SoilGirl's Soil Multi-Strain Grow Journal 2014

[daTenshi]

I never measured the pH or ppm, and flushed with it directly from the faucet, and things got better. Now I am not saying you shouldn't adjust the pH, should do what feels right to you girl

 

[trichomes]

I can't even pick up by the stem yet without them sliding out of the cubes.... ehh :\

Washed hands with sanitizer before touching the stem , or gloves? be honest, I may have done that, but tugging on the stem with so much force that you rip all the rooty nipples off the stem (bad girl, go lie down!) and then look at it and wonder why it came out You're lucky that clones like you, I had a rooted girl in a one inch cube and I am trying to save her life now, I'm sure it was me over watering, again.

I'll learn, pklease stop tugging to see if yoy have rooots, wait until you see the white emerging from the cube, it is much more rewarding, I don't touch the stems until I see the white, just 2 cents. turned into a small rant , i'll be back

I 'll back up I am just a curious freak about seeing the present, before I back up to your girls growth progress, lol.

 

[Gfcollective]

im with trichomes, pulling on the stem i wouldnt recommend. if you dont see roots in 10-14 days i would count it as a loss and a slow grower. just started another 18 clones in one of my small domes the mad farmers root it is some great gel.

Thanks MAN, SoulGal's reminded me of daTenshi, she was abusing infants last week, picking at seeds with her claw,

must be a girl on girl thing, us men, at least me, treat ALL ladies (from jizz or seed)

like precious, irreplaceable, family heirlooms.

Hi guys, today I did a little top dressing for all 8 outdoor plants. Just eyeballed it, some EWC, Yum Yum, azomite, and 0-10-0 bat guano. A few I watered in with rainwater, but the others aren't ready for water yet. Big Mama is going to wait for her flush til tomorrow, I'm going to do a PeeJay flush on her (15 mins soaking 3/4ths the way up the pot in clean water) once the tap water has had another day to dechlorinate. My tap isn't good. 8.0 pH consistently and hard, I don't have a PPM meter, but much harder than Denver water. I'm wondering if I should adjust pH for the flush, but I'm doubting it, largely because Big Mama is in the soil with the most peat moss and least additives I'm assuming that the pH near the roots will stay low despite the high pH tap. But I'm worried because she has the least organic matter to buffer the pH, so if I mess up by not pHing the flush water it could potentially get worse... Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Flashback, I had this discussion when Fluxy Lady was on death row in April,

it's all about the soil used, good soil will correct PH.

Lester never checks PH & grows trophy plants with hard, high PH water from his garden hose.

I'll find the shares and share the best with you , cause I like you so much

I like your plan, great shares, & yes, I'm still going backwards.

Yeah I'm not going to adjust the pH... thanks for the input daTz

LOL oh my gosh I must already be in the Twilight Zone! trichs graced my 'yard' with his hilarious presence!
Unfortunately my present update, won't be until tomorrow. I decided to put it off until I flush Mama. :S I hope you'll stop by tomorrow and see it though!

Oh and about the stem thing LOL, no I didn't wash my hands, but neither did I pull it out of the cube haha. I just gave it the lightest tug, and if its wiggly I leave it alone. I'm impatient okay gosh!!! yeah I suppose I should just wait 'til I see roots, I've done it a couple times hahaha.... but actually I've had pretty good success with cloning I had one 'goner. But 7 successfully rooted and healthy and growing, and many with ones I did the stem test with before seeing roots, and was able to hold up the cube by the stem, heres a pic:

It worked out, that plant is happily growing in my new veg room now haha and the others I did the same thing to all survived except for the one I might have drowned in rooting concentrate..... oops. Lol.
I don't think I'm going to infect it just by touching the stem but ok Mr. Clean I see where I could f*ck up by pulling the stem out of the cube, it happened once.......... coincidentially.... it's also that one that died LOL I will watch my hand hygiene around my clones and plants and try and be patient thank you for caring trichs!

im with trichomes, pulling on the stem i wouldnt recommend. if you dont see roots in 10-14 days i would count it as a loss and a slow grower. just started another 18 clones in one of my small domes the mad farmers root it is some great gel.

