It's made from expanded valcano rock and they are saying that it's pretty carcinogenic, that leaches into the plants, and also when you inhale the dust:wtf: Yeah lets all do a line of perlite:wtf:Quote:

Dude. Vermiculite sux.
Leaches INTO the plants? Pish posh. I'll buy that for a dollar, and the Brooklyn Bridge too! I love government agencies soemtimes... But yeah, as an inhaled carcinogen I would be worried.
DE is legal in the States but not in Canada.
NaughtyDreds, your boogers are SUPPOSED to be green. Orange if you've been into the carrots again.
nice to hear they survived stinky...that would have been a huge bummer. didn't lose any of mine, all they needed was water and perked right up. looking forward to seeing the finished product (the dicks)
Stink if you get a chance please pop into the Thread you created for me this morning...
Thanks GL :thumbsup:
GREAT to hear they all survived queen stinks!:thumbsup:

The survivors rode off into the sunset this weekend. They've found a good home in the hands of someone who can be trusted to look after one of the largest genetic archives I am aware of. It will be nice to be able to sleep soundly for a change. But I have to get going on a long-overdue renovation project and so far I've only found a tame electrician.. and my hovel needs a LOT more than just new wiring.
Shown is the last load being packed up. Damn, the place looks sad and empty. But every ending is a new beginning somewhere else... ; )
I know the feeling. When we moved I had to shut down and it was so lonely in the basement. Even our new grow room was felt empty and deserted 'till my sprouts came up, and it took a long time to get there.Quote:

:)Stinky, eye candy is great and miss it already! Thanks for articulating so well, for us noob's. Have learned a lot and had a good laugh or two, as well! So, if I want a good seed, I need to hit my friend in NE up for some! Good to know-never thot of it! Glad all turned out well, you had me sitting on the side of my mouse for awhile!! Much appreciate all you teach!:thumbsup:
Oh, I read in a book today by Ed Rosenthal that vermeculite has asbestos in it! Perhaps that is why you don't like it! (good nose for growing)!:D
Four good lessons learned....once again I wish I'd seen this 2 months ago.
-toothpick thing. I did not do anything and the top cm or so is dark brown. Should I trim that and treat with toothpick now?
- I know it depends on strain, lights, nutes....TLC and probably five other things I haven't learned yet...but in a round about sort of way...after you did these clones about how much time until switch to flowering mode?
- when I topped/ cloned the plant I took the whole and did not split it. Now two weeks later there are roots but the thing has only grown out, not up....is it possible/adviseable to split the thing in half now?
- I really like those square pots!!
ahh...the evolution of learning!
Totohpick- it's not NECESSARY and once your plant has healed, don't mess with it. There's not a huge chance of damage to the plant or disease if you don't, but I just like to be super safe since I know there is a lot of mould about.
Flower after cloning- I like to switch to flower when the clones have rooted and the mothers have recovered. Both of these things conveniently take just under 2 weeks!
Split- Not necessary. That was just because of the sort of cutting I took off that plant, right at a Y to make 2 'heeled' cuttings. Normally you will take a tip, and just slice it behind a node.
Square pots- I fished them out of a dumpster behind a nursery. On one hand, I got thrips. On the other, the nursery sells Rotenone. lol!
If all your veg growth is 24 hours and you switch to flower indoors...I realize the standard is 12/12....is that what you use as well? I was wondering if the plants have seen no night, and you did 4 days in darkness to trigger...if you then could go to 18 light/ 6 dark and still have flower power since it's a longer routine "night" then they've ever experienced.
what effect does donkey dick have?says up high on vancouver seedbank but also says mostly indica.(like is it couchlock high giggly or whatever)
so cloning the plant is just taking a small branch off the plant and replanting it???Im new to everything barly set up my seeds 4 days ago.
yo mike,
welcome. Here is a good place to start getting answers to the FAQs.
Yes, cloning is 'taking cuttings' or 'slips' or whatever we want to call it.

Hey stinky, i'm pretty new to the forums and have just recently completed my first grow. i am helping a friend try to fix his fucked up plants and need all the help i can get, the link is in my signature. Also i tried the "washing" the cannabutter technique i found in ur cannabutter thread and it worked wonderfully, best taste, cleanest butter i have ever made. i don't know why i never thought about it before.:thumbsup: anyway, any advice u may have would be so awsome.
