July 3: added another layer of bamboo spacers. Added Gaia Green Power Bloom and a handful of malted barley as a top dressing. The malt provides some P and K but the main benefit apparently are enzymes such as phosphatase that allows the microbes and ultimately the plant to access phosphorus. The idea to use malt is from Clackamas Coot and I can easily get malt from my regular job client at the malting plant. 👍
@NorthernChemist, yeah, and I’ve stumbled upon this great way to do the staking. Starting poles are at close to 45 degrees rather than vertical and it makes all the difference. Bamboo cross pieces are easily friction fit and not really carrying a load. Seems stable with the peony ring still in place and seems to work.
@NorthernChemist, yeah I like it. Seems like the best way to handle photoperiods both indoors and out. This was a 16 cola attempt, and the later start photoperiods I will keep to 8 colas. This certainly maximizes cloning opportunities.
@MiyaguiOkPolilla; you’re welcome.. Yes, sodium, and going a step further it’s actually the ratio of sodium to Cal-mag (sodium adsorption ratio, SAR). My well water has super high SAR which is very bad for the soil.
@Northern_Ent, oh, muchas gracias por esa info. Nunca me he fijado realmente en los niveles de sodio, pero me imagino lo malo que puede llegar a serlo tanto como para nosotros 🍀🍀🍀
@JohnnyBarrel, yeah it’s looking great. Bubble OG is actually the biggest of the three big manifolds, followed by Candyland and then this one. This is a God Bud cross so it should be good. Cheers.
