Slownickel lounge, pull up a chair. CEC interpretation

[Rodehazrd]

What the hell are you talking about you little hobbit. Go back and hide under your hole you pussy. When I was in your face kicking your lame ass off my property, you didn't say a word. Now on line you start talking smack. Pathetic. You stole from me, you stole from your boss before that. YOu have now been fired from three grows in a row. I know what you next move should be........ talk smack online.........lame.



Don't worry, he is just broke and bitter cause he has no grow. I understand, but why he attacks me after running like a scared dog the last time we met is beyond me.

BTW......... He was so scared, his forced his girl to come and pick up the last payment for trimming. Three people trimmed 17 pounds in over a month. Yea, I fired his lazy ass. New trim crew is cheaper per pound, and knocks out about 100 lbs in 3 days. They show up in the AM, leave in the PM, and bring thier own food too.

In case any of you other growers want to get rid of the over deserving, lazy trimmer. Call Emerald Peak. They service from Humboldt to La. Best 75k I spend a year. They bag and tag every pound, and log every gram of trim and sticks. Weigh in's equal weigh outs. All printed up and sent to your email. All ready for taxes for those of us trying to stay legal.


Now back to the SlowN thread.

Thanks for the reply I mostly lurk here and being of simple mind didn't understand the asshat remark.

I have not, although this summer I will be involved in a large scale hemp cultivation operation and would like to take weekly sap tests and correlate them with weekly soil tests.

hope you can share the results i'd like to see that

Rent a miniexcavator lads. Rent it on a Thursday for a 2 day rental. Will take a couple hours to get used to 2 joystick controls. Most companies won’t Charge for weekend days so a 2 day rental is from Thursday to Monday morning pick up. Can have them delivered and picked up for a couple hundred dollars. On top of the digging one can also grade out land. Just an idea...

Arnold, get your post count up to 50 so we can talk.

I need to know what you have on hand and don't want to clutter this place up with our conversation.

 

[plantingplants]

badfishy, i do a one day rental on friday i thought it was just the place i rented from that didn't pick up on weekends and didnt seem to care!

Pretty standard I think

I honestly don't feel like reading 400 pages to learn about calcium and this base saturation CEC thing. Can someone just sum it up into a paragraph and final instructional sentence. Im pretty sure its "add 2 TBL Spoons of dolomite lime per Gallon of soil mix at beginning of every grow, NO MATTER WHAT".

 

[growingcrazy]

Not even close. An entire book wouldn't cover the subject.

Yes you nailed it

 

[h.h.]

All the industry experts came together and wrote a book covering everything that you needed to know about growing marijuana, but it only worked out to one page and it repeated itself a lot..

lol. You really missed the boat with that comment......... Extra Mg?

Yea, all the industry "pro's" I know would write a one page book for sure. I believe the book that SlowN preaches is about 300 pages long, and gold on every page.



You guys should both check out More Food From Soil Science. 1000 bucks says both of your Ca levels are not where Mr. Tiedjens recommends. That is step one. Step two, how to test soil with those levels of Ca. All on page one of this thread. Very important.

Idk there are some good books out there. Brady abs Weil have a dope book. If you're willing to drop 300$.

Weil is not very good at all. He was my professor. He doesn't even believe in base distributions though he has it in his book. One of the best books out there is from Tiedjens. More Food from Soil Science.

Are you serious? That's hilarious cause that book goes thoroughly into base calculations and has the math spot on to adjust it. Same methodology as you. Also reading that first was definitely a good prerequisite to Tiedjens, but Tiedjens is more case study driven and more limited in its scope. Also has less morphology and taxonomy info.

But where did you go to school that Weil was your professor? What was his reasoning about base distributions?

Ray Weil believed in massive flow and uptake models, the same stuff spit out by the K and P Institute. Weil took over the rights to the Brady textbook, which we all used. Brady gave a bit of time to everything he could trying to get a good basic coverage to everything. Weil didn't rewrite the book when he took it over, he just keeps updating it, that's all.

It is important to have the basics, to read all of Albrecht (especially after he retired), Tiedjens and many others actually. Otherwise one gets pulled too much in one direction. Many times soil types aren't take into consideration, only the prevailing situation were that person happened to be working.

Look at his time line. Weil was an Ecologist professor type. Never grew anything. I was a constant pain in the ass to him. haha.

Dolomite Lime has 22% calcium and 12% magnesium. So Im covered right?

 

[PaulieWaulie]

Yes you nailed it

Perfect. Wait your not being sarcastic right?

Luv Kanucks!

Was just half messing with all you oldtimers really ;P

Just wanted to sub to this thread and figured Id get yall going a bit.

But for fun would be nice to one sentence summarize the discussion into what needs to be done with all the information in this thread.

You see, as a noob, I spent way too much time on my plants and get way to crappy results, so Im trying to take some advice which is don't over complicate this shit. And It seems like a 400 page thread on calcium seems too deep for me to need to get into in order to just get healthy plants and good growth. I don't know if calcium is my problem, but I will do a side by side and post results soon.

Much respect Slow nickel.

So you went to University of Maryland. That''s awesome did you deal with Penn state people at all
