Busy couple of weeks but things are still moving over here. Transferred everything from veg to flower. Everyone got a little stressed as I let them veg for longer than I should have in the smaller containers. Some good new is that there are many worms in the soil and all of the ladies bounced back quickly.
All of the AZ plants are looking good for now although I am still battling mites. I’ve been rotating foliar sprays and will do a round of wettable sulfur this week on Wednesday (2 tbsp/gallon). Last week I used Bronner’s, the week previous neem oil, the week previous Dawn - all two applications/week. I had also applied DE the week before that. Things look to be under control but I’m not going to let up while this batch is still in veg.
I also deep cleaned both tents and have left the veg tent vacant now for almost two weeks. I’ll get some babies going in there soon and I’ll be super careful about cross contaminating.
I also Took a KNF class and have started fermenting a full spectrum bloom fertilizer (a number of fruits, veggies, peppers, and brown sugar) that I’ll be pairing with humic and amino acids. I’ll also be making some WSC using oyster shell powder and brown rice vinegar. I’ll also be making a Fish Amino Acid after I finish fermenting my bloom formula.
I’ll detail my ratios as I go but I will be starting at 1/16 tsp humic/gal/wk, 1/4 tsp Aminos, 5ml FAA (every two weeks) and then in flower 1/4 tbsp WSC and 1.5ml of the full spectrum bloom mix. I think that this is going to get me moving in a good direction. I’m building/mixing my own compost/soil, and now making my own inputs. I have a clear schedule and enough new info to make some serious improvements.
I’m still cooking a bokashi bucket that I’ve let go longer this time around. I’m giving it another week before I bury it. The reason is because I’ve been finding that some of the larger chunks need a little more properly break down and I’ve been finding some whole pieces of things in the soil. Not a serious issue but I live in an urban area and I def do no want to attract critters and I feel like whole chunks of things in cooking soil could attract some critters.
THere’s a snap of some cured Venom OG from my most recent run. The buds could have been larger and some might say that I could be a little more aggressive with my trim. These little guys are greasy, smelly, and stoney.
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, thank you again! Best quality nugz I’ve gotten from this plant yet. Moving on to other strains but I’ll have some VOG headies for months to come!
@XoticGROW666, I wish I knew. I had to cull one, put one outside to collect pollen, I killed 4 and I have 4 in veg right now. I flowered my last venom og and my most mature AZ together but it turned out to be male so I culled it. I should have some Umami terps soon but just not yet. I’m throwing at least one into flower in about a month. Thanks for checking in bruh and stay tuned for umami terps down the line ✌️🏼🌱
@ThrashedTV_BakedByGlaze,
The sweet basil is in its own pot and we’re growing it as a companion plant. I’ve got white clover going as a cover crop. Cover crops are supposed to be good for soil health and contribute to a healthier food web. So far so good. As for the soil, it’s a combination of two premixed organic grow blends that I amended slightly. It’s working for the time being but I’ll need to keep working on it to dial it in. Thanks for cruisin!
@Itslegalnow, you know, mostly not but sort of.
I had to chop all of this down. Mites got the best of my garden while I was out of town. I tried to get them in check before I left. In my veg tent I did but my flower tent was pretty bad when I returned. I cleaned it out, bleached it, let it sit for 3 weeks, bleached it again, let it sit for three weeks and bleached it again.
I gave most of my clones away but I save. MAC1 and and AZ4. I put those in my flower tent after a couple rounds of topping and they’re like 15 days in now.
I killed the Bokashi experiment. It works. You can make super rich soil in a small urban space. But I don’t have to and I’m not going to anymore 😂
I switched to pots, ditched the beds. Everything is clean and in good working order. If everything goes according to plan I’ll harvest in about 50 days 😎
Sorry for the long answer to the short question bit as you can see, no but yes needed some explaining. That said, I’m happy to chat growing anytime.
Thanks!
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Greetings from L.S.T 🙏🏼🌟
