Following intently. I'm new to organic soil grow. Just started my supersoil 6 months back. Vermicompost and grass trimming compost getting set up this weekend. Will flower outdoors. Keep up the great work!

That's a GREAT question!!
We had our son stop by and check on things for us and he said that I probably didn't need to add any water. I had about 20 gal of water in 5 buckets covered tops there waiting for him. He was stopping by weekly and the first 2 weeks he didn't do anything, the third week he said it was still 1/2 full but added in the 20gal of water then. When I got home the reservoir was almost empty.
Several of the plants I'd say 4 of the 8 there were flipped into flower when I started the AP system. So they weren't really ramping up water use until I'd say 2 weeks ago. Now they all are drinking A LOT. I bet one more tank full will get them to the end of the grow cycle.
I'm contemplating just letting things run the course and not mess with them at all, and then harvest.
Right before we left for vacation I had spider mites. That was almost a disaster.
I had to resort to neem oil and Dr Bronners peppermint soap for the kill down. The plants are bug free (knock wood) as I type. I have a little yellowing on one or 2 plants but nothing I'm going to do anything about. Probably too late to do anything now maybe a slurry of ewc and calcium maybe I'll do and ewc tea and let them go. We will see how energetic I get tomorrow after ... ahem trimming!
One of the things I "thought" was different this run was the slight lack of resins and terpines as the buds don't "look" too sticky. Then I bent down to turn the pots a 1/4 turn and my glasses brushed against a bud. Got a face full of stickum on my glasses and face. I had to get some alcohol to clean it off!
So yeah I'm extremely happy with this setup. I could see this taking off for us in the future for sure.
So review time:
My style of growing cannabis is pretty much the same as growing tomatoes. Stake em up and let em grow. I do trim the btm laf off the plants when I switch to 12/12 light cycle and take clones of the best looking clippings which I did right before going away.
Soil is Coots style organic
1/3 CSPM (peat moss best of the best)
1/3 aeration
1/3 Compost/EWC/soil - I used some bagged soil for the soil part from Premier..not the expensive shit.... we make our own EWC.
+ Amendments
RO Water (no need to PH test - its going to be 6.5 every time all the time)
I just up potted all the clones I took and I now have a Mother plant of the Purple Chemdawg I grew out last run. My Mother clone was almost dead when we left for vacay ... thought she was a goner but when we got home she was huge! I'm going to turn this into a nice run of a bunch of them. She was solidly up into the lights and the Apical Meristem was burnt to a crisp so I had to top that off..... oh well I'll turn this spindly little lady into something good ...
Pretty simple! Less messin and more smokin is my deal.
First HSO Black Dog to show some color... it's early but it here! I think this is a sign that fall is coming.
Kimbo Kush starting to do her thing. I'm thinking this one is going to take a little longer. Lemme read up on it and report back...
Black D.O.G. and Kimbo Kush are just killing it with your soil and the APs. Speaking of killing, it I saw Chemdawg hit 30% on the thc scale. Did you end up vaping yours? Was it super powerful? Makes me wonder if it was from one of these newer seed companies or a cut off the original.
Nulife said:Hi Dr. so you would use calmag with the sohum the next time, cause of LEDs? I was hoping the sohum was a true just add water setup
Wow, that Chemdawg sounds awesome. A room full of purple Chemdawg plants in AutoPots is going to be incredible Bo! That original mother was the most beautiful plant I've seen in a long time. A room full of those will be garden of the year worthy.
Interesting about flavors while vaping. I find the exact opposite. When I smoke (which is hardly ever) everything tastes the same like burnt weed lol. When I vape I can taste everything very intensely. What type of vaporizer are you using? I've got a volcano, haze, pax, and firefly. My haze is the only one I use now just for usability but they all five tons of flavor on the first pull.
I just ordered the mighty from the same folks that make the volcano. $365 shipped to my door. I'm a vape collector lol.

Hey there Nunu thanks for the vap tips... yeah I'm like you smoking anymore for me... is hard to do. I smoked ciggs for 10 years and quit many years ago when I started growing cannabis full time for health reasons.
I'm A LOT more health conscious now and yeah really prefer not to smoke. I'm a swimmer... as in go to the YMCA and swim laps at race pace for health, member of the US Masters Swimmer for fitness so smoking, every time I do it when I swim I have to stop and expel the nasty shit. Vaping I don't have those issues. To be honest I think its the taste of burnt shit I don't really like.
