Monday - day 50 - start of week 8 The girls are looking really well. Took to the LST nicely and has lovely colours. Turned the pots around so the plants are directly under the lights. Haven't watered in 10 days and the soil is still moist. The worms have dug into the soil and are working hard. I see the odd one moving about if I look under the mulch, but I know they are in there. Hopefully alive :D --- Saturday day 55 the girls still didn't need watering (15 days since last watering) but as the funguns gnats are getting out of hand so I needed to water to attack. Mixed 2 tablespoons of malt barley powder (contains chtinase which should kill those buggers) with 8 litres of water, added the nematodes (they fight the fungus gnat larvae, got them off amazon) and drenched the soil (2 litres each). Mixed another 8 litres with half a teaspoon of aloe vera powder, 25ml neem oil, 50ml soap and drenched/foliar sprayed the plants with this. Replaced stickies ---- Sunday day 56 I would say about 80% fewer fungus gnats on the stickies than in previous days, something helped. Not sure if it is the neem, barley or nematodes. They'll be getting the neem and barley again next week for sure. Nematodes in another couple of weeks. The nematodes package came with something called "zoot off" which should help keep the gnats away too. Something olive based and organic, I will add tomorrow. The girls are looking great! What a different from the beginning of the week and the end of the week! I'll start floweing next week. Thinking of doing an experiment with those since they are clones: Plant 1 - defoliation and removing lower branches which wont be getting as much light. I.e. will have fewer bugs Plant 2- Schwazzing and leaving all bud sites. i.e. remove all the leaves Plant 3 - defoliation leaving all the branches and buds If you think there are other technique to try out instead let me know.

The clone that is in the cup has droopy leaves. I thought it was overwatered so I let it dry for a few days and watered it again today, still droopy. What could be causing this?

Youre clones arfe droopy because youre overwatering them. I noticed your daytime temps are below 65. Guess what, youre plants are hardly drinking or growing so your overwatering. This happens in my greenhouse in the winter here down south. Water less and consider getting a heater or keeping all your young plants bunched together so they biomass warms them until they get a little larger.

Ordered some tiger worms to add to the pots. Any precautions/tips to increase their chance of survival? Got a lot of mulch and cover crop already.

Hi ! Tijgerwormen of ook wel compostwormen, verwerken organisch materiaal in de bodem. Nadien breken ze de organische stoffen af met de bacteriën en enzymen in hun darmkanaal en dit geeft dan weer meer voedingsstoffen aan je planten😉 Win-win situatie dus. Ze planten zich snel verder, maar kunnen niet goed tegen licht, stress en droogte. Zorg er dus voor dat ze zich goed kunnen bewegen door de aarde, dat deze luchtig genoeg is en steeds voldoende vochtig. En natuurlijk niet te vergeten, dat ze goed kunnen eten, dat er dus voldoende compostmateriaal/organisch materiaal aanwezig is in je bodem. Je kan dit extra gaan toevoegen. Ik hoop dat ik kon helpen 🙂 Veel succes met groeien!🌱

Water these pots with 4L, they look good for a day then get all droopy again. Transplanted them 8 days ago to these pots. Worried something else is wrong and am overwatering. Should they be taking this much water? Topsoil

The fact they are looking good after watering then drooping again soon afterwards, tells me the substrate is overly dry. Four litres is not unreasonable, however I would suggest giving them one litre every half hour, so that they get the 4 litres over 2 hours. This way if your substrate is over dry and the water is just running straight through the pot without being effectively absorbed, the staggered watering method can help to rehydrate the substrate. This way, the first litre gets "sucked" up properly and swells the soil a bit, before the next litre is given and due to the swollen soil, more of the second litre will be absorbed more effectively, the same thing happening with litres three and four. It is a bit like blowing up a balloon, each time you add a litre and let it get "sucked" up a bit, the further the moisture will penetrate the soil, until the soil is fully moistened from edge to edge and top to bottom, just like filling a balloon a bit more with each breath. After getting your soil evenly moistened, try to maintain an even moisture level that is not too wet or not too dry. This can be a bit tricky to work out and has a lot of variables, such as temps, air flow, the plants size and requirements etc, but with time and experience, you will master this skill. At first you may have to repeat the four litre trick a second or even third day in a row, until your plants are staying normal and not drooping by the next day and the entire volume of soil has become evenly re-moistened again. A good way to know when to water again is by literally sticking your finger in to the soil and if the top inch or so is dry, then it is time to water deeply until run off, once again, and water the whole surface of the pot, not just next to the plant, roots will not grow in dry soil, nor will nutrients be available. Sticking your finger into multiple spots in the pot can be a better overall way to make a determination to the dryness of the entire pot. Watering to run off will ensure that water has penetrated from top to bottom and can help prevent any mineral salts from the fertilizers, from building up in your soil. Hope this helps,....

Interesting to see how the moisture level of the top soil changes with the tide. Low tide ~40% high tide it goes up to 45%

Middle of week 5 really as i post at the end of week this is showing as if it is week 4. I should switch to posting beginning of the week. Installed new heater and temperatures are better: 18 at night 25 during the day. Potted the plant from the cup today. Hope she takes well to the soil. Watered the pots 1.5L across the 4

Tuesday middle of week 10 (first week of flowering schedule), made some aerated compost tea today and watered the girls. Each pot got 2L of watered down aerated compost tea and 2L of water with aloe vera powder and malt barley.
