Had to restart this diary as last attempt failed.
Using Sohum living soil and Zamnesia Monster bud mix and the Zamnesia buddy packs (companion plants) . The pots I'm using are the new zamnesia geotextile fabric pots.
Have got 5 same seeds. in 5 same pots with same soil mix and nutrients and will be doing 5 Different training methods to see the results from each technique.
29/5 All popped yesterday
2/6 Added Zamnesia buddy packs today and topped off with Baltic worm castings. And gave them half a litre of pH'd water just for the cover crops to get going.
Looking good so far, had to prop of them up.
7/6 switched to LED tonight.
One of them is showing a bit of weird growth but hopefully the LED will sort that out.
Cover crops coming up I think it's the clover
14/6 looking a bit more developed at the end of week two. Not sure they are growing a bit slower because of the living soil or if it's the strain but they just seem a bit behind to what I'm used too.
Not really done much last week, they got a bit of light burn from LED. Which I've now move up.
But new growth seems to be doing ok.
Cover crops are coming on fantastic.
26/6 Friday
V) She is the bid sister of the group so I'm going to top her today
29/6
V) Has got 4 new grow tips started where I topped her.
The rest are catching up nicely now. Will start some LST in the next couple of days.
2/7 Done a bit if training on the girls today.
Bent four of them over.
The fifth one that I topped I didn't bend her yet, I just did some leaf tucking and she is coming on fantastic.
3/7 They have all bounced back brilliantly and heading towards the lights.
5/7 End of week 3 and going to do some more LST on them as the have bounced back from the last lot of training.
Hi, I'm running sohum living soil with various cover crops, my question.
I've got some other cannabis plants outside that are on bottled nutrients.
Can I take the trimmed leaves off them and put on top of my living soil for food (I think they call it green compost)
Hello
Love these living soil grows.
You definitely could use those clippings as green compost, but remember that your green is going to be high nitrogen versus high carbon. You should also be mindful of that they are bottled nutrient fed and that can be contained in the leaves similar to the soil will still contain some residues. And i also watch for when decaying plant matter sometimes can produce mold etc.
But this would be very comparable to someone using grass clippings as compost which can be very beneficial.
6/7 Done a load more training tonight. That's it for the next week or so.
8/7 found some mammoth P, it's 2 years old so not sure how the viable it still is. But I'll give it a try and see.
10/7 introduced some molasses today at a rate of 5ml/L.
There are some pre flowers starting to form now hence the introduction of molasses
12/7 nearing the end of week 4.
Nice even canopy except for one that I
topped. The canopy is thanks to the LST that I did on them. Trying to keep them the same height so the light reach and penetration will be uniform across the whole tent.
Tent is filling up nicely now, they are looking perfect not a sign of stress or deficiencies.
Will do some more training and leaf tucking in the next couple of days.
19/7 Done I light defoliation and leaf tucking and a bit of moving around to fill the canopy as much as possible.
They are looking super healthy considering that I'm only watering with molasses added.
27/7 looking lovely now starting to flower profusely now. And the smell is really amping up.
2/8 They're just exploding now full flowering.
They smell amazing. Just a quick few I took while just tucking them in for the night....
Will get some more pics tomorrow as it water and molasses day. Still no nutrients or additives. 100% organic
3/8 little video of the ladies
The smell coming off them now is really sweet smelling and rather strong.
11/8 End of week 6 and they are filling out nicely now and smelling like candy.
They are looking great really really nice now starting to put some weight on and the smell is sweet and stinky.
Might add some bloom booster to help them along as well as molasses. I've got 5 of the same strain and they are all different. The one I topped seems to be doing the best.
30/8 Did a bit of a defoliation and leaf tucking tonight. They are fattening up nicely now.
Week 9ish.
They are stacking up nicely now, and just trying to give them a bit of a boost by adding some Atami Bio Bloombastic that I had sitting in my cupboard. So let's see how things pan out.....
Hopefully just give them a bit of a kick in the right direction. Not used bio Bloombastic before.
9/11 chopped one baby last night as I noticed she had a small infestation of thrips. So got rid of her before they spread to the rest of them.
Did a massive defoliation last night and switched the lights on 24 hours for the last couple of days.
Going to give them the chop in a day or two.
Last water last night so see how long they take to dry the soil out.
Took a bit off one that has been hanging for just over a week and it's really nice.
Chopped tonight so not weighed them yet will do tomorrow if I can.
Ended up with 290g for 5 plants
But 5 same seeds and 5 different pheno's.
Judging by the looks the heaviest weight is from the one I topped .
Already weighed one plant got 28g dry weight. Got 4 more babies chopped tonight
