[seaofgreen18]

How fitting, its Sunday and the Super Skunk is praying

 

[seaofgreen18]

Last day off from work

 

[seaofgreen18]

Had to add a humidifier getting less than 40%rh in here that's unacceptable!

 

[seaofgreen18]

Well so far my opinion of Herbie's Bean's is a positive one but the real proof will be in the end RESULTS so... We'll see how they compare to Barney's Farm

A little rearranging

 

[seaofgreen18]

We do our chickens greens for the winter under the veg light to

So i figure they are big enough to be fed a little so 1/2 tsp of fish and bio char per qt of water and a sprinkle of bokashi around pod to give the casting microbes something to eat along with a tad of fungi that will come with the bokashi and i ph the sprayer i should have gotten it to 6.7/6.7 but it was close enough for now i use baking soda for up and citric acid for down

That fish biochar mix really drops the ph

The bokashi

I use that Bokasi in my worm bin sprinkle it on there with some Black owl char and send it on through with all the table scraps and some alfalfa meal,neem meal , kelp meal, oyster shell (both flour and crushed for grit and ph stability) azomite I get a pretty HIGH QUALITY casting with that recipe and its sustainable that is the best thing
Gotta keep Mother HAPPY! No chemicals

[seaofgreen18]

6 sets of leaves in a week on the black widow,not to bad but the super skunk is lagging only 4 on that one

That looks pretty cool. I've not come across a setup like this before. Anxious to see them in there.

Likewise ,i'm in for the journey

 

[seaofgreen18]

Welcome to the journey and wish me !

 

[seaofgreen18]

Like life ,ANYTHING could happen

 

[seaofgreen18]

Everything seems healthy so i got a little more aggressive with the light about 8" above the canopy ive burnt my budding plants doing that with my big lights not from heat but to much light bleached them

 

[ThirdUncle]

Welcome to the journey and wish me !

For sure , i wish you a bountiful harvest bro. take care & peace to all

 

[seaofgreen18]

Just a quick update i raised the lights back up to a bit, I won't be updating until next week see ya soon!

Day 11 up potted usually they go right in the bed but im waiting on my soil test ill send it in tomorrow.
I used some store bought Happy frog ,a tsb of KIS mix a half cup worm castings.
Checked ph it was low, so I used ag lime to raise it , about a 1/4 cup of ag lime to get the ph from 5.3 to 6.7 then i added a small amount of elemental sulfur, about 1 tsp ,mixing the soil REALLY WELL and let the soil sit a few days, and checked soil ph again
Now 6.7 im happy with that!
Patience is key!
