Compost tea turned out well, let it go for 26 hours total and geared it towards fungal. Also took some soil samples several days later around the stalks and found a lot of nematodes and protozoa which is what you want to see. Lots of different types of nematodes so what your looking for are the bacterial feeders (there are charts online that show you how to identify them). Mycorrhizae can be identified by it's dark colour, uniformity and segmented nature. Testate amoebas live in a translucent shell like a snail and are easy to spot but hard to spot moving due to my shitty microscope, but look for the tentacles. Also found some eggs with movement inside, no idea what they are but they have vacuoles and flagella.
She is really getting sticky and smelly now; berries with herb notes. You can see the resin stretching over the trichomes in the last pic.
No signs of senescence yet so I'm not going to feed them, they should have plenty of food anyway as this is a second run of the same soil.
@LastOpus, Thanks much=) Training is where the fun starts and if you have the time and patience you can make them any shape you want before going to flower. I'm still learning and in another few weeks I'm going to do a major leaf strip I've seen some folks do with good results.
HI NS Canna, love your plant, i am growing GMP also and i was wondering how you are getting such clear images of the trichomes? Is there a tool that you are using as i would also like to take these pictures. many thanks in advance for your help.😊
Hey great grow. Im running the same strain now its in drying process. Does this plant give off that hay smell for the first few days? Ive had experience where some strains have it and goes away after a few days ive also had it not go away, as well as delt with plants that never gave that smell off. Do you rmeber that happening to you with this strain. Its smelled great when chopped but the next day the hay smell came. Its been about 2 3 days and it still present. I get the sweet aroma when i crack into it still though. Also my environment in dryin room isnt ideal its at 70 degrees and 50% humidity i know 60 and 60 is preferred but i cant get the area down to that temp yet im waiting for the weather to cool down
