Hello everyone,
I would like to take a second to welcome and thank you for checking out my new journal. As some of you know, my last grow was a bit of a roller coaster. It wound up being a successful grow, but just barely. As a result I have changed my entire system. This time around I will be running Living Organic Soil in No-Till pots. I will be utilizing and relying on the Soil Food Web to grow the highest quality flowers the world has ever seen!
The soil I mixed up is made from Clackamas Coots recipe. I will post that recipe as well as the report I did on Jeff Lowenfels lecture on the Soil Food Web. I started a thread with my report, but I think I will post it here too. Hopefully more people will see it and realize that it just makes sense, and it's so easy and MUCH more cost effective. I made a Cu. Yard of soil for under $300. This yard of soil, provided I don't mess it up, will last me, oh I don't know..... The REST OF MY LIFE! No joke
The soil has been placed into approximately 7gallon and 5gallon fabric pots that I made myself. I have never used a sewing machine before so it was a very fun a challenging project. 30 fabric pots is a lot of work. Slow going too due to my inexperience, but I got through it! and I saved over $150! Now I have a whole bunch of fabric pots that are much cooler looking than anything on the market! Thanks Cannafan! I owe you something
If you would like to save a bunch of money and have a little fun with your frustration, you can get Cannafan's instructions on how to make the fabric pots here: DIY fabric grow pots "Cannabags" made from Eco Felt They are VERY clear and easy to follow. Check it out!
Everybody is still vegging while they get used to the soil. I have 17 in the flower tent that will flip in one week. I am going to give them a defol today, as well as try my hand at lollipoping a few of them. With 17 in my 9x5 tent, it's going to be a VERY tight fit, I am probably overloaded in there, but if you read my last journal you know I just want to get these plant moved through so I can start on new genetics. If you didn't read my last journal, these plants were all survivors of the aforementioned pest problems. I am expecting a high rate of hermie plants again. I expect some seeds again, which is a bummer. I have fought too long and hard for these ladies to throw any of them out.
In the flower tent we have 8 Thunder Scouts(sex still unknown) 1 Bubbalicious (fem) that is pretty far into flower already because she started flowering herself under 18/6. 4 Tangamanga (female from clones from my last journal) 1 Burmese Kush(fem) 1 Strawberry Cough(fem) 1CR+(fem) 1 Church(fem).
For light I am using Mars-Hydro LED's. I currently have two MarsII 1600 in the flower tent and a MarsII1200 in the veg tent. I was just awarded a free light from mars hydro that should be here later this week. Not sure exactly which light they are sending me, but if it will cover the plants I currently have in veg, I will move the 1200 over the the flower tent and we'll have about 2200 watts in the flower tent
In the veg tent we have 1 S.A.G.E.(fem) 1 Mt. Hood Magic(female from clone) 1Blue Dream(female from clone, my BID memorial plant) 1 Electric Dog Shit (female from clone) 2 HarleSin(female from clone) 1 Strawberry Cough(female from clone, likely hermie, went through the wars) 1 Harlequin(female from clone) 1 Burmese kush(female clone from the one in flower. and 3 Thai chili plants.
I will post pictures later today or tonight after the lights come on. The plants look a little rough at the moment. But I believe those to be scars of a much rougher life than they should have had. Hopefully all in the past thanks to my new growing style.
I still have almost too much going on, but with the no-till soil on my team, I should only need to worry about hermie flowers, and watering.
Up till now, I have been using the green avengers Supersoil. It's pretty cool stuff, does a decent job and you need only add water. But at 30 a bag, it's expensive stuff, and every bag I ever got came complete with fungus gnats. I was pretty happy with it though, until I started reading about CC's No-Till Recipe.
I also dabbled in hydro for a grow, got fairly impressive results from an auto flower. But hydro come with a lot of cleaning and water changes, paying for salt water to add to your res. I liked it, and although it's a lot of work, and totally not organic despite what the label on the bottle says, I will probably dabble again down the road.
For now though, I am going to grow top shelf quality, organic as fuck, big honking plants in a perpetual style.
I want to get these girls through flower, and then begin my perpetual schedule. It will take a cycle or two, but eventually the 3 plants I move into flower will have vegged for about 4 months. I want monsters! Hoping to eventually harvest 2-3#'s a month off of three plants. This will allow me enough meds to keep my sister in supply of RSO, as well as have enough for my needs, and a little extra for the homies
I am very excited about this journal. I think this is gonna be a much better grow than the last one
Comments, Questions, and disagreements are encouraged. As long as we treat each other with respect and don't make it personal, I would like to see some disagreements hashed out, while we smoke out with hash
I also encourage jokes, and silliness. I don't believe we need to be 100% on topic at all times. I believe this "hobby" of our is much more than that and it effects every aspect of our lives so chances are it related anyway.
So please join me for what should be a hell of a ride!
