As Medium I am using Florganics Dopesoil mixed with selfmade compost and collected Dirt from molehills near forrest and fields. i Am applying Composttee since week 4 of germination. My Compostee contains Guano, selfmade IMO2, Lactobacteria and Algastuff and homemade Compost. The dose of nutrients in my compostee is not very high its more about adding microbes, fungi and all that good Living Soil Stuff. I also put the remainings of the compostee under my mulching so that i am constantly adding low amount of biomass. Some Training for the 2x 5 Week old Gorilla Cookies unsing simple stuff du bend down the branches.

Keep applying compostee once a week. Everything is growing well. So far, I have not been able to detect any deficiency. The BBM and BIK and one GCFF are more light green colored due to lightintensity - I hope this will change over period of Flowercircle. cant wait for day 21 ( final defoliation )

As always I use my typical Compostea every Sunday. Just Removed some leaves here and there to provide airflow but nothing too crazy. Watering every Day a litttle to medium amount of water (2,5-5 %) of the Pot Volume.

Had Some Fungus Gnats in my Tent so i Used cold pressed Neem Oil to prevent more larves to develop. Nothing else this week just adding water every day. 2 Buds showed brown hairs (brown from top to bottom) so i assume there is a Pollen Sack opended but i cannot find it. I just hope there is no more Pollen coming. Blueberry Muffin has the most intense Terps yet - Super Fruty and like Dough Gorilla Cookies all more woodie, Pine Bubba Island Kush not a stong smell at all

Terps are starting to develop. The Bubba Island Kush has almost no Terps. The Blueberry Muffin is my Favorite so far - Smells like mix of Pinapple, Strawberry Pasion Fruit - Super sweet. Gorilla Cookies more on the Pine Gas earth side with slightly differences in the phenos.

The Ladys are growing and doing their Thing. The Neemoil helped against the fungus nets. The Smell in the tent is getting more and more present. A mix of Fruity and dank herb terps. Gorilla Cookies all kind of lean to the Girl Scout Cookies side regarding Smell - super nice! Blueberry Muffin still has that fruit mix flavour of Pinapple, Strawberry and Passion Fruit- Also Super nice! Bubba Island Kush is developing the slowest and starts with very little aroma on the nutty side - pretty low on Terps yet

I have changed my Filter as it was not able to filter the smell anymore. I use the old filter as filter for the incoming air now to prevent dust and hair comming into the tent. Last Compost tea was added, from now on only watering when needed. Gorilla Cookies is going to finish first. Gorilla Cookies: smells like girl Scout Cookies, very dank on the cookies side of things (trichomes 50% clear /50 milky) Blueberry Muffin: Still very Fruity Passion Fruit, Strawberry, Pinapple (trichomes 60% clear 40%milky) Bubba Island Kush: Starts to develop an extreme chemical flavour but i really like it. (reminds me on Gorilla Breath) (trichomes mostly clear)

One week of not watering before harvest. Needed to cut off the top part of the plants to get it out of the trellis net. I left the bottom part of the plants in the pot and let them die in the pots. Plants are now drying in dark basement at 18°Celsius and humidity between 56% - 60%

Nice grow report. Basement growing can be challenging due to low temperatures and humidity... I absolutely fell in love with compost teas and I'm very interested in your progress.

@Chr_Fo, Hi mate, yes you are absolutely right. Thats why I want to share my basement grow report so other growers can see which genetics work in this environment. So Far Gorilla Cookies always did the best with this conditions.

Gute Arbeit. Da macht das einer nicht zum ersten mal. Schön immer mehr Gärten in D zu sehen. Auch bei uns gibt es genug mit dunkelgrünem Daumen.😁Girls sehen gesund und glücklich aus. Mögen die Terps und kühleres Wetter am ende mit dir sein😉😎

Ich hoffe du kommst nur mit Neem alleine klar. Am ende hatte ich immer SF-Nematoden besorgen müssen weil die Biester den Haussegen mit meiner Frau 😏Torpedieren. BTI - Tabletten helfen auch gut gegen ganz Junge Larven. Viel Spaß und heftige Terps Growmie.

@Stony_German, Servus, die Anzahl an Fliegen hat sich diese Woche drastisch verringert. Ein paar fliegen immer noch rum aber ich denke das Neemöl hat seinen Zweck erfüllt. Werde auch mal SF-Nematoden ausprobieren jedoch wollte ich das erst in meinem "Finalen" Living Soil Beet starten. Vielen Dank für die Tips.

Did you top dress at any point or only compost tea? Did you put anything below your mulch like barley? I made my Florganics soil and added some SF-nematodes, with BioBizz Light Mix and Cocos (2:1) with 10% Flo (now to wait 5 weeks 😑). Hopefully I can get some plants like yours.

@StickyDiary, i did not top dress my plant i just added compost tea. With Florganics you will have no Problems if its fermented enough. i also used SF-nematodes this time. I am sure you will have fire result with florganics 🙏
