I've decided to move away from synthetic nutrients, not only for obvious health reasons, but I found myself relying on a feed regimen, spending more time calculating and mixing nutes instead of paying attention to what the plant actually needs. So after following a ton of videos online I decided to give organics a go with a method used my Mr. Flogrow 420 https://youtu.be/TxPtYIxAnVs using the living soil method. So I mixed 60/40 FoxFarm Ocean Forest with Happy Frog, added Perlite and Organic Rice Hulls. Filled 4 3 Gallon Vivosun Fabric pots with soil leaving 1 inches from the top, then dumped the contents into my mixing tub and reserved the remaining for later. I then measured out the Nature's Living Soil Organic Autoflower Concentrate (by doing a bunch of math that you can see in the video by Mr. Flogrow I've smoked too much to bother with explaining the conversion); then filled the pots to the 2 inch line and placed a starter pot filled with the reserve FFOF/HF mix, finished filling with the compost mixture then topped off with the FFOF/HF. I then mixed a solution of one gallon 6.0 ph water with a Nematode solution and drenched each pot equally, I placed the pots in the 3X3 side of the tent under the SF2000 and monitored the temps and humidity for 24 hours. While this was going on I dropped my seeds into a jar of ph 6.0 water and placed into my dry tent in the dark with daytime temp of 67 and night time temp of 62 and RH of....well it's in a jar of water 100. The next day 3 of 4 seeds had fully popped tap roots and 1 looked like it was starting to break the shell so I put them in a damp papertowel and put that in a plastic bag and placed that in the dry tent.
On the 24th 3 of the 4 seeds were over .25 inches long so I dropped them into their forever pots, on the 25th the last girl finally went down, I put humidity domes over them and placed Rice Hulls on the top soil to help retain moisture, using a spray bottle to moisten.
At this point still just plain water using the water bottle to spray to keep the rice hulls down and moist, once the popped I pulled the domes and began giving them a little more water with the bottle and pouring about 100 mil around the edge of the pot. On the 1st of November I gave them 300 Mil of water that was enriched with EB Stone Fish Emulsion with Kelp 4-1-1
