Grow Schedule to Date:
Sprout: 4/27/18
Age: Day 16 as of 5/13/18
Updates/Observations:
- I am super impressed with how evenly matched all of these seedlings are. Alphas and the rest are just beginning to shake out which makes my job tough but it is a good problem to have!
- Gave a few waterings of light Recharge but mostly just plain water.
- When I transplanted, I sprinkled some mycorhizal fungi spores in the hole to ensure tap root infection.
- Most of the transplants went very smoothly with no real soil disturbance.
- Day 14 I added a light seeding of Dutch White Clover to serve as my cover crop this run.
- Covered with straw to help with moisture retention, microbial home, carbon return, mulch layer, worm bedding layer, shade layer, etc.
- Soaked thoroughly to full wet the soil. I plan to keep it moist from here on out.
Methodology Update:
I have decided to turn this run into a quick pheno hunt and then run the winning phenotype clones into the no till bed. My plan, now that they are transplanted, is to wait about 1.5 weeks to where I can take clones. After I take and label clones from all the plants, I plan to flip to flower and identify all males. I will then cull all male plants (clones included) and finish these females out in their two gallon homes for fun, growing them naturally to assess their inherent shape and characteristics. Then, after smoking and selecting my favorite plants, I will cull down to just my favorite mother plants. From those plants I will take clones, root, and run them into the 100 gallon Smart Pot where I will finally do a full no till bed run like I have dreamed of!
Thanks for stopping by!

I love both podcasts, I’ve heard Jeff shout out to you! Good luck on the grow. You’re transplanting them into a kiddie pool?? I gotta see this....
Give your mom a hug! ;)
@Scribble,
Good to see another person that listens! Thanks for the support!
Yep it’s not quite set in stone but that is the idea right now!
Stay tuned for next weeks’s updates!

AWWWWWESOME 👏👏👏
It’s gonna be spectacular. All plants will respond to each other, their gonna make food for all where the strongest ones are gonna help the weakest ones.
@CaliGrown,
You are killing me man! Thank you! Wish you were here to try some of this hash! I’m starting to get the hang of things. Just need to crop this next puppy and fresh freeze it.

It sounds intuitive, and it concurs with nature, and I know you know your stuff. But I learned leaving clipped leaves on the dirt makes a home for the wrong kind of bugs. I have seen more bug activity when I allow leaves to collect. Please explain the benefit, and/or your experience with bugs when you mulch. Thanks
@growdoctordc,
You are definitely correct in that it offers a good food source for the micro-arthropods and their population will increase with an increase in food supply/home. I practice insect pest management (IPM) at all times regardless of if I see pests so I spray and use neem and karanja teas regularly throughout the grow cycle.
Returning all parts of the plant (and by extension nutrients) that are not used for production is sort of the backbone of no-till ideology. Without that, too much is removed from the system and imbalances arise. Everything is about balance from what I have found so far. Nothing in excess reduces the ability of pathogens or pests to infiltrate the environment. Sort of a 'no room left at the table' type of methodology.
All that being said, this is my bed's maiden voyage so all I know is what I read. I am all book smart and little street smarts. Now that summer has come, I would like to look into experimenting with beneficial insects as well because I think at that point it is really starting to emulate nature.
Thanks for stopping by!
