So I brewed a really basic inoculation tea and my plants exploded.
In 2 gallons of water.
Handful of worm castings.
10 ml mammoth p
10 ml colony x
5ml golden tree
10ml roots organic surge
1/4 teaspoon of molasses
Brew 24 hours.
They later in the week got a feeding with only Roots Organic Surge and some Molasses to feed the microbes we boosted with the tea.
10 ml roots organic surge
Tsp molasses
Brew 24 hours
Add 5 tbsp of my kosher
Dilute to 15 gallons of water. (I would say as low as 5 gallons would be safe)
Water into plants and give 24 hours of light for 3 days.
They doubled in size in 24 hours. Granted they are still small but it was a noticeable change
This week I gave a second super microbe tea
- 5 ml mammoth P
- 5 ml Plus C (Photosynthesis C)
- 5 ml Deep 6
- 5ml Colony x
- small handful of worm castings (Worm Gold +)
- Tsp of Powdered molasses
- 10 ml Roots Organic Surge
- 2 gallons of R.O. water
Brew 24 hours
-Small handful of Insect Frass
- Tsp of liquid Molasses
Brew 24 hours
-tsp of powdered molasses
- small handfull of worm gold + (this is food for the now bigger microbes that have been growing in the tea)
Brew 24 hours
Add to 13 gallons of water
- 5ml of OSA28
- 2 TBSP of Mykos
-20 ml of Roots Organic Surge
- 5 ml of humboldt golden tree
apply liberally. Plants exploded again - bacterial slime (a strong indicator of massive bacterial growth) was so strong it very nearly completely clogged my xl 4" air stone.
Update: 9/28
The girls got their first feeding this week. 6 days after the second super microbe tea i mixed a half dose of VegBloom Dirty. A bit of food the next feeding after a microbe tea seems to be the ticket for sure.
Also included in the feeding:
5ml per gallon roots organic surge
1.5 ml per gallon Mammoth P
5ml per gallon MaxiCrop
3ml per gallon Humboldt ES Honey
1/2 tsp VegBloom Dirty per gallon
nothing special so far this week. I'll post one more a bit later.
One note was that both the Tangie and the Stardawg burned very slightly when i gave them the Humboldt Nutrients Ginormous. Maybe stardawg is just ahead in maturity but she turned on the frost while tangie didnt and isnt gaining weight just yet. I have a feeling that its just a little slower than the StarDawg so we should see some fire works next week from her.
Stay tuned.
Week 6 saw a stall for Tangie and Gorilla Glue. This may have been caused by a lighting change for these two plants and I think it is the only answer honestly. I did not take any pictures for this week because there was little to not noticeable growth between weeks 5 and 6.
They got a pretty heavy tea early in the week this week. I included the recipe from the book True Living Organics by the Rev. Look into it.
I dont use the Big Bloom it suggests. I instead use a bit of Humboldt Naturals Deuce Deuce and a bit of the Mendocino Avalanche. These two seem to be a double whammy for organic bloom for me personally.
Mammoth P - Maxicrop were both added as well. This is the last tea they will get all run. From here on out its water with Roots Organic Surge until the last week which will be plain water.
I didnt update for a while because they stalled out on me and didnt really change much over the course of a week and a half. Not sure why but they seem to be picking back up now
I really feel like changing the lights in week 5 was a bad idea with both this and the gorilla glue. The quality of these nugs is great, but they could have done more. When running autos, its like a hurdle race, every little hurdle you hit takes away from the end product.
However, despite my apparent mishandling, the smoke on this stuff is still great. The flavor is there for sure.
