the trouble. I'm keeping it simple and hand watering like one would do with soil. Using MG tomato ferts. Plant seems to love it.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm watering with bottled water (yes I spoil these ones like Paris Hilton spoils her chiwawa) So my guess is ~7 pH. I am not that worried about it though as they seem to be enjoying it.

Cheers cyber! Fingers crossed on your baby. Just be careful with the MG tomato ferts. Low doses. And make sure you flush for at least 2 weeks with it. Otherwise you're gonna get the bud that snaps crackles and pops when ya smoke it :biglaugh:



On a side note, one of the plants is definitely a male :wallbash:

Lets pray that the other will be female :grouphug:

I wish I was in a medical friendly area where I could get some cuts:chin:
