well heres a pic of the tea now, the weather has been kind of wet, rainy, and cold so the teas never brew up as good because i brew it in a shed with a leaky roof. still works just as good!

 

[konstantgrdnr]

JayKush is the Man,

Thanks for all the info in the thread. I'm pretty sure you can use an aquarium heater to stabilize the temps, in your brew.


Good link, to different recipes used

[jaykush]

no problem konstantgrdnr, this is how i learned for the most part. i dont really care to add a heater, its not much of an issue to me unless its REALLY cold outside.


heres the index so you know whats in the link posted above people.
thanks to konstantgrdnr for posting it.

Hey Smurf, sorry I forgot you last night but I'm kind of stressed out now.

Guys looks like I have some reading to do when I get back full time. Some killer info going down.

Jaykush, I wasn't dissing your grandmas, matter of fact I use it from time to time. BTW, grreat posts you have been having JK.



I will be back in a few days. I had to disassemble my computer for now. I have to borrow time on a friends now.



And I would like to say High to all the new members of the OFC.

Take care, V

[NuggyBuds]

Hey guys, I've been a voyuer in this thread for some time...
I've got some info you guys might find usefull. I have some pumpkin I didn't carve up this halloween and I thought I shouldn't let them go to waste so I looked up what the nutrient composition of pumpkin might be.

I found This interesting chart.

It seems that cooked pumpkin flesh is a great source of potassium... Hello flower fert...

Also the seeds
Nutritional and oil characteristics of pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) seed kernels

Pumpkin seeds contain 405.03 mg of phosphorus per 1/4 cup... bonus!
magnesium and manganees too.

Pumpkin seed kernel contained considerable amounts of minerals, especially P, Mg, and K.

Keep growing boys and girls...

 

[Smurf]

v, stop stressing mate....... yeh I know it's more easily said than done, just concentrate on your priorities .......... ok.

Hey you guys, I've been reading about how you can boost auxins with Vit B, and then remembered about Vegemite....... world's highest known source of Vit B (edible food), then found an mj book that describes using it! I'll get my shit together!

Nuggybuds........ so you like to perv........ there's not much to look at here, but the info is 2nd to none!
I've got access to stacks of fresh pumpkin, might try a 1/2 cup brew.

What's this new camera Jay?

 

[Suby]

B1 is BS

Smurf 10 lashes for using the word "Vitamin B"
Then drop and give me 20 hehehe.

[Suby]

J that's a fine looking nug what strain is that?

Good link Nugs, I have an uncarved one still sitting outside.

 

[jaykush]

smurf: got myself a canon rebel xti, there was sales everywhere for this cam. thought id pick one up. soon ill be buying the nicest macro lens show you guys whats up.

suby: my all time favorite. the purple kush

 

[Smurf]

That was too easy Suby. LOL hehehehehehehe........ I'm surprised it took so long for a bite!

 

[Relik]

Concerning the use of pumpkin: it seems that the whole Cucurbitaceae (sp?) family is more or less rich in K. A couple of weeks ago I threw lots of cucumber skins in my compost, as it contains lots of P and K. I had also thought of breaking down cucumbers to ashes in order to have a water soluble source of P and K but sometimes I'm a lazy ass... plus, I still have lots of those fruit ashes, I usually just throw a small handful in my tea.

Well I used to, because my airpump is still broken. Tried to fix it using parts from another airpump, it worked but there was a leak. Damn.

I don't know much about B1 but when foliar feeding I include Aloe vera in my mix. It contains the following:

*Vitamins: A, B1 wink, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, E, F, folic acid, choline.
*Essential amino-acids: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine.
*Secondary amino-acids: aspartic acid (isn't that vitamin C?), glutamic acid, alanine, arginine, cystine, glycine, histidine, hydroxyproline, proline, serine, tyrosin.
*Enzymes: phophatase, amylase, lipase, catalase, creatine phosphokinase, nucelotidase, cellulase, alkaline, proteolytase.
*Fatty acids: all unsaturated fatty acids, caprylic acid.

This makes Aloe vera a gold mine to my red eyes. I usually chop a leaf from a mature plant, they're usually a little less than a foot long. I peel out the leaf (watch out, it's a messy and sticky job) and get the inside gel (not the yellow stinking latex, which is between the skin and the gel) and throw it in the blender with a tiny bit of water, then liquify it. I add this for every 1-2 liter(s) of water, usually with a bit of fish emulsion and kelp. Works great!
