No it isn´t. I was looking for a name when I signed up and since I have been reading a book by him I used the name. Not very original I know.

I just finished his book on Ferment and Human Nutrition. Very good reference book.

Hey I was gone for a few days and it seams the making your own soil 101 is gone.

What happened? I thought that was a great thread.

That mix is a few years old I believe. CC had revised it to a simpler mix leaving out the Dolo lime, greensand and a few others to what he posted in the Living soil thread after that.

1 of the things i feel is a good direction is the 1:1:3 ratio of drainage:humus:peat as it keeps us closer to "ideal" ratios of drainage & humus components

1:1:1 is common in nurseries & does prove that it's not that critical

1:1:2 has always been my preference just for ease but always felt like another 'part' of peat would make it a little more economical

I hope that's not true. A sad loss if so. I remember hearing when Silverback died guerillaing it up a few years ago. It's the beauty of our scene that we have everyone from the young to the old bound together by a love of this wonderful plant.

Positive vibes to all the breeders gone missing or on hiatus. Especially H3ad.

Also vg will you keep the competition open longer? I really think my White Romulan has a chance of winning this but she's probably got another month left. She has not yet begun to resin or chunk up, but I'm already seeing the shape of a dozen two foot long donkey dicks.

and here is VGs Fat Bubbas. 7 are very consistent and show similar growth patterns and size. They have slight differences that my camera skills do not show. lol but all in all they are doing good. They need a transplant which they will receive today or tomorrow. I will start bending the one that show sex early or may take cuts and push them back I just don´t know yet.

Here is the first group that look and grow about the same

and here are the three oddballs as I call them. One really big, another the same size but different growth patterns and the runt. The ´runt´ is just the opposite of the really ´big one´ Looks just the same just grows slooooooooow. lol

and a group shot of them all

some top shots. They have some nice color huh? Over all I am happy with the traits I have seen so far.

Good job on these VG! Can´t wait for room in the flower room. The first of October is what I am shooting for so I do have some time to train them........lol like 5 weeks or so. Should be huge by then. Their final home will be 10 gallon no till smart pots.

Jesus, Bubba hates branching haha. I cut a bud off my Cheri F2 from VG and dug a mature seed out (woot!). I put it in the ground, should be a polyhybrid nightmare: Cherijuana F2 (Herijuana x Cherry Bomb) x LouDog's CJxSB IXI (which is either ((CJxSB) x CJ) or ((CJxSB) x SB)).