I&i

You throw out slow clones?? Well you're part of a collective I understand your approach, but for me, until there's no life in that clone I'm going to keep fighting for it Half my plants wouldn't exist if I threw 'em out for being slow pokes! I haven't used my root it gel yet, but glad to hear it works, and I hope your journal will be back up and going soon! and like I said above I will do my best to be patient from now on

 

[trichomes]

what I see in that picture is clone abuse & roots in agony for the entire duration of you hanging that poor girl by her neck.

it appears that you have claws similar to daT,she'll like dat.

you have a good one their so your method is working,

LOL omg. That's so funny.... yeah us girls can be hard on each other lol! I can imagine myself committing abuse w/ purple claw........

Great share yourself Mr. Trichs! PeeJay and a few others may have beat you to it but its certainly rewarding to hear it reiterated from everyone who grows! I'm not worrying about pH anymore, my pH messing-with f*cked up my 2 biggest plants Mama and Lucy. Mama most though, she's still looking a bit down. I look forward to seeing those shares!

Yea us girls enjoy abusing each other!

Women are STRONG! We've done it so long we can take it don't mess with us guys! We'll ninja your brains.

omg I haven't snorted laughing in a long time. You just achieved something noteworthy LOL.
I feel all sorts of sinister and malevolent now for torturing clones. daTz and I will have to start a Mominatrix thread for plants at this rate.

[PeeJay]

Oh wow aren't I lucky? Not only do I get an answer from the Soil King himself, but I don't need to worry about any N nutes. Coolio, although I was a bit excited to do the feather meal. If its not necessary its not necessary, but perhaps I'll still make a small batch of feather meal and throw it in the composter... just for posterity's sake haha.
Is there any other basic additives you might recommend PeeJay? Or do you think some home made compost, a little (really...probably not enough) EWC, yum yum mix, azomite, jamaican bat guano, and peruvian seabird guano should cut it?

Thanks so much for gracing me with your presence here PeeJay! It is beyond valued.

Soil King? I don't know about that... I've just spent a lot of time thinking things through. A couple of other members are trying what I do. We'll see how it works for them. In all cases the mixes have been a little different. Reg's is drastically different. All of the mixes are based on the same principal - moving the plant into a much larger container right before switching into flower with a soil higher in phosphorous.

All of the soils are home mixed as opposed to straight out of a bag but are built on the same basic principals as high-quality bagged soils are - things like FFOF or Roots Organic. They all are built on a neutral medium, usually peat, and enriched with composted material, mineral elements, etc. Because we select our own ingredients to add to the neutral mix we have more control over the quality and characteristics of the dirt.

You'll want a neutral medium like peat, sunshine #4, or ProMix, and something to improve the drainage like perlite or lava sand, SGirl. Then you can enrich the soil with the Yum, azomite, worm castings, guanos and compost - paying some mind to the notion that there is such a thing as soil being too rich or "hot."

Hi guys, today I did a little top dressing for all 8 outdoor plants. Just eyeballed it, some EWC, Yum Yum, azomite, and 0-10-0 bat guano.

But I'm worried because she has the least organic matter to buffer the pH, so if I mess up by not pHing the flush water it could potentially get worse... Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

If your tap/well water is hard with a high pH it won't work as well for a bottom flush as clean water will. pH and PPM are two different things but related. pH that is not close to neutral is due to a high PPM. PPM is a measure of all the things dissolved in the water that are NOT water. Some of those things can cause the water to have a lower pH and some things can cause it to have a higher pH. Low pH water is an uncommon problem in drinking water, but is possible. Think acid rain where rain water picks up acidic particles as it falls from the sky.

In any event, a flush works by the simple chemical principal of diffusion. Things move from higher concentration to lower concentration. The lower the concentration of things in the flush water, the more things that are not tightly bound to soil components will be removed from the medium.

