Blackberry

Okay so this girl has popped and has been planted today (2/22/2019). I have an addiction to this beaut as this is my third time growing her. Insomnia has been riddling my life pretty hard lately and I have never slept more happily/ peacefully then after this girl has filled my lungs. It will be awhile until I have some natural medication but I think i'll sleep peacefully just knowing she's growing. Day 7 and she's a little burnt and off to a slow start but nothing the WCOG and BDM didn't experience. Soil I'm still rocking the foxfarm's froggy frog and ocean forest. I use a nutritional gradient to help pull the roots down. I typically use froggy frog for the top 2 to 3 inches of soil followed by a 4:1 ratio of froggy frog:ocean forest fro the next 4 inches, then 2:1 ratio of froggy frog: ocean forest for the next 4 inches, then 1:1 ratio and then just straight ocean forest. I lightly mix the top of the previous layer with the beginning of the new layer as I'm going to maintain a consistent gradient. The less nutrient dense (hot) soil is better for the seedlings and will be replenished with organic fertilizers when she's bigger. Additives Added about 1.5 to 2 quarts of perlite for the first time to keep the soil even lighter. Calcium carbonate: about 2 tbs per grow bag. Real growers recharge to create an optimal biological habitat for the roots I'll also be including a CO2 system for the first time to further promote growth, but not until week 2 when she has more leaves to utilize the CO2
