i'm doing that HB-99 currently i got pics of her in veg thus far... the C99 pollen was from Six different male siblings of 2016 grimm stock... BTW i know Cindy like the back of my hand having had her as far back as 1999...the new C99 from Grimm is merely F2, but they are solid and great parental stock >>> from an old seed pack...(unless he's reworked it in the last 12 months)

Curious....What were the females like from the 2016 stock?

I've never added kelp into soil, as it is in just about all my liquid nutes.
The only thing I add to soil is Blood, Bone, Azomite, Dom lime and HollyTone ..love this shit https://www.espoma.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Esp_Holly.pdf

So I sprouted in organic rich soil with lobster compost and lime...I had no stress with great root development...So yeah i would not do that with salt based fertilizers embedded in the soil but hot organic is issue less.this is my second run doing this with same results.


We had guests and my queen jumped up stairs and shot this over my
shoulders....i really didn't take many pics..Little blurry:cry:

I keep a huge bag of holly tone around but only have used it on all my acidic Trees and shrubs...I never inspected the ingredients before.
Does it change your soils PH at all?

Get some kelp:)

I have been using it forever, soil doesn't drop because Dom lime buffers it. I water at 6.8 to 7 ph. I love that it has everything in it. No need to buy all those things like greensand, feather meal, alpha meal etc.

Well I should say that it's usually at around 6.8 as I never check my pond water ph except with ph strips, but this year with the gnats going crazy and adding budswell ..um I had to buy a meter because that gnatrol dropped it to below 5..wasn't good

Getting a lot of the organic elements to make up a well rounded soil can take some checking around at time.The good part about that is I do come around some good knowledgeable people.
I have not been in side a mall in years but love to go to local New England nurseries and garden centers.Some times if I have some travailing to do i will plan a stop at a particular nursery or farm Etc.I generally run across great deals in the fall as there making room for fall season.Organics can be costly but if you look around locally you can find some nice stuff on close out...They usually offer me discount because....I'm so Nice:)
To be honest you cant drag me out of these places...for me its like going to a plant zoo.I love it and the people working there love it so we are chatting up a storm.
One of the woman gave me a bag of Humic Acid for 4 bucks so I added that to soil and will add a small amount to tea's....a little goes a long ways.

So yeah I love these places and love buying organic and local....The women working there are cute and super nice.
Forget going to the Bars or gym to meet women...Garden centers :dance013:Haha

I have one of those yellow miller PH-meter and 7.0 metering liquid.I double check my tap water once in a great while but nothing like when I grew with salt fertilizers.

I use Hot steam from a hot iron or a wallpaper remover on top of soil to eradicate gnats...It fast and effective.

ha ! you wouldn't think fish would have the brains to beg for food

Yeah Right....Hard to see but there is a black one out of the water with his mouth opened ....I had to shoot quick before my fish friend realized i was not carrying any goodies:)

My friend is big into pond building and when he got a divorce he told me he went back to his old house and took all the stones and pumps....I asked him about his other belonging...He said Nope Just the stones and pump equipment.I roared laughing...Great Guy:biggrin:

Hey Brother Blazeee
I am a big fan of the point and shoot cameras because of their design...They are really classified as a mirrorless camera.
I was using a 9 year old point and shoot up till about 4 months ago and then I switched to a 35mm.
In that I only shoot with manual vintage camera lenses from the late 60s early 70s...Another hobby of mine.:)
My big advantage is I take my plants out into a room with some natural light!Good light is they key!
Hit me up on PM if you're looking for some purchasing advice...I don't want to ramble on about cameras and lenses to much..Haha:biggrin:

If you ever think about growing breeding and straind till your brain hurts...Photography will do the same thing:)
