Get ready as The Dude & Scotty real talk some serious grow. Look out every Monday for a new hour of grow talk at 4:20. Come get blazed with us and talk about growing some serious dank. This week we will be talking... Grow Talk Questions: 1. From: El Diablo: 12:00 build a soil Dear, Sir Dude & Mr. Real, I tried to order **Vital Earth Manna-Mix** at my local grow shop. But It seems Vital Earth is having problems with distribution. Sunlight Supply's has discontinued Vital Earth Manna Mix and will No longer be carrying it. I contacted my local grow shop and Vital Earth, here's the reply emails from both. Just a heads up it could be hard to find vital earth manna-mix in the future for some grows. Are there any other pre-mixed growing medium/soil that you would recommend since Manna-Mix is not available. Or should I just start mixing my own.

In my opinion, the molasses bundled in Recharge is all the sugar your root zone will ever need. From Eddie: Got to say I'm digging the 3 show days a week. Questions on Pre-ripening And ripening nutrients. Ladies are in the beginning of week 4 of flowering and I know that's perfect for pre-ripeness. So I have got Mendocino Avalanche from Real Growers and know to use this in wk 5,6 and 7 and I also have Canna PK13/14 an Canna Boost what would guys use?

Growing in A Coco soil mix. Thanks for being ther for all of us. From NY-Mike: How much yellowing is normal towards the end of flowering? Around week five I began to yellow on two of eight plants. While watering I trimmed the extremely yellow lea
