Phantom’s Soil Ginger Punch Auto Grow Journal

[The Phantom]

wow girls look great!! got a link to that microscope?

Thanks. I just sent you a PM with the link to the one I bought. If you do a search on the Zon for usb/WiFi microscopes you’ll find it too.

How did I miss this whole journal until now?
Bud looks fantastic!

Edit: just ran through and caught up from the beginning. Didn’t “like” anything since that would just run a train on your notifications. I did like to though....

Meh just a little side project I have going on for fun, there hasn't been much to report.

wow! that coln looks amasian \
looks like harvest day is not too far

Still getting caught up but if you feed to run off 10 - 20% you shouldn't have a problem with any buildup. I would also feed every time.

Sorry forgot to put the quote in I was replying to.

The girls got 1 gallon of 4.0 grams per gallon each with 1/2 the recommended dosage of Sea-K. I think at this point I’ll be feeding heavy and often with maybe every 3 days a good drink of just water because I’m afraid of possible build up due to the crazy evaporation rate here, 110F @ 10% or less RH. I know the Sunshine Mix is considered a soilless media and that it should be feed all the time but my situation may need require special circumstances. I’ll give them a big drink in the evening of pH water followed by a healthy drink of nutrients after, every 3 or so days.

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Looking great Phantom I did start from the beginning and I did give you all the likes you deserve.

4.75g a gallon seems to be the sweet spot for plants with MC nutr

 

[oldsmokey]

And he is probably cursing me for all the notifications

Only my second grow with MC but last time I started getting lock out at 5.5gm. this grow the bluecheese is showing some nitrogen toxicity at 5 so I have gone to 4.5gm. I see others going higher. Depends on strain.

@oldsmokey yes, i've also noticed from reading differnt threads that the strain that you are growing can take different levels of nutri. currently i am sitting at 5tbs of MC per gallon.

I was like holy hell what did I say now that I have all these notifications!

Now that they've gone into flowing I've been feeding all the time, no more wastewater. My garden actually has been using up all my rdwc wastewater with the heat now anyways.

I think next time I'm growing outside during the desert heat I'll water to runoff and use a silica supplement.

Hey Phantom,

You have a beautiful setup, I’m jealous of the whole outdoor patio garden thing! Hot stuff growing in desert climate, I bet that adds some unique challenges. Nice setup with shade cloth & misting capabilities. You are definitely on right track with supplements, think kelp is good for mitigating heat & also that Vulx product has water retention properties.

There’s a question posted in the FAQ page about flushing perlite on rdwc system, can you take a stab at that one? here’s link... Flushing perlite

 

[The Phantom]

Yes it does come with unique challenges, sunburn bring the biggest.

thats a easy DYI fix tho

Thanks for stopping by over there Phantom, my only concern was the same question had been posted by the op for 2 or more weeks with hardly any answers.

 

[The Phantom]

Sitting next to the girls now in the setting sun with a beer and cannot for the life of me figure out why there's so many GD flies around until I put two and two together and see they are all hanging around the stink of the girls. Things have gotten pungent, in a very skunky way, I can smell them from across the yard now. #1 is getting close, maybe a week. #2 is still a ways off, 2 weeks + if the humidity stays a bit longer.

They both definitely got melanoma being outside.

 

[oldsmokey]

Filling out nicely! Melanoma I would probably melt in those temps.
