WEEK 1 of flower. This is insanely quick, veg for three weeks and on week 4 we are flowering strong.
It is raining a lot, so i had to use a top dressing, ingredients on the week 3, to manage the soil nutrients till the end of the cycle. About two table spoons.
Watering once a week, with the mix above, otherwise rain is taking care of them, very natural as a grow, nothing much complicated, no science fiction with fertilizer or chemistry.
I’m curious about the yield, and how much can i pull out of this way, with minimal work and a nearly inert soil. Let’s see how this experiment turns out.
@CANNASIM, I get it.Im going to address my plants with a cover crop for the purposes of water retention in the upper half.Im a bottom waterer and it totally makes sense.Thanks my friend for your sharing!
@Crabtreestreehouse, i have bought a companion mix, basically it works synergetic with the soil, besides providing a layer of humidity retention, so the soil does not get dry. It helps fixate the nitrogen, oxygenate the soil and amplify the living matter as well. The mix contains the following seeds mixed:
Common Vetch, Rye, Ukrainian Oats, Black Oats, Forage Turnip, Crambe, Buckwheat
In the technique i'm using i'm keeping them alive thru out the cycle and cropping gradually the top as they stretch, so shaving them gradually, there are those that crop them once a month and replant, and you can plant them, 15 days or so before moving your main culture to the vase, so they become a top layer and are reabsorbed to the soil, and then you replant the mix.
They tend to stretch a lot and fast, so your main culture have to be in a strong fashion so it is not covered by the cover mix, hope this makes sense.
