39 entries on the 1st genetic box so far! Pretty pumped to see that number; curious if we'll hit over 50!

I know youre asking Bill, but id say thats all dependent upon genetics. Some strains dont seem to require much if anything at all, some drink like crazy and want all the nutrients lol! I dont do the water only thing, but from what ive seen in others grows is that towards the end they almost all need some supplemental nutrients. If youre going for water only, i would choose genetics that were small and fast. Just to optimize the whole system.

Water only is exactly that! Pretty sure topdressing takes it outta that category! I am famous for water only plants and they rarely make it to the end without being totally trashed from hunger! And i used soil with more nutrients than the 3.0 stuff!


My phone memory was full so all my photos have been erased or i would show u what water only does with most soils! And if u topdress dry stuff into the soil the food is there for the plant to take what it wants vs force feeding them stuff they may not need!

My thoughts on freeze pipes: Can't be glass.

Glass is an insulator, although it has thermal mass, it has a really poor transfer rate.

A freeze pipe should be metal, with lots of fins inside the tube for massive surface area.

Crufts dogs who bear a striking resemblance to their humans

It's a common thought that dogs mirror their owner's appearance, and attendees at Crufts in Birmingham today may provide further evidence.

Hi-viz workmen digging up roads were in fact gang stealing electricity

But in reality, crews from reassuringly professional-looking Elev8 Civils and Utilities vans were in fact part of an astonishing covert criminal network fuelling illicit drug profits worth millions.

@WildBill - Hey Bill, was it you that was talking about the BaS 3.0 soil? I've seen bags of it at the local hydro store. Is it complete and good enough for an auto without having to add anything?

I think it probably would, but you're gonna have to make sure it's a big pot.

That being said, what are you going to do to the media after you've grown this girl? How are you going to re-amend?

I don't know your style and if you are organic already or not. I've been organic since I helped my Grandma with her garden at a very early age. I've fed and raised my family with organically grown vegetables and animals. Organics is the synthesis of the lifecycle.

I'm fairly confident that you could grow a small auto, such as Sour Stomper, in a 10 gallon pot and get decent results. This is organics so you're not going to throw out the media and will need to be re-amended. So you buy some Craft Blend, throw your media into a tote and add about three quarters cup to each cubic foot and let it cook. So without any other organic tricks, you should be able to use that media in a month or so.

Now here comes that nagging organic mindset. Ruth Stout plays heavily into my organic thought process. Basically, her claim to organic fame is no bare soil. Microbes need moisture to live, thrive and make food available to the plant. A cover of some sort over your media, be it living, dead or synthetic(cover of a Earthbox), will keep that moisture level more even throughout your entire pot.

Instead of just relying on the power of the 3.0 media and a big pot, I suggest the addition of some very simple ingredients that will assure your girl gets all of her needs met. Since nothing really goes to waste in organics, you are that much more prepared for the next grow.

Here are some simple ingredients to be used as a top dress that conserves moisture and also adds nutrients. And one is a simple enhancement for flower development to be watered in.

Not only is it good for re-amending your media after I grow, you can use it during the grow.
