Jon's New Pared Down Setup Soil Grow: 3 Photo & 1 Auto With New Dedicated Auto Rig

[BubbaKush909]

I'm talking what I did with photos mixed with my thoughts about cloning autos lol. No I haven't done it although I was tempted when I thought I was dealing with a photo. I'm not going back to the old way ever again though. Too much to clean up when the law knocks on your front door. Plus they tend to freak with they see 30 plants, even if the combined yield is only that of 3 or 4 normal plants. There's a bill in our statehouse just introduced to legalize rec use, hopefully it will pass but I'm not holding my breath.

Luckily I wasn't home when they came calling, still have no idea how they got suspicious. But my neighbor told me when I got home and it was 24 hrs of frantic dismantling and getting rid of a whole lot of expensive stuff that followed.

At least I was ready for them when they came back. They told me word on the street was I was dealing. That's funny because I wasn't, and I have zero interactions with 'the street' where I live. I was making hash and edibles for me lol. After our chat they said we believe you, mind if we look around the house to 'close this thing out'. I said sorry, you're not coming in without a warrant. They wanted to know why I wouldn't let them just look around if I had nothing to hide. I told them about a friend of mine who had his car trashed by cops after he agreed to just let them have a look around, which is legally consent to be searched. They told me they wouldn't do that. I told them I had things to do and if they really needed to look around to get a warrant. That was the end of it but it's not a place I ever want to go again.

Things are much are better now. Back then Cali and I think Hawaii were the only places that had medical use, and no place had rec use. This grow has grown more, equipment-wise, then I had planned. My plan was 2 autos in containers in my back yard. I currently have 7 growing plus a grow room, but after this I'm capping it at 3-4 autos at a time. I feel way more comfortable now then I did back in the day. There were times when I'd have 20-30 clones near harvest, another 20-30 rooting, plus 2 or 3 sizeable mother plants in 2 grow rooms. I was out of control but once you start down that road it's hard to give it up. You've got eveything in place and dialed in, an endless supply of clones, it was almost like an assembly line. Good times until it wasn't.

Topping Day
Grow/Veg Day 23

Welcome to my least favorite activity of the entire grow. I can't stand the act of topping. So barbaric. How would you feel if someone came along and cut you in half? It hurts me to do it every time.

But then I see my four brand new colas just sitting there waiting to be sprung. And I see that within short time I'll have six tops to start spreading out. And it takes a little bit of the pain away.

I hope she doesn't get too mad about it. I topped the Slurricane today. Node-wise, the Ghost Train Haze is ready as well, but I want her to get a little bigger first. I will likely top her in a couple days. The Chunkadelic is already topped. And the Hulkberry simply is not ready as she started a few days behind the others. She's also growing short, indica-like, and a little twisted. I may not top her at all depending on what she does this week.

I use Uncle Ben's method for topping. If you're unfamiliar it's an easy search on the forum. It's a great topping method I think. Basically you top between nodes 2 and 3 after the 5th or 6th is already out. This gives your root ball a little more time to develop versus topping earlier and before 5/6 nodes are out. When you top in this manner, the result is always exactly as you see in the picture. Four colas just waiting for you, which will join up with the two from the first node and viola - six mains. I like to only top once because I believe the more you top the more you water down the quality of each individual cola. The plant only has X amount of energy with which to make buds. It's a finite number. The strongest pot you can grow is one cola no training, as all the energy will go into that cola and it'll be the best bud and strongest by far on the plant. If you top and split that cola up, you are redistributing that same finite X amount of energy the plant has into two colas, or four, or six, depending on your topping method. That means, in my opinion, that each of those six is going to be slightly less strong that the one main cola would have been. And so on and so on. You could top forever and make one plant fill a 10x10 I suppose, and it might look super impressive, but I would bet the buds themselves wouldn't be that strong. Just an opinion, but that's my methodology and why.

So here's the Slurricane before and after topping. Sometimes I describe my photos as bud porn. This is more like bud horror movie. But it's going to be amazing in a week.

 

[Diatomacious]

They wanted to know why I wouldn't let them just look around if I had nothing to hide.

Can I come in and search your house officer?

