My first diary running Auto Colorado Cookies from Dutch Passion. I’m doing two of these in 3 gallon fabric pots using recycled organic soil from a previous run and a seed starter I made. The bottom 2/3 of the pot is filled with the recycled soil that has been amended and the top 1/3 is a seed starter mixed with a few handfuls of the amended soil. I’m finishing up another Dutch Passion grow using this same soil mix and it’s finishing beautifully. Always looking to improve so I’ll be adding a couple extra things this time.
Here is my soil mix. The amended soil cooked for 6 weeks and the seed starter for about 2 weeks.
Recycled Soil Mix (bottom 2/3)
- 5 gallons recycled Roots Organic Original
- 1.25 gallons Coast of Maine Lobster Compost
- 1 gallon perlite
- 1/8 cup oyster shell powder
- 1/8 cup dolomite lime
- 1/4 cup azomite
- 3 tablespoons greensand
- 1 tablespoon langbeinite
- 1 cup of mixed dry amendments containing equal parts of Down to Earth All Purpose 4-6-2, Down to Earth Alfalfa Meal, Down to Earth Crab Meal, Plantonix Neem Meal and a double amount of Espoma Kelp Meal
Used 4 gallons of the above (2 gallons per pot) and stored the rest for later.
Seed Starter (top 1/3)
- 2.5 gallons peat moss
- 2.5 gallons Coast Of Maine Lobster Compost
- 2.5 gallons perlite
- 1/2 cup oyster shell
- 1/2 cup dolomite lime
- 1 cup azomite
Used 2 gallons of the above (1 gallon per pot) and stored the rest.
After filling the pots, I soaked the seeds in rain water for 24 hours and then planted directly to the 3 gallon pots. Seeds broke through soil after 3 days. The plan for this grow is to use collected rain water, a couple top dressings, an occasional tea and some Recharge.
Sorry for the long rant, I’m just trying to be as detailed as possible🌱🔥💨✌️
Hi
Great plantas you got here. Trying to go organic to. Thank you for yoiur aswer About my issue in my cookies dont think its calmag def and heat its about 20c night to 25c day. I think more in nitogen toxity. But as it dosent evolve im stock on the limbo. My soil was all about peat moss and vermicompost and some mycorrize. Think it as a little bit of overshoted nitrogen.
@StayWeeded, did some reading and made a go for it. Peat moss, vermicompost, micos, perilite and some vercumite. Week 6 and its looking good. If he can make it trouth i will give it a second run só a can ser the longevity of my simples super mix soil 😁😁
@@Jixxx, Thank you! Organics definitely has a learning curve but I love it. Spend time building your soil and say goodbye to deficiencies. As for yours, I don’t think it’s a nitrogen toxicity. Signs of that are very dark green leaves and they will be clawing down at the tips. Did you build your soil yourself? Peat moss, vermicompost and mycos are all good things to use though.
Looks like some amazing smoke brother. What would you say the trichome colors are on these? 100% Cloudy? trying to judge my trichomes based on when others grow... Check mine out if u get a chance!
Thx
Greengrows
@@GreenGrows, thanks, hoping it’s as good a smoke as it smells! Definitely not 100% cloudy anymore. If you zoom in to the photos, you’ll see a bunch of amber trichs throughout. I’d say mostly cloudy with around 20% amber and a few clear left.
I’ll check in on your diary and let you know what I think. ✌️
What size are your pot? What size its the best to got from sede to harvest organic? Im using 30L soil in a wide pot with 5L of expanded clay balls at the bottom
@@Jixxx, these are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I’ve finished in 3, 5, and 7 gallon pots organically. I have photoperiods in the 7 gallons but they went for over 4 months. I do autos in 3-5 gallons though and I’m pulling about 2oz per plant.
