All the plants are showing lots of healthy new growth every week!
The Bubba Kush #2 is exploding with growth every day! She is 9 inches tall now and has some massive fan leaves. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this girl turns out since she has raced to the front this quickly.
The White Widows are looking healthy and growing steady but not as quick or as much as the Bubba Kush. White Widow #1 which had the more odd structure is starting to look a little more normal. That initial branch that shot up that only had 1 section per leaf is starting to get caught up to by the more normal looking shoots on the sides. Bent this first branch set of leaves lower almost like a super crop so that it is lower than the 2 other shoots that will produce flowers to help them get more light. WW #3 which was planted in the 30 gallon a little later seems to really like its new home. Looks a lot more stable with multiple new sets of leaves and getting a little bushier vs tall which is good to see.
Cover crop in each container is growing like crazy and it looks like a jungle in there! Really cool to see, but chopped some of the taller cover crop plants that were on the verge of shading any cannabis plants. Probably will leave most of it growing the entire cycle just managing it by cutting back some of the taller plants and turning them into mulch.
Each container got a good watering with the Therm X70, Aloe, Rootwise Mycrobe Complete, Dry Aminos, and the Big 6 Micros + Humic Acid.
Some of the photos that look a little droopy are right after watering, then the photos where they have more turgor and are more upright are a few hours after watering and are looking happy and well fed/watered.
Can't wait to see how much theyll grow in the next week!
Thanks again for following along and adding any input!
@BudBoutique, Same! Wasn't able to train them as much as I'd like due to being unexpectedly out of town quite a bit during this run so curious how theyll turn out as they are almost too tall at this point lol.
You clearly know what you're doing, but I've never seen black or grey mycelium. You sure that mass of "good mycelium" isn't dead, a fruiting body, or a mold? Myc doesn't really lift above the substrate until its trying to fruit, and we wouldn't call the fruiting body myc.
Any chance at ID?
Also, damn, we really are in sync. I grew NLA last, WW now. Happily Minnesota organic grow!
@JazzBerries, I haven't seen it like that either and it didn't even occur that it could have been something besides mycelium and possibly be a mold but you could be right. I was out of town for a week right after this last update and that little ball in the photo has disappeared and there is no sign of it anymore. Plants are thriving still and no signs of mold or anything bad spreading so that is relieving. It definitely was more in the mulch layer versus being in the soil when it was visible though. Going to keep monitoring but it has disappeared at least for now. If it returns or I start seeing the plant getting "sick" I will update more.
Wow that is quite the coincidence lol! Thanks for the comment, and pointing out the mycelium/mold in the photo. Also happy growing to you as well! Will definitely follow along and wish you nothing but positive results to a fellow MN grower!
@Herbie101, Thanks man!! I really enjoy the cover crop too. Not only does it provide a nice visual aesthetic, it helps out in a number of other areas as well. Thanks again for following along!
@CannabisFarmerGuyDude, I love the idea and philosophy begind the living soil thing! I just need to learn my basics first, but its perfect to follow people along who work with it to learn. π I hope all will go well! Best of luck buddy!π±π
@Herbie101, Thanks man!! Appreciate the love and you following along! First time going full "Living Soil" and using Build A Soil products so really excited to see how things turn out and share with you all.
