i use them mainly around the bottom of my plants;
1)to keep mold/mildew off dirt/coco
2)keep from washing out roots

And I’m going promix hp, but will mix it with about 25% coco.

Next grow:

  1. New tent so I’ll have 2 tents sized 2.5x5x7 each
  2. One tent will use blurple leds, and the other will use quantum boards
  3. Switching to organic nutes via Earth Juice
  4. Switching from soil to promix

I bought some coco from home depot, hope I can say that. And also some organic on amazon. I was going to post a link buy I see they have almost doubled the price in just one month for the organic. Prices seem to change every day on amazon. For the H.D. stuff. It stays pretty true to what you ph it to. If you do 5.8 in. You get the same out. With the organic. I ph to 5.8 and get closer to 7 out. I didn’t let that bother me since I knew what I put in. The plants seemed to be more than happy with it too. So i let it go and just went by what I thought the plants were telling me. As the grow went on. I started to get lower ph number for the run off. I have only completed my first grow and it was in the organic. I still have a lot left and another 11lb brick from H.D. Since I knew I was staying with coco for a while. I bought a monster bag of the perlite. Buying those little 1lb bags got expensive quick. here is the perlite I got if some one else uses a lot. Seemed to work fine for me. This will fill a 20 gal. trash can :grin: I am not saying you should buy these. Just that I have had good luck with both.
Sorry to high jack your thread @blackthumbbetty :grin:

I honestly only know some chocolate recipes and various baked goods recipes; I’ve never experimented with gummies or hard candies.

But, if you want to try chocolates, you could make a nice batch of 30-45 pieces (approximately 75-100mg thc per candy), using an ounce of decarbed herb and 1/3 cup clarified butter or coconut oil.

Up above there are 2 chocolate recipes. Basically, take 1/4 cup prepared budder & melt it with 11.5-12 oz of your favorite chocolate; add a tbsp of espresso powder for good measure.

I try to use an ounce of herb for one batch.

Whew! Guys, after curing, the lsd-25 is freaking intense. Jeez! I burped the jars 2x a day for 2 weeks, then once a day for a week, then a 3 times a week for 2 weeks, then no burping for a week. After that last week? Whoa!

The breeder specifically says this strain benefits from curing, and boy they did not lie. It went from a beautiful, exotic tasting strain with an average high, to a beautiful, exotic tasting strain that blows your mind after just one bong rip.

I tried it last night, but thought it might be b/c I hadn’t smoked in 5 days. I just took a bong rip, today, and it’s confirmed. Good stuff.
