Grow Schedule to Date:
Sprout: 3/1/17 (Full moon)
Age: Day 25 as of 3/25/18
Updates/Observations:
- Water only for this last week and next. Soil is very hot so I don't need to cycle any of those nutrients down right now.
- Plants showing light burns on lower foliage but nothing serious yet.
- Trying to keep the soil always slightly moist and never let it dry completely to keep microbes (and by extension the soil) at optimum health.
- CQ1 is still miniaturized and has shown sex so I think she is going to finish very small, if she makes it at all. I am worried the hot soil will burn her down because she wont ever get big.
- CQ2s leaves show a very strong Sativa expression and I love it.
- CQ2 is growing very vigorously.
- All plant showing sex (F).
Worm Feeding:
- This week I fed my worms about a pound or so total of: Banana, mango, dill, tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, aloe filet, green beans, covered in a dash of oyster shell and alfalfa meal.
- I layer down some canna leaves, layer diced up worm food, sprinkle dry amendments (kelp, oyster shell, neem, etc.), layer canna leaves, then replace bedding and they are happy!
- Creating the food layer protected by the green manure gives the worms a nice buffer zone to move freely through eating as much as they want.
- This method is inspired by HerbinFarmer on Youtube. I really enjoy his videos so if you have time, check him out!
Cheers!

@GrimbolTheDruid, hoping for some pep in your step nugs! Well judging by there looks I think your gonna make off hella good. Loving your all organic feel! Love companion plants as well. I use to have basil chilling to ward off thrips. Careful you don’t cut your fingers on those sharp leaves!! 😂😂
These plants in this grow will come out beautifully I'm sure! Such care and passion are put into your work. I'm excited to see the next update. Keep it up!
@bobo420,
Growing cannabis is how I discovered a love for soil life and then by extension other plants and now I just love it all and can’t wait for summer so I can garden again outside.
@GrimbolTheDruid, you're welcome! I often have some other plants in the tent too, start the seedling or clones of something that goes in the garden, or just grow it till the end in the tent :) it's interesting to play with plants, glad to see more people do it ;)
@bobo420,
The little clovers just make me happy haha. I am thinking about getting some peppers and beans started though in other pots in the corner maybe. 🤔
Thanks for stopping by!
