Soil mix: adopted and slightly modified from damaclese super soil.

1/3 pine fines
1/3 perlite
1/3 greensand
1/3 vemiculite
1/3 compost
1/3 worm castings
1/3 truface
1/3 slow realease fertilizer
1/3 garden soil
1/3 steer manure (oops I mean horse, sorry Richard)
1/3 sharp sand
1/4 biochar
1 dash cinnimon, humic acid, blood meal, bone meal, micro nutrients and 1 1973 penny

1/2 soil heated to 180 degrees for 3 hours
1/2 frozen in liquid nitrogen for 3 hours
1/2 unsterlized
treated with mychorzial



Lighting by compact florescent 14 hours on 9 off. Fertilizing with 10% solution of recycled Canadian full bodied beer using a bottom watering pot covered in aluminum foil. I ordered a custom hand blown aqua globe in the Sooners crimson and cream. Air pumped by into bottom of pot through 3 air stones (per Harveyc). Humidity tent (quilt bag - Patty) with bottom heat of 81.25 degrees. Using a personal oscillating fan for circulation, a Co2 generator bathing foliage with carbon dioxide, and a Cd player softly billowing Macaw and Howler monkey jungle calls.

TT post if you do. I have a few tobacco plants coming and would like to try to make a cigar. I'm off them for a while now but will take them up again in late summer.......Don't ask it relates to hunting and fishing seasons.

I was away to Thailand on 31/3 and just got back 2/4 nite, so I just got to see your thread and got caught by you! :ha:

Haha.. If an idiot smoke like 6 big cgrs a day, he ought to be able to spot something, rite..?

Olivia Serie G ( African Cameroon Wrapper-Nicaraguan Filler-Nicaraguan Binder) are ok with their Cameroon wrappers but a tab mild for me. If you like your Cameroons, try the Perdomo Reserve Cameroon. Best size is their R (Robusto-5x54). Exclaimed to be the world's best Cameroon by the Robb Report.
'Nuff said! :ha:

Can't have too many 1/2's or 1/3'rds. Twice last week while watching basketball my wife said "There's 2 quarters. Right?" Of course I just said "Yes dear."

A little bit, but smoked a lot of arrowana - never exhaled though. :discocrazed: Don't tell Tanee, she's been chasing me around the back yard.
