The plats are not been trained, defoliated or anything, grown naturally.
I’m blown away how fast this plants are growing. First time outdoors and the experience is very nice, I love the fact it requires little to no effort, in the setup I have chosen.
As it is raining a lot, I’m using only a dry amendment I have built to use on them periodically, this way I’m not adding more liquids to the root system that is already highly saturated, essentially I’m using the following recipe update, I don’t know if it is correct but I live it all mixed. Use about a table spoon and a half every 15 days.
- Azomite 500g
- Natural fosfate 500g
- Biochar 1kg
- Bokashi 1kg
-Kelp meal 500g
-Mamona meal 1kg
-chicken meal 1kg
-Potassium silicate 500g
-Gypsum farm 500g
-Diatomaceous earth 500g
-Bunny guano 300g
-Bat guano 1kg
-Oyster shell powder 1kg
-Cow blood meal 1kg
-Cow bones powder meal 1kg.
-Wormcastings, spare use not in the mix.
The plants are showing good coloring, no fade and no deficiencies, the green is not to deep, nor too light. As the leafs are taking a lot of water and strong sun and wind, the leafs are feeling a bit. As the wind is high since day 1 the stems are very resistant, strong.
The Fastberry Is on the smaller size if compared to the other plants, together with the Banana purple punch, then we have the Bluedream and the CBD crack on the larger sizes thriving a lot, I expect to approach the end of flowed in a few weeks, the girls are very fast indeed. I’m looking forward to collect the fruits :)
@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.
