hello everyone its me db003 time for a update on my blk seeds auto grow in super soil
well I finally got everything on track in this grow I got all my seeds planted and sprouted I was going to go with 6x plants at first in this grow but decided to do 8X plants since I was able to squeeze them all in there
I did 4x plants in this grow tent in my last grow its a GrowLab GL80L Grow tent - 2'7" x 4'11" x 6'7" and I want to see if 8x plants is going to be too much and just stick to 6x plants I dont want to waste space but also increase my total harvest count
so my final strain lineup for this grow is
4x White Widow Autos from blk seeds
3x Sour Diesel Autos from blk seeds
1x Stardawg auto from fast buds
I wanted a all blk seeds grow but had some germination problems so this was a replacement to fill a extra space but its all good
I watered the all the seedlings today they got plain carbon filtered tap water that was bubbled overnight with a air pump and ph. to 6.8 with citric acid crystals and the stardawg seed I planted yesterday has already sprouted so this grow is in full swing
I will call this day 1 from sprout for the seed I planted yesterday that makes it so that all my seeds are a few days apart there all between day 1 and day 10 from sprout
lets see I got 2x in day ten from sprout 2x in day nine from sprout 3x in day six from sprout and 1x in day one from sprout

Off to a good start Db, gonna be crowded in there come flower time. Should be a tropical jungle! .

I love playing the mad scientist cue the spooky music Mwuhahahahaha all joking aside I am going to make a seed sprout tea / worm castings tea for my seedling to give that soil that they call home some help boosting microbiological activity in soil
so first I have a 5 gallon bucket of plain carbon filtered tap water that I am bubbling overnight with a dual outlet air pump to help get any chlorine that might be left over in the water after being carbon filtered just as a precaution dont want to slow down microbe growth when I make the tea
I plan on starting the worm casting tea in the morning so I can let it bubble for 24 hours before I use it
I already started the soak on the corn for my seed sprout tea I took 56 grams of corn seeds I measured out and put them in some plain carbon filtered tap water to soak overnight I will drain them in the morning when I start the worm casting tea and hopefully I will get some nice sprouts in the next 36 hours then toss them in the blender and add that to my worm castings tea
the only thing I plan on using is some worm casting a little bit of unsulfured molasses and the corn seeds if they sprout in time and that's it since this tea is for my seedlings and dont want to go overboard
this is a quote from "Clackamas Coots" about corn
Corn is known to be high in Cytokinins. "Cytokinins will increase the girth and tinsel strength of the side branches and stronger branches will produce larger and heavier flowers." -Clackamas Coots
Cytokinin Functions
A list of some of the known physiological effects caused by cytokinins are listed below. The response will vary depending on the type of cytokinin and plant species (Davies, 1995; Mauseth, 1991; Raven, 1992; Salisbury and Ross, 1992).
Stimulates cell division.-
Stimulates morphogenesis (shoot initiation/bud formation) in tissue culture.-
Stimulates the growth of lateral buds-release of apical dominance.-
Stimulates leaf expansion resulting from cell enlargement.-
May enhance stomatal opening in some species.-
Promotes the conversion of etioplasts into chloroplasts via stimulation of chlorophyll synthesis
I be dammed if I know what half of that means lol all I know is that it is good I will post more info tomorrow when I start the worm casting tea and drain the corn seeds

part 2 of my mad scientist experiment
I took about a cup of worm castings and a tablespoon of unsulfured molasses and added it to the bucket of water and will let that bubble overnight I will use it in tomorrow morning
I also pored the water that the corn was soaking in overnight in to the bucket and now that the corn is drained I will let it do its thing and hopefully I will have some corn seed sprouts by tomorrow and then I will crush the corn sprouts up in my blender strain the corn chunks out and give the liquid only to the plants with the worm castings tea

hello everyone time for a update on my blk seeds grow in super soil!
I just gave all my plants a watering with some worm casting tea that I made about 3 gallons or so I used all of it on the plants
the are young plants looking good so far the corn seed I was sprouting for seed sport tea was not ready so I will let it sprout for 2 more days and use it in my next watering I water my plants every 2 days by the way

