Big week! I got my new EarthBoxes and a bunch of goodies. I picked up the Probiotic Farmer's Alliance kit from BuildASoil, so I also got some EM-1, Kashi Blend, dolomite lime and Malibu compost. Alongside that I picked up Colorado Worm Compost (vermicompost), Gnarley Barley (malted barley, corn and hemp) and Craft Blend (aprox 3-5-2 organic mix). Unfortunately there was a bag of soil missing, so I ended up using my own mix though I am somewhat scared of it being too clay-heavy for the SIP. I inoculated with EM-1 and began fermenting a batch of activated EM-1 to make the bottle last longer.
It looks about a week from LST, after that I hope to set up a two-tier SCROG setup and begin growing the bushes. I will begin spraying AEM-1/EM-FPE/EM-5 alternatively once a week for IPM, I will try to avoid using neem this round (unless I find this approach lacking). I also brewed a batch of EM-FPE with aloe that smells incredible, I can't wait to give it a go.
@donutgrower, i thinks it wonβt do much different now. Mycorrhiza works with new root growth. And think your pot is full of root already.
It took longer but your ladies will all get there.
@Med_in_Tropic I completely forgot to inoculate this round and it's very noticeable. I wasn't sure whether to go through with it and add Mykos to my top dressing like the Mendo Dope boys do or just wait it out and compare next run with vs without. Not sure yet but great observation!
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy thank you! Same, I am a fan of the curling with frost so I'm probably keeping the Shockwave #1 for another few runs to see how far I can take it!
Hopefully just some pH flux instead of a leaf spot/rust! I had a little spotting on my seedling this week and just added a tiny bit of Hydrogen Peroxide to my spray bottle and it cleared it up faster than Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding π
Good luck with the rest of your grow π
@ThrashedTV_BakedByGlaze thanks for the heads up ππΌ, I looked at GrowWeedEasy's chart of issues and it does look similar to ph issues, I overlooked that aspect completely. I appreciate the support, all the best with your grows too!
