Yeah I enjoy making rosin..

We have a 10 ton press with 3x7inch dab press plates.. it’s good to press 1/2 oz runs, I wish we would have went bigger but the 10 ton setup was already pricey.

Out of curiosity, how long have you been growing for?

[HippyFarmer420]

Most bone meal fertilizers have an NPK ratio around 3:15:0… Blood Meal is around 10-0-0,

From what I’ve read “unless I missed something’,  you have your plants in Pro Mix with bone meal and that’s it, during veg.. If this is not addressed soon, I will feel sorry for these plants..

Organics also take time to break down, your soil should have been pre mixed and ready before planting into it..

 

[HippyFarmer420]

Also you don’t need to add dolomite lime to a fresh batch of Pro Mix, the only time you should be adding this is if you are mixing up a shit ton of soil “more then you are” or if you are reusing the same soil, Pro Mix usually has dolomite in it.

Also bone meal isn’t for veg state, you need Blood Meal..

Id suggest either researching soil mixes or go with a pre made fertilizer program..

Jack’s, Down To Earth, Gaia Green, ect, or you can make your own style super soil, but Pro Mix and some bone meal isn’t going to cut it..

[HippyFarmer420]

Maybe get a tarp to lay on the floor, this would help with wood damage, rots, molds ect.

[HippyFarmer420]

There are things that need to be addressed here..

1st, you should cover up that floor or add some saucers under your pots, as is you have fabric pots sitting on what looks like old plywood, this is asking for problems..

Second of all what nutrients are you using.. It sounds like you are trying to go organic but didn’t fully pull the trigger here..

Also why are you adjusting your ph if you are trying to go organic? Good organic soil will do all this for you..

90%+ of this is going to extract, we will be making rosin and bubble hash soon.

Still drying, I had to turn my grow room into an emergency dry room “I ended up with too much outdoor this year”.

I also have HVAC people coming in next week, I am adding a new central heat and air unit to the rooms this year..

I am looking at a mini split system so I can fully control the grow rooms, I will know more on this next week..

In the mean time it’s back to trim prison we go..  I can’t wait to have all this done!

[HippyFarmer420]

Why are my pics upside down and sometimes sideways.. wtf

[HippyFarmer420]

This plant did not get the memo that she is in Canada in the middle of October and not Hawaii.

Future tip to myself.. NEVER RUN DIRTY DANCING OUTDOORS AGAIN!

Pray she makes it up here in the arctic!

Indoor this next year I will be starting a lot of things earlier for the spring crops, I did not have my outdoor garden done for the spring, I had too much going on last spring..

 

Indoors I am working on setting up a veggie room for my outdoor garden beds..

 

I will have thousands of seedlings in this room..  Goal is to fill up as much as I can and start to hit up Farmer’s Markets, sell some cuttings and eventually fruits and veggies..

The more I try to invest in my garden setup, the more the ole wife bitches so I will have to piece work things until I get it right.

[HippyFarmer420]

I’m not criticizing, I am giving points that would produce better results if you addressed them.

I remember when I first started out years ago, I had 6 cfl bulbs, we all got to start somewhere..

Lights is not the first thing on the “to get list”, granted its nice to have big fancy lights, but if you do not work on the other factors, no light in this world will help ya “not even the sun”.

First thing is environment, make sure you got good air flow, good reflections, and cover the wood floor..

If you grow on this wooden floor with no way of catching the water, you will eventually run into problems, you should cover that floor.

Once you have your room in check “air, light reflection, as sealed as you can get it” then you should focus on how you want to grow..

Do you want to go synthetic, organic, hydro, hempy buckets ect..

If you are going organic, you need to go full organic, don’t half ass something here.. Tossing pro mix and bone meal in a pot is not the best “organic” solution.

I myself  “and many others” make my own soil mixes, these mixes takes weeks to break down before planting in..

If you go organic, you should not add in synthetic, the 2 do not mix.

After you have your room in check,  your soil in check, then you get the lights sorted. After that, then it’s time to grow..

If any of these steps are “half assed”, you will end up with shitty ass results..

We pour our hearts into these plants, dont set yourself for failure by skipping or skimping on important things.

 

[HippyFarmer420]

You also know that no matter what light you use, or what size, it wont matter if you can’t correct your other problems..

Lights is just 1 factor, environment is more important, growing medium is also important..

You can have a room full of SF’s thousand dollar units but if you do not address your main issues, your plants will grow like shit.

Ive been trimming for going on 2 weeks and still haven’t made a dint..

Im starting to question if I need all this, thoughts are telling me to just toss it so I can get my indoor going..

But it’s a bit hard to justify throwing out lbs of herb cause I don’t feel like trimming it, but I have more then I can physically smoke and I just want my indoor back up again, I enjoy growing WAY more then this trimming shit.

She was very happy to see that after 16 years of marriage I still stood up for her..

I was pissed at first because I felt that the hydro shop took advantage of her not knowing anything about garden supplies, then I realized when I called them that it was a mishap on their distributing end.

Hydro shop was very thankful that I figured out they were getting screwed, I just saved and made him a bit of money and I think they are changing distributors after this.
