Well neither have I since I've been growing, since I've only done hydro and the top layer of my substrate never stays damp for any length of time, but I used to use DE as a way to control the flea and tick population in my yard when my pack mate was alive but here's something I read about the benefits of DE with cannabis. And sand is also used to make sure the top layer of soil is dry and prevents bug lavar and eggs from thriving.Never tried either, @raziel819. What are the benefits?
Thanks, Shed.Except for the Fast Banana they're looking spectacular! Something about you and banana strains...I'm sensing a theme.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how that Lush soil does!
I like it! Nothing good happens in poorly aerated soil!So that's my theory for what it's worth.
Look at those budz man! That plant hits so hard we put it away for a while! It comes in and out of circ. as wanted but we just can't smoke it every day, it's too much! That's some good weed!Hello growers!
It's a lovely Saturday morning here in the Mid-Atlantic area. Slightly overcast, low 70s and a mild breeze! Perfect golfing weather. And my fav course is closed today for aeration of the greens.
No matter, I have an update on the Freebie + 1 Grow!
It's day 32 for the youngsters and things are starting to happen. They got their first dose of @Prescription Blend Week3 three days ago on the 6th. I've been following the PB grow of @Virgin Ground, and was aware of the "possibility" of a mag deficiency at this stage. So on that first Week3 feed I mixed in some epsom salts (at half dosage: 1/2 tblsp per gallon).
I gave them another light watering today, this time using 1/4 tblsp of epsom. I think for now, that's gonna' be it for the epsom until I see what develops.
Lets start with the official runt of the tent, the Fast Banana. She has some sort of early leaf discoloration. It's going to have to be a little more pronounced for my old eyes to take a stab at what it might be. If you have any thoughts please weigh in.
If she starts acting out up she'll be skating on thin ice because "Fast" strains aren't sitting so well with me right now.
Next up the Alien Rock Candy. She's really gotten sturdier after a slow beginning but now her top leaves are curling. I think she might not like being the closet to the light. And, the temps in the 2x2 tent always run high in the summer, averaging about 85F. The only thing available to fix that is Autumn. So I moved the light up about 6 inches and now I need to get some books to go under all the other plants who were enjoying themselves under it where it was.
She's pushing out growth at the node junctures now, waaay behind all the others.
Last for the @Prescription Blend feeders, the THC Bomb. She's doing her thing, getting ready to drop a few lower leaves in the near future. I will get started on her training when the smoke clears.
On to the Original Glue in the Roots Organics Lush soil. She's growing well on just aged (at least 48 hours) tap water.
I started her @CarcassStick® training a few days back. I've had to double up on the sticks for the top node because a single stick kept getting pulled out of the medium. This Lush soil is so porous that it doesn't hold the sticks as firmly as typical soil does. I'll have to tie these down as they strengthen. (The Lush also retains moisture like nothing I've ever used before. It takes many days before any discernable difference in pot weight.)
That's a wrap for the Freebie + 1 update.
On to the @Weed Seeds Express Godfather OG clones.
I've trained myself to ignore the leaves and focus on the rock hard buds and that has made me a happy grower!
As always, thanks so much for looking in.
Peace.
75 days...not bad atall GDB! Good observation and action!Hello growers.
I hate to say it, but the disaster I saw developing with the Fast bunch in the 5x5 tent has come to fruition. Looking at my Fast Bubblegums through the loupe this morning made me nauseous. Little monster bugs were crawling all over both of them. When this happens I always feel like the plants are begging to be killed, just for relief. So that's what I did on their day 75.
No fanfare. No obit pics. The branches were cut from the plants and dunked directly into my wash solution. They were not going to be big yielders anyway, and I can't stand to watch them suffer.
BB#1
BB#2
I didn't weigh them but from eyeballing them I think I might get a combined 3 ozs.
Of the two remaining Fast ones, the Critical Poison looks worse than the BBs. I'm strongly considering just throwing it in the trash.
But amazingly, the mites have steered clear of the Fast Bruce Banner. Haven't touched it! I have no idea why, but I'm going to let her keep going.
The CB clone needs to come down too. I've had my fill of takedowns today, however. I'll get to her tomorrow or may do some parts tonight and the rest tomorrow.
I'm patting myself on the back because I did not curse in the post!
I must be getting used to these mites fucking my shit up. (Oops )
Peace.
The coco in a couple of my plants has hardened up pretty well also. Guess I’ll poke some holes tomorrow. Good tip!Hello growers. It' Sunday, a time for miracles.
A few days back when I floated my theory about the yellowing leaves on my GOG clones (I suspected compacted soil), @InTheShed led me here, where @Derbybud describes his root coring technique.
Though I thought it was too late to address the compaction issue, I couldn't pass on the chance at such a simple solution. So I took my old-school, dual pronged PH probe and poked 8 holes around the perimeter of each plant. I poked about 6 inches deep for each hole.
After getting watered one time after this was done I believe I'm starting to see green return to those leaves that aren't already too far gone!
I hope you can see it in this pic.
Even if you can't tell see it, trust me it's happening!
Next up, the parting of the Red Sea.
Peace.
While most sativa strains are pretty tall there are some that are quite petite. There is a landrace sativa called Jamaican Dream that stays really small. I think it gets between three and four feet tall.scared me away from growing sativa dom girls til now. But @Carcass gave me hope in taming the sativa indoors.
You did it!sitting in a cup of perlite with water at the bottom per @Virgin Ground (at least I hope it was her and not @BooWho2 ).
Thanks for the tip VG I'll have to check them out. But with quad lining I don't think I have anything to fear anymore....While most sativa strains are pretty tall there are some that are quite petite.

I'll find out for sure sometime this winter if I can squeeze her into a tent.
Thanks, Stone.I like it! Nothing good happens in poorly aerated soil!

There's Roots soil in some of my mix, good stuff! Not as magic as your water only blend. Do they say it will hold up through flower?
Funny how big it looks in there....and how fast it gets small once the plants grow a little...enough for me to realize that space will soon be taken up quickly in the 2x2.