You could top forever and make one plant fill a 10x10 I suppose, and it might look super impressive, but I would bet the buds themselves wouldn't be that strong. Just an opinion, but that's my methodology and why.

Give that plant a large enough container and all the sunshine it can soak up and it will get bigger than a house... I've seen plants 20' tall looked like a volkswagon on a stem. Marijuana gets pretty large outdoor you just can't keep that plant lit inside.

This is more like bud horror movie.

She looks pretty sexy to me

Just put that top in a rapid rooter.

Topping Day #3
Hulkberry Oddness

Today I went ahead and topped the Ghost Train Haze. She's beautiful under there, check out her colas in the picture. Chunky, the first plant topped, is completely over the experience. She didn't blink. She also had very little taken off. I topped the Slurricane yesterday, and she looks happy today, which is nice. The Ghost Train Haze I decided was big enough, and I didn't want to wait til the 7th node was out and then cut all the way to between node 2 and 3. Couldn't do it. Anyway, she seems fine so far after 4 hours since the topping. Today was also the beginning of the third week of nutrients. Here's where they are in that respect:
GTH - FF nute schedule week three
Slurricane - FF nute schedule week three
Hulkberry - FF nute schedule week three
Chunkadelic - Canna nute schedule for autos week three
Sidebar: The Sour Apple auto that's not really part of the journal but is bringing up the rear after the Chunkadelic is getting Canna nutes and I have her on week two of the Canna nute schedule for autos
I suspect the weeks of being able to feed them twice a week are over. We're likely on feed/water for the week at this point, but we'll see. If this is indeed the case, the mono-silicic acid will go in with the clean water. I am Ph-ing every single watering, nutes or no nutes, to as close as I can get to the 6.2-6.3 range. The environmental conditions for the gang has not changed since I last posted it.

I put in two pictures of the Hulkberry to show you guys how twisted she's growing, and how tight her nodes are. I haven't had a plant twist like this yet. And I may have gotten a more indica-esque pheno on this strain, as she sure doesn't look to have a ton of sativa growth pattern going on at all. A bit of a runt she is. But I've learned to wait her out cuz you never know - she might become my best plant. She's healthy enough, just growing weirdly. Hopefully you can see what I mean in the pictures.

The Chunkadelic appears to be getting close to transplant. The pot drain in 36 hours or less watch is on with her. I can already feel her roots to the outside of the pot when I push the stick with her name on it into the dirt. This is a very good thing. I guess it's almost time to prep her pot.

That's about it. Hope everyone has a great growing week. So far so good here.

Transplant Day #1
Chunky's New Home

I'm sorry for the daily posts, guys. I know nobody wants a daily growth record of anyone's plants, especially in veg, lol. But it's my record, and when something significant happens I gotta post it.

Today we transplanted Chunky, the Chunkadelic autoflower, into her five gallon condo. Also tucked the fan leaves to expose the growing branches/bud sites. Quite a different story than Sue Anne. One topping and this thing is growing like a gorgeous, wide Christmas tree. I count 9 bud sites on her right now. All I plan to do to her in terms of training is not much - I'm just gonna pull branches to the side and get fan leaves out of the way of stuff that needs light. But I bet anyone here that I get more than one ounce and one eighth off this plant, lmao! She's quite side branchy compared to the others I have grown. And the side branches are sprouting out, not staying right in near the main stem as Sue Anne's two branches did. She's handsome. For an auto. A common gutter auto. I think I may be on the cusp of becoming a photoperiod/autos are lame snob. I'm partially blaming @Emilya for that.

Anyway she's a little droopy at the moment as I just now transplanted her and took the pictures. She will perk up, probably by the end of the day. And the other plants seem to be happy as hell. The Ghost Train Haze and Slurricane have both perked up significantly since their toppings. The weirdo Hulkberry keeps srouting nodes and growing like a crazy person. But she's very healthy, so it's gonna be interesting to see what she does.

