So far just spraying with water, double grape look like it’s dud,
#1 had best tap root growth , didn’t do best coming out but I noticed it still have the best roots
Anyway light up to 20% 18/6 will start to LST in couple days week most and get them ready for the scrogg, bare in mind only 2 will make it rest will either be cloned or put right away
Not much going on, little stunt after repotting but that should wear off through this week, outer section got nice mycelia going and only been up for a week :) apart water and dr forest super 8 no other additives :) was dry inert lumps of soil , + coco coir and mulch lead to a beautiful creation
Another week passed, thinking I could of done littler harder on nutes :)
So I amended my starter mix for next grow, bare in mind am using plain mix, top dressed with dry amends, live worm castings, dolomite lime and rock dust
Next soil mixes will have aquatic clay, horticultural sand, biochar, rock dust, dolomite lime, added grow by grow to monitor any beneficial / negative impacts
Yesterdays & Todays pics
Did heavy defo, will be flipping in day or two
Silt, Sand,Clay building my own specific living soil
So plants arent as vigorous as in fully amended soil with regular feeding
No feed just water 71 days
Next soil test will have clay & be little richer on nutes
Did some light defoliation prior flipping, 2 days ago I flipped them to 12/12
Considering doing banana tea , also they drink way way more , about to refil again in a week /2 water level sits at 5-10%
Top dressed with fresh casting then tea made from same castings from my own worm bin, couple days after top dressed with potash & followed with big defoliation & watered in Sprouted Seed Tea from mung beans & alfalfa, had little nute deficiency but I think I sorted it sure it was sulphur, apart that just watering, did whole veg on one reservoir , now 3rd refill soon to be due during flower 😅 girls thirsty
Top dressed potash, watered it in with compost tea lightly so it doesn’t leach into the reservoir. Refilled the reservoir twice 1:5 -5l compost tea & 5l distilled water. Also top dressed with live worm castings
Colour is coming back on, getting light tip burn so I know am hitting it . Forgot the day count 😂 who cares anyway when mamas ready they’ll tell me …
aka DIY soil hunt + 6 dry amends that should last me couple years comparing to salt feeders :) no offence I fully support salts as well as any style of botany! Also started to cook soil batch trial no2 it has light proportion of aquatic clay :) and the 6 amends am using + biochar which I will implement with sand at some point
So as am coming close to my first proper grow , well kinda “first”
Am trialing my soil mainly than growing
First grow was testing environment
Current grow testing pot and first batch of custom soil
3rd grow testing upgraded version of pot & 2nd batch of soil which will way outperform this one or be totally shit 😂🧑🔬
Overal cost in lecky is under 2oz
Overal cost of nutes per plant about street price of a gram if I do more than 10 grows
& distilled water
My main consideration for hands off approach is humidifier that shit needs refilling every 2-4 days depending on usage
Soil batch 1.0 is growing some mixed clover, alfalfa, chamomile its light mix ratios comparing to upcoming one.
