Grow # 1.5 - Phimo the Critical Purple
After learning a few things from my first 3 plants (on week 8 in flower as I type this), I really wanted to try to get something that would fill an entire half of my tent by itself. I've heard varying reports that you can get massive autos starting at 5-7 gallons. 10 gallon seems overkill, but I'm doing organic living soil with a cover crop, so I wanted some mistake buffer. My main light is almost totally in use by my other flowers, so we're testing the 300W single COB E26 bulb by Cannagrow. It's approximately 24 inches from the plant.
Medium (not exact, something like this, mixed a much larger batch):
Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Happy Frog (2/1 ratio) - 3g
Mother Earth Coco/Perlite - 3g
Earthworm Castings - 2g
Nature's Living Soil - Autoflower 1g
Bio-char - .25g
Alfalfa meal - .25g
Kelp Meal - .25g
Bio Live - .25g
Great White myco in the mix and on the seed. Cannaseur cover crop.
Trinity in the seeding water. Compost tea every week (trinity, earthworm castings, nature's living soil, alfalfa/kelp meal, bio-live, bio-char).
The last 1 to 2 weeks of this plant and this thing is throwing a ton of new pistils and a few new calyxes. The heat in the tent has gone up over the last few days to high 80's during the day. Is this a chop now worthy problem, hoping for more cloudy and 30% amber.
Looks nice.....have you seen Oregon's Only...organics....I like the Liquid Calcium aka Demeter's Destiny, the Medusas Magic 2-6-2, and the Zeus Juice Humic acid 5% RED BLACK COLOR .....but I also use some other not classified as organic MAGNUM mag Sul b1...and a PK boost too....
Looking really good....im going super substrate..i like the Coco loco mixed with the strawberry fields....after a 0.3g ocean forest start....
@@Wilson_McNugget, thank you my friend! I have not, I'll give them a look! I like to use a really basic carbohydrate just to start a tea (you just reminded me I need to start one for tomorrow night), I like the Trinity cause it has just a touch of additional humic acid, which is all I think I needed due to the super soil blend/living soil method. Right now this is almost entirely on tap water with just a weekly tea, no more Trinity every watering. I can't with the Blumat Maxi carrots, they'll clog up!
The super soil is real my friend, bigger is better! I'm going even bigger next round with a 40 gallon long no-till pot I'll run a couple plants a time in. Appreciate the look out!
