Either you're stoned or I am because that post, in this thread, is not making sense to me.

If anyone is interested, a bunch of mags are coming to Big Sky next week on an epic quest to hotbox as many smoke shacks in one day as possible. We have 20 joints, wish us luck.....

Cation exchange is the key with coco.
For the first couple weeks, coco is going to suck calcium and magnesium out of the feed faster than your plants can. And for every positive cal or mag atom (cation) it grabs, it's going to release a negative potassium or sodium anion .
How long this goes on will depend on your water. If you have hard water, it will take less time for your coco to balance cal/mag than if you have RO. Cation exchange is measured in units of mass. You need a certain mass of cal & mag to idealize a certain mass of coco for ganj.


Since I normally don't need a hella lotta medium to start seeds or little plants, I break off chunks from a 5kg bale of GH, Botanicare, or Roots Organic coco, and hydrate it with warm 0/8/16.
Then, over a day or two, I'll flush through a couple more times with Lucas formula with 10ml calmag/gal. This gets me a jump start on the calcium & magnesium cation exchange, while not fucking up my medium by trying to do it all at once with an unbalanced nute program.

When I plant a sprouted seed or transplant a rooted clone into a solo cup 2/3 full of coco, it's not under "full light", so I'll water it in with half strength H3ad (0/6/9).
I'll stay with half H3ad, treating the coco like soil, until the plant gets a good root system. Then I'll top off the coco in the cup, give the little plant more light, and go to full 0/6/9 H3ad Formula, still treating it like soil (letting it almost dry before I feed again). When the plant establishes a good enough root system, I'll start feeding 3x per day, keeping the pot small enough so I don't drown the plant...

PH of feed is very important with coco. With my water, I'll get cal deficiency in most strains I've fucked with unless I run new coco @ 5.6-5.7. Cal is more available below 5.8, mag is more available a tenth or two above ph 5.8.
5.8 is the Golden mean. But I just watch like a hawk and if I see any sign of cal or mag def, I can always fix it with just a tenth or two of ph either way of 5.8. Other than the "jump start" with Lucas I mentioned, I never have to add Calmag, or anything, to H3ad.
I do ph down the water first with dilute phosphoric acid to 6.1-6.2 before I mix in the Micro. Always add Micro to the water first, then Bloom (in case you didn't know that already.) Don't bother measuring coco runoff like soil. It's not worth doing - it's hard to do, and it will fuck you up if you try without a good bit of specialized coco knowledge.

In the last 3 years I've learned that any probs I ever had in coco were due to not feeding often enough soon enough.

Any deficiencies or lockouts, even starting from a seedling or a barely-rooted clone, it just needs more feeds per day. Fuck letting it go dry or even go moist like normal soil. At least 1x/day, 2x or 3x is better.
Coco is hydro. You can't over-water it any more than you can over-water grow rocks.

[Bobby Stainless]

^That.

Got to love Coco.

Followed your words then and still do now. Thanks.

Dang son, wanna restock for the first week in June? Rented a place for a week there, Making an appearance at a conference. Hoping to get into something fun, no snow, blown out fishing holes, what the heck else is a guy gonna do?

As I am new to this form, Just wanted to share information which I have read online in some blogs.
It says that for those who are addicts can quit smoking by starting vaping.

[gravitylover]

All of you in states where it's legal might not understand this but whatever... I finally got to go to a store in a place where it's legal to just walk in and buy weed. It was sooo cool I kept laughing that things are the way they are now and I could do this.Even though it was a little bit expensive it was a 35 year dream coming true which made it worth it.

Any info on stores in the Sonoma area? Can a out of state resident stroll in and buy pot like CO?

If you have the time to get across the bridge in to SF you should check out Barbary Coast. They provide plenty of complimentary supplies(dab rigs, vaporizers, rolling papers etc) in their lounge to enjoy your purchases if you choose to chill, work, have a meeting or watch a game in their lounge. All individuals over 21 can purchase legally in CA regardless of state or nation on your documentation.

Yeah as long as the local jurisdiction allows it you're good to go. There's a few around Sonoma: https://www.google.com/search?client...,lf:1,lf_ui:10

Cannabis users needed up to twice the sedation for medical procedures, small study says

CNN)People who regularly use cannabis may need two times the level of sedation required by nonusers when undergoing medical procedures, a small-scale study finds. Fentanyl, midazolam and propofol, three sedation drugs commonly used during endoscopic procedures, were compared in the research.

With "continued increase in legalization and use of cannabis, the field of anesthesia and sedation needs further studies with greater depth," wrote the authors of the study, published Monday in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.

Wider use follows legalization

Marijuana has gained popularity around the globe in recent years due, in part, to changing laws. Between 2007 and 2015, use of marijuana increased 43% in the United States, where an estimated 13.5% of adults use cannabis, according to a United Nations report. Meanwhile, cannabis use around the world was estimated to include 183 million people, or nearly 4% of the adult population, in 2015.

How does increasing cannabis use affect medical care? Researchers at Community Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado, explored one small area of medical care: sedation. They examined the medical records of 250 patients who received endoscopic procedures between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2017 -- years after the state legalized recreational marijuana in 2012.

Comparing cannabis users to nonusers, they found that patients who reported smoking or using edibles on a daily or weekly basis required 14% more fentanyl, 20% more midazolam and 220% more propofol to achieve optimum sedation for routine procedures, including colonoscopies. For example, it took 13.83 milligrams of propofol, on average, for 225 nonusers to float into unconsciousness, compared with 44.81 milligrams needed, on average, by 25 cannabis users.

The study authors note that some sedatives have side effects and the higher the dose, the greater likelihood for problems. Asking questions about cannabis use during intake "can be an important tool for planning patient care and assessing both medication needs and possible risks during endoscopic procedures," they wrote.

Too few study participants

Dr. Roderic Eckenhoff, a professor of anesthesia at the University of Pennsylvania, said the study is interesting but lacked rigor. "I would consider this a pilot study that maybe somebody should pick up on and do a more complete trial," said Eckenhoff, who was not involved in the research.

One factor that bothered him was that the study was retrospective: The researchers simply examined medical records and compared whatever amount of sedation was used for each patient instead of controlling exact amounts of sedation and comparing the effects.

What is considered "enough" depends a lot on the individual providers and surgeons involved, Eckenhoff said. This "uncertainty" combined with a small number -- just 25 -- of cannabis-using patients makes the results "really tenuous at best," he said.

Similar results have not been seen in previous research, he said: "Even if you give someone propofol for a long time, they get a little tolerant to it, but not by 200%." Although upward of 200% "resistance" may be "possible, I'd be surprised if that held up in a bigger study," he said.

Finally, he noted that patients are not always reliable and don't necessarily tell their doctors about "everything else that they take," and this may have influenced the results: "Some people who use marijuana also take other drugs recreationally."
