  Voodoo 6, thanks for the article, VERY informative and will put to good use. Much appreciated and helpful with the ACTUAL topic of this thread. I won't even accuse you of being a door to door salesman of powdered cane molasses. Note the article points out molasses contains almost no NPK and...

  hotjohn, for the third time... "Then don't buy it". Does that sound advertisey enough for ya? If you had actually read the thread you'd already know I've addressed that. I've nothing to sell, I'm interested in how to increase nutrient density and flavor. Found this addendum to be interesting...

Thanks very much for taking the time to explain this, it's very helpful information. Much appreciated!

  Yes, it's perhaps a poor analogy as Hybrid Mode 01 has justly already pointed out. I was merely trying to make the point that it is Epsom "Salt" and many people use it happily and swear by it (as do I). Many others say NEVER put Epsom salts on your plants, or you will kill them. Yes yes, and...

Understood, there are links on their research page to university and other published studies. For the more paranoid (like me) you could try to find them direct. I haven't found anyone trying to debunk anything Murray published. Most of his research was conducted by farmer friends that agreed to...

  Wow, those are gorgeous. Could you please expound more on what you just wrote in layman's terms, what do you mean by...   Fruit per node?...   Differences between single node and multiple node?...   Thanks!

  You're not asking the right question, not just grow produce, but grow MORE NUTRITIONAL AND FLAVORFUL produce. He was a successful physician and had a strong belief that modern farming had led to the reduction in nutritional quality of our produce, animals, and ourselves. This in turn he...

Most of what I've absorbed is certainly no more than once a week. Usually less. A lot of factors to consider though, like root drench or foliar. Strength. Also temperature, plants stop feeding over about 85F. I've found Neptunes Fish & Seaweed sprayed seems to discourage pests considerably...

3 years growing airpots, standard pots, self watering "garden pickers", and in ground. All same seedlings, fed the same, watered the same, hands down the patio pickers outperform my other 3 methods. Why... Because they wick the water and are obviously smarter than me. Next best (for me) are...

  Yeah, that's what it was sold to me as, and they are often mistaken, but they are delicious and have a unique flavor. Trust me, they taste nothing alike and the mushrooms are annuums. Luckily I scored some MOA Bonnet seeds off of Judy last year so I've got the real deal growing alongside...

oops - double post

Update on Mushgon Project   Started late, bad grow season, but managed to get 4 F1 and 7 F2 into production.   Plot thickens, after learning about hybrid growth, I noticed last year my supposedly "pure" Thai Dragons were quite varied. Some erect, some pendant, some normal size, some giants. They...

I've already over a week ago root drenched my airpot/standard containers and given my self watering containers plenty of it and they are loving it. As soon as temps here get below this heat wave I'll be frequently showering the crap out of them with this stuff.   This company didn't come up with...

Sorry about sounding like a paid advertisement but I assure you it isn't. I tend to get a little too excited when I finally find something I'm looking for AND it is an exceptional product too. I paid for the product, not the other way around, and also "pitched" Espoma's, Dr Earth, and Neptune's...

We toil and grow our own, but just because our pods look amazing, does that mean they are actually healthy? I mean nutrition wise. We've all eaten store bought huge glorious looking tomatoes that are tasteless, so looks can be deceiving. The department of agriculture has done studies over...

My method's simple and learned it reading on here somewhere, wouldn't apply for large quantities though. I just cut the meat off and leave the placental mass of seeds, throw them on a paper towel on a paper plate, set them on top of the fridge for a couple weeks. Once their dry, I crumble them...

Thanks for the link Ryan! I appreciate it. That's good info, I wish I had the resources to handle a grow like that. I only grew 39 plants this year (not counting the one's I gave away) and that's about all I can handle taking care of. I save seeds early on from a couple of the best first fruits...

Since no one has answered my question, I've done some preliminary reading and it appears that "yes, each seed in one pod could yield variable results".   If you wanted to try and stabilize the F1 you would statistically want to grow out at least 16 of the F2 in hopes of having one similar to the...

UPDATE:  They're red, and extremely tasty. They have the heat of the dragon but the awesome flavor of the mushroom. I've decided to grow these out and see what I can come up with. So now I've got a lot of reading to do. I understand the F2 is where I'm gonna see all the crazy variations, my...

  I favor "Tender Crop" model Air-Pot. The link I gave you is their home distribution site in UK. I went through a list of about a dozen manufacturers before I settled on these. I live in the US and Smart Pots (fabric bags) happen to be manufactured just a few miles away in my home state, I like...
