Rabbit poop is consiered one of the best nitrogen rich fertilizers out there. I have many people over the years ask if they can come and get some. We use it on our gardens.

My question is, how goo would this be in a fert. mix for my plants? Would this be a good option. I would like to try to keep things natural as possible. ]]> zombiegirl http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/22089-rabbit-poop.html First time grow, learned a good lesson. http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/21852-first-time-grow-learned-good.html Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:24:58 GMT Heres a journal, and some pictures of my first grow.

Take heed and read, and please dont pull a bone head stoner paranoid move like i did.
================================================== ======
Okay so its mid summer, here in indiana.
A few failed attempts go grown in my nearby woods, and a few bad cycles of germinated seeds set me back then what i was schedualed.

2 Of my friends get miracle grow, and dig about a foot deep.
Then fill the hole with the soil.
The spot was in a nearby corn feild, we broke some stalks down and could get our plant about a full day of sunlight, everyday.

I put down 3 un-germinated seeds about an inch in the ground (in the soil).
So about a week of watering a black spot in the ground. Then finally we get a sprout =]



================================================== =======
Optimistic about the sprout we watered it more, and we'd smoke our blunts by it, and blow the smoke on it, (being high we though the smoke might help it XD)
A week or so later it started to get bigger, but in this next picture you can see a little bite taken off, and it looks a little scrony, so we watered it more about 3 times a day.





================================================== =======



Now, There is about 8 or more people that know about the grow site, and its about 50 feet away from housing, and about a 150-200 yards away from a Elementary school. ( Things that you should NEVER do. tell people... lol )
================================================== =======
Okay so its been about a half of a month now and our plants looking great.
The main stem is starting to get hard, and almost rubbery, you can bend it a little, but why would you want to? Lol




Looking great, growing up into my girl nammed mary jane =]
================================================== ========

Last documented picture, The Plant here you can see somes up to about your shins, but when i last had it, it was well up to my knees.





================================================== ========

Everything is good and all and the plant is starting to smell very dank, and skunky.

I love the smell everytime i walk into the feild, i almost feel high off smelling the top of the plant.

But, i had an impulse to move the plant. 3 Things were going for me, to many people knew, It was within 500 yards of a school (federal.) And my friend who was the one who supplied the soil, demanded for half of the yeild.

I was reluctent to do this so i moved the plant to the outskirts of the feild, to only where 3 of my very close friends and business parters knew about.

Then while i was putting it back in the new hole i dug, i got a phone call, and the 2 friends threated to steal my plant.

So then i had to make a very hard decision. Let them take the plant, or do a Night Ops Mission.

Night Ops Mission it was. About 10:00 at night, me and my friend, dig it up, put it in a pot, and start to walk across the soccer feild of the school.
Car pulls up, we hit the deck, the feild was curved so we were hidden. All of a sudden theres a helicopter approaching, flys over us once, turns around, and puts the spotlight on. Right on us. With the plant in my friends hands. So we pretty much turned around and ran full speed into the cornfeild, after a few swipes of the spotlight they flew off, and in the squabble my fiend had thrown the plant.

The next day, i found it, main stem broken. Laying lifeless on the ground.


Dont do what i did.

After assembling my new 8bulb Quantum T-5 unit,I realised that my grow cab was about 6 damn inches to narrow for the new setup ,so I spent the weekend tearing the old one apart and rebuilding from scratch...fun LOL.

My current crop is 10 Bubba X Lemon Kush plants from seed.This is the 6th time I have grown this strain from seed and as the first 60 of those seeds were all females I am not going to bother with the whole sexing/reversion thing.Should any show signs of being male when they hit pre-flower I will pull them then.

They are in 1 gallon grow bags with neutral soil with no pre added supplements or nutes.
I am watering 1/2 cup straight water every 2-3 days as needed and a mild solution of Seaweed extract @ 5mils per 2 litres every 7-10 days as they show the need for it.

