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 after I observed some light nutrient burn on the lower leaves. I am going to let her get a little more established for another week at least before I increase the nutrient cycling with an active bacteria culture like Recharge again.
- I water about every 2-3 days a little bit to always keep the soil a little damp. As I understand it in organics, you don't want the soil to ever really dry out completely like with salt based nutrients.
- Showed sex around 20 or so (F)
- Still the biggest plant in the garden. Extremely vigorous growth!
- Inter-nodal spacing is medium, what I would say is perfect.
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 Herbin Farmer on Youtube. I really enjoy his videos so if you have time, check him out!
Cheers!

@GrimbolTheDruid, yea I’m curious as well. I’ve been wanting to take a crack at a CBD strain. I bet your right it’s a refreshing mid afternoon smoke. You’ll enjoy that smoke report that’s for sure!
@TeflonDonFarms,
Yeah she is the biggest in the garden with pretty tight internodal spacing. I am so curious to see how it smokes though. I’m hoping it’s a light refreshing daytime high.
@GrimbolTheDruid, sweet!!! 👊🏻 Must try it too! 🙃 sometimes is nice to get out of the confort zone 👍🏻 . Beautiful panorama by the way! Looks very peaceful! Take care! Cheers!
@CANNASIM,
I am absolutely loving it!
I definitely mixed up my soil a little too hot for the poor girls though. Maybe they will do better in flower when they really need the nutes but we will see!
I have only given them water their whole lives so far which is so crazy different from my previous grows. I can literally open the tent and water them in about 3-5 mins flat compared to the hour plus it used to take. I just give them about .2 gals water every 2 days or so and no issues.
The cover crop is just doing awesome and I love having that life there instead of bare soil which looks weird to me now haha.
Growers love!

Welcome back bro! Very interesting aproach, love Mendodope and Subcool, this organic aproach feels like more technical to do it right, but gives a much cleaner product, hope you enjoy, will be following to see the development! 🙃👍🏻 Cheers, happy growing!
@CANNASIM,
Thanks for stopping in!
I am super excited to see how this turns out as well. I am a little nervouis though with these being autos that my super soil is going to burn them. I tried to decrease the overall PPM of dry amendments but I am still a littler nervous she might burn.
As far as this style being more technical I would have to respectfully disagree with you my friend! I am someone who used to enjoy following a set schedule and making sure I wasn't 1 mL over what I was supposed to be watering with. With this style it is more like, 'a handful of this, handful of that' mentality which I am really enjoying. The more I start to understand plants as a whole, the more I realize they don't need my super special cannabis knowledge, they just need a few simple amendments and for me to get out of the way so they can do their thing!
Happy growing man!

There’s a guy named Nattie G CherryCheeks707 on YouTube. In 1 of his vids you can see chickens running under the plants with the straws in 50 gal pots .... all Indoor 😄😅😂
