I wouldn't gamble with those GHS nutes in soil. GHS may say that the nutes can be used in soil but GHS like to make a lot of money too. What's the harm to them if a few soil growers buy their product and then realise that it doesn't work in soil...they've already made their bit of cash off someone who wasn't meant to buy their nutes in the first place. Also that 5.7 PH is most likely recommended for Hydro growing

I'll second Max on overwatering. How often are you watering the soil girls?

Thanks bud. I see quite a few guys are suggesting it as a good source of calcium in your soil. Check out the video and the attached PDF. Both suggest using a bit of Oyster Shell. Also helps to buffer apparently. Thoughts? HowToBuildASoilArticle.pdf

Or....what is a good local alternative?

Does anybody know where one can get whole, crushed or powdered oyster shell in SA?

Thanks a mil bud!!

Where would one find a brew store in the CT area?

Hey tobes! I'm going organic very soon and very interested to know if your compost tea is the shiz or not? Are you noticing positive results when feeding with it?

Welcome back Master KJ!!! Look forward to the results!

Welcome Ghost!

Gotta agree Totemic. Nothing would light up a narcs eyes more than a bunch of growers in one spot sharing each others weed

Any ideas how we could get something like this going with forum members without compromising safety? edt: Shotgun being a judge

Hi Sterling If you're brave enough and patient enough to develop the contacts, you could do a trip through Swaziland. There are literally plantations everywhere if you go looking deep enough and your chances of coming across some potential Landraces are quite high. You really have to make an expedition of it though. How are you experiencing PM issues?

Sorry for the disgustingly late reply Toby clearly got sidetracked! Got my seeds from Bonza. Great stealth and great packaging Highly recommend them if you're ordering in the cape! I had it sent straight to a home address via Bonza Booty which is the only method they recommend for us Capies. No problems. Took a month to deliver. I won't mention all the seeds I ordered but the strain I'm looking most forward to is Scotts OG from Rare Dankness. Ordered 2 regs of those so holding thumbs. Highlights among the freebies is Barney's Cookies Kush.

Sitting in darkness here due to load shedding and thinking... with Eskom and it's load shedding an all, my fridge is obviously going to oscillate in temps as I don't have a generator. Seeing as I will most probably germ these seeds before the end or the year should i just store them in an airtight container in a cupboard. These oscillations in temps worry me a bit seeing as that's not recommended. Any thoughts?

Must agree with this as well. I started using Oasis RO water and only experienced problems. Couldn't kick a N deficiency no matter how high I went in strength. As soon as I went back to tap water my plants looked sorted again! While on this sort of subject matter, what's your guys opinion on using filtered rainwater? As in collect rainwater, filter it with a coffee filter and use it on my plants.

Wow what lighting is generating that??

Shot 420. So generally it's better to store your seeds in the fridge than not?

Superb growing AJ!!! You gonna have bud that will last you for MONTHS!!! Or are you a concentrate man?

Thanks okes solid advice!!! I don't have a spare fridge to work with so it will have to be the fridge I use on a day to day basis. Seeing as it's recommended that your fridge temp doesn't go higher than 3 degrees for food, is that temp ok for seeds as well?

Hey okes I just received my order from a seed bank abroad and they recommend moving the seeds out of the container they come in and into their own containers. So my question is... What are the best containers to store seeds in?
