Everything good is a dang calcium hog.

Different strokes for different folks I guess? I tried their sample kit and it was okay but way too complicated to even get into flower for me. I just used the bottles as a sort of toolkit for individual nutrient needs instead, which seems like what they’re best for to me. Never tried the Spartan one that’s just three parts, but at this point I won’t ever be doing a full company line again.

Just OG&Chem in general need a lot of cal.

May even be an afghan thing. My DLA16 is a cal hog and it is just a bunch of afghans smashed together.

It made me feel like a mad scientist having to mix all that stuff together. Just found it to be more work than it was worth imo.

That’s how I felt when I used the Cyco nutrient line. Lol
So many bottles!
The stuff worked great though.

Totally! Indian Landrace Exchange breaks it down here really well, I have this post saved for reference:

irrazinig 31w

The soil in Afghanistan is pre-dominantly calcareous and close to 50% of the soils of Afghanistan have a pH between 8 and 8.5, about 35% between 8.5 and 9.0 and about 10% between

9 and 9.5.

Afghanistan owes it’s characteristic alkalinity in soil to the climate/environment, Which is extremely dry for the most part, with little to no rains amounting to no more than 380mm/year in any given region.

Such an arid environment begets Physical weathering which is more pronounced in comparison to the rate of chemical and the soil formation itself. And most of the products of such weathering are generally retained within the soil itself.

Since Calcification is the biggest contributor of soil forming process in dry-arid conditions. Low rainfall triggers a seamless cycle of evaporation from the surface and replacement from the water table below.

The water being drawn continuously from the ground deposits contains dissolved calcium bicarbonate and upon the evaporation calcium carbonate is deposited within the soil-body, aiding in the accumulation of the substance, which affects the ph of the soil tremendously.

As far as the nutrition is concerned, there are 2 major and 1 ancillary source of it….

@upstate was just doing some soil prep/remediation based on these sorts of principles as I remember, he was rolling dense lumps of clay soil in manure/castings something like that maybe with lime? Instead of trying to actually mix it plow it whatever big thing, using these traditional soil building techniques. Here’s his follow along and learn thread:

Anyone know the genetics on these? Maybe @Tonygreen will see this? I looked all over and and can’t seem to find out what made this cross. They were freebies from glg. Reaaally nice flavor. Got 3 more too

Lol I thought the same thing when I heard the genetics. But whatever. Good smoke is good smoke. Was wondering if they were glg or Tony’s. Got them with an order for Tony’s gear but don’t remember him working with those genetics and dont remember what the packaging looked like. I’m trying to reveg a couple of these cuz I don’t have any more seeds and didn’t take cuts. It’s got this really clean tasting slightly fruit, slightly gas, and some windex smells depending on the pheno

I think it was an exclusive @Great_lakes_Genetics freebie from Tony and was available starting around the 4/20 sales a couple years ago

Yeah it was a Tony thing, I don’t think he ever made more.

I don’t think that’s correct. Thought gorilla bubble was in there somewhere.
