'Malanasa Cookies' by Exoticseed

Hello all! Just catching up on previous week updates with all the girls now that they're sticking around. This is week 2 with Malanasa Cookies (Days 8-15). The Deets: The Good: -Transplant and transition to a new medium worked out better then I could imagine. In Week 1 I'll go over some issues I was having (again...) with the medium I was using and things just weren't working for me anymore. Made a move to organic Super Soil from BlueSky Organics and holy crap...not looking back with this. -New super soil with micro dosing of microbials has proven to really work and have given these girls incredible vigor. Since the move and the noticeable positive changes, I had very little worry about them and except for basic watering, maintenance and tent acclimation, I didn't have to do squat!😃 The 'Meh': -Will cover in week one, but all is well now. Just had a slow start and there was lost time. I'm used to losing time here and there from my eff up's and why I like my photo's so much. Forgiving for newbies like myself. Notes of the Week: -Got sick of doing manual slurry tests that were just a very rough estimate of soil pH. They worked well enough for awhile, but with issues I've had in the past 3 grows with an "off" medium, I just don't want to guess anymore and purchased a BlueLab Soil pH tester with Dibble built in. This and a new BlueLab Digital Liquid pH tester have made for a more confident grow, now. Not guessing and checking anymore, but have solid reads and calibration with this set👍. -On pot up I decided to drop the Bone Meal this round and move to Dolomite lime instead (sparingly). With the P/Cal issues I had in grow 3, I would like to avoid any root zone blockage that may occur do to excess. Miicrobial mass was also purchased for this reason and is being used intermittently (usually half dose) to help break up any compounds building at the zone, and making them more bio available to the girls. I picked up this tip from @Nor_Cal_Kannabliss who walked me through using my first super soil and how to use what's there before jumping into synthetics or other nutrient lines. Works like a hot damn NorCal, thanks!😃 -Have two tent units fully operational now (except one has no lamp😅) and we are expanding. In current talks for a new peice of lighting tech that I'm really hoping goes through, so I can start using the second unit and amp up production. Both these units were built to the exact same specs... except for ones carbon filter exhaust (425 CFM vs 390 CFM). Acclimated and automated in the exact same way as well. These units will hopefully be used for future product testing and equivalency tests between lamps, nutrient lines, soils, etc... Just stuff to experiment with! -Plan to start cloning and working out my first SOG grow once the ACMPR license comes back. Something I've always wanted to do, but didn't have access to that many plants before. So! Hopefully in a few months I can start my first 12-16 plant SOG on 4-5 week Veg. That's the ball game for this week. In week 1 I'll list all equipment and devices and possibly breeder notes. Not sure I'll do a Germination week... It's just a seed and Paper towel... we'll see. Anywho, thanks for stopping by and I'll catch you on the flip side👋✊
