Fo' Twenny here with another update on my Sugar Tits bred by Ultra Genetics!
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now on to the details!
9/13 - Day 35: Premixed soil to prepare for upcoming transplanting.
SOIL MIX DETAILS:
Mixed into a 50 gallon container that will be kept in a warm environment to help innocculate to promote a vast and diverse microbial life in the rhizosphere.
2 Part - Royal Gold Tupur
INGREDIENTS: Coco fiber, aged forest materials, perlite, and basalt
1 Part - Fox Farms Ocean Forest
INGREDIENTS: Aged forest products, sphagnum peat moss, earthworm castings, bat guano, fish emulsion, and crab meal.
1 Part - Roots Organics
INGREDIENTS: Perlite, Coco Fiber, Peat Moss, Composted Forest Material, Pumice, Worm Castings, Bat Guano, Soybean Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Fishbone Meal, Kelp Meal, and Greensand. Also contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi: Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus intraradices, Septoglomus desertรญcola
.5 Part - Wiggle Worm Soil Builder Pure Earthworm Castings
.5 Part - Ancient Forest Humus
.5 Part - Coarse Grade Perlite
Inocculated by mixing 1 cup of Extreme Gardening Mycos
Watered with pH 6.5 h2O
1 Tsp/gal Real Grower's Recharge
1 tsp/gal Hi-Brix Molasses
2 tsp/gal Fox Farms Kangaroots
9/16 - Day 38: This cultivar is looking really good! I did notice some white blotches on a few leaves as well as several other plants in the garden. I'm not if it's just water spots from my helper's carelessly watering causing water spots from the Nutrient solution or the start of a PM infection. Never really dealt with PM, but decided to spray them with some serenade. I also sprinkled with a little more White Dutch Clover seed on top soil.
9/17 - Day 39: I installed the new 320w GeekLight in the 24" x 48" veg tent.
GOOD NEWS:
I upgraded the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light. $306 USD after all is said and done. It took 9 calendar days to ship from China.

@FoTwenny,
Its not to much, its a lot for people like me, who have just a simpel ph meter.
But its intresting to read and see how what nutrients cause of reaction in the water.
The info about all the things you use is nice and good for those who want to buy or are into DIY electronics.
That grow tent looks massive 2.
The microgreens in the pots are awesome!!!
๐๐๐๐๐
@Theia, Thank you! ๐ I never heard of this train, but she does have an enticing name and her lineage sounds promising. Sugar Tits is a cross between Sour Grape Kush and the Cup winning Animal Cookies strain. I am hoping for something special with her!
Always fun when you have a great strain with a funny name ๐
Friends always give you that look the first time they hear it. Have fun with that one ๐
The plant herself looks awesome so far FT. Keep it up.
Your plants always look so pretty๐ and happy๐, how long did it take for you to get that massive nutrient schedule down and how did you figure out the doses?
@FoTwenny, Very cool, and not as complicated as I thought๐. I'm on my second grow ever, and going all organic. Need to make adjustments though since I'm seeing a lot of dark green nitrogen heavy leaves in a few of my plants; think I have a redundant nitrogen source I'm going to stop using.
@NSCanna, Thanks for the kind words! Well, I just took the manufacturer nutrient schedule and put it into an excel spreadsheet and put down , full, half, and quarter strength instructions. With a little trial and error, I found feeding once per week at half strength seemed to be the sweet spot. I added a few extras to make everything balanced and complete. That said, I just installed a new RO system and will probably end up making more adjustments. Coming soon, I will be taking cuttings and running this line side by side with a super Coco mix to see what kind of results we get. I am hoping the super soil will be as good or better and will save money and a lot of time mixing.
@MrJones, Yes, just use my cell phone. Eventually I will invest in a camera with some nice lenses. The lights make my phone's color correction freak out and I usually try to edit them to get them to look right, but I just haven't had time. I am looking forward to having some time off work for the holidays!
@FoTwenny, I could not sleep last night and decided to check out some diaries I was behind on, I always love looking at yours, damn I am following over 300 that is way to busy!
I still can't get over the name of some of these strains ๐
That aside, This plant looks super healthy and is responding well to training. Great work :)
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, Oh, I noticed, but now I know what it's called thanks to you! I appreciate you stopping by my friend! Happy holidays to you and a happy new year!

@Buddha2, Yes, I agree. I am pretty sure the name alone is whynviewers selected this strain to be grown. That said, I am really happy with it and she looks very nice
