New round. 4 seeds planted. 4 seeds germinated. 3-20 gallon and 1-30 gallon Grassroots fabric pots. 3 of 4 (2-20 gal, 1-30 gal) filled with new BuildASoil 3.0. The 4th pot is a 20 gal Grassroots pot with round 2 of living soil. I re-amended this with BAS Craft Blend, Big 6 micronutrients, 12 seed cover crop, and all 4 pots topped with ½"-1" of CoWoCo worm castings and Blue Oyster straw mulch. All 4 seeds planted in Solo cups with a 50/50 mixture of BAS 3.0 and Fox Farms Happy Frog on 12/22/22. The first Venus Blue broke the soil surface 36 hours later, and all 4 within 48 hours. Day 5, and they are all 4 about 2" tall and appear healthy.
@mlsheahan,
You are in the right place, easy to ask questions here and lots of ppl ready to answer. You got the right idea, keep reusing your soil, you got this!
20gal pot !!! Holy God. I gotta look thru your other stuff. But that's insane lol biggest I've seen yet.
Definitely following I got the room should I try this if I can ??
Best of luck on these girls . They look great!!!!
I'm back again lol.
I saw u mention a foliar spray before lights out.
Curious what exactly ur using ? I'm sry if mentioned, and why at night ?
I've always kinda kept to the no moisture at night thing. So only spray when I have them out from under the lights.
Thx again for sharing ur process!!
Since it is all organic enzymes, you can actually foliar spray Thrive while in flower. I don't, but they say you can without herm to either the consumer or the plant. However, I do add it to my soil drench watering maybe once a week at the rate of 2oz per gallon of water.
@mlsheahan, sweet , thx for the reply . Definitely going to look into it. I use a spray usually when I pull them out from under the light to feed or trim . Would be so much easier to just once or twice a week spray right as Their getting lights out. I'm using "tps-canopy boost" not sure if it's even close to what u use. I'd hav to compare now I know the name.
This stuff seems to work magic when I see alil lightness in the leaves give a spray n next day they look happy again. But I don't like to spray this that much, not at all after veg either.
Sry to ramble there. But again thx for sharing what u do, it's looking AMAZING .!!
@Grow4Releaf, regarding the part about keeping moisture down with lights out, I run multiple fans that blow directly into the canopy, and do my best to defoliate just enough to prevent leaves from laying on top of each other. I've not had problems with moisture.....yet.
@mlsheahan,
That is good stuff, pumpkin ferment really dumps a lot of juice! It is better for flowering, even to transition to flowering. Just use a very small amount of brown rice vinegar with that, balance and cleanser. Also if you strain out the juice from that pumpkin FPJ then put the solids back into glass container with 2/3 water and cover for 3 months, you will get a beautiful pumpkin vinegar, could speed it up if you add a couple tablespoons of raw vinegar with the "mother". That will help create the pH for the vinegar and get it moving faster. You will see a film on top form, that will be the SCOBY, symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. That is when you know you have kick ass vinegar. All good if not though, may just take more time.

@TheFattyMcCoy, I used a whole plant fermented pumpkin tea just this week. Plants are looking great, but I really don't know how much benefit it had provided yet. They were growing healthy and happy already.
