Wow CA! Some nice shots there my friend, loving the amber!

Hope those Sages are coming along well and you have managed to treat the problems in your tent. That quantum kush looks like one heck of a strain, wonder if any of the sponsors carry it.

Keep up the good work, and as always, stay safe!

 

[mrbubbles87]

The roots on your transplants look amazing bro! They look super healthy. Mine usually look a little more brown and not nearly as thick at this stage. Mycos in your soil? Or maybe overwatering on my part?

The hash looks ridiculous! Can't believe you made that yourself. Def looks like professional quality. Really need to get me one of those USB microscopes you got. My lil 420 scope isn't worth a damn compared to those pics lol.

Id def appreciate a tutorial on your QWISO. I've actually got a bit of trim. Yours looks really good in the pics you posted.

Keep up the great work!

A sponsor or two carry them, I will have to track them down for ya brotha thanks for the kind words! The rusting on the un screened haze has seemed to slow down, and the caged haze is plumping up quite nice. Will get some pictures up here soon

I have tried my hand at not watering the seedlings & I think that has to be the reason for the white roots. Too much water as you said will bring on the beginning of root rot ie. yellowing and brown roots. Really trying my best to let the tops dry out, and then wait another day after that. Seems to work pretty well. Although I am watering my bigger girls too much which is the reason for the gnat issue.. The mosquito dunk seems to have done justice as I am not seeing them flying at the moment.. the bacteria from the compost tea and dunk probably has the gnats sick af cowering in corner of the pots.. YAY die suckas die!

I opted for the usb microscope over that 420scope because I wanted to be able to share the shots with ya'll, you can pick these up off crapazon for about 40 although we bought a little higher end model which IMO takes the same shots as the ones for 40 bones.

Gave in and checked on the ss after a couple days, and ohhh my lord. Looking at the oats on the top soil you can see fungus growing right off that shit! White stringy looking cotton candy fungus Looks identical to what this guy had going with his soil, now i'm just hoping this will work well for my girls I will go get some shots right now..

 

[CA215]

I have placed the SS container at the back door to acquire sunlight, 2 days later we have this going on;

Fuzzy little oat

 

[CA215]

Here are some shots from yesterday the 5th.. the 7th will be 6 weeks flower and I will do a better more in depth photo shoot at that time..

The tea right at mix time

And the girls back in their office

 

[mrbubbles87]

Just gorgeous bro! I'm drooling over here lol. Love that damn tea of yours.

I really struggle with watering the Dixie cups. First I have 2 different soils. One is crappy miracle grow. It turns to mud and can take up to 5 days to dry out. The other is ProMix. This soil dries out super fast and can be tricky in smaller containers. I actually lost a transplant the other day because I didn't give it enough water after transplanting. It dries out much faster usually in 2 days.

My second problem is plant size. Larger Dixie cup plants need water more often then smaller. Really gets confusing lmao. Just another reason to grow fewer larger plants

Did I read right that you put Oat meal in your soil?

I'm doing that as well CA, not watering seedlings until the very last moment and as with you it is working surprisingly well. After giving them a huge dose of water and nutes right at transplant and 2 days later, I've just left them alone for 7 days now and they still look well feed and hyrdrated. I was going to water/feed them today but decided to wait and let the plants tell me when they need something.

I wasn't sure if the added expense of a USB scope would be worth it but I'd say it is since you can keep a record of progress and share this information with others very easily.

lots of great stuff to look at here

Didn't have the camera handy this morning when lights flicked on. I actually moved the tea into the tent when the lights flicked off to try to keep the foam head.. definitely didn't work as intended but was okay. Thinking the -7 degree drop or so it looks like from the meter could have been the issue. Really need to get my hands on a germ pad, higher output pump, and a couple more air stones and we should be getting some killer stuff.

I've used miracle grow once and had an okay go with it but I understand your point, I added a lot of perlite which seemed to help.
have not used the promix but have heard good things. I am liking this vf, but it is damn hot! Getting a bit concerned about the seedlings I transplanted buuuuut we are going to ride it out for abit, leaving the little ones in dixies for now.

I tend to water the dixies every 3 days, water until decent runoff + have been giving them some nutes at very low doses to make sure they are getting some minor stuff. I really try to not let them droop which means I might have to water every 2 days soon.

