CADMANs Cannabis Thread!

Yeah thats the one. its how the earthboxes suggest inoculating the rez. Intro to Probiotic Gardening: Probiotic Wellness Garden | EarthBox®.

You can also cover the top so it is anerobic and use bokashi to fast compost right on top as you go. Its cool stuff.

I believe you can make it, but purchasing a some as mother culture and expanding it is a good option. https://www.smilinggardener.com/soil-food-web/how-to-make-effective-microorganisms

Well I had to make rice for work tonight anyways so:

Making Lactobacillus Serum its 1 cup of Brown Rice wash water. I’ll let this sit in a dark warm cabinet for 7 days .

If anyone reading this wants to make this as well, I’m following this: https://growingorganic.com/ipm-guide/how-to-make-lactobacillus/

Oooh. I like this mad science you’re pulling here. I’m gonna read up and looking forward to seeing it after the 7 days.

UPDATE:: SOOOOOOoooooo since it’s been a while that I’ve said anything about the BOG Sour Strawberry :strawberry: grow… Here is something…

Bad news: Everything in the tent died.
Nothing left, Heart broken :broken_heart: :sleepy: :cry:

Good News: I collected aprox 45 very immature seeds from the BOG Sour Strawberry :strawberry: Female that was pollinated with the best BOG Strawberry Male from this grow… and I’ve been attempting to pop them ALL in order to get this Run back on track…

More good news: :+1: a Single seed outta the lot pop up into life at day 3 in paper towel…
I quickly planted this baby & been keeping it in my DIY humidity Dome and keepin it warm…


The BEST news:: a few days later (today) 2 or 3 more Poped up into life…


Now I’ve got 3 maybe more :grin: Baby BOG Sour Strawberry F2 :strawberry: seedlings & 36 more seeds still soaking in an attempt to re start this adventure…

Ps. I DID actually keep 1 single seed from the Orginal batch of BOG Sour Strawberrys :strawberry: so I’ll be popping that 1 today as well. ( keeping 1 seed was a backup plan, I should have kept 2 in reserve )

The plan:

1 Orginal seed ( once it pops ) will be either the Mother Or Father of 1 of the BEST F2s, Resulting in the most Diverse Orginal Genetics available :grinning:
( this is technically BX1 from the F2 baby back to the Orginal mother, in seed form, correct me if I’m wrong here? )

F2s will be pollinating another BEST Selection of the F2s, Resulting in the Best Genetics of the F2s that are available :grinning:

Wish me some luck this round…
I’ve never had so many problems before in my grows, ever. The last two have been a bloody disaster :flushed: :confused: :tired_face:

There’s an infinite supply, and it’s completely free.

I’m not sure that’s correct… a backcross is breeding the F2 generation back to one of the original parents, but unless Sour Strawberry is a true-breeding strain the F1 seed you’re popping now is not one of the original parents. It looks like Sour Strawberry is a polyhybrid even in the F1s, so as far as what breeding your F2s back with another F1 will do… well, it’ll stabilize some genetics from the line in some way, but it’s tough to say whether that’ll be better or worse than breeding with another F2. I might be wrong about this, but that’s my understanding anyway.

Ok cool. Thanks :blush:. That’s why I’ll be making seeds from both F1 x F2 & F2 X F2, just incase.
I’m sure it’s likely to benefit positively more then doing nothing I suppose.

Indeed, either way it’s some sort of preservation of the line… and probably will keep some of the pest resistance you ended up being forced to select for, so there’s that. :wink:

Haha I like that… I guess we can also say that the ones that are growing definitely will have vigor in them since they did grow from seeds that are very immature, the only ones that have grown so far came outta seeds that are super pail and I had to remove the seed shell myself, the whole Seedling was Platinum white, I really didn’t think they where going to make it. Yayyy for Vigor & Pest restiance

Much luck in this new batch, hoping for the best after all this effort you already put … beer3|nullxnull

sure giving it the old college try their @cadman! one thing though, the seeds from george and I would be f2 meaning these next seeds are f3, to be making f4, just wanted to let you know for labeling purposes brother

Oh OK excellent, I didn’t realize this. Thank you for letting me know it’s important.

