Week 4
Here we go with the fourth week of my grow, things have been even though I had a small accident with the SFLK#2, hopefully she's gonna fully recover.
STEP 4: Transform the fermented food waste into soil compost.
Soil composition 180 liters approx.
4x20 liters light mix (80 liters)
4x16 liters of homemade wet fermented with bokashi (64 liters)
1.25 liters chabasite zeolite. 1% of the total volume (For the cationic exchange which serves to retain the elements that are washed away by irrigation or excess and releases them to the plants when needed. release to plants gradually)
1 liter of biochar at the bottom of each compost bin, so that it soak up the bokashi tea and increase the bacterial flora
Some reported info from the guys I buyt the biochar from:
With organic biochar, the nutrients present in soil can be better stored, the delivery and bioavailability of nutrients improved which in turn leads to more efficient results. With regular use, soils are permanently improved, which translates into better growth, higher yields and healthier plants. The use of organic Biochar promotes and improves;
Soil Health โ through long-term stewardship; increased microbial activity, water retention, reduced soil compaction
Climate Stability โ through careful monitoring of the net carbon footprint of our activities;
Water Use โ through making agricultural production at all scales cleaner and more efficient;
Biological Diversity โ through the use of sustainably produced feed stocks only;
Waste Avoidance โ through better use of biomass waste;
Food Security โ through improving soils and conserving agricultural land; increased production and quality
Energy Security โ through energy efficiency and utilizing excess energy from biochar production;
Community Health โ through respecting and investing in our communities; and more.
Making Biochar also traps CO2 gas in the carbonized biomass and creates a โsoil reefโ where valuable microorganisms can multiply, making nutrients and minerals more available to plants, that in turn make these nutrients and minerals available to us. This ability to make the char recalcitrant, or permanent, makes it carbon negative, or a valuable method to mitigate climate change by fixing, or โtrappingโ the CO2 in the char, and putting it back into the soil, where it belongs.
PROGRESS:
DAY 22: All good, the begin of the fourth week doesnot look bad at all!
DAY 23: Why do I not keep my mouth shut? Had an accident with the thermoigrometer that was hanging on the ceiling of the growtent and fall straight on top of the SFLK#2, obviusly breaking the stem. Hopefully I hopefully fixed it with some clonex gel (not to let air go through) and paper tape. Started some LST on the SFLK#1.
DAY 24: The plant is resting under a dome with lot's of humidity. 12h after, only the closest fan leaf was a bit down, let's hope for the best, f**k me! The top of the SFLK#1 it's already facing up, after 8h.
DAY 25: After 48h of "lockdown" under the dome,oloks like she survived, shooting, slowly, a newpair of leaves, even though I bet she did not appreciate that snap!
DAY 26:SFLK#1 is growing good, nice strong stem, just few cm between nodes, the LST it's going good.
DAY 27: Wondering what's going on to the SFLK#2
DAY 28: No pics today guys, I had few things to do in the morning and once I got back lights were off already! Anyway pretty much the same as yesterday :)
See you next week fellow growers.
@Pennello, Yeah mate all good. I was about to do my next grow but unfortunately now I can't. This COVID19 shit has changed many things ๐
But yes, basically I am here everyday just check out on others ;)
