This weeks entry will be done in stages over the course of the week. So i will update and complete the week's diary when I'm done. Pictures and Nutrient info to come later today.
I've decided to modify the experiment to a degree. Since the benefits of microbs was clearly evident, i've decided to not use the treated clones, and opt to use the non treated clones instead, BUT, ALL plants will be treated with microbs rather than just 1 from each strain. The decision was because the microbs were so much more robust and grew way faster, that it will be impossible to maintain the canopy uniformity.
Hygrozyme was applied at full strength, as was HygroBen. Hygrozyme is a beneficial enzyme that eats up dead organic matter and turns it into a usable plant nutrient that the plants can absorb, such as dead, dried out or rotton root matter. HygroBen is another beneficial bacteria which will be applied at the recommended rate of once a week.
Nutrients have been mixed and ph'd and is soaking into and distributing throughout the coco. When it's all absorbed i will begin the transplant. Mykos and Azos will be dusted on the root ball, as well as in the transplant hole.
The plants look like shit because i have been purposely under feeding them in to try to slow their growth down because i was not anticipating a 9 week finish on the last crop, so i ended up behind by a week. Some are also suffering from over watering and a touch of root rot. That was accidental. I have a AC Infinity humidifier and i use the hose to pump in the humidity. Well the hose drips onto the floor where the solo cups were so they wicked up the water on the floor and i hadn't noticed it, Fock!
Every plant was treated with Mykos, and Azos. Mykos was sprinkled into each hole, as well as Azos but Azos was also dusted on the root balls themselves.
Light is 24" away and set at 50% power.
They should be ok though. The over water will be sorted shortly and the root rot will be dealt with by the Hygrozyme. Thats best case scenario. X Fingers! Here we go again mother fuckers! 😎
