Today marks the official kick off of the experiment with Soil Microbs. Xtreme Gardening Products, and Hygrozyme Products and Green Planet Products
Hygrozyme Products will be added at the specified ratio's throughout the entire grow.
Xtreme Products will be applied at planting, and reapplied at transplant.
Green Planet Product will be introduced in the 3rd week of veg as per additive recommendation.
4 Clones planted today, one of which was treated with Beneficial Bacteria and Fungi. 3 were not. The best 2 of the 3 non treated clones will be chosen to use to compare with the treated clone. The treated plants roots were misted with B1 SuperThrive to wet everything, then Azos and Mykos were dusted all over the roots, and the layer of soil they were set down on was also dusted with both.
The clones were planted in party cups. I burned little drainage slits using a lighter in the bottoms of each cup. The party cups were used to provide a smaller and easier to fill root zone, so that when they get transplanted the root ball won't be flimsy and break apart. It will be exciting come transplant time to compare root balls between the treated and untreated clones.
I'm hoping to maintain a 1/2 strength feed regiment with Remo Nutrients 2x per week. So they will receive a normal recommended dose, but split in half per week.
In a week I am harvesting my 4x4 tent. Then it will be cleaned to make way for the new crop.
I'm hoping this journal will be fun and entertaining for those that visit. My main focus is the Fungi and Bacterial side by side comparison. So I'm hoping this will be informative and I also hope that we can see some serious benefits to the addition of soil microbial amendments.
Let's rock! 🙏👍👊😎
Mid Week Update:
Clones are still alive but some are looking a tad rough. My tap water comes out at 200ppm, so if not for that my nutrient mix would have been 392 ppm which is far more suitable for young clones than 592! The Oreoz are looking the best. Today they were watered with 6.3 pH water. I'm changing the pH to 6.3 for the entire grow as i've become aware that beneficial bacteria thrive better in a pH between 6.2 and 6.5 So i will do a 6.3 pH and try to maintain that consistency.
The 3 treated plants are all looking really good and are taking off ahead of the rest.
@frenchysmoker,Thanks man! I hope it's the real Oreoz but it's likely not. These new gen seed companies seem to be shotty breeders and full of shit most of the time.