For the record, Chunky gets Canna nutes, so she was transplanted into the same soil mix as she had in the one gallon pot, ie, 40% FF Ocean Forest/40% FF Happy Frog/20% Mother Earth perlite #3. Her roots were completely to the edges of the pot and swirled around sweetly in about a half an inch deep pile at the bottom. Transplant was a breeze and went perfectly, the root ball held together exactly as it's supposed to. As always, I dusted the transplant hole with the Great White mycorrhizae before I dropped her into it. I thought about waiting on the pot to be dry in 36 hours or less as I normally would as my transplant reference point, but I could feel the roots and feel that they were out to the edge top to bottom and the plant was ready. It's also Day 25. This girl could begin shooting preflowers any day now for all I know. Damn autos. Might be tomorrow, might be ten days from now...lol. I vote for ten days from now.

So there you go.

One More Necessary Update
Sour Apple Autoflower for Auto Rig
Transplant #2
Day 18 for this plant, she broke ground July 23rd which was Day one for her
Transplanting an auto into Sohum soil when started in a Dixie cup (Important)

I decided to add this one post about the Sour Apple that is going into the auto rig and bringing up the rear after the Chunkadelic auto. I wasn't going to include the Sour Apple in this journal, but this post may have value to both rookie and experienced growers, not sure. It had a ton of value to me.

First thing was I decided that the Chunkadelic is going to stay in the Gorilla for her entire life and live her life out entirely under the G8 and with the photos. If they get flipped to 12/12 before she's done, so be it, she's gonna finish on 12/12. That allows me to not only grow her entirely under the good light and maintain a consistent spectrum start to finish, but it also lets me get the Sour Apple out and into the rig asap. The idea there was, get her to her final environment as soon as possible so as to minimize disturbances.

But the Sour Apple is going into the Sohum living soil, and therein lies the hopeful value in this post. I researched the Sohum a good bit. Also watched a ton of Youtube videos on planting autos into Sohum. I'm glad I did that, because what I learned is that one, you can't just plant an auto directly into Sohum, it'll kill the plant, and two, if you are transplanting an auto from a Dixie cup into Sohum, you don't want to put it into a full pot of the Sohum, cuz again it'll kill the plant. If you were going from a one gallon starter to Sohum with an auto you can get away with just placing the one gallon transplant into a full pot of Sohum, but apparently not with a Dixie cup starter. This is what I gleaned as the consensus from everything I read and watched. And it makes sense. So then I had to decide which of several methods I wanted to use for the Sour Apple. I settled on the method outlined below, and I have to give credit to a dude on Youtube named Farmer HatBeard. This is his recipe I stole. It can be used for both transplanting when starting in a Dixie cup and also if you wanted to plant your seed directly into the final container you could use this too. So here is the step by step process I used, for what it's worth to anyone:

1. Fill five gallon pot halfway with 100% Sohum soil, packed around a cylinder about the size of the Dixie cup.
2. Pack soil til the hole stays solid as a hole when you remove the cylinder.
3. Fill that hole with your regular potting mix, in my case 40% FF OF/40% FF HF/20% perlite.
4. Replace cylinder to define top part of central cylinder.
5. Fill to within 2" of the top of the pot with a 50/50 mix of Sohum and your regular potting mixture and pack down.
6. Fill the upper cylinder hole with regular potting mixture.
7. Dig out a little space as necessary to make adequate room for the transplant and dust with mycorrhizae.
8. Drop in your transplant
9. Top off with regular potting mixture.
10. Water the circular line where the transplant soil meets the new soil to sort of activate the line where the roots meet the new soil. I usually water until I figure it's as low as the bottom of the transplant.
11. (My case only) - place plant in her new home in the auto rig and adjust her height so she's getting hit with about 600 par.

So basically what you end up with is a central cylinder of your regular potting mixture, and surrounding that central cylinder you have all Sohum in the bottom half and 50/50 Sohum/Regular Potting Mix in the top half, topped at the end with 2" of regular potting mixture.

Supposedly, according to dude, this allows the plant to "ease in" to the Sohum, which is going to be hotter soil than the plant has experienced to this point. And if all this works out the way it should (lol, fat chance), all I have to do now is give this plant Ph'ed water at 6.3 for the whole rest of the grow. We'll see. I'm naturally skeptical, because it seems too easy to be true. Lol.

