InsideAz Time to get growing again, I’ve taken a 3-4 month break over the summer and feel focused on what I’m doing again. I’ll be changing the way I feed the plants, previously I used “organic” powder slow- release fertilizers. I’ll be changing to bi-weekly teas that are more focused towards the microbes and nutrient replenishing. This way I know exactly what is going into the plants and hopefully improve the smoke flavor.
Only 4 plants this grow I want to maximize each plant without overcrowding the space. I’ll be paying close attention to the environment and KEEPING THE TENT CLOSED. First week went very well with environmental conditions.
Germination: Paper towel in open ziplock bag
8/28-8/30
Week1: 8/31-9/6
Planted in soil 8/30
Soil mixture:
FoxFarm Ocean forest Potting Soil (1.5cu bag)
Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soul (2cu bag)
Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings (5%-10% soil)
All seeds popped out of soil by themselves within 2 days.
No added fertilizers during the start this grow, FoxFarm soil should have plenty to get these seedlings going and then I will be top dressing with Gaia Green in a month unless I find more natural nutrients. Ultimately I would like to phase out fertilizers whether they be “organic” or not. The best/ most flavorful buds I’ve ever smoked were made from all natural nutrient sources.
Environment is as described in notes and will be updated weekly.
Dechlorinated water for 24-28 hours
Ph between 6.5-6.8 ish using citric acid before watering
Light is at 30%
