cardrona Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Cucumbers are great for a flowering fertiliser They are really rich in potassium calcium magnesium and phosphorus and are getting picked at the same time your plants are starting to flower Plant the seeds at the same time as you do your herbCut them up just like you do on a sandwich and place on top of the soil or just underneathor soak them cut up in water and make a tea.That and wood ash from a clean timber fire old hardwood is best is all you will need ..Thats all I ever use and it always has a great smell and taste .And no chemicals just toss a shovel or 3 around each See the table below for in depth analysis of nutrients: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus), raw, Nutritive value per 100 g.

_Puff_Tough_ Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Should place fucking herkimer diamonds surrounding your plant, the vibrations emanating from the crystals will make your buds 2000% thicker and will make any woman who smokes the nugs want to jump on your D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cucumbers are great for a flowering fertiliser They are really rich in potassium calcium magnesium and phosphorus and are getting picked at the same time your plants are starting to flower Just don't forget to fertilise your cucumber plants with a rich source of potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus... or you wont have any cucumbers to cut up and stick around your plants. Or you can cut out the middle vegetable and just fertilise the cannabis plants directly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro de pacas Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Just out of curosity how deep would I need the soil if I was to put a garden bed inside, at least 18 inches I was thinking , and would it be better to put it in a big tub, straight on the concrete, or a shed with no floor?That's where I'd like to end up, bringing the outside inside, like we did 30 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
