So, jetzt endet mein Grow hier mit. Mein erster Grow jemals und noch dazu meine erste Automatic. Die Sorte Royal Bluematic war nicht unbedingt schwer anzubauen, sie hatte lediglich hier und da mal ein paar kleine Punkte von irgendwelchen Viechern, sonst nie Beschwerden gehabt. Würde nicht behaupten, dass die Pflanze extrem schwer anzubauen war aber auch nicht extrem leicht, allgemein kann ich das schlecht beurteilen, da es ja mein erster Grow war. Der Anbau war trotzdem recht einfach. Man sollte sie auf jeden Fall nicht hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit aussetzen, da meine zweite Bluematic ein paar Schimmel Stellen hatte, die hier zum Glück nicht. Im Endeffekt habe ich nicht viel gemacht, außer sie mal zu gießen, zu düngen und zu beschneiden. Ich bin mit 37g trockene Ernte rausgekommen. Hätte gedacht es ist deutlich weniger, bin aber sehr zufrieden ☺️ (Beim Nass Gewicht nur geschätzt, hab es nicht gewogen).

Hi Growmies~! What This Post is About Today, I'll be recording how to cultivate soil microbes at home. These microbes offer numerous benefits, and they are simple to make. How I Came Up with This Technique Since 2014, I’ve tried synthetic growing methods like DWC. While they gave quick results, I often ran into issues with consistency. Nutrients would expire during breaks, meaning I had to keep buying new bottles. I strongly felt I needed a change. A couple of years ago, after taking a break, I started to research and switched to organic growing. At first, it felt overwhelming with all the steps and prep work, but I saw real potential. After experimenting with different methods, I came across Korean Natural Farming (KNF) and JADAM, introduced by Mr. Cho. His simple, ultra low-cost techniques inspired me. They focus on letting nature do the work. While growing, I noticed that synthetic nutrient bottles were expensive, especially when trying to complete a full nutrient set. Organic growing may require more attention and can be costly when investing in organic materials. Preparing the soil in advance and top dressing with dry nutrients every other week - just these two methods were consuming space, time, and money. Indoor farming is unnatural, while organic farming is a natural approach. I had to bring these ideas together, but organic farming often seems geared toward large plots like farms. Incorporating organic techniques into my indoor garden requires a lot of effort and careful calculations. So this is one of my techniques for keeping my plants happy: supporting their daily needs helps them snap out of deficiencies quickly, allowing them to grow consistently. It took me a while to adapt this technique for indoor use. I hope this helps, guys! Supplies Needed - Potatoes: Provide nutrients and food for the microbes. - Sea Salt: Stimulates microbial activity and controls harmful organisms. - Dechlorinated Water: Allows the microbes to grow and multiply. - Compost, leaf mold, or worm castings: Contains natural microorganisms that are key for this process. How to Make (1 gallon) 1 cooked potato (about 2 golf ball-sized) 1 pinch of sea salt 2 tablespoons compost or worm castings 1 gallon dechlorinated water 1. Mix Ingredients: In a clean container, fill it with the dechlorinated water, dissolve the sea salt, and add the compost along with the mashed potato. 2. Ferment: Optionally cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours. 3. Strain (Optional): After fermentation, you can strain the solution if you prefer a clearer liquid. Note: Watch the timelapse video to see how the microbes activate! **WARNING** Wear gloves if possible and/or avoid contact with open wounds How to Use IMPORTANT: Always dilute the solution before applying it to plants. - Use when bubbles form a "pizza shape" on the surface. - Dilute 5-10 ml per liter of water for bi-weekly feeding. (Test a small batch first to find the best rate for your setup.) - Once the bubbles disappear, the microbes are likely inactive. You can either mix the rest with water as fertilizer or discard it. Pros Promotes Plant Growth - Usually fixes deficiencies in as little as 6 to 72 hours. - Improves nutrient absorption, and helps plants thrive. Boosts Plant Immunity - Works as IPM: Can be used as foliar sprays (no staining on leaves). - Lowers the risk of powdery mildew and other diseases. - Helps the soil ecosystem with beneficial organisms like predatory mites and springtails. - Naturally reduces pest pressure (Less risk of fungus gnats and other pests). Improves Soil Health & Supports Composting - Quickly breaks down organic matter and nutrients. - Makes growing organically in small containers, like 1-gallon pots, easy. - Over time, soil becomes softer and richer, even in small pots. Cost-Effective, Sustainable & Eco-Friendly - No need for complex equipment like pH pens, air pumps, or other tools. - Reduces the need for CalMag, N-P-K, or micronutrient supplements (just add a little bit of sea salt to every watering). - No sugar sources needed in the soil. - Works for all types of plants—houseplants, exotics, ornamentals, and crops. Cons - Limited shelf life; the solution will develop an unpleasant odor after a certain period. 1 Corinthians 10:26

