I used Gaia Green's Organic Living Soil and their 2-8-4 Power Bloom. Their products were readily available at a local hydroponics store and cost effective. I felt I was over watering the living soil but the plants seemed to love it. The simplicity of this method is on point. No need to pH. Going to change it up for the next grow because I like to try different methods. I'll still be using the Gaia Green dry amendments since they also worked wonders in my outdoor tomato, and cucumber garden!
This is my first indoor grow. I purchased a stealth box because I was skeptical of a tent's ability to weed out the smell. Striving for quality over quantity since my large hauls are for outdoor cultivation. This crop had a bout of Fungus Gnats which was treated with sticky traps and beneficial nematodes. Nematodes erradacred the gnats and their larvae, but caused a minor disease with slight spotting of some fan leaves. Candy Cane Autoflower germinated 4/5 seeds and maintained adequate health until harvest. Two phenotypes were more prone to stretch than the other two (perhaps user error). One plant was removed to finish outside because it was a late bloomer - still had too many clear trichomes for my liking around harvest time. Plants were harvested with the majority of trichomes being cloudy with some amber ones scattered throughout. I encountered many firsts in this grow and I made a few mistakes I'll correct on the next run. Zero smell from the Stealth Box during the grow and dry. I'll update once dried, weighed, and tested. The crop is currently in the second week of dry.
