Hey I hear you, I'm 73 started smoking in 1967 -68 watching my plants grow, playing with my cats and the occasional Dr. appointment is our life now and I think we're happier because of it. Few distractions to stress us out, the hermits life is all we want now sad as that may be.

I add a few items to my soil mix, Azomite,or Wollsonite, Gypsum, Yucca powder, Myco's Worm Castings, Perlite . With this mix I don't need much feed in veg for the fist month

Here we go again with my graph, sorry guys. I try to feed and light like this graph, up as feed goes up and down as feed goes down.

An old pro grower told me my burnt tips on my leaves were not necessarily too much feed, it could have been not enough light.......When food and light are balanced you don't get the burnt tips. So as I increase my food I increase my light, same way on back end as you drop your food, drop your light.

If jj's chems are any clue ill need to find a stronger way to robustly keep the medium pumped from weeks 2-6....the orig medium needs to be buffered WAY more then i was.

I wanna focus on trying to make a booster compost that makes week2-7 in flower not struggle to keep up nutes wise, I should add this is ENTIRELY me not making an attempt to be proactive in my mediums...i was in a fill jars quick mode(my wife) to keep the folks happy....Now that she has those big bodhi hashplant nugs to poke at for awhile i can focus on my area being dialed in mediums wise.

I use a promix type soil mixed about 60/40 with perlite. and my other goodies which is basically an organic start. The mix has a small starter charge and with the worm Castings and minerals I add I'm good for about 1 month. My feed being synthetic doesn't meld well with organics so I'm not adding anything other than perlite to my soil in the final pot.
 
Nice pine wood work and stove.

The top 3 post in the soil forum have great info on amending your soil in a couple different ways.
Here you go.

Subcool super soil mix.

Figured this would be good to post up until we see if shaded makes it over with his Gaia Green write up. This is the original version of subcools super soil published to high times magazine. You are supposed to mix this soil 1 month in advance of using. It is intended to be a water only mix...

Do you start with a store bought soil that’s buffered? SSM#4 or ProMix? Otherwise pick up some dolomite lime. A little goes a long way.

The farmers i used to work for would let the manure sit for like 5 yrs if memory serves and that stuff never failed! Think im gonna try the KNF feeds as long as i dont throw things out of whack. The stove and the wood are from my godfathers house.

I rarely have much laying around in jars, except for personal use. I'm more commercial than most of the people on here, so I approach everything a bit differently. Curing will definitely bring out more smell in most buds, and make the smoke taste and smoke better.

Most important is to understand the UV bulbs are dangerous to your skin and you should not be in the room while they are on.........

This makes me giggle because isnt UV-a what tanning beds use? So UV-b would be for the tent! I wanna get as good smelling jars of cured flowers like i was with smelling burning firewood and being able to tell the species from the smell!

I source from a massive pile at a donkey farm thats patrolled by chickens......but also takes in restaurants scraps to mold up and make good for root bounders! They do sell it to folks in burlaps. It has enough nutes in it to run till the container is full of roots then its time to feed. I was just being lazy/ stressing my plants while go through midlife in a progressive area trying to stay chill lmaop
 
So after completely fuking up the last 5 seeds, Ill just restart and do progress here with my set up straightened out. there's too many "employed thieves" where i live. I prefer to be as incognito with my stuff as possible. My grows may seem shit but the jars my wife takes to work cause fist fights in the parking lot over blunts of it so i must be doing something right lmaop Oh golly geeez i cant wait to highlight my grow from seed to harvest here. So im thinking chem 91's S1 from dagga G 4 on one side, and 4 dirty chems from JJ at topdawg on the other side.
 
Man having a dimmer on this light is SO NEEDED! Pure power like this from a light is neat but must be respected cause it'll let ya know your mistakes quickly and i like that, honestly figure less then half on my dimmer throughout until flowers start up.............
 

Ill never forget warning my cousin about mag ballast capacitors holding a charge being bad juju, we used to take everything apart as kids to see how they worked.....Do any of you have experience with stewarts shops out of ny state? They have done some things to my kid after buying out her last employer that confuse me. they will not allow her overtime (the criteria they want met for employment means very few qualify that will even apply for the rate of pay) Forced her into a salary that is 150-250 a week paycut! This company just spent 5 billion and then preys upon the employees running their stores? Having a hard time wrapping my head around this. Before they bought out the old employer they were managing and doing well for several yrs. They came in all peacock and shiny but im getting the gut feeling this is a chitshow unfolding.....kinda out of touch with our local hiring base if they think folks who can pass a backround check, piss test...etc will accept 15 an hour......Nobody where i live can sustain on those rates of pay......the cost of living wage here is at least 25 hr..........Seems predatory to me.

think my average this year for 2025 was at least 10 hours overtime for a good 45-50 weeks of 2025 cause dont cha know most folks think where i live a full time job is beneath them? idk went through about 25 people that year for many diff reasons but those said reasons all spawn from the same thing......."a sense of entitlement for being unemployed" Its either showing up to work to slowly sip liquor.....have a scratch ticket addiction.....have a thieving addiction. Or be an able bodied man who has kids that enrolls in a welfare program that has them go to an employer to work for a "set amount of time" to appease welfare criteria only to IMMEDIATELY quit as soon as that time frame is hit. Claiming being on welfare is their "livelihood" and being employed is for suckers lmaop. So if the overtime coming back in taxes rings true i should be close to the cap and able to upgrade a few things. Maybe find a line with ONYCD i can pollinate to keep in my boxes. Chem dbl d is great from JJ...........the doggystyle he sells is really good. I should try the piff/hazes and his jj haze too!
 
I am an old roofer. Used to do 50-hour weeks whenever possible. Now we stick to 40.
People of all ages just don't want to work anymore.
My job is far from glamorous but pays well.
Ask someone if they want to roof and they all say no way.
Ask them if they would like to make my annual salary and they all hate me~!
I have never told anyone I know outside of work that they should be a roofer.
I don't think many of my friends really could eat shit like I do and would lose their shit in under 1 month anytime of the year.
It's a marathon not a sprint.

Know clove hitch knot before i had hair down there.........Family did slate roofs here and they still stand strong multiple decades later. Makes me kinda nauseous that what you say is so pervasive.

There's a lot of stipulations on this. The first being that you're not eligible if you make over 100k. Second, you still pay taxes on the regular time side of the OT so only the .5 is exempt. Third, there's a cap at like 10 or 15k worth of deductible OT wages.

It may be my seat in the middle of the bus but it does not look good out my window.
People expect to make bank just sitting home.
NYS is $860 a week for unemployment [ union guys get a supplement putting them over 1k a week], yet I will work all winter.
Not sure if it is integrity or stupidity at this point but there is work every week.

When i learned, i learned from a family here the bilados, they taught me well. What you say rings true because ive seen quite the scuffles on jobsites between contractors, Most recently seeing alot of buildings that went up way too quickly LITERALLY falling apart less then 5 yrs old. Its like ringing in my head "we cant find good workers in america" and im sad by this........i grew up watching detroit auto manufact and the like so seeing the way things are now coast to coast renst space in my head and it kinda hurts to be honest
