o shit man there aint a hydro store for 100 miles where im at. i been lookin into starting a compost pile. try to keep it all "homegrown" :stoned:
What about Agway or even Loews? Manure Humus, peat moss, and perlite. Add fertilizers (worm castings, bat guano, etc.) to your liking and you're done.Quote:

Good luck with the compost thing, I"m going to get a new pile going this fall for my vegy garden the year after next (used all of my last pile on next years bed)
o yea im sure i could find anything i could ever need online. i could prolly buy other peoples compost piles from ebay haha. i guess im just using as little as i can to get a better understanding of our soil. i mean shit when my plant shows some wierd signs i could find a thread on here and it will let me know what condition is causing it! i got extreme red clay here and i read some places say its got nutrients already n ome say ill need to amend other things into it. i know that most clay natuirally is too tough for root growth so i may just need to til it and add lime or something. :D
shes still good. but im a little conserned, she may have balls as well. im no pro and havent seen up closes of many plants to make a final call but....i got pics ill post em when i can! on this thread anyway!
i can post pics so here they are!
1st pic is it in the jiffy pellet thing
2nd is of how i put it in the ground. with the jug of water!
3rd speaks for itself
4th so does this one!
here she is a few days ago. almost 6 inches in a lil more than a week. water and sun only. ill go and take some pics in a minute here, showing all the problems im seeing. so glad i can post pics now
alrighty then. ive sifted threw the hundred pics i just took and id like to post what ive found.
1. heres the bottom leaf. the only yellow leaf. im guessing old age and bein so close to the ground?
2. looks like chewed spots in the leaf? i found several just like it. some in the middle and some along the edges.
3. some odd lookin shot-gun spread holes.
now for the bugs i found
4. this one is interesting. u can see the leaves curled inward due to the web. i read all spiders are predators, so im guessing its ok?
5. a leaf lookin bug. its got some wicked orange swirls on its back/wings. im thinkin this guy is an asshole.
please any ideas as to what these problems might be? i might not be able to do much but it doesnt hurt to knwo how to prevent/cure these problems. thanks for watching!! :stoned:
I see what looks like minor thrip damage/ possible mite damage, the larger holes are probably grasshoppers or caterpillars. Let the spider be, it'll help with the actual pests. As for the bugs on the top, the pic is a bit too out of focus to tell,.... how big are they?
Did you get any pics of the suspect preflower growth?
