The Orinoco sprouted on April 27th. She was a smaller, underdeveloped, unstriped seed but I planted her directly into the pot without germinating. She sprouted 3 days later and I have no complaints. Before she was planted, the soil and cover crop received a compost tea. It consisted of Oregonismxl and fresh homemade worm castings. The soil is the best I could find locally. It's just ocean forest from fox farms, heavily inoculated with xtreme gardenings mykos and azos.
Yesterday I started another tea for the pot. This time with less strength as to not burn the seedling. The tea consisted of:
.5 gallons of water
15ml grokashi
15ml fresh worm castings
7ml Be-1 organic pellets
1ml Be-2 humic/kelp mix
All mixed and aerated with an air stone. I'll know later today or tomorrow on how good my tea was by how the girl reacts to it.
I will be cutting down on my bottle use. Going to let the mycelium and eventually have worms in the pot breaking stuff down building nutrients. I also plan to make Korean natural farming nutrients like fpj, ffj, lab and more.
Any suggestions from experienced no till/ knf farmers is welcome. My next purchase will be an automated watering system.
I like your natural environment approach. Even if they grow a bit slower than conventional methods, im sure they will be healthier plants. Gonna follow this grow
@beadyeyes, i dont think this way of growing will be slower. it just got a slow start because the seed wasnt fully developed and strong. she is on schedule though. and she will be a monster in a couple months
@fabhz, sorry I havnt tried it yet. I purchased it looking for a high flavored CBD strain that will still get me high. I'm hoping I chose the correct strain haha
Thats some great training you got here. About the worms you got a thread here http://boards.cannabis.com/threads/is-it-good-to-put-worms-in-your-soil.169080/
180watt led is more than enough for one plant. Shes all set