I just gave all my plants a watering with some corn seed sprout tea that I made about 4 gallons or so I used half of it on the plants
I will give them plain water for the next few watering's and wait until the barley I ordered gets here and will make a barley seed sprout tea for them in a week or so

Corn sprouts sounds good to me cheap carbs for fast growth the bacteria should love it mash it in to the worm casting tea one time and watch the bacteria explode.

hello everyone time for a update on my blk seeds grow in super soil!
I just gave all my plants a watering with plain carbon filtered tap water that was bubbled overnight and one tablespoon of roots organic oregonism xl was added to about 3 gallons of water right before I used it on the plants it was ph. to 6.7 with citric acid crystals
I finally got my organic non gmo barley in the mail I got 5 pounds so it should last a long time I plan on making a barley seed sprout tea with in in a week for my plants
my last grow I just used plain water with my super soil plants for just about the whole grow and gave them worm castings tea once in flower and this time with my super soil plants I want to give seed sprout teas and worm castings tea in veg and flower to see how they react
right now I am using citric acid to lower the ph. of my water but if I could add a bit of ascorbic acid to the mix to help get rid of any trace amounts chlorine and chloramine after the water was carbon filtered that would be awesome
so I ordered some ascorbic acid aka vitamin c powder I want to do some experiments with it to help remove chlorine here is some info about it
VITAMIN C DECHLORINATION
Vitamin C is a newer chemical method for neutralizing chlorine. Two forms of vitamin C, ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate, will neutralize chlorine. Neither is considered a hazardous chemical. First, vitamin C does not lower the dissolved oxygen as much as sulfur-based chemicals do. Second, vitamin C is not toxic to aquatic life at the levels used for dechlorinating water. Although ascorbic acid is mildly acidic and, in large doses, will lower the pH of the treated water, sodium ascorbate is neutral and will not affect the pH of the treated water or the receiving stream. Both forms of vitamin C are stable, with a shelf life of at least 1 year in a dry form if kept in a cool, dark place. Once it is placed in solution, however, vitamin C degrades in a day or two.

hello everyone time for a update on my blk seeds grow in super soil!
I just gave all my plants a watering with plain carbon filtered tap water that was bubbled overnight it was ph. to 6.5 with citric acid crystals
not much to report at this time got another plain watering coming up next then a barley seed sprout tea I want to give them at the end of the week

Looks nice that vitamin c to neutralize chlorine can't hurt the health of the plants either

time for a update on my blk seeds grow in super soil!
I just gave all my plants a watering with plain carbon filtered tap water that was bubbled overnight it was ph. to 6.7 with citric acid crystals
I got out my barley seed I ordered to give them there first barley seed sprout tea in a few days but that's if they sprout in time this is my first time making barley seed sprout tea so I need to see how long it takes for the sprouting process so I can time it just right for my watering's
I weighted out 56 grams of barley seed put in a jar with some carbon filtered tap water to soak overnight then I will drain and wait for sprout should take a day or two
these plants were not all started at the same time I had some germination problems so some of the plants are older then the others
2x plants in day #20 from sprout (2x white widow autos from blk seeds)
2x plants in day #19 from sprout (2x sour diesel autos from blk seeds)
3x plants in day #16 from sprout (1x sour diesel auto 2x white widow autos from blk seeds)
1x in day #11 from sprout ( 1x stardawg auto from fast buds)

That Stardawg auto will be interesting.

my mom picked that strain out I had the extra space since one of them did not sprout so I let her choose from all the seeds I have and that the one she chose
I have Stardawg IX i will run soon.

time for a update on my blk seeds grow in super soil!
I just gave all my plants a watering I used about 3 or 4 gallons of organic barley seed sprout tea made with plain carbon filtered tap water (filtered water not R/O water) that was bubbled overnight it was ph. to 6.5 with a mix of citric acid crystals and ascorbic acid powder (vitamin C powder) that I use as ph. down and a dechlorinator
this will be the first barley seed sprout tea these plants have gotten so far I plan to do one barley seed sprout tea a week in veg next time I will give the barley seed a bit more time to sprout I got good sprouts this time but think they could have gone a day longer I also want to get some malted barley to save time of sprouting barley for my teas
these plants were not all started at the same time I had some germination problems so some of the plants are older then the others