Yes haha oatmeal! grabbed a half handful smashed some up real good into a powder and some left in whole and tossed ontop of the already cooking super soil. Going to let it sit for another couple days in the same spot and see how it goes, then stir it up! I think there will be a lot of the fungi activity but I have no knowledge on amount of fungi bacteria we need in soil. There should be a good herd going of mycos and fungi, but the oats are more of a spur of the moment thing LOL. I don't recommend anyone doing thing until we see if this mix succeeds or fails.

I recall talking with someone about having too much activity in the soil beneficial bacteria wise, and I concluded from what I read (which makes sense to me) that if you have too many, food source could run low and thus ending up with dead bennys in the soil (oh noes)?

Really need to take me some horti classes

Being able to watch them daily is definitely nice, be careful letting seedlings get too dry though it can get risky.
Keep low doses if you are going to feed in fresh transplanted soil, are you still using the ffof & manure/compost mix?
that could get hot, I will have to come check out your page I have been slacking on the forums lately..

I figured out how to attach my extreme q to my bong and woooowweee.. CA has been mighty medicated on his last week off

lots of great stuff to look at here
Happy Munchday CA

Thanks for droppin' in Cron
A fine munchday to as well buddy!

Day 41 flower - We are seeing some plumping it seems, calyx are starting to intensify and getting some slow progression on maturing pistils.. we are getting there folks 3rd grow now and I am in no hurry to let these mature if need be for some amber trichs. Really hoping the one haze can hold out long enough, could see this girls nugs progressing to yellow.. I can already see that some of those nugs aren't even going to be smokeable, definitely going to be good on medibles from that plant.

I am contemplating flushing here soon probably around week 7.. Definitely want these girls 2 weeks minimum and 3 would make me happy if they can hold out. So 6 weeks tomorrow and these gals could be 9 weekers now that I am looking at how yellow they already are. Definitely screwed the pooch on this grow, these girls needed to be corrected at the root zone prior to flip and that is a big key to success in flower I would believe.

GNATS! GNATS! GNATS! These also need to be dealt with prior flower.

Fingers crossed for matured buds!

Until tomorrows update Stay safe! CA215

 

[David Bowman]

Yeah CA, FFOF and Steer Manure Blend, it is a little warm but not too bad. The Steer Manure Blend is old, years old, stored in an uninsulated/unheated/uncooled garage, so it can't be that hot, right? I'm feeding full strength D&S Step 2 and molasses, 1 Tbsp/gallon each, and the plants love it. I hear ya regarding letting them dry out, I'm checking on them every few hours during daylight.

BTW, I'd like to see some pictures on your Arizer/bong connection, it sounds very intriguing. I've been contemplating something of the sort myself and would like to see how you did it.

 

[Backpackin420]

Nice looking plants there CA! Glad to see your still pushin out some beauties

 

[Mono]

Hey CA, is you gnat problem something that is on going, or just a one off?

I found that a top dressing of around an inch of perlite works really well as a preventative measure. Once they are gone, they never come back. And if you want to be super sure an inch of perlite in the bottom of the pot will stop even the most determined gnat

You are on the home strait now buddy, a lovely harvest is on the horizon.

I really love the ProMix. I can get it locally for $14 per bag. It's an excellent base for a super soil. I just don't have access to the other supplies needed. I have to order everything on amazon so I can only afford 1 or 2 amendments depending on cost. Pretty broke after the holidays.

Right now I'm basically running it like coco but with less frequent waterings. I'd really like to come up with a soil that has at least some organic nutrients in it. I feel like this would help my plants tremendously. I'm trying to come up with a basic amendment. Thinking of at least adding worm castings and mycos. Not sure if that would benefit me though because I've read grow big from FF will kill any micros. Any thoughts on improving my base soil while still using the FF trio?

I really want to get into super soil, high brix, and organics but I still have $100 worth of FF and can't afford to spend much.

I hear you on taking a horticulture class. I'm really kicking myself in the a** for wasting all my student loan money on business classes that I never needed. College was the biggest mistake of my life lol.

Ill def be interested in how the oats works out for you. I've always been interested in adding organic household items like coffee grounds, egg shells, etc.

I don't think you screwed the pouch on this one. I look at it this way. When there's problems I get to learn from them. If there's not any problems I don't get to learn anything new

Those nugs look gorgeous and your plants are some of the best training I've seen on here. Keep up the great work bro!

 

[skunkpilot]

Great job on the grow CA.


