@MrJones, Yeah, I am not super advanced with my soil mix. I just go for a good mix with good aeration and some good compost/humus and worm castings. I try to stay on the more natural organic side of things, but I tried out the Fox Farm Dirty Dozen. While it does contain some salt ferts, they're in pretty small proportions due to everything else in the mix, most of which is OMRI listed. No noticeable difference in taste and still end up with white ash. My only gripe is it is expensive running the full line. Run before this, I went lighter with nutes and would give plain water between feeds, so hopefully still end up with white ash as I tried to push the plants a little. I have been considering possibly going with dry amendments, as I have seen others have good results at a lower cost with less work mixing nutes. I also plan to add an airstone and recirculating pump to my res to let it brew. As of now, I am just feeding immediately after mixing the res.

@FoTwenny, Our approach to soil mixes are very close my Friend, for me 60% ocean Forest, 25% Mother Earth Coco w/ Perlite, 10% Worm Castings and 5% additional perlite, then I amend with BoS BuildASoil Craft Blend - Nutrient Pack - I have been messing up with using additional nutrients with BioBiz, Autos in soil do not like heavy "hot" environments. But the Photo Periods seem to love this. My Next AutoRun will be a bit Different - A good friend and weed coach have suggested this - 75% COCO Perlite Mix, like Mother Eart or Tupur Royal Gold, 25% worm Castings on a 20 Gallon Mix, adding 1 cup of insect Frass, 3 cups of BOS L.O.S. V3.0 Mineral Mix Kit, (BOS = Build a Soil) 4 Cups BoS BuildASoil Craft Blend. Then just water the plants with Plain H20 and weekly using a fish fertilizer, I am going to use the Organically Done product, and every other week a compost tea just finished my upgrade to my brewer OR Recharge. This will maintain an organic approach to growing without salt-based nutrients, as well as allow more frequent smaller waterings, to allow more oxygen t the root base - you can look for this being rolled out in an upcoming Sweet Seeds Madeiran Cream Auto Grow. Always fun to mix it up with other growers!

@MrJones, My soil mix was kind of crazy this run. The hydro store was out of the original roots, which is usually my base. It's a mix of (roughly) equal parts Mother Earth Coco+Pearlite, Original Roots, Roots 707, Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and General Organics Ancient Forest Alaska Humus. To that mix I added Wiggle Worm worm castings and coarse pearlite. It's airy but not too airy. I will give your friend's diary a look. Thanks for following and happy growing!

@BudXs, Already posted some with it... It's kind of a good point. I'd hate it I really did trigger someone's epilepsy. You totally got me, though. 😂😂😂

OK... do you do your own videos as well, so when I was looking at the video, I remembered the movie Tombstone after an impossible shoot out where Wyatt Earp played by Kurt Russel should have died 20 times over, Sherman McMasters Ask's: Where is he? Doc Holliday Says: Down by the creek, walking on water. You have to quit amazing me! Hope you and your family are well! Oh, yea the Northern Lights look great! (Grin)

@MrJones, Yes, I do the videos too! They're usually done hastily. When we get a bigger home and I have room to move the garden on site, then I can really put time into this and make it really clean.

Looks like she is going to put on some long colas! Best of luck with the rest of your grow. The diaries help me a lot. Its nice to be able to look back at previous grows especially when it comes to feeding schedule and monitoring progress.

@Wicked_Stix, I think documenting my grows will help me to improve a lot. I am trying to be transparent and share as much as possible. Not only do I want to help others, but I'd like suggestions and feedback that will help me to become a better cultivator. That's my favorite thing about this site is the sharing of knowledge and experiences. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!

@NorthernFrostCannabis, I left it in the dark longer than I'd planned, because I was hoping a day or 2 might help to finish. I was hoping it might get some if those clear heads to go amber. I like experimenting.

I wish I could see the other weeks you missed. I've missed some weeks yself from my latest diaries and it sucks =/ Is this the 3rd week of flowering? I wonder how much ppms are you giving mixing all this stuff? Ciao!

FoTwennycommented4 years ago

@amazongrow, She is probably in about week 4 or 5 if bloom. I don't have the garden on-site and I really was just trying to read the plant rather than stick to a schedule. I didn't take notes or document dates. Sorry my friend.

She looks like she's rocking solid, going very well. I can't say much as I had to do an early harvest on mine but already have 3 seeds ready to be popped. Northern Lights is one of my favs! Keep on the good work. Happy Growing 🙏

@Cgrow, Thank you! She has been a joy to grow. I ran a NL Auto from Royal Queen that finished when I was vegging this round and she was a very nice plant as well. This one smells similar, but a little sweeter and totally different structures. I am excited to see how she finishes!
