Updates/Observations:
- Water only for this last week and next. Soil is very hot so I don't need to cycle any of those nutrients down right now.
- Plants showing light burns on lower foliage but nothing serious yet.
- Trying to keep the soil always slightly moist and never let it dry completely to keep microbes (and by extension the soil) at optimum health.
- CQ1 is still miniaturized and has shown sex so I think she is going to finish very small, if she makes it at all. I am worried the hot soil will burn her down because she wont ever get big.
- CQ2s leaves show a very strong Sativa expression and I love it.
- CQ2 is growing very vigorously.
- All plant showing sex (F).
Worm Feeding:
- This week I fed my worms about a pound or so total of: Banana, mango, dill, tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, aloe filet, green beans, covered in a dash of oyster shell and alfalfa meal.
- I layer down some canna leaves, layer diced up worm food, sprinkle dry amendments (kelp, oyster shell, neem, etc.), layer canna leaves, then replace bedding and they are happy!
- Creating the food layer protected by the green manure gives the worms a nice buffer zone to move freely through eating as much as they want.
- This method is inspired by HerbinFarmer on Youtube. I really enjoy his videos so if you have time, check him out!
Cheers!