I like your results with the soils. At times I wished I would have stayed with soils, but the "Lift method" of watering was killing my back so I will deal with nute lockouts and reservoir cleanings. I will watch my Ph better and hopefully I can control the nutes better.


What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, Right? ....... Right? ....... Anyone? ....Hello?

Dropped in your page CH tried to push some thoughts your way buddy I am looking at my dixies this morning and it seems like they can honestly be pushed another day which would b 4, but I wont risk it! They will be getting a little drink of some organic cal/mag and molasses, maybe a drop of AN b-52. I can never bring myself to feed my seedlings full strength, CA's heavy handed nute doses will absolutely fry them.

I will get some shots of the little connection I do lol.... You will laugh and I guarantee that but hey, it is free, and it works well so I can't complain, just wish I thought of it earlier because my oh my it gets you loaded.

Nice looking plants there CA! Glad to see your still pushin out some beauties

Long time no see BP! Glad to see you roaming the forums again brotha! Will have to see if you have a journal running again holmes Thanks for the kind words!

You are on the home strait now buddy, a lovely harvest is on the horizon.

Yeah I started seeing them right at the beginning of flower, maybe a week before flip. But they seem to disappear for a day or two then come back full force.. its like they hide to reproduce, then they die and their babies take their place. That is definitely what I am thinking is happening. I tried the perlite on my first grow and ended up having little pieces of perlite on the bottom buds which wasn't really my thing, I didn't like the perlite top soil but that's just me.. I think I will do the washed sand on the top soil as it might be a little heavier and wont fly around the tent. Maybe a diatomaceous earth/washed sand mix.. that sounds like it would destroy those sobs. Thanks for the info Mono, I will apply this today

That's not bad at all I am paying Either 13.50 or 14.50 a bag of the VF and FFOF form the local hydro store, this guy gets fresh pallets monthly so I guess I am really lucky.

Crapazon is my main amendment carrier lol.. Sad to say but that is where I get most of my growing additives and supplements.. The hydro store just rapes people on their nute prices.. I only got there for the soil and fabric pots they also have some goodies you cant find online but again way too high of prices. Organics is definitely the way to go once you have all the stuff you need. I have been trying for the past 6 months to collect everything I need and am still missing some goodies.

Hmm.. I think some good stuff to think about adding to the promix would be some kelp meal, alfalfa meal, some dolomite lime and oyster shell for pH buffering and as a source of cal and mag, and the castings for sure for the added N. Great white is always nice to add in also. The fungal spores I add in im not too sure about. Looking at the ingredients to the promix it looks to be a very light mix! I would feel good about amending that soil. Now open up another page and look at the ingredients in Vermifire soil and you will see where I think I may have a little too hot of soil. VF comes with a lot of additives in it already while the promix looks to have about half.

What amendments do you have currently mrbub?

& you are right, I have preached that so much. Problems need fixing which in return creates knowledge, thanks
Can't be forgetting this. The nugs are smelling delicious and are getting to be a decent size so I shouldn't be too hard on myself
Although i'm sure we all know that we can do better this is the mentality we need to keep, reach for the stars fellow growers keep being productive and analyze your plants!

I think I might need to look into this promix abit

Great job on the grow CA.

Thanks much for the kind words there skunky! : I really enjoy soil growing for the sake of my heavy nute hand.
I feel ya on the pains, I am thinking of buying some more 5 gal buckets to put under the tray to get it raised abit, although reaching in to pick up the girls still gives me a little trouble, I have a bad hip which at times will go out and im left standing on one leg hobbling around, no bueno. I think I have said this 5 times now but your set up is TITTIESSSS!! I think you will get your room dialed in soon enough brotha, you have just finished getting it to where it needs to be so another grow or two and i'm sure you will be pushing out some killer meds.

how often do you calibrate your pH pen? I would like to take this time to tell everyone to GO AND CALIBRATE YOUR PEN!! My deficiency head banging was due to a faulty ph pen, think im going to blame the pen for screwing the pooch on this grow

And again thanks for that last sentence skunk, Need to remind myself that all these grows are still learning experiences and will take time until I can get my knowledge up to par to keep everything healthy and B E A UTIFUL!

Thank you guys for the comments and feedback, always appreciated.

I am going to get in the tent and give the girls some lovin', Week 6 flower update shortly

 

[shottafire]

Promix is void of amendments. No comparison to vermifire I don't think.

I know there is a fair amount of coco in vf so its essential you stay up on the ca/mg so everything remains available.

