Ultimate BBC Cross Grow - SQ1 & Robin Hood Seeds

All three seeds germinated within 48 hours. Start counting the days when they were planted into the soil. Week 1 - day 4 after the sprouted seeds were planted into their containers. They have received 24 hours of light the first three days and light duration was reduced to 20 hours one day ago. Not watered until now, probably they will need some water within next 1-2 days. VPD: 0.6-0.7 Light intensity: 290-300 PPFD Living Soil: As promised last week will post some info on the planned living soil mix. It’s also a complete new experience for me on this true living soil. Following the hype which is going on here in Europe at the moment😄 Love to experiment with different type of soils and have already tried a lot!! Few of this ingredients were already used in the past, but never this style based on the BuiltASoil way! Few ingredients are not part of this original recipe, but added those as well based on former experiences. Ingredients: (all strictly organic, most from Almicanna Spain) Nutrients: Kelp, Alfalfa meal and pellets, fish meal, insects frass, crustaceans meal, neem cake, malted barley, bat guano, camelina meal, soy meal and bokashi, hyd. kelp, biochar, compost and worm castings Minerals: Basalt, Azomite, gypsum, oyster shells, algae lime and very small amount of epsom salt. Aeration: Rice husks, pumice and perlite Soil base: 50% BioBizz Light Mix & 50% Plagron ProMix Total mix 105 liters (28 gal). The ratios are based on the lower recommendations by BuiltASoil. It’s seems to be a lot, but every nutrient was added in a small amount. Can always add more later with topdressing. The complete mix was watered with 5% of total soil amount. Water with added Rootwise Complete, BuiltASoil Aloe Vera and coconut powder, Enhancer, SF-Nematodes and wetting agent FreeFlow. Soil mix will sit the next 10-14 days in tanks and will be tilled every few days. It got pretty warm within the first days and already came alive the last two days. Mycelium is showing up everywhere on the soil surface. Pretty good sign! Compost worms will be added once the mix cooled down again to a moderate temperature level. Later on will also establish a mulch layer on the top of the fabric pot. Quite curious on this experiment and cannot wait planting the ladies into this natural environment. Let’s see!! :) Mixed a Living Soil for a friend some weeks ago and seems to be working pretty good, so I’m confident for this run 😃 See the last picture, if you’re interested. Okay that’s enough for today…way to much! Thank you if you was reading all the way down here ✌️ Stay tuned 💚🌱

Hey guys, it's time for another status update 🌱🍒🍌 Exactly 14 days after germination was started - end of week 2. The plants looking healthy and developing great. 4 days ago they've received filtered water with a mix of coconut water powder, Rootwise Complete and Aloe Vera leaf powder. Today watered again including a small dose of Horsetail plant extract. PH at 6.3, like to ph the water in this early stage with organic apple vinegar. This will also add some additional enzymes to the soil. VPD: 0.8-0.9 Light intensity: 290-320 PPFD Planning to fill within next days the three 35 liter (approx. 10 gal) fabric pots with the living soil and add a mulch layer with cover crops. The soil smells pretty good like a forest. Added some days ago a few compost worms to each of the containers. If everything goes well the ladies will be transplanted next weekend. In the meantime will get the cover crops sprouted. Living soil details: PH: 6.6-6.8 Fertility: 2-4 Temperature: 20 degrees C (68 Fahrenheit) That's all for today :) Stay tuned for the next update 🌱🤘

