Hello growers!
It's up-pot day for the clones and that means I received my Grow Dots today!
It's a little bag of 15 teaspoons.
So I got my pots prepped right away. Two of the clones will be going in 3 gallon pots and the smallest will get a 2 gallon.
Their dosing instructions are based on whether you're using "Heavily Fortified", "Fortified" or "Inert" soil.
I chose to use the "Fortified" dose, as I am using half a pot of Root's Organic's Lush soil for the 3 gallon plants and all Lush soil for the 2 gallon (which probably should be considered "Highly Fortified").
In the 2g pot using all Lush I just mixed 3 tsp. of the Grow Dots into the soil along with 2 tsps. of insect frass. Then I topped the soil with earth warm castings.
In the 3gs on top of the 1/2 pot of Lush I put another fourth pot of Mother Earth's Coco-Peat Performance Mix (mostly because I'm trying to get rid of it). On top of that went 4 tsps of insect frass.
Then I put in nearly 6 tsps. of Grow Dots.
And for the top fourth layer I used FFOF. Then I put a healthy bit of earth worm castings on top of that.
I put the smaller of the two Black Cherry Pies into the 2 gallon. Here's she is right before going into her hole.
And the larger Black Cherry Pie right before going into her 3g:
And the Kera Bubblegum right before she's buried in her 3g:
I sprinkled the few Grow Dots that I held back on top of the soil in the 3gs, and I was done. Took forever because of the cloud I was engulfed in, but it was enjoyable. The fact that it was raining out made it more pleasant.
Now I need to try to stick to the Grow Dots release schedule, which means letting these veg for at least another 28 days. Then I have to bank on my 4x4 tent (with my Express Grow on Flip +49)) being clear sooner rather than later so these can go in there!
Now to see how these dots perform. I really hope they work as advertised!
Thanks for looking in.
Peace.
