Shottafire's Manic Organic 2kw Perpetual With Supersoil & Teas

[shottafire]

Ok I am still learning the supersoils and what they do.

For your circumstance cascadian I need to ask pot size and how long roughly you plan to veg. If you transplant from a three gallon pot go to 7 if your in 5 go up to ten. If you take a three and go to a five there is not enough energy to carry you through a couple weeks veg and half the flower cycle so I like to make sure there is a good base of super soil in the pot to carry me as far as possible without issues.

If you planned on reducing the batch down with added bags of roots I would go no more than two bags.

experimenting with it is what I am doing now.

Thanks Shotta and all you guys, your doing all the hard work on the supersoils etc. It means when I get organized enough to give this route a try I'll be able to do so with complete confidence. So please keep it coming.

All green goodness to your girls my friend.

Fun thing about experimenting Shotta is you're never going to be happy. So it's almost a never ending cycle of fun

It never ends! And sometimes....if everything goes right, the quality improves too!

I am on my first round using Super Soil and with these 8 I went from Solo cups to #5 nursery pots. They vegged longer than I had planned
but now that I looked back it was only a month exactly that they vegged and are now today 14 days into flower. Only thing Ive done to them so far is adding Lime to the tops of the pots a couple weeks into the veg because of rusty spots on a few leaves and what appeared to be a Mag def. Both are no longer an issue but I do have some leaves on the lower branches that are drying up and falling off some look frosty and are brown and crispy. I plan to chop the lower couple branches off them at my day 21 defol which would remove most if not all of those spots.

I think rather than adding any more soil at this time Ill just wait n see how these 8 turn out. I am thinking about using my 7Gal SmartPots on the next round after I harvest my outdoor.

Oh and I have a 3ft Sour D in a 7 Gal SmartPot with Super Soil outside thats only about 4 weeks into flower and the top Cola is about a foot long and bigger around than the cola on my 4ft Blue Dream thats also in a 7Gal SmartPot with FFOF, Coco and Perlite mix Ive been feeding nutes and is almost finished

I just got back from doing errands and picked up some terraprima soil amendment to try out i couldnt pass it up since the store offered it to me for half price and it seemed like a product worthy of experimenting with. It is chock full of good stuff and I am excited to use this stuff for my teas and also my various soil blends.

Mixing up a brix kit in about 20 gonna do a little picture tutorial and what not.

 

[Graytail]

I'm eager to see how Doc's kit works for you, shotta!

 

[Light Addict]

Can't wait for your tute my friend gonna be really cool to learn many thanks for sharing your wisdom.

 

[shottafire]

I mixed up my pro mix with my wormcastings and amend as directed by docbuds hi brix instructions.

It was pretty basic and no need to do a tutorial really just a few pics and in a month or so I will have things going in

a new journal just for the kit.

Ok your blend looks great. If you were not going to use the crushed oyster shell i would have used two tablespoons of lime. With the crushed oyster shell I would match the amount of lime you used.

With alfalfa meal I like to use it sparingly no more than two tbsp per bag

Feather meal 3tbsp

insect frass 3tbsp


Dont be afraid to use a little more azomite as well.

 

[shottafire]

I had to cull my strawberry tahoe it looked like hermies were on there way and the plant did not fit my garden. It was a sore sight everytime I walked into my room.

It felt soo good to remove that ugly thing.

It is fine since I have plants ready to fill the space. But I must say removing plants like that is very important. My other plants were getting starved for light and space because she was a greedy plant. it was pissing me off a tad.

i will post a pic of the dead "thing" in a bit.

Thanks dude, I was thinking 2 or 3 tablespoons of azomite? And I also forgot to add neem seed meal as well, and it seems 1/4 cup would work.

I was thinking it was for two bags.

I would go 2 tbsp of each
feather meal
insect frass
neem seed meal
azomite

1tbsp of alfalfa meal.

dont forget to get some mychorrizae in there like 1/4 cup per bag. I like to use 2tbsp of powdered mychorrizae and 2 tbsp of granular mychorrizae

the granular gets mixed and the great white is added to the water that you start the cooking process with.

hope this helps.

Alright so upon closer inspection there is still visible signs of powdery mildew on a few of the plants.

I am going to go the milk route now and see how that works. This has been the most problematic run yet but to be honest there has been a lot learned this run too. Like how important it is to quarantine and treat the plant for everything before introducing it to the rest of the garden. seeds are so much better in that respect. but damn they are too expensive.

here are some pics of the girls at 28 days.

the culled strawberry tahoe

the two plants that are left after the culling.

LOL, shotta, that tray of Bubbas looks like some sort of CGI, y'know where they multiply a few spectators into a sea of people. Each top the same. Heheh, and frost! Wow. Lookin' very good.

 

[Light Addict]

Looking great my friend, it was a necessary evil to kill that one little offender, anyway more light for the others as you said!
Your scrog just looks so sweet! loads of heads. You should check my update today its getting hectic already lol.

May your buds frost up until it looks like Jack frost himself grew em! (your half way there)

 

[BigIrishDoode]

Dang I use like a tbps AZOMITE per gal soil works out to a cup or 2 depending on how big a batch but it's coco and I don't add Guano those last 4 things or as much stuff as subsoil, I add a lot of wormcastings like 30lbs cheap I make my own and they eat cannabis lots of cannabis! I add blood &bone meal lots of calciums (gypsum,carbonate,lime,DE) ,, Epsom salts,and lots of mykos like fuzz grows on the outside of my smartpots if I poke a stick in a pot it yelps they are so alive! Oh and I got hip to kelloggs ferts I like the tropical all organic complete with tons of mykos ormi listed I just pitch a handful across the top maybe 1/2 cup mixed in for humic & fulvic acid I use dark matter humate tea then it's just drenches and foliars coco feeds different so I have modified things I'm sure more mods are to come
Poor strawberry t I always have such a hard time killing off a plant even males lol but it's a nesessary evil at times, the sig is looking fantastic shotta someday I'll try for one like that when I can decide on one strain I like

 

[shottafire]

I am very careful to not add more than necessary, although azomite is the exception you can go heavier if you like it is not a problem. I recently ran out of azomite and i can not get it in cali now. bummer.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by my sig bid. but thank you anyways buddy.

Your girls are looking better and better every grow. this one is really beautiful with all the purp in there. reps ordered

 

[RainStacks]

I just popped in to pay my respects good sir Congrats on your MOTM win! I hope that the milk gets rid of the PM for you.

What were the signs the strawberry tahoe was hermie? Was it tall spindly, or were you seeing something else? Also in post 375 seventh pic down what strain is the bushy plant in the bottom right hand corner there?

It does look like CG in Graytail! Perfect description. Keep it up Shotta
