I am growing three strains:
Money Maker
Lemon Kush
White Widow x Big Bud
Both are indica dominant.
Plants are currently in veg stage with a few early flowers due to day length. I planted out too early.
Soil is native soil mixed with approximately 50% organic matter in the form of compost which was made in wind rows using inoculation methods to insure fungal and bacterial organisms both are thriving.
I am using a number of different fertilizers, but I used Medina brand pelletized fertilizer in the soil. Each prill has an outer coating of molasses and is a ratio of 8-2-4. As I fertilize, I will list what and how much I will use. I do believe if soil in the ground is prepared properly, I should not need to fertilize when I'm watering. The ground should have everything and maybe just prior to flower I would top dress with a fertilizer high in phosphorous and about half that of potassium. I use only certified organic methods, including pest management if necessary.
Two Lemon Kush plants will be growing in 30 gallon containers using Light Addict's fluxing method. I made a few mistakes at the start, so this will not be my night in shining armor, but I think I should get nice production from these plants.
The plants have been in the ground since May 5...there about. I have only had to water them one time since they've been planted and even that was probably not necessary yet. Compost and a nice thick layer of shredded mulch hold moisture in the soil, but an even more important function (even indoors and in containers) is to prevent the splashing of pathogens up from the soil. Many times pathogens are in the soil but need to be on the foliage in order to develop and reproduce. They are dormant in soil. Water splashes and up goes the pathogen to the underside of the leaf. So mulch prevents that. Vital in production of tomatoes, potatoes and many other plants. All of them, actually.
And now, here is what I am up to. I built my scrog for the four in the ground.
This is taken from the bedroom window:
Lemon Kush:
I still have to run the cording on the screen and I have to assemble one for the two 30 gallon pots, but those plants are not ready for transplant yet. I'm letting the roots get very dense in the container. When I water them, I use 1/4 amount of mycorrhizae each time to insure contact with roots and good solid development of a fungal mat in the container...as much as that is possible, that is.
I'll come back and add links to my completed journal and non-420 garden journal.