Hemos empezado un cultivo con semillas del banco Sweet Seeds y toda la gama de nutrientes y coco premium de Plagron. Es nuestra primera vez con coco y esta marca de nutrientes pero nos va a sorprender para bien! Primero diluimos siete gotas de seedbooster plus en un litro de agua y dejamos la semilla en esa dilución 12 horas. Esa misma agua la usaremos para empapar el papel donde pondremos a germinar las semillas. Al segundo día ya tenemos las semillas nacidas, y los líquidos de riego los haremos a un ph de 5,8 y usaremos power roots, silice rock y pure zym para cada riego con una EC de 0,5. Una vez a la semana haremos una pulverización de vita start y otro día a la semana vita race. Hacemos una dilución de estos mismos de 1 ml por cada litro de agua para pulverizar dejando bien empapadas las hojas. Vita start nos aporta un npk bajo para nuestras pequeñas y vita race le aporta hierro, de manera que con ellas conseguimos un mejor enraizamiento, ramificación y un color sano de nuestras pequeñas en sus hojas. Tendremos que ir subiendo el nivel de la Ec, ya que pecaremos de cautos en comida al no haber usado nunca coco antes.😎

We coast on down the mountain. I'm ripen/flushing the 2 small girls this week and letting them finish and taking down the 2nd plant tonight! They probably could have gone a bit longer but I'm ready to move on and they are still gonna be a great smoke! ______________________________________________________________ Another feed of ripen. The trichomes on the short plant are about there the tall one isn't tho. I'm frustrated b/c i need the grow bags! ______________________________________________________ Flushing and getting there! Leaves are fading and tricomes are changing! I have the next gen crowded in there too... these girls need to finish! Also hoping I'm almost done drying the first plant too. ___________________________________________________ Dry isnt quite ready a week into it. i can wait 10 days. I did chop of a little bud to try and ooo baby! it singed my nose when I opened the grinder! So delicious! I'm way excited now! Just waiting out the last 2 although at this point I think I can pull em. Just finishing the week

Estas chicas son un experimento. Puse cuatro de ellas en una sola macetera y les di únicamente 2 semanas de vegeta. Por lo general hago un crecimiento de meses y nunca había hecho una planta con tan poco crecimiento.... , y por lo que proyecto, también vale la pena hacer cultivos rápidos. Es impresionante lo que han crecido en esta semana. Se ven sanas. Buenos humos

Well, what can I say. She’s a beast. No nutrient deficiencies that I can see, leaves all seem green and healthy. Nute balance, PPMS and PH is dialled in, staying at around 1000 TDS 0.7. That’s not a typo, she’s drinking 7 litres/2 gallons per day. I think she’s doubled her size in 7/8 days. She’s a bit bushy, as I’ve been really busy this last week I haven’t been able to defoliate. Nutes remain the same, slight decrease in nitrogen going into week 2 of flower.

More and more colors this week, trying to get the best pictures. I gotta cut it down because the trichomes are there. Gotta prep it for that with a little defoliation.

Week_1 There's nothing great to report about the first week. I had 2 fans running at the beginning, but after 3 days I turned one fan off because it was stressing the right plant a bit too much (leaves drooping). After turning off the fan, the leaves turned back towards the light. Otherwise, I watered as before. I added 1 liter of reverse osmosis water, 2 ml of CalMag and watered each pot with 0.5l divided into 2 intervals. In order to increase the humidity in the tent, I started using the humidifier from day 4. During the day the humidity is 55% and at night it is 68%.

Bueno arranca la semana con pocos cambios en la disposición de las cosas, se ve el rostro de la floración… una crece y se desarrolla más que la otro, se ve que la izquierda siempre inspira más… mantendremos la solución a 1.2 EC el PH siempre a 5.9. Por el resto todo va igual, dejaré el filtro de carbón activo para las últimas 4 semanas. Esperemos no haya mucho olor por ahora. Iré actualizando novedades en un par de días.
