She's done, and wow she had some heavy, solid buds. Nice sweet smell that's currently overpowering the dry tent with the Skunk. I had to use a saw to get through the trunk lol. No wet weight since the branches are attached, dry weight and smoke report to come in the next week or two. 8 Weeks was listed as max flower time, and I really don't want to try drying even fatter buds with my current dry situation not being cool enough. Full 8 weeks +1 day of flower.
Tent is already cleaned and seeds picked for the next grow. Going to try to make some manifolds I think. I also got little camera so I can make time lapse videos of growth and get a better idea of how they react to the environment.
@NSCanna, That's incredible! I cant wait to see the this new grow!
Thank you so much on your insight, After you suggested buildasoil and mentioned he said something about the earth boxes with airstones, I went on a buildasoil YouTube binge lol
I've now seen all of the 10x10 season 3 episodes and FAQs, I watched family farms season 1, And now I'm a good way into season 1 of the 10X10 series. And I did in fact stumble on the FAQ he did that answered my air stone question. So thank you again I've learned sooooooo much in the last couple days.
@PhunkyPhallus, My new grow which hasn't been posted yet has a lot of different cover crops. Yarrow, basil, red/white clover, nettles and borage. Yarrow and nettles are for allelopathy, clover is for nitrogen fixing, and the others are for chop n' drop mulch. My previous Earthbox grows just used the mulch covers.
My soil is full of red wigglers, soil mites and springtails. I try to mimic nature as much as possible and use a microscope to check soil microbiology a few times every grow. This will be my third grow in the same soil, but I'm probably going to have to change it out after 4 or 5 as the worm castings start taking over and you end up with what is basically a worm bin after awhile.
@NSCanna, excellent response. I’ve been watching buildasoil for a few weeks now and I’ve watched a good amount of his videos. But I haven’t watched the “Clackamas Coots” video until just now. I also haven’t stumbled on the video talking about the plant becoming dependent on the stone. Thank you for your response.
I’m growing in 50/50 Happy frog/ocean forest too. I’m just looking to make the most of my available space but I’m also interested in being able to reuse my soil as it’s honestly quite expensive. I’m still learning about no till.
Do you have worms in your soil?
Do you grow nitrogen fixing crops before doing another grow?
