Onwards & Upwards With Mr Am4zin

[KingstonRabbi]

This may be a little late for chocoloco, but I recently tried rabbit manure tea for a struggling plant. The tea was bubbling after 24 hours so very much alive. It doesn't contain micos, but it may be feeding any micos left in soil as well as providing organic nute boost to plants. I used it once about 2 weeks ago and yellowing stopped. It seems to have recharged soil, or maybe it's just a long lasting fertilizer

Advantages of rabbit manure is that it's mostly vegetable fiber, so:
a) it doesn't smell like other manures (unless you let it rot)
b) it won't burn plants even without composting (slow release, needs bacteria to make organic N available, bacteria included)
c) it comes in convenient dry pellets that are easy to work with or store as needed.

Not to mention it comes from the cutest organic fertilizer source on earth.
If you can find a source it might be worth keeping on hand for LOS in small pots.

KR, thanks for popping in buddy and kudos for the rabbit poop info. There used to be plenty of wild bunnies up on the hills here but numbers have dwindled over the years and they are rarely seen nowadays.

How about some pics of the flowering girls?

Chocoloco, the self Trimming plant has started falling over now.

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Took some clones too. Here was my process

Select plant. I chose Freddie's best as I needed to trim her back.

This is my clone...

Sandwich bag with a root riot cube

Take the cut with a sharp razor

Into the clonex

Into the cube

Blow up the bag and seal.

I took 4 clones in total. 2 from Freddie best and 2 CBD critical cure. Managed to squeeze them in there.

I need to get off my ass and build that light, this space needs it.

 

[Jaga]

Good luck with the clones Mr

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Good luck with the clones Mr

I'm not holding out much hope for the clones if I'm honest. I had a problem keeping the sandwich bags inflated so I dropped them into solo cups with clear film on the top.


On another note......


I was looking at the trichomes on Chocoloco last night. She appeared to be showing all cloudy with 1 or 2 amber thrown about. Now she is only 12/12 +52 of a projected 63. With space being a premium in my little flower box of wonders, I've taken the decision to cut her down tonight.

More to follow

With the plastic bag,
how long it takes to take root?

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

I have no experience but from what I've read, anything from 7 days to 3 weeks.

harvest​

Last night the chocoloco came down. She lived a sad life and returned me not a lot, I'll be lucky to pull an Oz from this girl.

This harvest brings this journal to a close. Keep your eyes open this weekend for a new one.

 

[KingstonRabbi]

A slightly bittersweet closing, but congratulations on the harvest. You pioneered LOS in small pots in a cabinet, no small feat. Thank you for that. +reps

I'll have to review the stuff I missed in the middle, but I think with a few tweaks and some duct tape we can keep LOS stable in small pots. It'd be a shame if small scale growers couldn't benefit from using this stuff. Hook up with a local rabbit and make a deal for some high brix amendment. I hear they're fond of stems, maybe you could work out a trade.

SweetSue uses the plastic bag cloning method. Caused a bit of a population problem when she underestimated its effectiveness.
Her current grow: SweetSue's Perpetual 2.0 - The Transition To Doc Bud's HBB Kit I couldn't find the actual posts, but she won't mind explaining it again.

Thanks KR. I'm glad to see her hanging and not making the place look untidy. As for soil, I'm currently testing a mix with the 3 big girls left in flower, it's going OK, starting to fade a bit now but due for chop in a week or 2. I'll explain more about this in the next journal. If I'm being honest the los was a bit of a failure for me. Worked ok on the first run but it died early in the second. I've not given up on Los just yet but I'm working on a water only soil mix.

I tried this method but the bags kept deflating on me, I'll try again soon tho.

Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for sharing this grow with us.

Please head over to the 420 Strain Reviews forum and post your smoke report there too.

I’m moving this to Completed Journals now.

Have you started a new grow you would like to share with us?

If so, please feel free to start a new journal here: Journals in Progress

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.

Congrats on the harvest MrA, looking forward to your next run

I had 1 Chocoloco seed but the germination failed and I was really looking forward to that smoke as I love Chocolate. Let us know how it turns out after the cure please.

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

cure I don't think I've had a bud long enough for a good cure yet. I tend to consume more than I can grow, for now, the veg space will change that. Most of the chocoloco will go for extracts but I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. I have another seed left so I can give her a proper run at life.

 

[cannanewb]

You can be guaranteed I will have two of those seeds for my next grow just in case.

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

I purchased a 3 pack from spannabis in 2015 and had 1 fail which struck me as odd. I don't lose many seeds. The Chocoloco is 1 of 2 that I've ever lost.

 

[cannanewb]

Me too Mr A out of 20 seeds I lost 1 Chocoloco and 1 White widow. This is only my second year growing.

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

I'm in my 3rd year now, only ever grown from seed. When I started the veg space I planted 10 expecting a few not to pop up and I got 10. I must be lucky.
