Well went to gut the soil i’ll be using and wouldn’t the guy closed his doors after 82 years. So I did find another farmers market that sells what I need. Well as I was told you never know till you see for your self. So hopefuly this weekend.
I need to move quickly now that I got that operation going down. BOY TALK ABOUT PUSHING IT TO THE LIMIT…But I love what I do.

What are you using as a base soil? Is it pro mix with mushroom compost and black cow all mixed together? If so, how much of each? Thanks for your time, always loved your grows!

Can’t wait to see a grow with ilgm’s new gelato strain! I’ve gotta jump on that 10 free seeds offer, immediately! I’ve heard great things about gelato seeds from other breeders but I’m willing to bet ilgm gelato will be amazing!

Thank You for that Erinie…I gotta have something to do while I recover from the surgery. So I figure why not a grow to help me to keep buzzy.

Good thinking. For me keeping busy is really helpful for my mental stability. I sit too long and I start thinking and then that’s what gets me in trouble