I like the vf for clones but for lings its not the business.

Cheers ca215 and reps for always staying true and diligent in your quest for the best.

The version of ProMix I'm using has no additives. It's essentially peat moss, perlite, and ph buffers (whatever those are lol). I learned about ProMix from Doc Bud. He recommends using the ProMix BX with Mycos added for his high brix kit. My understanding is this version has no nutrients added either. Unfortunately it's not available to me locally but I've been told it's basically the same thing I have but with the mycos included.

My problem is I've read that chemical fertilizers like Fox Farm Grow Big and Tiger Bloom will actually kill living organisms. That means true organics are out the window until I use these things up. What I'm looking to do is to essentially build up a better base soil that will work alongside the FF trio. I have 0 amendments right now. I can only afford up to $30 lol.

I was thinking of at least adding earth worm castings but i wasn't sure of the ratio. I could maybe afford one more amendment. Hoping that I can add these two amendments to my soil as a base and maybe even brew a non living teas with the leftovers. I'm really shooting in the dark though. Any thoughts or ideas?

Otherwise I can continue to trudge on running straight ProMix until I use up the FF nutes. Then ill be going high brix using the ProMix with mycos and docs kit.


Sorry for the read jack. Thanks for the help as always!

 

[mrbubbles87]

Also regarding ph pen calibration, I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. What I did was purchase the neutral 7.0 solution. I put the pen in the solution and adjust the screw until it shows 7.0. I've read of another method where you read a low and a high solution tho. Any thoughts?

That's what I was thinking, the promix looks very mild. VF is definitely hot I am starting to see the beginning signs of curling edges on the lings fans that were transplanted. I think you will be glad to see we have since (per appreciated comments) switched up the calmag and picked up, gen. o!

Whatever those are right HA. I feel your pain brotha I was tempted to go mia and not upload the horrible looking hazes

Okay, here is my thoughts/opinion on the soil/nutrients, if were growing in a soil that doesn't contain all the right necessities, we have to get the nutes damn near spot on to get the girls what they need, otherwise we see deficiencies. Being growers just learning the ropes without any degrees/much knowledge on what we are dealing with, growing in a medium without nutrients might be tricky. Honestly, I have been wanting to start a grow with the simplest shit. A nice soil like ffof or vf, roots, something with nutes already established in the soil, and then try to grow with something like this: Dr. Earth Organic 5 Tomato, Vegetable & Herb Fertilizer. The ingredients look pretty similar to what we are looking for in a super soil. Basically I want to use a mix like this and attempt a grow, with other additives on hand for anything that might become troublesome (cal mag, etc), it is a 5-7-3 which looks to cover the bases of a flowering nutrient well, maybe not towards the end but with another organic supplement 0-#-# could finish her off.. so 30 bucks could possibly switch up your flowering schedule to some organics? Just my view on things buddy. Maybe that pre mix linked could even be used to set that pro mix up for a nice amendment?

I really am trying to stay away from any chemical ferts, can't say much on the ff as I don't use them anymore, I have some beastie blooms but that was one of those purchases that was done without much research and no prior knowledge with growing.. that beastie blooms is some crazy looking stuff that I don't really want to feed my plants. So I definitely believe that the ff nutrients might be a little sketchy towards the bacteria in the root zone.

I would think the ff nutes would work best in a fox farm hf or ffof?

Also regarding ph pen calibration, I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. What I did was purchase the neutral 7.0 solution. I put the pen in the solution and adjust the screw until it shows 7.0. I've read of another method where you read a low and a high solution tho. Any thoughts?

I also only have the 7.0 solution. Same steps except the oakton ph2 I use has a calibrate button you press and it will ph itself back to 7.0.. from my understanding... HAH! Hopefully I am doing this right also!

Okay just going to lay it on ya'll, deficient haze!!!!

This one is officially named deficient haze #2

Cont below.

 

[CA215]

Okay enough of that! Some decent looking sages;

#2

Some little ones in the ss

The dixies, here are the underdawgs

Check out these hogs, weird growth between the 3 beans. One is a mutant with some crazy growth. Contemplating culling the mutant and the small one and maybe the mutant.. Any thoughts? These are not free beans btw if that makes a difference haha

And again, ladies back in their office! I really try to rush my pictures I do not like leaving the girls out of the tent for too long, these things do not need anymore stress!! You will noticed the dixies are strategically placed at the moment to drain well along the screens below.

CA