So long as the concentration of unbound stuff in the soil is higher than the concentration of stuff dissolved in the water, the flush is going to remove undesirable build-up that occurs in the soil over time as the plants and soil biota grow. They poop and pee waste into the soil just like we do. Over time unusable waste builds up. A flush gets rid of a bunch of the waste. A clean water flush is the best because it will attract and hold onto a greater amount of waste than water that already has things dissolved in it.

The water out of the tap where I live is rubbish for growing plants in containers. My solution is to fill up big water jugs from the water machines that sit outside almost every supermarket around here and is treated with activated carbon filtration and reverse osmosis. It cost $1.25 for five gallons - a fraction of buying 1 gallon jugs of water. Of course lugging two 6 gallon jerry cans of water at a time through the parking lot to the car and from the car into the house is a chore, but it's good exercise.

Adding a pH down product to water is not at all the same thing as water cleaned by distillation or reverse osmosis. Some reactions take place to change the pH. In simple terms you are doing the same thing as when you mix baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda is sodium carbonate. The things that play a large role in raising water pH are mostly carbonate compounds too, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, etc. When a pH down product is added to the water it reacts with the carbonates and CO2 gas is formed that bubbles out of the water - reducing the pH. The pH down doesn't do much to reduce the PPM of the water because the other part of the carbonate compounds is left behind in the solution as a salt.

Anyway, flushing with the tap water won't be as effective as flushing with truly clean water, but it will still remove waste - just not as much.

Wow, I can't thank you enough for stopping by and giving some thought to my issues, but have some measly reps as a start.
As for your first response, it just so happens I've been growing with Sunshine #4 for a few years already. So far, with lots of dabbling, (and before any organic additives) my chosen mix has become 1 part home made compost, 1 part just backyard tilled up soil, 1 part perlite, 1 part vermiculite, and about 3-4 parts Sunshine #4 Advanced/Organic. But I'm thinking about adding one part of FFOF in there.

I'm going to use a mix of yours for seedlings; I saw your instructions for a seedling mix over in Reg's yard. For veg I was going to go with my above mix, and some added yum yum, azomite, EWC and maybe a touch of seabird guano. For flower, same thing as veg but with added 0-10-0 jamaican bat guano.

For your second response, very thoughtful of you I appreciate your time so much, what I'm taking from it is basically: Messing with the pH of my tap water for the flush isn't going to do anything good, that I SHOULD get a much more pure water for flushing because it will be more effective, but yet the tap water will still help remove unwanted wastes. I'm going to go ahead with the tap water flush today, and see what it does for Mama. Thank you PeeJay! You're a lifesaver!

You've got the gist of it, for sure. Water quality is an interesting issue. Lester, for example, has water with a somewhat high pH he uses to water everything without making any adjustments at all and gets great results. It kind of depends what is in the water that causes the pH to be too high and if the soil biota, soil buffering capacity and CEC can remidiate any pH issues from the water, I reckon.

Sometime I need to grow a plant and use my tap water, use drops to remove the chlorine/cholamines the city adds and see if it is worth it to lug those big jugs around.... Since I just grow a couple of plants at a time I can only do so many trials at once.

Yeah, Lester grows some real beauties I think that experiment is a great idea For me, collecting rainwater just seems like the right sustainable thing to do, on top of how clean and pure it is - but if I run out I'm much more comfortable now using my tap. I'll be growing with much more organic pH buffers, I think its a fascinating concept that in organic growing you want your soil to be just as alive as your plant.

 

[SoilGirl]

Okay, the PeeJay's Special Bath is under way right now just added a little more EWC and a couple pellets of Peruvian Seabird guano to each outdoor plant as a top dressing, will be watering in with a little PP Microbe Life by Eco. Labs to really encourage more establishment of myco's at the root level.

