Great mix AmigoThank you @Table Mountain Sativa Co, I am too.
So, how tall do you anticipate each of your sativas to be when FIMed at the 10th node? I really want them to be somewhere around 7 feet tall... no shorter than 6 feet and certainly no taller than 8 feet. I realize this may be difficult to answer as it may depend on conditions here in my garden.
Which brings me to your reply to me on how hungry these girls can be. Here's what I plan to mix up for the soil:
Back Yard Soil - GeoFlora
In each hole, mix and place the following:
Additional ingredients mixed into top 1/3 of hole:
- 1 bag FFOF (1.5 cf each)*
- 2 bags Coco Loco (2 cf each)*
- 1 bag Worm Gold Plus (0.7 cf each)
- 1 bag Bu’s Blend compost (1 cf each)
- 1 cup Gypsum
- 2 cups Bone Meal
- 2 cups Fish Bone Meal
- 4 cups Green Sand
- 1 box Kelp Meal
- I box Alfalfa Meal
- 5 cups Soybean Meal
- 6 cups Insect Frass
- 2 cups Rock Phosphate
- 4 cups Neem Seed Meal
- 1/2 cup Epsom Salt
- 4 TBS Dolomite Lime
- 1 & 1/2 cups Azomite
- 2 TBS Humic Acid
- 14 TBS? Dynomyco mixed into soil (1 tsp per gal*)
- 1 cf Perlite (or 3, 12 quart bags)
*Note: 1.5 cubic foot bag = 10 gals
- 1 shovel full GeoFlora Veg mixed into top 1/3 of hole
- 4 cups Blood Meal

What are your thoughts on this mix of soil for your sativas? Does this meet your standard for "a rich soil"? I never use bottle nutes as I'm strictly a "Living Organic Soil" kind of guy. I will be using GeoFlora Nutrients, Chicken Soup for the Soil, Terpinator - throughout the grow - and Sweet Candy during flowering. I didn't use this mix last season and let's just say: things didn't turn out so well. When I used this mix in a prior grow using GeoFlora, things went so much better; so I'm leaning real hard in using this mix again this season.
Anyone else grow @Table Mountain Sativa Co girls outdoors? Please share what works for you.
Thank you all,

Thank you @Bill284 Not yet. Still waiting for my Hydro Shop guy to get this stuff in... ugh! Reminds me of your escapades!Great mix Amigo
Did you let it set for a while before using it?
Stay safe

Happy BirthdayWell, looky here what I saw as soon as I got out of bed this morning:
My White Widow was the 1st to pop the bean and 1st to poke up through the ground.
My Wild Lady is in second place in germ and emerging.
My RVDV is the last one today to emerge out of the soil.
And my Frisian Dew is slower, as she hasn't emerged from the soil just yet. A day or three and she will, I'm sure.
I Love My Girls...
Not sure, as I usually play it by ear. I go by the progress of the plant and not a fixed time.I'm limited by location and shipping. $$$
I'm in the middle of nowhere.
How long do you have before you pot it?
Yes, I do remember. Supposed to be 3 months. And it's NOT going to be. I'm sure I can cook it for a month, perhaps more. We'll see how they do... like I say, I go by how they grow rather than a set time.Needs a little time before use.
But you know that from experience.
Wow! Really?I've got a few hundred litres of the stuff.
Been cooking 3 years now.
Not really, but thanx anyway.Want it? Hehe
I've n9 use for soil anymore.
Happy Birthday
Stay safe

@Lerugged,That mix looks good. I think @StoneOtter will be able to give you some help. Honestly, I dont use most of that stuff. Decent soil as a base (what is in the ground) and I mix in Potting soil, a little vermiculite (just to hold a little extra as it gets mad windy here), Perlite, compost, worm castings, bone meal at the bottom so it breaks down during the 9 month grow season. I try to keep things as simple as possible.
And that's "if I FIM at 10 nodes, to get to about 7 feet?If you FIM it will still get taller a little. If you top it will not so that's up to you. 7 feet should be about where you will end up.
If you count from now, just sprouting, to harvest, the entire season here is 6 months (Sep) or 7 months (Oct).. depending on how long each cultivar needs for the flowering phase. I typically see my girls start their "Bloom" phase a couple of weeks after Summer Solstice, so early July here. This makes for about 4 months of vegging. Even though our winters are getting warmer each year now, we do still get frost here in winter, so I can't really place anything out before April 1st.How many months will they have to veg before autumn rocks up?
Welcome @jmrl and thank you for the kind words.Late to the Party but im here Thanks for the tag, my good friend. They are looking like you are on a role!
Not "my way..." @Table Mountain Sativa Co 's" way of telling them apart. Seems totally harmless, as they've germinated just fine.I might have missed it but what's with the ink on the seeds. ? Your way to tell apart?
That's what I'm shoot'n for here. Didn't include all those in the soil last year and things didn't turn out.But the recipe looks like some good purdy yields Im jelly. I want some of those nice minerals MUUHAHAHAH
I love these trays @jmrl . I have found them to be very easy to pop the rootball straight out from the tray... easy peasy. For me, I feel this is a very important feature because of how tender these girls are at this stage. Never having to wrestle them out, lowers the chance of damaging them.How do you like those trays? I was thinking of getting a set for my veggies this year but didn't.
The silicone on the bottom for ease of popping out, work ?
Yes so true!I love these trays @jmrl . I have found them to be very easy to pop the rootball straight out from the tray... easy peasy.

Hope this helps,

No I don't. Once I decided to grow my own medicine, I chose to remove any distractions elsewhere in my garden. There are other contributing factors too. These days my yard is very tiny, so space is a huge concern. And lastly, when I did grow a vegetable garden, I'd go down to my local nursery and pickup whatever starter plants I wanted, thereby sidestepping the whole germinating/seedling process.Yes so true!
do you use them for other seeds?
