Plant Week 10 - Bed Week 12 - AKA Flower Time
This plant week bed week bullshit was a fucking mistake, I super regret it, and if I wasn't so lazy I would undo it.
Day 72
Gave the plants an SST this week and saw some real explosive growth from the runty bag seed. I'm transitioning the lights this week, 1 hour less every day until we hit 12/12. Cross your fingers for a flower week update soon!
My SST Recipe:
1 Gallon of water
2-4 tablespoons of Gnarly Barley by Clackamas Coot (This is a pre-sprouted, dried, seed mix you can get either whole or milled. I got milled)
1 teaspoon of freeze-dried coconut water powder
1 Compost tea bag
Put the Gnarley Barley in the tea bag, put the tea bag in the water. I bubbled it, pretty sure that's optional since I only soaked for a few hours, but I also figured the additional agitation from the bubbles couldn't hurt. After a few hours the water was very milky, I squeezed out the bag, added the teaspoon of coconut powder and put in a pump sprayer. I gave these ladies a good foliar spray, the SST left a white powder on the leaves as it dried, I got incredibly concerned it was powdery mildew considering my aphid struggle, but it was just dried sprouted seed juice, wiped right off.
@QuantumSkies, https://www.reddit.com/r/NoTillGrowery/ is where I got started. I have a love/hate relationship with reddit, but that's a good place to get your feet wet. buildasoil.com is good place to get soil mixes and amendments. The crazy thing is, no-till/organic can get just as fucking crazy as any other form with all the korean natural farming (KNF), and microbe teas, and sprouted seed juices, and all that kinds of crap. As much or as little as you want!
