💬 Had 5 seeds left so ive decided to go for a second run with this strain as the genetics are pretty interesting and ive really enjoyed growing her the first time. 📆 Planted seeds on Saturday, 07.09. 💬 RHC-3 and RHC-5 germinated 48 hours later on Monday, 09.09. 💬 I hope the others make it tomorrow. At least 2 more would be nice _________________________ I am planning to repot the plants into their "real" home after some weeks of vegetation. That is gonna consist of 2 substrate levels in a 40l container. The bottom 2/3 is going to be a mix of peat, pumice, sand & vermiculite, the top third is gonna be a layer of my homemade living soil, which is made of 1/3 peat, 1/3 compost and 1/3 pumice 4-12mm & Spelt Husk 50%/50% (measured by volume) amended with kelp meal, sproutet bean meal, basalt rock dust, microbial mushroom biomass (chitin), oyster grit, gypsum, charcoal, bentonite and tiny amounts of bone meal & horn meal. It is my first time growing weed in a (partly) nutrient poor substrate. I want to do some kind of Experiment this time, as i have not seen many growers use "hydroponic" /nutrient poor substrate paired with the "living soil" approach & organic feeding. I'm trying to boost the growth by providing plenty of oxygen and water like hydroponics does, without needing to use those mineral salt based fertilizers or frequently having to discard "old" substrate. I've set their homes up already a couple weeks ago and moistened it to let it cook together, so the living organisms could colonize the bottom subtrate before transplanting. (Edit: Currently fighting against a nasty fungus gnat infection which ive brought inside. Its getting better after applying nematodes, predator mites and a lot of killing by hand/sticky traps/vacuum cleaner...Also waiting for the Mandarin Cookies clone to root so it can fill the 4th space, with the other 3 being Red Hot Cookies.) The plants are going to be fed purely organic/natural material by top dressing with different amendments like fish hydrolysate, basalt, kelp, gypsum, guano and this "living soil - grow" fertilizer i've showed in the pictures of the Mandarin Cookies grow. Furthermore i am going to be using homemade nutrient ferments on cannabis for the first time. Ive already tested those on roses, tomatoes and some houseplants. (made from fish, insect, kelp, aloe vera, guano, kitchen scraps, plants etc). My goal is to additionally boost the plant growth by watering these quickly available nutrients. It should contain all the essential minerals plants need, as well as phytohormones, amino acids, vitamins, humic and fulvic acid, beneficial bacteria and fungi. Stay hyped with me!