And I’m glad about this too, collectively we are brining the line forward more and more, although it’s a slow process. Yayy for making F4s

I’m sure they got rid of the gnats, just hope they don’t get rid of you, or who ever smokes your weed. It’s bad shit, made for unoccupied spaces only. Not trying to give you a hard time, I used them too, before someone set me straight. Consider it a public service announcement!

NO PEST STRIPS

DDVP/Dichlorvos/No Pest Strips are no good for cannabis cultivation. Dichlorvos is a volatile cholinesterase inhibiting organophosphate.
So volatile it is primarily used as a fumigant. It is a proven carcinogen. A 2010 study found that each 10-fold increase in urinary concentration of organophosphate metabolites was associated with a 55% to 72% increase in the odds of ADHD in children. It conclusively binds to DNA although it’s mutagenic properties are still being debated.
The FDA has been restricting it’s usage more and more every year as new information has come out. According to the MSDS and most labels- It is NEVER to be stored around children, food, seed, or fertilizer.

It was Restricted in the European Union after 2002.

From the NO PEST STRIPS Label- Always read the Label- especially when applying to your medicine. - bottom of page is a link-

NOT FOR USE IN OCCUPIED HOMES-
Do not be in the presence of strips in unoccupied areas for more than 4 hours -in garage, shed, attic, or other normally unoccupied area. (not including food areas)
Only use pest strips is the area will be unoccupied for 4 months.
Do not use in the food/feed processing or food/feed manufacturing or food/feed service establishments (you can’t legally hang this in a restaurant!)

A little article on dichlorvous- http://www.wired.com/2014/01/cdc-war...e-pest-strips/

As you say- The poison is in the dose, and dichlovous doesn’t take much to become poison.You couldn’t be more spot on with that statement. But obviously some things are far more toxic than others, and considering you aren’t allowed to be in the same room as this pesticide, handle it without gloves, breathe near it without a respirator, nor are you supposed to use it near anything that is considered food or will grow to become food I would never, ever consider putting a no pest strip anywhere near your plants. It volatilizes off the strip, into the air, and onto the plant, which you then either oxidize or consume. The combustion and inhalation of organophosphates aren’t even studied, as they included on the label not to smoke or use tobacco when using dichlorvos, so they don’t even need to further research the nasty effects it can have on you when lit on fire and inhaled. It’s toxic enough on it’s own through dermal exposure As you know oxidation and combustion completely change the molecular makeup of these chemicals and can make them much more toxic.

And on that subject I strongly advise anyone who uses Sevin outside on their property, to stop using Carbaryl immediately. Bayer did a study in the 80’s about toxicity with regards to tobacco smoke, and through the study, found it to be extremely toxic to those who use cannabis, though not so bad for those just using tobacco. Apparently when cannabis binds to the cannabinoid receptors, it allows the carbaryl to more easily disrupt the cholinesterese system. Considering that organophosphates work with the same mode of action, it would be reasonable to assume the NO PEST STRIPS/DDVP are also more toxic to cannabis users as well. Pesticide companies don’t have to warn you of this, because cannabis is a Schedule 1 substance. If it were schedule two, they would have to further research the link between cannabis users and increased toxicity from cholinesterese inhibitors. If I forgot to mention before, although atropine may be used as an emergency antidote for acute toxicity/poisonings. Most damage done to the nervous system is irreversible.

Stay away from Organophosphates, Organochlorides and Carbamates if possible folks- there’s so many safer options out there that really do work.Pyrethroids for example are a great place to start. We’re trying to make people medicine, not poison them or ourselves.

This was filmed November 1st, 2018. but it was posted online 2 months ago from potent ponics.

It’s Subcool talking about Overgrow.com

I watched this for the 1st time tonight. My Gosh Subcool is such a rad dude, I love his way of thinking and his attitude…

Subcool Quote " Overgrow is responsible for the Modern Day Cannabis movement in my opinion "

Makes me wanna pop the Subcool strains I’ve got like:

Vortex F2 by Subcool
Blueberry fr dutch passion D.J. Short X Vortex F2
