Lots of nutrients burn. I think it's okay now but I stress the word 'think'. The brown spots on the edges of the leaves seemed to have abated. All coming on nicely though. Autopot working wonders. The plant seems to be getting through 1.5 litres a day.

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

Finally at the end of another grow, unfortunately it's the worst grow I've done!!! My heart just wasn't in this grow! It started out well until the flowering stage. Which was right around Christmas, super busy with other things, not maintaining them every day. Leaving them days at a time 4 to5 days before checking ph & ec! So they were constantly rising to high levels, went away a few days & had a watering line come loose flooding the tent & draining the reservoir so they had no water or nutrients for days. Pure laziness!

Terminamos la 2ª semana de floración, pese a estar a 30cm del lec, estiró más de la mitad de la anterior semana, solo hay que ver las primeras fotos que son al comienzo de la 2 a ver el vídeo que es el día que terminó. El único inconveniente es la humedad, no consigo bajar del 60%. Para ello haré una defoliación agresiva para evitar hongos, espero no arruinar el cultivo por culpa de la humedad. Seguimos firmes 🤟🏼☄️

preflower on Day 33

Fast buds new originals lineup Sour Diesel auto is beginning its 4th week of flowering today Jan 4th 2020 The two plants are very different in both size shape and structure with plant number 1 being tall and lanky with big internodal spacing whilst Plant 2 is a squat bushy two headed monster 😂 They both have a citrus like smell . Fed only water this week just gone . Thanks for stopping by 👍

📅 Week 5 | 🗓️ Days 29–35 – Low, wide, and locked-in 🔸 Growth & structure: Biscotti Gelato is loving life this week. She’s sitting low and proud with a tidy, pancake-flat canopy—tops marching in perfect formation. The main stem is chunky with neat training “knuckles,” and the undercarriage is clean so light and air glide right through. Leaves are a deep, happy green and holding that cute “hands-up” pray—no burns, no drama. 🔸 Training: Kept the LST/manifold rhythm going. Tie-downs are doing their job and everything stays level. I plucked a few interior fans—just enough to let the center breathe and give those fresh tips some runway 🔸 Looking to Week 6: Keep the table-top shape. Only snip leaves that clearly throw shade, and give the ties a gentle retighten so all leaders stay shoulder-to-shoulder. Once the footprint is nicely packed, we’re ready to flip—time to trade squats for stretch. 🌸 📈 Current Conditions: 🌡️ Day: 26 °C 🌡️ Night: 19 °C 💨 Humidity: 60% 🔦 PPFD: 400–500 µmol (18/6 light cycle) 🛠️ Setup: 💡 Spider-Farmer 100 W ⛺ Tent: 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

We’re kicking off week 3 of veg today, and things are looking up. She seems to be bouncing back nicely from that magnesium deficiency—leaves are perking up, color's evening out, and overall growth is picking up again. I topped her at the 5th node and gave her some light LST. After about 3–4 days of recovery, I removed a few lower leaves that were sitting in the dirt and getting in the way during watering. Feeding her 500 PPM at a pH of 5.8

Everything is well with this grow. She continues to swell and fatten up. Super excited for the final product as she is starting to smell better and better. Watering every day and adding water to the self watering pots. She drinks a ton!

Premise was to see how "optimal" i can get my first ever Grow. After some Research i came up with the idea to build an Aeroponic System myself using Water Buckets and Venturi Injektors to provider proper aeration. Sadly Seedlings had to wait in EazyCubes cause some parts and Nutrients didnt arrive on time. System was fully operationable on Day 16. Atami Nutrients are inside the System since Day 24, Calmag has been added Day 28. Before that, some Tri-part Nutrient. Planning on switching to Plagron in the Long run, as well as adding Co2, a water chiller and a ~700W LED. Stats: - 5 30L Buckets, 4 Plants and 1 Reservoir - Recirculation happens through 90mm PVC pipes - 16000 l/h pump going through 4x 1" Venturi Injektors pulling around 700 liters of Air per hour - 1mx1mx2m Growtent - 250W The Jackson Nemesis LED Happy about any Questions and Suggestions!

Been a working week! Defoliated twice! First I did lower fan leaves, waited a few days and snipped the Rest to allow light to reach all news growth! Dynomyco is a banger it’s got these girls so sturdy! Just look at the stems and how much growth I have already and this is just day 28 in veg! A lot more to come! I can’t wait! Still continuing with foliar sprays a few times a day!

GENERAL COMMENT. This week ran nicely for the two girls, of course one is going slower than the other. RQS STRESS KILLER AUTO. Super happy with the results so far, she grew nice size buds, in the surrounding and a big fat main cola, just beautiful. As we are entering the last week, of last tree days, I choose to lollipop and take do a pre harvest defoliation, the reasons for that is mould and rot, I started to become insecure because she didn’t have airflow and as i was flushing humidity started to raise, all good, and now just approaching harvest! Flushing with flawless finish and tap water.

I wanna see what’s different and how much better this new RF3 is if it is the seeds was definitely different the RF3 seed was huge compared to the old one the both germinated about the same but the new one popped out the dirt first so we’ll see I Put all three in a paper towel and 24 hrs later they popped and 24 hrs after in the soil both purple punch’s have popped up and the gorilla cookies is just about too I’ve got my fox farm soil all mixed up and my new fabric pots should be here any day I’m going to transplant into them I’ll keep yall updated happy growing peace hope you enjoy all advice or pointers is welcome #KYGROW will get you 15% off your whole fastbuds order and will help me out a lil to so remember the next time you put in a order

Got some really nice explosive growth this past week, no transplant shock whatsoever and I ended up topping her for the first time, gonna give her a few days then will start LST
