Back To Grow Again 2021

FoliumCumFlore That's my return to growing after almost 20 years of inactivity during which I got graduated, worked, bought a house, had children and all the other commons stuff that humns use to do. Now I'm back to figured out what I'm still able to do. My growing style is in a polyculture green house with many other species (tomatoes, basil, lattuce, black cabbage, etc.) in order to preserve and improve biodiversity. The soil was prepared in february by burying tree branches at 25 cm deep, covered with 5 kg/sq m of cow manure, then a 10 cm deep super soil layer and a final straw mulching on the top. I've been feeding them once a week with molasses (Bionat FL) + Endomychorrize (TNC MycorrHydro). To prevent pests I've been spraying a weekly rotation of: bacilllus thuringensis, beauvaria bassiana and neem oil. The results were stunning: very few presence of spider mites, thrips, etc. No pests also on the other species. The four girls are in the same rised bed, were germinated at the wax moon of april but they showed completely different grow rate and deficiencies, i.e.: OG Kush CBD Auto: good growth, nice green, pre-flowering, coming soon: defoliation. Magic Melon Auto #1: good growth and branchy, pale green, not flowering yet, coming soon: defoliation, nitrogen boost to improve colour Magic Melon Auto #2: stretched growth not branchy, nice to pale green, not flowering yet, coming soon: defoliation, nitrogen boost to improve colour Orange Bud Auto: unsatisfactory growth: very small size, nice to pale green, flowering, coming soon: phosphorus boost. It seems the right hand side of rised bed gave nutrients to the plants more efficiently than the left hand side.

FoliumCumFlore After defoliation secondary leaves sterted getting bigger 28/6: - watered with bionat FL + endomychorrizze + bat guano - buried some 1 tsp kelp meal next to the stalks 01/07: - watered with bionat FL + endomychorrizze - buried some 1 tsp bat guano next to the stalks 30/06: - bacillus thuringensis foliar sprayed due to some spider mites detected. The action decreased the amount of mites.

FoliumCumFlore After 10 days on holidays girls did pretty good in my absence. Flowers fattened a lot and I made a second defoliation to get buds more illuminated.
