And one more thing - no one here has to worry about digging through zen snark to get an answer any more. The days of being berated for asking a question here are done. Regardless of who is posting, or if it's a regular, or the next big time dealer.

Xmobotx yes, a botanical tea i gathered after a magical walk around the block. figured, a few flowers will not be missed too much eh?
it starts to smell around 40 hours. not one i would like a sip of. I can only imagine how much more useful it would be with a splash of beneficials at the start of the "brew"
MrSterling thanks for updating us about that. Maybe they will create a new user name and be welcomed back sooner than expected?

Initial effects after dry are speedy and buckle your seat worthy. More like the pure green haze effect from this line (IMO). Like a pure caffeine IV drip. This particular plant was mold prone, unfortunately. Not a keeper, but wow - effect.

OK, my amended soil mix (following FunTimesIndeeds thread) has been sitting for close to 8 weeks. I've soaked it down a couple times with an ACT and am hoping to use it soon. Is 8 weeks sufficient, or should I give it a while longer?
Once I've put some cuts in it, my plan is as follows:
I typically water/feed 3 times a week. For the duration of vegative growth, and the first couple weeks of flower I'm planning on using a coconut/aloe diluted mix once a week (1/2 cup of each per gallon?), an ACT (following Microbeman's and CT Guy's lead) once a week, and a molasses Pro-Tekt mix once a week.
Once budsites start to form I'm going to switch gears and cut out the ACT's and introduce some FPE's. I purchased some Comfrey seeds but those will obviously take some time before they are viable, so I'm a little uncertain on what I should be using during flower. I'm thinking the Protekt and molasses will have some usefulness throughout, not so sure on the coconut water and aloe though.....
Any thoughts on this?
As always, any feedback is appreciated. I'm sure you guys get sick of fielding these questions, but I do my best to research first before asking.

one thing comes to mind: don't plant those comfrey seeds. the recommended variety is bocking, which does not set (fertile) seed... if you are planting comfrey seed, it will take over your garden space, considered quite the nuisance

MrSterling
Woop is right. Borage is a better option from seed. You'll want the Bocking19 cultivar for Comfrey. Available in multiple root amounts from horizon herbs. As for the soil 8 weeks should be fine. If you wanna be sure go to the garden center and get a marigold or other sacrifice to cheaply test.
when people become too highly focused relativity and context become askew couple that with the psychology prohibition elicits. the effects of mind altering drugs and the fact that many of us have medicinal needs in the first place (physical and MENTAL disorders) abound and you get some serious pot drama
bear in mind that you will have a lot of nutrients in your soil from following these soil recipes ~1 good way to see if your mix is ready is to plant a test crop {clover can be a good choice ~you can just leave it as a living mulch}
i have done water only w/ micro-amending for fine results
i only use molasses for my compost tea and pro-tekt can be over-done ~it would seem since they both have K there's some risk of that
your coconut water, aloe, ACT plans will be just fine ~in fact; strategies to get living enzymes in there and get the biology going will be rewarded ~another fine choice is the barley sprout rinse

It always cracks me up a little...a site full of fuckin outlaws and it expects us to read the rules...right.
We are all outlaws in some form or another Sam. You are correct there. Or we would not be on an anonymous forum posting pictures of an illegal plant. We all grow sell and consume and illegal plant. That makes us outlaws. But I look at it as going to a friends house. I respect his living style.....or TOU whether or not I agree with it. If I were going to one of the banned members houses I would show them respect.
There are forum rules or TOU at all sites......everyone. If a member goes there and violates those rules he\she will be banned. It has happened to me also.
What happened was blow out of proportion.

canna woop and MrSterling ... thanks for the heads up!
The variety I bought is described as "Comfrey, True (Symphytum officinalis) Family: Borage (Boraginacea) Herbaceous perennial native to Europe" on the website I purchased them from.
I will look in to the site you recommended and pick up the correct variety.

I've seen you, Cootz and others discussing the merits of buying a cheap plant (or using a cover crop) to test the soil mix with. That's really sound advice. I'll give that a whirl before putting cuts in.
The barley sprout rinse... another great tip! I have noticed that being used by a lot of you guys. I'm going to have to do more reading on here about that.
This is some really great info. I haven't even thrown a cut in my mix yet and I already feel that this is a more rewarding experience than measuring out crap from a bottle.
Thank you kindly!
There is a strange phenomenon that happens when you grow during prohibition, we work against the laws of society to find our own personal balance and in doing so tend to condemn the society from which the laws are born.
this is the root of the them versus us spirit that us prohibition growers harbor, and frankly it is a self limiting mantra, both on a personal level and to the community as a whole
marijuana is amazing because it can be used as a drug or a medicine, that is it can simply eliminate a symptom and it can heal the problem as well
you can use marijuana to mute neurological pain but it also rebuilds neuro pathways in the brain
if we are really taking our relationship with pot full circle we evolve from using it as a drug to learning to use it as a medicine and heal in all regards so that we might live our lives to the fullest potential and nothing less
our fullest potentials are intrinsically tied to the world around us and all the beings within it
its funny as great as I can grow a plant and enjoy it on my own, boy does it ever complete me as a person to see someone else feel the same way
I know im not alone here, so think about it and think about how the reflection of the good you do in others makes you feel and how doing anything less than sharing it is living to your full potential

Hmm, had my 2 cents with Mr. S. I'll be interested seeing where this thing goes, all the while doing it ROLS style.
idk; maybe i should try something thats a nutrient tea too/never have really
i always just do a handful of compost and a TBS or so of molasses and bubble anywhere from the 1st to 2nd day i start using it and around day 3 i use the rest outside in the veggie garden
i dont do anything different for the lead up to chop ~sometimes i'll water and everything and then be like, 'oh i guess i was gonna chop that 1'

I'm big on the molasses, and if I had some of that 200x aloe powder I'd be more willing to use that every time as well. I've been meaning to try Von's suggestion of yucca powder as a surfactant instead.
Humble, glad to have you on board! I don't forsee much changing here except maybe more openness. I'm a "ROLS" guy as well, but I'm willing to understand why people still use tools like pH meters or give BRIX testing a go. Faces always change around here and I'm sure we'll see some old friendly ones pop back in soon enough.
