Organic Living Soil Pheno Hunt - Super Cropped SCROG Trellis - Blueberry, Chemdawg, Kosher Kush
Week 1
Dropped in water on 12/2
80% germ rate after 48 hours
100% germ rate after 72 hours
Planted in seed tray on 12/5 with humidity dome and heat
70% sprouted by 12/8
Remaining sprouted the next day
2 did did not sprout
Week 2
Transplanted into 1 gallon pots. A few had to go into half gallon pots.
Getting the youngins used to brighter lighting (500 w with UV added) hotter soil, and rich compost tea feedings.
The plan is to pump them until the tips burn as they become more and more resilient.
Then reduce to plain water feeding as the living soil activated and the microbial activity in the soil provides the roots with steady nutrition.
Week 3 of veg went well. Growth seemed a bit slower then it should have been this week. Thinking my living soil veg recipe needs a bit of phosphorus and lime.
Fed them compost tea brew with phosphorus added and they really responded well to that after a watering with beneficial bacteria added.
1 Blueberry and 1 Double stuffed Sorbet has been eliminated from the group.
Down to 18 plants remaining out of 24 beans.
More to be selected for removal this week.
1st day of week 4
Mixed the Soil mix that will be feeding these girls throughout the rest of their lives.
Will let it rest for 1-2 weeks before selecting the final top 4 to go into the 10 gallon pots.
Water fed 2 cups of plain water to all today
Rolled lighting schedule back to 16-8. Getting my girls 8 hours of sleep a night
Increased light intensity to 550 W
Day 23
Water fed 2 cups of water with silica added
Foliar fed with fish fertilizer and silica
Day 24
Water fed with water + mychoriza + beneficial bacteria
Day 25
Pruned lower leaves and nodes as needed for better air flow and light penetrative. Gotta get these girls to put all their focus in cranking out new nodes now for the next few weeks to fill up the tent space for flowering. Looking for the top 4 with the most impressive smell, vigor and structure
Also water fed 2 cups each again today. They are needing fed every day almost now cause they are out growing the 1 gal pots. Transplanting will need to happen within the next fee days.
Day 26
Eliminated 1 Kosher Kush and 1 Double Stuffed Sorbet
transplanted last half gallon pot (Blueberry 6)
water fed 1 cup of water to all
foliar fed with fish fert + cal mag
Last day of week 4:
I fed 1 cup of water and then super cropped most. Some got LST stakes.
Kind of had a little regret after super cropping most. Next run I will do zero lst or hst training. Just grow them to 24 inches (6 weeks) then move to final pots and put in trellis net 12" over top of pot thereby allowinh the the trellis net to gently fold over the top 8-12" of the plants, creating the same training effect but with no stalling of growth. Train them into the net for final 2 weeks of veg and for the 1st week or 2 of flowering.
Started week 6 off with a very rich compost tea feeding then foliar fed with the same.
Last week before final transplant into 10 gallon pots to SCROG before switching 12/12
Day 41
The 6 finalist are:
1 Blueberry
1 Chemdawg
2 Kosher Kush
2 Double Stuffed
Week 7
Transplanted into 10 gallon pots of my custom Living Soil mix (2 small plants will be in 3 gallon pots)
set SCROG trellis in place @ 24" high from ground
will fill the screen to 75% with nodes for 2 weeks then switch to 12/12
1st day of week 9
Flip time!
The ladies recovered nicely from the defoil. They look ready to stretch to the sky and pack on fat sticky buds EVERYWHERE.