Hello again and welcome for another update on this grow 🌱🍌🍒 It has been 3 weeks and 1 day since the seeds were started to germinate in a glass of water. End of week 2. Transplanted them 2 days ago into their final containers with the living soil. They’re developing great up to now. Had no transplant shock at all and kept on growing immediately. However will take a few days until they will get comfortable and sending their roots out to the new soil. Quite excited how the new soil mix will perform over the next weeks. Cover crops also have germinated and developing fast. The high fertilized mulch layer should also support the further growth and establishing the feeder roots. VPD: 0.9-1.0 Light intensity: 320 PPFD Will increase from tomorrow onwards the intensity in small steps to 550 PPFD Watered 1 liter per plant with some Rootwise Complete, Coconut water powder, Aloe Vera, Greenhouse Feeding Enhancer and some FreeFlow wetting agent. Trying the Blumat Soil-Moisture-Sensors the first time and they’re indicating a moisture level of approx. 60 mBar. Recommended is a range between 50-120mBars, but will try to keep it between 50-90 mBar. As I’m getting lazy lifting these heavy containers every time up for testing, wanted to give the sensors a try :) 😄 Automatic dripping system with Blumat Maxi will be installed next weekend. Planning to give them just another 2 weeks of veg before starting the flowering cycle, as I want to avoid having late flower and drying performed during early summer season. Expect this strains will take 9-10 weeks for flowering. If you’re interested in any other details or do you have recommendations for me leave your comments down below 😃 Would appreciate your feedback ✌️😁 Thanks for reading and stay tuned on the next update 💚

Hey Growmies, It’s time for another update. Stucking in a boring meeting so I thought will do something productive 😂 Coming towards end of week 3 veg. They were topped two days ago and started with some LST. Regret not giving them right now enough time for more training due to lack of time, but they will manage by their own. Already preparing them for the flowering cycle and reduced the light duration to 17 hours, in a few days will go to 16 hours and planning to switch to 12/12 upcoming weekend or early next week. VPD: 1.0-1.1 Light intensity: 430-460 PPFD Also didn’t had time yet to install the automatic dripping system, but this will be done by tomorrow. They have received their weekly adders with Rootwise Complete, Coconut water powder and Aloe Vera. Will give the first Rootwise Bio-Phos dose within next days for start mobilizing more P from the soil. The filtered water with RO comes out perfectly with a constant PH at around 6.7-6.8 and EC with 0.4-0.5. Don’t need to adjust the PH as the soil will keep it balanced. Removing a few leaves here and there the next few days for defoliation. Other than that there is not much more to report today :) Take care and keep on growing 💚

Hello and welcome back ✌️🤘 Wanted to give you a quick update 🍒🌱🍌 The plants looking healthy. Prepared them over the last week for flowering cycle. Light duration was lowered to 16 hours 4 days ago and will change to 12/12 by tomorrow. They could definitely go for another week or two for veg, but want to start flowering sooner than later. VPD: 1.2 Light intensity: 530-550 PPFD (55%) Automatic Blumat dripping system was also installed and working fine. Noticed due to different soil type needed to increase the regular water flow, as the soil has a pretty good aeration. They’re drinking a lot at the moment! With some daily LST spread out the side branches to bring most of them to the same level. Frozen BAG almost spread out without any help. Brewed a compost tea for 24 hours and mixed together with the other weekly adders. Remaining compost tea will be foliar sprayed later today right before the lights will go out. Some bags with three different predatory mites will manage preventive pest control over the next 4-6 weeks. Really curious on the next few weeks on the stretch performance of this different strains. Think that’s all for today 😁😃 Stay tuned and thanks for reading!! ✌️

Hey Growmies ✌️ It’s time for another update on this run 🍒🍌🌱 They’re in flower since 7 days. There was a explosive increase of growth within the last few days. Decided to cut down the cover crops and give the plants a small defoliation for increasing the airflow inside the canopy and lowering the humidity. Trying to remove just few leaves from the plants and not too much. Heavy defoliation and lollipopping will be done in 2 weeks. Early last week recognized some fungus gnats and reacted to late 😅 Normally if the first flying around or sticking you should take immediate action. Their population is massively increasing within 2 days if no actions will be taken. So I’ve watered in some SF-nematodes to limit any new gnats coming out of the soil. Some of the chopped cover crops was used to build a green mulch layer on the top. Noticed the grown cover crops is too much for the small container surface, therefore this will be one of the reasons why I’ll probably go for much bigger containers on the next run and use not that much seeds like this time. VPD: 1.1-1.2 Light intensity: 650-700 PPFD Iced Up Cherries is very sensitive to the lights. Therefore will go in smaller steps to a higher level. Target 750-800 PPFD in 2 weeks. Lets see if all strains can handle that. That all for today :) Thanks and stay tuned on the next update 💚