 

[OnTheMove]

hey! yeh life is great here thanks for askin, much more going on than in spain, thats just a place to get dehydrated and wasted at partys lol!

im definatly going to make my own soil next year, i read somewhere that feathers have the most nitrogen than any other organic thing, wih i had known this when i had chickens! nitrogen from feathers and potassium from poo! fuck, all i really need is a mars light and a chicken, fucking sorted! i actually very nearly came to switzerland on a horse and cart with chickens lol

 

[Gfcollective]

You throw out slow clones?? Well you're part of a collective I understand your approach, but for me, until there's no life in that clone I'm going to keep fighting for it Half my plants wouldn't exist if I threw 'em out for being slow pokes! I haven't used my root it gel yet, but glad to hear it works, and I hope your journal will be back up and going soon! and like I said above I will do my best to be patient from now on

hey soilgirl! there is a few reasons i throw out slow clones but for the main one is since ive been doing clones i have great success with getting roots in 7-10 days. there has been 3 clones out of the 60+ that ive cloned myself now that i have thrown away because i didnt see roots within 10 days. now the concept i use for this is the same as germinating seeds.. if there is a slow seed then that plant (from what i understand) will not grow as fast or as healthy as the seeds that sprout right out. this may not be true but as you stated i have more clones and germinated seeds then i know what to do with so when i see 1 out of 20 that look sad after awhile, she be thrown to the curb as sad as it is.

about my journal, it will slowly be coming back alive. ive got my flower room almost fully setup got my fan up last night just couldnt find my black straps to hang carbon filter so thatll be going up tonight as i cleaned the new veg room and organized the garden supplys and found the straps! so a few pics of what ive been up to recently will be going up today, and more to follow. Sour Tsunami is the Redwoods of cannabis, about all i have to say right now about the garden ha

Outdoor plants update!~!
Woohoo! I'm feeling much better about all my outdoor plants now that I'm laying off the bottled GO nutes and giving them nice organic soil additives, with clean water and a touch of liquid Myco's. If you haven't been following closely, I recently got some Yum Yum mix, Azomite, EWC's, Jamaican 0-10-0 Bat Guano, Peruvian 12-11-2 Seabird Guano, and have been told by many fellow organic soil growers to just LEAVE THE pH ALONE, because if you have well balanced organic soil, it should take care of your pH for you.

This was after I ran some pH tests on my water+GO nutes, found it very low, and rushed to correct the pH with exorbitant amounts of pH up >.< well..... I wasn't ACTUALLY having any problems until then, but that is when problems started. My two oldest plants, Big Mama (Unknown Hybrid #1) and Juicy Lucy (Unknown Hybrid #2) were the ones I tried to adjust pH most in, and they both promptly started showing bleached spots on their leaves, necrosis, yellowing, deformation, burns, just about anything that can go wrong in a leaf. I'm pretty sure that whatever happy biota there was in the soil of those 2 pre-pH adjusting were killed by my drench of pH Up to make it even worse.

Lucy wasn't as badly hit as Mama, although not as happy as the rest of my plants, and is slowly improving... I'm not so worried about her, I think she'll be just fine as long as I give her mostly clean water for the rest of her life and let my organic additives do their thing. Big Mama is another story, she never quite perked back up into the lovely, vigorously growing girl I used to know, try as I might. So here was/is my plan of action for her:

- Top dress with generous EWC, Yum Yum mix, a little of the guanos, and some Azomite and work into top 1/2 inch of soil. (this I actually did for all outdoor plants)
- Do a Special PeeJay Bath (AKA flush) for 15 minutes in a tub of water as pure as you can get, (which for me was rain water, it rained last night, so actually I didn't use tap water and just used the fresh rainwater which I'm very pleased about) about 3/4ths the way up the side of the pot.
- Final watering with 1 gallon clean rain water and one teaspoon of added PP Microbe Life by Ecological Labs to re-inoculate roots with Mycorrhizaes. Then its just wait and see how things go.

Here's Big Mama in her special bath. Also, notice how she's starting to produce trichomes finally?