Photographs:
Step by Step Visual Reference Point of Exactly What I Did

- Fill pot halfway with 100% Sohum around a cylinder
- Fill that hole with regular potting mixture
- Replace cylinder
- Fill in to 2" from top with 50/50 mix of regular potting soil mixture and Sohum
- Take out cylinder again leaving a perfect hole
- Fill again with regular potting mixture
- Dig out space for your transplant
- Drop in plant and top final 2" with regular potting mixture
- Place plant in auto rig with her height adjusted so she's getting 600 par

Hope this has value to somebody. I won't be posting about the Sour Apple in this journal again. I just thought it worthwhile to show the autoflower into Sohum transplant process I selected. We just saw what the Sour Apple does, no reason to reiterate that in this journal, so she will simply grow and live her life where she is now. I'll get to see this time if this rig is really adequate or not to grow one plant. I believe it is.

Also finished working for the damn day. And posting. Lol.

She's just saying she's got plenty to eat. Might want to do an extra watering but that would throw off your whole rhythm with the nute schedule I suppose. Every damn strain wants special attention.

 

[Diatomacious]

I won't be posting about the Sour Apple in this journal again.

Awww... that's the interesting one. Your method with blending the Sohum with potting mix sounds like what Emilya is doing in her GSC comparative grow.

 

[Jon]

Awww... that's the interesting one. Your method with blending the Sohum with potting mix sounds like what Emilya is doing in her GSC comparative grow.

Not sure, I got mine off a dude Farmer HatBeard. Lol. I'm actually going to top her pretty soon and since she's in the Sohum I'll check in with her from time to time in the journal. It's part of the Sohum experiment which is technically part of the current grow. I also think the Slurricane will be interesting. As soon as she's ready for transplant she goes into a full five of straight Sohum and gets no more nutes in theory. VERY curious to see how the plant reacts when she meets the Sohum. Cuz she's loving the soil blend and FF nutes she's had up to this point.

 

[Emilya Green]

Awww... that's the interesting one. Your method with blending the Sohum with potting mix sounds like what Emilya is doing in her GSC comparative grow.

I try not to blend soils that are made for a specific purpose. Supersoil belongs at the bottom so that only specialized roots need to go in there and it isn't melded into the rest of the container where roots would have to randomly hit little hot pickets of this or that. I put a good strong organic chunky soil in the middle of my container, where I believe that a lot of the microbe work takes place surrounding and in the middle of the rootball. At the top of the containers in the early stages I love a lighter soil, such Happy Frog, that is mainly sphagnum moss. It is the perfect medium for the upper spreader root mesh and the myco fungi network. When I get to my final container I usually just fill it all up with the organic chunky, like Ocean Forest, knowing that what is needed by then mostly is nutrition.

Then, after growing with it once and dumping those rootballs out into a bin to break up and reuse, it all gets blended together into a slightly charged up with super soil, chunky mix. I get some fresh supersoil (or make it) for the bottoms, and we repeat for the next several rounds with my now funky hyper blend middle mix, supersoil, and yes some fresh happy frog for the solo cup and 1 gallon stages, and we still layer it. I guess some day when all the chunky bits have gone and I have had to add perlite a couple of times because it is starting to compact, I will throw it all out in the garden and start the process over again.

 

[Jon]

Awww... that's the interesting one. Your method with blending the Sohum with potting mix sounds like what Emilya is doing in her GSC comparative grow.

You see Emilya's response about her soil? Not really like what I have going on I think. Lmao!!

Same principle of having differing layers of nutrient concentration throughout the bucket all I meant. Great description about reusing organic soil Emilya.

Grow/Veg Day 27
Thursday August 12
First Real Soaking
Training Chunky

Yesterday and today as they came ready the plants got their first real soaking of the grow. I'm not sure if this is early, late, or on time for that. I just feel it out and kind of go by the size of the plant and what my assessment of the size of the rootball is. Figured they could handle it now, and it appears that they are doing just fine. I don't really have any complaints about any of these guys so far. They all look pretty healthy, they all appear to be growing at a good rate, they all appear to respond the way they should to various stimuli. The environment remains as consistent as ever (thank you for getting your infrastructure in place first thing properly).

