How To Make and Use Organic Super Soil Seedsman Seeds Peyote Wifi Harvest Well here we are at the conclusion to many months of planning and preparation plus another 23 weeks of Growing. I Did a lot of reading and researching super soils and how they are made before I decided to actually make some . Then I thought to myself I should document the whole process from start to finish in diary form. This way any other growers who are interested can have a basic idea of where to start. and the likely conditions they may face. All of this began way back in August of 2019 when I first mixed the super soil mix (which can be found by looking at week one) aproximately Three months after that I started this grow and 23 weeks later Here we are at the end. Along the way I described the methods I was using to keep the soil fully active and productive at all times. Plus also some of my pre planning tips for flowering time. For example in week four.... I innoculated with the Mycorrhizal kit as instructed on the packaging next week I'll give the soil some help by feeding some seaweed solution mixed with mollasses and worm castings. This will provide a boost for both the plant via the roots and also benefit the millions of tiny microbes that live within the soil. Simply mixing and using the super soil as is will still work fine however by keeping the soil in perfect health as well as the Plant itself will pay dividends come harvest time. Week Six.... It can pay to plan ahead now for when the plant gets bigger and will need support. With this in mind I am going to use a premade wire Tomato type cage that is 1.5m high. This will hopefully provide enough support for the plants frame when it goes into Flower Next year. Planning ahead can sometimes help prevent potential issues from effecting your grow. Some things to think about and plan ahead for are as I mentioned Plant stability and support when it gets bigger. Week nine..... Planning ahead still I decided to dig a big hole aprox 1.5 meters by 80cm and to a depth of about 4 foot . Took a few hours of digging and shovelling but the end result with the plant lowered down into it makes it worth my effort and Back pain that will follow 😏 By doing this I have created a much cooler Root zone by having the pot well below surface level But Ive also knocked 4 feet off the overall plants profile which will aid me in my other concerns being Security. Week thirteen.... Diamotaceous Earth acts as a bug deterrent and can't hurt the plant in any way. I also mix some into the worm tea that I feed straight to the soil as Diatomaceous Earth is a fantastic source of Silica which we all know is extremely beneficial to your Plants Health. As Far as my super soil is concerned , so far I have not needed to feed the plants any fertilisers as the soil is providing everything the plant needs. All ive been adding is biodynamic food for the soil itself to keep everything under the surface happy and well nourished. Once flowering begins next month I will need to add an organic Booster to the soil that will replace any depleted resources. ***** But not everything went smoothly in fact I did the most damage to the plant in Week 17 I decided to be stupid and spray all my girls with potassium bicarbonate thinking it would "mold proof" my plants WRONG all did was burn the absolute shit out of the leaves. From then on it was a constant struggle to get this girl to produce anything because along with the foliar burning I also had to contend with next to no sunshine for many days at a time plus the constant leaf dropping no doubt reduced my potential yield. ****** Not everything was Doom and gloom either in fact by Week twenty one.... The Quality however is definately showing itself, with every single bud covered in visible frosty looking trichomes. The smell is really really Funky with undertones of spices. So even tho I'll probably only get around half of what I was hoping for ,the bud that I do get will be straight up fire. 👌 In the Final week before I chopped .... The Buds although very delicate and light, look very Frosty and Delectable. As for the super soil it is absolutely chock full of nutritional value so I will use it to Grow a fine crop of Broad beans this coming Winter. The growing of Legumes in the soil will actually benefit the soils health in many ways including making the nitrogen within the soil more readily available. **** On the 18th of March 2020 I chopped her down and hung the plant upside down in the greenhouse overnight. Next day I removed all the buds and stripped them off the branches. The buds then went into a hanging drying rack until adequately Dried for the trimming. After the first trim the buds went into paper bags for more drying time (aprox 3-5 days depending on temp rh weather etc) They then got a bit more of a trim and went into the Jars for Curing. I have had quite a few bongs of this already and I must say it is Really good hey!! So in Conclusion I hope that this Diary may help somebody who may be interested in growing organically with soil outdoors or indoors as well as provide an insight into how the use of all natural ingrediants can produce Good buds. Whilst this particular plant didn't get Big buds the Quality was outstanding and you only need to check out some of the other plants I have growing in the same soil mix as to the validity of of its Fertility. Now we come to the End of this Grow I'd like to thank a few growers who offered advice and/or support along the way @ROM101 @Med_in_Tropic @F4m0u5 @Shooey @MagicMan @Spinnnn Thanks guys I appreciate it Also thankyou you for reading this Diary and please leave a like at the end if you liked it Cheers Grey_Wolf Post harvest notes ; its now the 1st of May and the Broad beans and Peas that I planted in the super soil are doing very nicely this will not only provide me and my family quality organic food for our table but also the growing of legumes helps fix nitrogen to the soil and keeps it living and healthy for the next time I need it for canna 👍💪 Best way to be folks self sustainable and recycling your soil mixes will help reduce our footprint on the planet and save us money too 👍 So what are you waiting for Grab some basic organic ingrediants and make yourself some Organic super soil 👍👌 ##### Final update for this diary 31st May 2020 It's been just over 2 months since I harvested this Peyote Wifi plant and the buds have been curing for that time . Today I chose a bud to test and I am blown away by the perplexity of the high and taste profile , Bloody amazing 👍####### Thats it folks All over now after 3 months of making the soil then another 24 weeks of growing the plant and then another 2 months of curing to get to here 31st May 2020 It was a great fun grow and I hope I have inspired some of you to try making your own batch of Organic super soil 👍

Day 6: Into week two of stretch (technically day 6) and they are stretching like crazy, stems are fattening, and fan leaves are growing huge. Considering the shape and canopy I’m starting to think using a scrog will help but the benefits may not outweigh the risks. Risks being watering issues where I can’t lift the pots, annoying that I can’t move the pots. Also they may stretch so much that they are just too tall for a proper scrog, in which case I could use a trellis for some spacing and support. Anyways, put the scrog net in! Day 9 of flower: Just Working the scrog. Ended up snapping a beautiful top by mistake. Have the feeling this scrog was started too late and maybe will reduce my yield. But I could be wrong and they may just be getting over the stress and will continue to stretch and fill it in nicely. Time will tell Day 12F plants are looking a bit stressed out. I did a lot of bending and tucking and put them through a lot. A lot of big fan leaves were tucked under the screen. Like a tonne and they are all layered on top of each other under the screen. Not sure what would cause less stress... to cut them or layer them.. I’m assuming the latter

This will be the start of week #2 of seedling stage. Had an issue 😢 with my blue dream plant I believe I’ve might of over watered . It looks bad hopefully it can recover. Yield may be stunted really lagging behind. Also I have another blue dream seed so I’m thinking of starting that one fresh so I can pot into the finale medium. I didn’t want to use the cup but didn’t have enough soil at the time 🤷‍♂️ The strawberry 🍓 banana 🍌 auto and the power plant fem seems to be doing good 👍 so far. All in all I’m happy 😊 with how things have been going throughout my grow . I’ll will be feeding my plants nutrients and dropping the lights 💡 for the start of Veg next week. Let’s goooo… 😎😏

It's been 31 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Lots of unexpected colors coming out now. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

We’re getting closer, they’ve upped their water intake this week, so I’m thinking we’re on pretty much the last push now! Absolutely stinks of pineapples in there, with a gassy undertone. I’m excited to see how these finish up!! Hopefully not too much longer now.
