Are we just second class citizens or what? No but seriously - I would think that at least one person has a copy of some old info from the 3LB's or possibly some other pertinent organic grow info that would be important for all organic growers to read. Or is it just because we have no mod in this forum, and the posts are left to fend for themselves? Whoops - just noticed that LC is the mod for this forum, so maybe he's just too busy,
whatever the reason - I, speaking only for myself here, would like to possibly see a couple of stickies in this forum, because I know for a fact that there is some information out there that applies to all of us organic soil growers.
for example - many organic nutes are seriously lacking in calcium, but nothing is posted warning us to supplement calcium. Earth Juice microblast for example
Earth Juice Microblast

Earth Juice Microblast is a proprietary liquid micronutrient formula to be used to prevent and correct micronutrient deficiencies. Contains Magnesium 0.50%; Boron 0.02%; Cobalt 0.0005%; Iron 0.10%; Manganese 0.05%; Molybdenum 0.0005%; and Zinc 0.05% in an organic base. Naturally buffered for assured plant absorption. May be watered in or used as a foliage spray. Use 2 tsp. Earth Juice Microblast / gallon of water.

Ingredients: Kelp meal, magnesium sulfate, borax, cobalt sulfate, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, sodium molybdate and zinc sulfate.

NO calcium.


so - Mods - help us out here, how would a bunch of "dirty" hippies go about getting the good stuff stickied?

Pactivist,

We'll get something started when the time comes...I've been off the computer since march with computer problems....So, I can't sign in under LavenderCowboy and that's where my modship is....op is working on it as we speak....

However, I'll take the opprotunity to say something about "stickies"....If my modship is returned, I'll only stick threads that's benificial to the "whole" community, not just a couple of people....So, dig in and when things get right, I'll have a look at the request of the Organic community.....LC
 
Well the beauty of CW is that they allowed you to print out entire threads easily, which means it was exceptionally easy to 'backup' the old fashion way, by printing it out.

It's was a fun thread sure, but ultimately I'm not sure anything about it was cutting edge just more of a master at work using many well known principles. I'm just saying I don't know that there is much orginal information there that isn't being recreated already in the organics forum. Use tubs, recycle dirt, I think the majority of the content of that thread is 3LB's complex nutrient scheme since they take you through it almost day by day. It's a nice way to grow, but personally I can't get past the containers being so heavy and I just don't feel like making carts for my planters. Plus no drainage is always going to be a bit more dangerous than having drainage IMO. For 3LB it didn't matter because they were the master of their grow style and were basically programmed with the knowledge of when exactly to water with their size containers.

I have the thread printed out in it's entirety. Is there any info you need specifically I might remember it or be able to find it for you.

I think what we really need is more people like 3LB not so much his thread. I though I saw the thread reproduced on someone site, but I don't remember for sure.

I think the more important info is stuff like the long list of people different organic suppliment mixes. 3Lb's day by day grow thread was awesome, but there is no real reason it can't be recreated. They were using Earth Juice so technically it does get a little bit more hardcore organic than using premixed stuff as a base, but it's a smart way to do things for the sake of simplicity and avoiding nutrient deficiencies.

On CW it was exceptionally easy to save entire threads when using the print fucntion though I thnk you lose some or all of the pics. All the forums should update their print functions.

If you do a google search for '3LB marijuana cultivation' it will lead you through a scattered collection of .. stuff.

Two more 3lb articles here

If I could remember what the BIG thread was called I could probably find it. Right now I can't go look.

reefermanseeds.com also has a forum with significant 3lb content

For now, why not just keep the beneficial pages that you reference saved on your computer, that's what I do, Notepad, offline availability, etc.

I could print out a book with the info I've copied and saved from this website.

good thing I'm not an evil corporate whore type, I could be writing a book on growing, and credit it all to me...hahaha!!

Luckily for the community, I care more about cannabis than I do fame or money..............I should shut up now before I give some punk kids the wrong idea.

Whoa, let's keep calm, help is on the way.

Trust me when I say my FRIEND LC has already expressed concern and interest in the situation so let's hold tight and give him the time he needs and the welcome he deserves.

There are a few threads I think will make for good stickies, we can have a look together as a community and as a forum and as we are all friends and growers here that should go smoothly and in order.

on a side note

WELCOME BACK LC!!!

jayk, is right. We have all put alot of time into the OFC. We had no stickies so we all talked Suby into coming up with something. OFC was the result. It covers all basic organic materials and is useful to all organic growers.

Welcome back LC.

Nice to see LC posting again - even if his mod abilities are down. Thanks to all for the responses. I agree with LC wholeheartedly, stickies should be something that is important to everyone in the organic community. A good sticky for this forum would be "calcium supplementation in organics" would have saved me a bit of time, and would help many other organic growers realize that calcium is absent in most organic nutes. possibly because of hard water, but for those of us with good water calcium supplements are a necessity. hell i thought i had a mag. def. for almost a year, turned out it was calcium. Just things like that would help. i think.
just my thoughts,

Agreed Pac

PS my simple solution to calcium is dolomite lime, it provides both cal and mag and is the "secret" to a decent organic grow.

Peace