A couple interesting things.

- It blows my mind that one little drop of the mono-silicic acid in a half gallon of water will make the water foam up a little bit when you shake it up. I've been monitoring the plants regarding the effect the stuff is supposed to have. I obviously cannot see if it is helping them uptake nutrients more effectively, but what I can see is that the stems on all the plants are a bit stiffer and stronger than any of my plants in previous grows. They are not brittle at all. Just stronger. As I was training out the Chunkadelic it was very clear. I had to take my time, and go around the plant two or three times with little bends each time instead of one larger bend. This has not been the case in the past. It is supposed to, among other things, fortify the cell walls of the plant's stems, and it does indeed appear to be doing so up to this point.
- I trained out the Chunkadelic a little bit as you can see in the photos. Just pulled her branches out as evenly as the plant would allow me to. It's a bit late to train her, which is fine since there was no plan for significant training on this one, just getting light to what needs light. In the pictures I have the branches pulled out and the upper fan leaves are all tucked under so as to not block light. They're so big I am able to tuck them in a way where they'll actually stay where I want them to. That was another thing I noticed that I attribute to the mono-silicic acid - when something was done being bent where I wanted it, it seemed to be staying in place better than in the past. Maybe due to the increased density/strength in the stem cells? Anyway, the way I have her trained out she should develop into a very cool looking triangular Christmas tree sort of plant. I think she's going to bud pretty. And she really seems to like the Canna nutes. This plant is growing more vigorously than any auto I've grown to this point. Might just be this strain, but there's a good chance it's also that she is well fed and enjoying life because of it.
- The Hulkberry continues it's quest for normal growth, lol. Every time I look at this plant I laugh. Such a weirdo. I looked closely at her undergrowth today. Thinking about her topping or non-topping. I just don't feel like she has the girth I want before a topping yet, nor the vegetation density. Feels like it's still too early for her, especially if I'm going to top to between node two and three. I may have to let this girl get all the way to like eight nodes before chopping her all the way back, lol. That'll hurt.
- The Slurricane and Ghost Train Haze are fairly close to transplant. At that point they will start getting trained in earnest. As previously noted, the Slurricane is going into Sohum soil on transplant, the Ghost Train Haze into the Fox Farms usual blend.

That's about it guys. Thanks for tuning in.

Here's a pop quiz guys....

What happens to the plant if you accidentally cut off one of the two leaves that make up your second node when you're attempting to top between node two and three, leaving you with 2 cotyledons, 2 3-pointed leaves, and 1 5-point leaf?

I can tell you that the first thing that happens is you get pissed off. And now we're going to find out, unfortunately. I fricking cut the damn leaf off by mistake in the act of topping. I generally never defoliate this early.

The only thing I can say about this is that as always it was entirely my fault. (Duh, in this case who else's fault could it be?) I was early morning stoned, and I did not pay close enough attention. Simple as that. I fuc--d up. Goddamn Jelly Rancher topped with keefe. It's all your fault.

So I have already accepted that the likelihood is that I have just effectively stunted my plant a little bit. Is there agreement on this? Or do any of you guys see a more positive outcome than that?

What a dolt.

I guess we'll find out just how resilient a Sour Apple autoflower in the auto rig and in Sohum soil can be.

Here's a picture of the carnage. Note to self: don't run with scissors, asshole.

 

[Emilya Green]

She will survive, just with a little less energy to get going than would have been available with that missing leaf. Look twice, cut once

Grow/Veg Day 28
Transplant into Sohum soil of the Slurricane

Sorry, but stuff keeps happening and it has got to be documented. I'll make it brief. Today on August 13, Day 28 we transplanted the Slurricane into a five gallon Air Pot of 100% Sohum soil. The transplant went perfectly and the plant was exactly ready, as she drained her one gallon pot in like 28 hours! So there she is in the pics, and in a few days after she adjusts a little bit we'll start LST. My favorite part!

I am extremely curious to see how this plant fares going into the Sohum and getting nothing else but 6.3 water for the rest of the grow (in theory). Solid root ball. Shouldn't have any issues. My first stab at Sohum is officially underway with a photo!
