Solid week. Direct to soil is still doing well. It has a leaf with a yellow strip on it and I don’t think it’s a problem but rather a phenotype expression. I’ve seen leaves that split like this but never with such a bright yellow. Crazy. Rockwool survivor is doing well. It survived the top and is pushing new growth with the quickness. The new seedling is doing really well. No issues and is moving along at a nice pace. Everyone has excellent and incoming crop cover. I’m thinking that I’ll take clones from each plant and I’ll keep the winning pheno out of these three. I wasn’t planning on doing a hunt but I guess I hadn’t decided what I was going to do until now. So there. The clones don’t look great haha. I tried to go sans dome because I’ve decided to go no dome on seedlings. Buuuuut they need that humidity so I domed them up yesterday and I already see improvement. I also know that I haven’t seen this before but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’m placing the venom og cubes on the soil inside the pots the Gary Payton clones are set in. Seems like a fine use of space, a way to share moisture, keep the canopy more even, and ideally there is some biology exchange happening. I’m going to take some more clones this week. I’m looking to improve my aloe slurry, take better clones, and look for the healthiest ones to take to the next stage. I’ll pull anything that’s struggling. Venom OG mother is looking great since her transplant. After I thinned her out and took some clones, she’s bounced back and is pushing some really healthy looking new shoots. Aaaaaaaand, we started cooking up some TLO super soil mix 2.2. In addition to the recipe in the book we’ve also added a top layer of spent Brewer’s grain and laid a thin layer of bokashi grain below. As you can see we’re getting some nice fungal action just below that top later. We burried some bokashi after we mixed but before we dressed with the grain. We’re going to let these bins sit for 2 weeks and then start giving them a turn every couple of days. Ideally we’re using this soil for our next run. That’s the report for this week. Thanks for cruising along and happy growing ✌️🏼🌱