Now... onto my rather perplexing news... know how I mentioned we got a nice rain last night? Well this morning I went to check on my plants... When I went over to take a look at my smallest outdoor plants, those 2 Lucy clones that had virtually no veg period but are doing beautifully, and I noticed this one side branch with a weird, mutant looking bud. I pick off the mutant looking bit, which had been CHEWED from inside apparently, and find this Teeny Tiny no longer than 2 or 3 millimeters baby 'pillar!!!! THE HORROR!!!! *spits 3 times, dusts shirt off 3 times, spins around 3 times**becomes religious again* deliver me from evil damn it!~!

I did not wait to take a picture, my reflexes kicked in, and the motherfluxer is dead, and the whole budsite it was in was picked off. Luckily from what I can tell, it was too small to do enough damage to cause full on bud rot just yet though. Here's some pics of those lucy clones.

And here's a pic of whats left of the bud site I found the pooping looper in -.- It's time to break out the ice pick, and turn up the vigilance.

AND, on top of that, I found 3 grasshoppers when I went out this morning, all munching on my leaves/stems/buds!!!!!!!! 2 were on Mini-Mama, 1 was on Euphoria!! I delicately captured each of them, .....and mercilessly ended their miserable bud munching lives sorry bugs but this girl, while very creeped out by crawly critters, will take none of your sh*t this grow. I remember Blue Widow and Sharks Breath!! (for me this is a battle cry similar to "Remember the Alamo!!" )
I did not take pictures of them either, nor can I share the image of their mangled corpses as per rules, so lets leave their story at a line from one of my favorite books/movies, "who could've known that one so small... could endure so much pain. And he did Gandalf, oh he did." MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Ah ha.. ha.. moving on

Well here's Mini Lucy. Last week's super crop took well and she's certainly taking to her new Awesome-Pot and soil as well. She's being a little slow on the trichs, but this seems to be happening with all Lucy's clones. I think the Lucy genetics are leaning towards a slow-flowering sativa like Hawaiian Punch, which I grew one of a couple summers ago.

Since we've been on the topic of Lucy, might as well finish with Juicy Lucy herself wait... I forgot to get a zoomed out picture of her?? Herpa derp. Was too focused on BBK and Eup, and even Mini Mama. Lol well here's how she's flowering anyways, I'll get an overall look at her posted later today.

Now, on to a beautiful girl that is quickly stealing my heart, BBK Since her move into the 7 gal air pot, she has shot up new growths like rockets, and developed a smell and stickiness that anyone who loves Bubba as much as I do would swoon over lol. My simple side-LSTing really benefited her and allowed the low growth to become something actually formidable. She was the last plant outdoors to show pistils, so shes a tiny bit behind in trichome production, but expect to see great things from this lady very soon. I'm beyond stoked that I still have 3 very viable looking BBK seeds.

Now on to my frostiest outdoor girl Euphoria. She has such a unique citrusy smell with a little ground black pepper in the under tones, gets frosty so quickly, she's very resilient and not needy, and is growing her buds in what seems to be such a nice compact style, that this strain is an absolute keeper for me. One of my favorites to grow yet. I only have one more seed of Euphoria, so I'm going to try and keep clones from this plant going as long as possible. Well with no further ado, here she is

AND, last but not least, Mini Mama.
Mini Mama, is living proof that hand training alone can achieve an even canopy of several tops and a trident-like branch hub structure. I'm really pleased, and a bit surprised, by how she turned out. And even though she has an even canopy, the light actually penetrates surprisingly far down each main cola... this is going to be a no fuss high yield girl I can already tell.. it was almost too easy. Just a little tug on a branch here and there once or twice a day until she was in flowering.

And I just felt like finishing up with a little family photo, not the best, but in the back ground behind the picket fence, underneath the blue sky and the neighbor behind us' roof, you can actually see part of our wine grape vine on the fence. Below that, we have lots of butternut and spaghetti squash growing. Just felt like sharing that haha, I have to go harvest a few butternuts after this.

Thanks for coming by, hope you enjoyed!

Edit: Just wanted to add that all 3 of my clones inside the ghetto dome, have popped roots! 10 days total for all 3!~! new record for me The Euphoria that popped a few at day 8 is going into soil today and getting moved to the veg room (temporarily) too! Happy days See ya!
