I think Scotts/Miracle Grow has gotten a bad wrap. They were definitely behind the times for the cannabis community, but seem to have figured out that the market is enormous now. They have been releasing a few new products that I wouldn't mind trying in my garden. Seems they are trying a bunch of new organic products.
Breaks my heart to think that I went out and spent between $7-800 to create 200 L of custom living Organics soil, and then 6 months later Miracle-Gro puts out a bagged product that costs $80 a piece and ultimately has some of the same formulation...... great learning experience for me though as I got a pretty good rundown of what all of the organic amendments in my soil does. Also allows need to change my custom formulation accordingly if I see any deficiencies.....well Van's formulation lol.I think Scotts/Miracle Grow has gotten a bad wrap.

At the very least, it is widely available and easy to grab in a pinch.

I'm being as patient as possible for sure lol. I have definitely noticed the difference in watering time when it's time to take care of the girls in Stank soil. Seen below, the 5 medium sized pots are all your mix....one of your ATFs back right.
I am not sure whats getting used up in the soil. One thought that Ms Stank and I had was sending in a couple samples to be analyzed. We want to send in our original unused recipe sample, the new recipe unused sample and two samples from used versions of both. I can probably better answer you question when we do that.I'm being as patient as possible for sure lol.

So what have you found gets used up primarily? My batches are 100L each but 1st time around I made 2 full batches. I still have a hundred L tote full for the future. I do however water that batch about once every 30 days. I wish I had the space to get into vermicomposting..... I just think that's adding another element of unknown for me if I need to make it outside. Our municipality has been composting for over 20 years.
The strain I have going now seems to have a sweet spot of 6.0. That dwc plant is a beast can’t wait to see how the the Gg plant grows in the bucket.@Van Stank, one of my girls in Stank soil......any idea? Could be as simple as too much water. This one got hit twice 2 days ago by accident.....the only one showing anything questionable.
Otherwise, my girls are doing great! My ATFs in flower are stacking.....
Veg is getting super tight so I flipped my Trailer Trash Betty's into flower to fully identify sex (@Jackalope). Need to know by next weekend as they are migrating to my brothers for some deck love. It'll also give me a chance to uppot them into some 5 gallons . I'll be taking some clones first mind you lol. My dream, my critical mass and my critical mass CBD plant are all doing great in veg.
My ATF mother that I may very well flip into flower next round as I have taken a pile of cuttings that I plan on using to create a new mother. I will also be taking clones off my critical mass, my CBD critical mass as well as my to dream before they get flipped into flower in about 10 days.
My Gorilla Glue Auto......loving life!
Next is my Crown Royal in flower, shes turning out beautifully!
My buddy KCCO77, explained that when my girls in dwc are in late flower, that I should be raising my pH Up slightly higher than my normal of 5.7 into the low 6's so that my girls can take up magnesium a lot more easily..... I thought that 5.7 is exactly where I should be all the way through flower.......Learn something new everyday.
Think that's all...... I will update this one more photos tonight if I get a chance. I hope you all have a fantastic day.
Ok cool. Yes I thought earlier (who knows where in my journal, lol), that I had read that I didn't need to pH my water, just use it right out of the wall.. Being said, last winter when I checked my pH coming out of the wall after 24 hours in a bucket with 7.0. When I checked it yesterday after you sent me the message, it was 7.6 so that should explain why she looks the way she does. It's actually shown up on both of my Critical Mass now but not the Blue dream, so mental note on the Critical mass.
Nitro def starts on lowers firstA couple of more up to date shots.
Definitely noticing what appears to be nitrogen deficiency in one of my ATF plants in flower. This is presently approximately day 30 for them.
Speaking of ATFs, my 3 girls in flower are really getting there now. Stacking up, filling in the voids between the flowers. I've never had three plants that tried so hard. Interesting in the growth difference too. The two that are are together are under one particular type of LED, and the single plant by itself is under and other type of LED along with my Crown Royal. You guys tell me what you think.
Here's my Crown Royal under the same light. This girl is chugging along beautifully.
I think that's it for now. I didn't get a lot of time in the grow room over the weekend as I am building a new fence around my property. The neighbor complained about my dog barking at him LOL.
You guys have a great week..... Be safe!
There's a lab in Ontario tgatcdoes just that for MJ. I met them at a show
Hopefully that gets u back where u need to be brother!!
My PH for sure, and your tip regarding the fish fertilizer has been indispensable so far, especially for the extra nitrogen. Still waiting on one of my Critical Mass to come around..... I hate seeing her leaves droopy like that. No worse, no better.....
