Cottage 420's Organic Perpetual Indoor Garden

Ok got some good info today at a vendor I just bought some amendments from.

Its a soil run - 3 different soil mixes very similar to what I do (I'm way less inputs tho)
More of a few amendments is how I do it. Less is more if you will.

Anyhow they did 3 soil mixes side by side grows in LOS soil with slightly different soil recipes. Done with high end LEDs (Fluence) and a pretty sweet setup to. 1000pfd at canopy with Co2. They used Blumats and measured soil water content. (I gotta figure out how they did that).


Here's what they got growing a scrog similar to what the hydro guys wood do:

"Results:

*Average yield across all cultivars was 2.475 lbs. per 4’x4’ area*

*Average yield across all cultivars was 66.88 grams per square foot*


"As we learn more and improve these processes, it seems likely that living soils
offer the ability to match or beat hydroponic yields with less input and labor cost, a smaller carbon footprint, and in a manner that would allow for the final product to be certified organic based on current National Organic Program standards."

Here's the complete article:

Great read Bob. Aside from the CO2 use and increased yield due to that, I am seeing very similar numbers in my 4x4 tent. In two rounds growing under my Fluence Spydrx Plus, I am coming just short of 2 lbs (31.5 ounces last round) which are great numbers in my mind.

If you get the soil right, the yields will definitely come. I love that people are showing it can be done like this in LOS and people are publishing it for people to see. Interesting analysis on the soils too. Cheers brother and congrats on the MOTM nomination.
 
I think they were running Co2 because of the lighting. That's some serious lighting.

I looked long and hard at those SpyderX Plus.... my cheap bone was twitching too hard. All that machinery with the Co2 thing is too much for me. I like to keep it simple.

Too bad they didn't run Coots soil recipe. I can get 2#s in a 4x4. Depends a lot on the genetics tho. I could run a 4x4 all Sativa for 110 days and get that easy but 110 days is long. I like running 60-70 day strains and if I get 1.5#s I'm happy. IF I shorten the flower time (with genetics - Labyrinth is one), can do 1.5#s every 50 days. Which is probably the best I can do.

Those Fluence lamps look better and better every time I look at them. I've actually been looking at something to add to the center of my room.

I have 2 Timber RedWood VS 3K with some 1750K lamps sprinkled in and wanted to add a center lamp. Those VYPRx lamps are looking REAL good. I just have to talk myself into spending. Fluence is coming out with a new Spydr 2x and 2i series any day now. 1500 & 1700ppf on those puppies. I bet they are spendy.
 
Seedling Porn - hopefully soon to be eye candy!

I have Slurricane - Jellium - Platinum Buffalo all are in VEG now along with a Chemdawg and some PMB seeds I made from a PMB male. A few DT mothers and some more clones. It's goona start to get a little busy here in the next few weeks.

I need to hang my new lamp in the flower room and wire it up to another timer and get some more girls in the flower room.

I have a bunch of VEG plants these are just a few pics of the little ones just getting going. I'm watering them with a weak kelp tea and water.

Jellium - 3 leaf version & Jellium with some weird leaf growth.

Jellium #3 with weird leaf growth. Had this on Buffalato #3 early on she turned out great.

DT #10 - senescence is starting

DT #10 - full size.. Going to pull her out away from the wall today. There's the little DT Mutant single leaf in the front there. She better finish up. I'm going to run out of room for her here shortly.

DT #10 - She's a bug one
DT Mutant in the front there.

Mystery Girl #1 - She looks a lot like DT but slightly different smell. My Mystery girls in VEG are VERY hardy and growing fast.

Hey brown

Hope your doing good my friend

Had a question or two about the horse tail fern tea? I assume I just add boiling water to fill mason jar with the 3-4 tsp of horse tail tea ?

Let cool to touch and then cheesecloth to strain it ? Then 1/2 cup per gal of water nether foliar correct when do you brown use this once a week starting at week two veg okay ?

Also safe to use with autos as well buddy ? And if so when sage to start foliar on autos ?

Can this be applied in flower and on the buds themselves with harm?

I think that’s it I am attempting tonight to make foilar sorts as my bomb seeds leafs feel very dry for some reason ?

Pics tonight in my journal bro.

Liek how I can see all those nice new babie nodes starting up the main on that slurricane . Light indoor defoil needed more then outdoor I got it .

Thanks brown much love brotha

Horsetail ferns. Equisetum. There are a few varieties that grow wild. Pretty easy to spot as it has unique segments and structure.

Thabk you! Any recommendations on where a person could purchase cuts online? I have none locally!

I can tell you that my experience with Fluence has been incredible. I will be getting a 2nd one when I have the 10x10 up and running. Gonna run two of them on movers. I will say that the light has paid for itself already in less than a year just from the doubling of yields.

I would just do a google search. It’s a bit late in the season to find it wild. But I found it in driveways, parking lots, trails, and other poor soil sites that have frequent soil disturbances. Once you get used to spotting it, you will see it everywhere. I have a big paper bag full of dried horsetail ferns.
 
LOL....why can't I find it here! I know I have seen it elsewhere....but never around where we live.
