Boojum Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Juggling is ace when you're proper stoned Even better on shrooms (I learned to juggle on shrooms just 3 balls, Ozric Tentacles on the stereo and utterly off my tits, when morning came I could juggle ) Sorry, I digress. But juggling on psychedelics is ace, you get in a kinda trance that is just so fucking good 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone deranger Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 @Boojum7 balls is fucking good dude!! I never could crack more than 3. I like spinning a big fuck off fire staff when i'm off my tits on Mandy and shrooms. I feel like a fire ninja. Just stay out of way or you might get accidently whacked and burnt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilgePump Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 @Crow River what compost are you using? I've noticed at work with the advent of the peat free revolution we are getting more and more saprotrophic fungi (decomposers) appearing in plants from numerous sources , it's absolutely a symptom of the wood fibre manufacturers are bulking up mixes with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westlands MPC with added John Innes. 8 parts that, 1 part each of perlite and vermiculite. I've not had this problem before, but when I pot up the fibre pots get buried in the soil and are subject to decomposition. This is likely what fed the mycelia to start with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I've never had any good results with any John Inness compost. It always sets like concrete unless you water it really gently and I can't be bothered Edited May 17, 2022 by Boojum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sticking with it for the time being... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Not all ji mixes are equal , the Westland and levingtons ones compact and set like concrete for a pastime whereas the Bord Na Mona growise John Innes retains its friability much more readily. J.i has its uses but I wouldn't ever use it for fast growing veg or "cash" crops , it's more suited to perennials and things in pots or beds as it's more of a soil rather than a compost, I use j.i #3 for indoor palms and things like mother in-laws tongue with good results. Mtp with added John Innes ain't so bad though , probably quite good for long flowering equatorial sativas Edited May 17, 2022 by BilgePump ETA more 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sticking with it for the time being... Jusy keep in mind that you have to water it with a very fine rose head, for a light sprinkile of water, Anything more and it really does set like concrete, and that means the roots can's grow through it. There are much better mixes (shit, I use bog standard seedling compost until they establish themselves then cheapo Durston's Multi Purpose compost from the local hardware shop feed with Biobizz grow cos I've still got a massive bottle of it, it's about 3 years old but it still smells OK, a bit like Marmite did I mention that I'm a really crap grower ? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I wish they sold nutes in small bottles, cos I really don't grow enough to use a whole litre before it goes a bit iffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow River Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 @BilgePump, prior to the last grow I was just using cheap supermarket compost for my mix. The MPC with JI seems to be better, I'm not finding it particularly heavy going. However I'm using classic Blumats for the main water supply once the plants are in final pots, only hand watering occasionally to moisten the top layer until feed regime kicks in at the start of flower. Had excellent root development in my last grow so until I come across something better, I'm sticking with it. Was actually a recommendation read on these boards that encouraged me to try it.

Crow River Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) @Boojum, my use of Blumats (just the classic ones, not a dripper system) in final pots means soil never completely dries out, so maybe that makes a difference? Imagine it would be a different story with just hand watering to runoff and wet/dry cycles. Edited May 17, 2022 by Crow River 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 @Boojum don't knock the Durstons , our bedding plant supplier uses it exclusively and their trailing lobelia are stonking! Richmoors from Morrisons however is a massive bag o wank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 @Crow River I reckon the blumats are exactly what makes the difference , yer probably bang on with that assumption 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
