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!

@randyjustice,
Thanks man! I am a little bummed because there is just too much nitrogen in the soil either from that last tea or the soil itself but oh well! I’ll do better next time.
