Eggs shells I have and warm casting & bee pollen I don't !
I didn't see any worm casting at Homedepot and never heard of Bee Pollen being sold. can U buy these 2 at Homedepot ?

Hopefully not over 20 bucks.

Why would you add USED potting soil, if you have new soil? Add some lime to the mix. You can look at my signature for my soil mix which works good for me.

I didn't want to throw the used stuff out intil I am ready and that be spring and don't see the harm in reusing the stuff if I can mix Helpful stuff into it..
Besides I had to hear the O'lady alittle after I bought it :hubba: Xmas Xmas Xmas just goooooooooo Awaaay..

I never use old soil always better to start fresh id say then theres no chance of contamination by the old soil like if you had a salt build up in the old soil why put that in your new stuff?

Ouch wish I could pass one off to you..
Money can be tight and some times have to spend at a spare moment or else..:hubba: wife spends it.

Got any CFL's? if so throw some of those in the room to help with Flowering.. !!

That why I am Growing for Myself so I can save Money on Buying from the streets and Have Way Better Smoke then the Crap that comes from Mexico and to Buy that Chronic Crap isn't in My Budget and I can see Paying 60 for a 1/8 of some Tasting Bud and the High isn't that Gooood.

Mexican weed is alot better then some of that Chronic.!

..Pistil (hairs) color has little to do with maturity or harvest time...
Go to our "Harvesting/curing" section, and 'read-up' ..

Farmers do not dig up a field and replace all its soil

Did a search on limestone and found that my landload had about 7 of those Pots that gotton broken and he had tossed them about amonth.
Oh well, Grandnite is small and will help with drianage too enless Limestone is better..
