I have AAA’s recipe but it stinks badly. Was gonna try making a citrus CBD salve for better smell.

Recipe I’m looking at calls for making coconut oil(I’ve done that many times) but adding bees wax olive oil and essential oils to the coconut oil before it cools. If you got a different or better recipe for salve I’m always ready to listen

@Budbrother thanks for that thread. I got to get a few more things but that tiger balm is getting made. I guess i didn’t realize how much essential oils they use. I just thought that was for smell

The essential oils and the emu oil are used for carriers to allow medicine to penetrate pass the skin barrier.

I’ve been using the Masterblend 3-part dry nutrients to make up feeding water. Everything that I have used it on, veggies, fruits, flowers, cannabis, etc… has done really well. Was recommended by a Master Gardener a few years ago at the State Fair. Cannabis gets full strength when appropriate, everything else gets 1/2 strength. Hope that helps.

Most laid back outdoor grow in years this year with Grow Dots Extended Veg and Recharge. Added cal mag occasionally. Added fish emulsion with kelp towards the end for terpenes. I used to mix FoxFarm at least weekly and this was much better. Added some left over FF CaChing to try to get the late varieties to finish up end of Croptober.

If you prefer to use water soluble then JR Peters is probably the way to go. They offer many different blends but 321 recipe is by far most common from them and several of their products easily available on Amazon.
If you want to stay organic it’s going to be some work or you spend the cash on well built amendments. You can cheat the teas and use something like terp teas from roots organics but these alone won’t produce most ideal plants.

Don’t over think this. I have seen a lot of farmers put so much thought and time into this it basically becomes a science experiment. Leading to burnt, stunted nutrient locked plants.
Think about growing the soil! How can I make the soil the healthiest it can be? How are the plants around me growing and are they withstanding the elements of the weather? Am I in direct sunlight 100% of the time? Does this plot experience high winds?
These are just a few questions to start of the planning part of things. 
Soil. Preparation can go a very very long ways. Look at an old growth forest. The soil has not been touched by man for hundreds to thousands of years. No nutrients has been added nor has the ground been tilled. But the trees and vegetation is thriving. Taller and stronger then plots of land massacred by man. Why?
The soil is black gold. Packed full of life, nutrients and roots tilled by Mother Nature her self. This is true organic living soil. This is what we want to shoot! 
The think of you were the roots of a plant. What type of soil would you like to blast off into 
I tend to go towards the Down to Earth line. Over the past few seasons I have gone a lot towards the dry amendments along with some supplementary teas.
When it comes to nutrients “for me” the majority of the time less is best. This dose not mean don’t give the plant what it needs but more directed towards the concept of don’t over pump the plant. For example don’t 10 gallons of tea will benefit more than a simple 3-4 gallons.
I like to grow a healthy cover crop about a month before I break soil with my plant. I chop this down and cover it with straw. This supplies an amazing food source for the worms. As the worms chimps on the green mulch they transport it down to the lower parts of the soil. This not only naturally transports your nutrients but also air rates the soil allowing for easier root penetration ect. 
I also like the chop n drop method. When I thin a plant (removing large sun leaves) I leave them in the soil under and around the plant. (Not the same with infested or ugly leaves. Take those away)
This also supplies a good food source and aids to a healthy soil mixture.
Sorry for the long rant. I’m not here to debate agent’s nutrient lines or feeding regiments. Just tossing down my thoughts and sharing how my brain works.
Happy farming fellow farmer. I hope to have a bad a** amazing season.

I enjoy reading it all. I found a company about an hour away from me that makes several different kinds of soil all mixed and produced for cannabis. The place is called countryroots and they sell stuff like living soil by the yard or trailer full. I won’t have the money until spring but adding a whole bunch of something is definitely happening. Enjoyed the rant growmie

No, you can get it if you pay shipping, and that cost depends on the distance between you and the CX distribution warehouse. It ain’t cheap to ship 20-25 lb of 10 bottles of chemically-laced water to your door. Nothing inherently wrong with their stuff, IME, but like most pot nute sellers, they try to baffle customers with bullcrap when they can’t dazzle you with brilliance.

@Budbrother hey the tiger balm recipe in the link above you shared 3 days ago do you know if that’s a 1/2 cup canna oil or 5 cups? I asked the person who posted it but I have gotten no response

@Budbrother if my calculation is right the recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of peppermint oil? Along with the other oils that seems like way to much oil? Heck I don’t know internet just warns not to use to much.
Math checks. I never made it myself. He sent me some jars. You could easily cut the oils in half. It’s that emu oil that penetrates.
I was gonna buy some of that blue emu from Wal- and use that. I was comparing it to dispensaries ingredients to look at carriers for a lazy approach. Figured dose it with wax. Use water bath to warm and dissolve. Probably have to use alcohol to assist absorption of concentrate.