Currently the girls average 12-14 inches in height with internodal spacing of about 1 1/2 inches.I am hoping this spacing will tighten up under the new lights.
Up to this point I was running them under 5 4ft. generic T-5 full spectrum bulbs. . . not bad but not great either.
they will continue to recieve the seaweed extract for the entire veg cycle as it not only contains all 13 mineral elements required for healthy plant growth ,but also a large number of natural growth hormones.

they are currently under an 18/6 light cycle which I will be switching to 12/12 in about a week.At that point I will add a top dressed supplement from a local company (Welcome Harvest Farms) called Flower Power.
Aprox 1 tablespoon is all I will add to each 1 gallon grow bag.I will also start adding an organic Bloom Tea once pre-flower signs appear.

now to see if I can add some pics here. . .Badboy unit unassembled and then some of it in action.

starting with ocean forest and adding perlite, then letting the plant start growing in it for about 2 weeks before i start to add nuetrients because i dont want to over nute it, the soil has nutes mixed in. i was going to roughly go by ff feeding schedule and use all their nutrients they recomend on it. http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf

starting big bloom on week 3 using it with every other watering untill the week before i start flowering. once flowering starts (week 7) ill start again.
use grow big from weeks 3-6 of veg and also 9-10 (which will be week 3-4 of flower)
tiger bloom from the beginning of flower phase until harvest

fox farm also sells solubles which are for the flowering phase. i want to include these into the schedule as well but i dont know much about them, will it be bad to do this? if not the schedule would be like this: start using open sesame during the last week of veg (week 6), and the first two weeks of flower. then switching to beastie bloomz for two weeks and for the next 4 weeks using cha ching.
all of these are liquid and are added to the water before hand and are only given to the plant with every other watering. to some of you accomplished growers out there, dose this sound like a good nutrition setup for my babies?
and im going to flush it for 2 weeks before harvest, i dont want to be smoking my nutes. lol

please look this over and give me some help!!:confused: ]]> blaze4all http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/21188-alll-fox-farm-all-way.html My favourite mix. 100% natural http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/21039-my-favourite-mix-100-natural.html Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:37:30 GMT made by the help of some ground hogs or something under my lawn. aha, and by the help of some local cattle. _tested_ a small mix for one little... made by the help of some ground hogs or something under my lawn. aha, and by the help of some local cattle.

tested a small mix for one little plant, I took the plant out of the small pot which had some Potter's Gold Potting soil, you use it every time you water, just a little bit. but when i transfered it into a medium sized pot (1gallon)(at two weeks old) it went from growing so slow, healthy but slow, to growing at least an inch a day. after 14 days in the topsoil/manure mix, the final measure said it had grown 18 inches, with and branches like a mother fucker. it was so green, so beautiful. used nothin but reverse osmosis filtered water (the whole grow). and only 220w CFL.

The Mix:
20% made up of 2 1/2 year old cow manure, and 80% of the soil dug up from some ground hog. aha. the soil is so pure and so dark and the manure is black and doesn't even look like shit anymore, doesn't even smell. you can pack the mix like snowballs but when you poke them they fall apart completely. i got 10 gallons mixed for indoor use and i've got 150 gallons of straight manure left, going to use some of it when i start an outdoor crop, i'll just mix it in wherever i grow. should get some big trees aha :harvest:

i'm stoked for this, 100% natural, 100% usable.. best part is that it was 100% FREE. and i'm set for a long while. haha. even if i use the manure for my small vegetable garden too. ]]> fly_high http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/21039-my-favourite-mix-100-natural.html soil recepies ? http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/20891-soil-recepies.html Wed, 03 Feb 2010 03:10:29 GMT Hi have not been growing but a few times , anyhow don't see miracle grow wildly recommended , And want to try some type of mix . Fox Farm is not available for several hours from here, Went to Agway and they did not have Pro Mix ,
So , they did have a Agway brand potting soil contains ( compost , peat , perlite , humus ) but nothing stating feeds for months as MG , got some worm castings & sand .
Lime ? this dolomite lime , this the same type they use on lawns ?
Got a few clones going , started in MG but would appreciate any advice as they will need transplanting soon. % s ?
Thanks ! ]]> seaspice http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/20891-soil-recepies.html mistakes http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/20692-mistakes.html Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:55:08 GMT Fairly new to growing & learning . I realized the importance of enough light the hard way . Been using MG and wonder if this might also be a mistake although girls are doing ok so far. Want to try this Fox Farm soon ,
I was So Happy just to get a little bud , i grew myself ! LOL anyhow there is a great deal of experience on this sight and am really enjoying the sight !
So what do believe are other common mistakes for new growers ? ]]> seaspice http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/soil-organic-cultivation/20692-mistakes.html
