9 original cuts - Living soil 8º cicle

IberianRootcraft Starting a new chapter with the HiHolyHigh crew! I’ve just introduced 9 elite selections to the garden, some truly unique cultivars that I’ve been dying to run. Their resilience is next level. After 3 days in the dark, they bounced back like it was 3 hours. Upon arrival, they received mycorrhizae directly to the roots before heading into the propagator. I also gave them a quick Enhancer foliar (0.15g/l) to jumpstart the engine, and they were praying within 24 hours. On day 3 I transplanted them into a single cup using a light substrate amended with humus. I watered them in with Enhancer (0.4g/l) and added a fresh layer of mycorrhizae on top of the soil, ready to move to the 3x3. The vigor is insane!

IberianRootcraft Start of week 2 of the HiHolyHigh cuts! Clean transplant completed and new cover crop is officially in the ground. Keeping the PPFD at ~150 for these first few days to ensure a smooth transition. VPD is holding steady between 0.5 - 1.0 kPa. I’ve added a 2-3cm mulch layer consisting of a custom mix: old leaves, bamboo leaves, and grass clippings, all blended with remains from the previous harvest. The girls reacted beautifully to the new soil, zero transplant shock! So far, so good.

IberianRootcraft Another week, a little bit stressed, fixing and growing. First epsom salt foliar, pretty light (1g/L).

IberianRootcraft We start the week with a watering with bio enhancer and taking cuts of the ones that are taller to keep matching canopy. I took cuts from Animal Tsunami, Carbon Fiber, Rainbow Chip and Studio54. I already cloned Runtz, Superbuff Cherry 26 and Strawberry Guava.

IberianRootcraft Light defoliation to level out the canopy. Supebuff Cherry 26 & Strawberry Guava are pushing way ahead, I did some training on them too. Colorado Nightshifter is already cloned, RS11 is still recovering… The Runtz is the smallest one and I already have a clon so I’m just applying LST.

IberianRootcraft Continuing the journey with the HiHolyHigh selection in this 8th cycle Living Soil bed. The canopy is looking mostly uniform, though a few cultivars (RS11, Colorado Nightshifter, and Runtz HHH) are taking a bit longer to fully acclimatize to the environment. Key Technical Details: • IPM: Fully up to date and strictly maintained. • Soil Moisture: Keeping levels constant within the optimal range to ensure the soil microbiology remains active. • Biological Activity: Applied avocado tech today to congregate and stimulate the worm population on the top layer, prepping them for the upcoming pre-flower re-amendment. Nutritional Notes: The space is almost completely filled, but I’m noticing a slight Magnesium deficiency in the Animal Tsunami and the RS11 is currently recovering from a minor Nitrogen lockout. I’ll be spending this week dialing in these corrections to ensure they are 100% healthy before flipping to the flowering cycle.

IberianRootcraft Final Week of Veg - Transition to 12/12 This is the last week before flipping the HiHolyHigh cuts to the 12/12 cycle. Pre-flower Top Dress: I have applied a pre-flower top dress using Almicanna Kick Flip and Malted Barley. • Kick Flip: Provides all the necessary inputs for the upcoming flowering stage. • Malted Barley: Helps decompose the remaining organic matter in the soil, converting it into readily available nutrients while also strengthening the plants' natural defenses against potential attacks. Plant Status: • RS11: Unfortunately, it didn't keep up. It remains locked out and is now 20cm shorter than the rest of the canopy. I’ll keep the top to sample the quality and will try to clone it again for the next cycle. • Colorado Nightshifter & Runtz: Slightly shorter than the rest as they took longer to adapt, but they are well-developed and ready for a proper test. • The rest: Looking perfect and ready for the flip.

IberianRootcraft Day 1 of flower

IberianRootcraft Day 7 of flower Cuts from HiHolyHigh

IberianRootcraft 3º week of flower, Day 15. Cuts from HiHolyHigh. Already showing some colours. Temperature rising fast since summer is already here in Extremadura, Spain, 37°-40º. In trying to maintain 25-27º.

IberianRootcraft Day 21 is here! Last defoliation done, let’s start to bulk! 37º-40º already outdoor, things getting hard…
