The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

Someone mentioned that if myco is established in your small pot, and then you uppot, why would you need a myco drench to get it to link to the new pot?

Well usually on an uppot you are going to a much more active soil. The microbes in the soil will eat the myco if things don't get established properly. So the myco in the small pot may not enter the new hotter soil, so you mix myco and water as per the instructions and drench the entire new pot.

Otherwise at harvest you may see that the plant didn't really enter the new soil and you can literally pull the old small rootball right out of the bigger pot.

So if you uppot and 1 plant just isn't growing like the rest, this is a likely reason.

Ok, thanks. Easy enough to set the bucket in the corner for 6 weeks before dumping. Really doesn't change much of anything for me except for when the dumping occurs.

No, not if you don't use any of that soil again until it's cooked. I got a fetish for used soil so I go this route. May as well carry a good thing through instead of starting from square 1 over and over. Innoculate them babies.

I do reuse my old soil as 30% of my mix (as of now anyway), but I haven't been adding anything to it and then cooking it.

Instead this round I'm adding my comfrey crumble as a regular weekly topdressing to see how that works, although I did add some powdered eggshells to the storage bin so I imagine that's doing some cooking. 🤔

Then your myco game will greatly improve by letting the rootballs sit. You want myco to go dormant uninterrupted. Let it spore out, don't rip it to shreds and kill it. It will properly put your microbes to bed.

Sweet! you have a free notch up in your future😊.

It's easy to check. Take some fresh used soil, water it to damp, and put it in a vented dark container. At least a couple gallons.

Take some from a dormant rootball and do the same. Break the dormant one up and mix it 1st.

Then after 4-6 days check on them and see which has more myco on the surface.

I find myco is far more abundant in the dormant soil. It gets really fuzzy on the surface. The fresh used soil does too, but not to the same degree.

Size is coming in fast now, but I haven't had to tie any colas up yet. The extra calcium must have strengthened them. The few tied tops in there are to pull the colas into a better position, not hold them up. Usually at this size I have a few floppy ones😊.

You can see the stress in a bunch of the leaves.

There isn't much of this, its mostly on the tall plant, but it's on 3 of them. I think its potassium with a touch of phosphorus issues. Typical in a 1st run. 10-17 days and finish will be upon them. (cue Jaws music as they are being chased by a great white deficiency shark). I think they can make it.

RVDV. She's way prettier than the cheapo led strips show her to be. They all are, for that matter.

Lil LC. So petite🥰. I got a thing for her❤️.

And Wild Child, err, Lady. She's that Tall Cool Woman in a Black Dress.

Unbelievable! Her sativa genetics are off the chart.

@Lerugged, is this typical of her, or did I get a lucky pheno here?

I don't know if I will be able to flower her in the tent. Shes over twice the size of Ikky now, and accelerating. She still doesn't even look like she is trying.

She's a lighter colored pheno, and with my regular Durban strain the lighter pheno is a lazy eater with whispier buds but a super trippy energetic high with absolutely no stone. The perfect Wake 'n Baker. I hope WildChild is similar.

Yeah that's exactly what she is like. All manky looking in the begining. Much lighter than any of the others. I can't get her dark green. So a lime green pheno. Cooler Temps in flower will chunk up those whispy buds. The high is crystal clear. No stone whatsoever. It also happens to be very aphrodisiac for the ladies. Just saying.
I think Otters quad type training would do best.
If you can keep her going until spring. Like build a packed frame indoor and flower her spring through summer.
Later flowerer so, she should finish in 10 to 12 weeks. If your daylight hours allow thats the way I would do her. She will outgrow Iklwa easily. Like wildly.
Cheers

I think I will try an 8 top manifold like these. I have to fit all 4 in a 5 x 5 tent for flower. It controls height pretty good but she may still be a challenge🤣.

I'm going to veg her for at least 8 weeks, longer if needed, and she can flower for as long as she wants.

Is she floppy, or does she hold herself up pretty good?
 
Lerugged said:
If you are topping and docking branches, they are usually thicker and stronger. Grown naturally, she is a floppy one inside. Outside in massive pots she is pretty self supporting.

Ok good to know. Thanks for all the tips @Lerugged.

One more question: LC-18, is she always miniature, or is this one just a really small pheno?

She's gorgeous and healthy, just the smallest sproutling I've ever seen.
 
Doing well.

Actually, I read your other post as one last question. Now that I reread it, my response makes no sense. :confused:

"A swing and a miss" as they say in baseball circles. but you know I'll keep trying...

Next batter!

Yeah, another thing I don't use. I did drink a little coffee in college but decided I didn't want to be dependent on finding some to start my day.

I just read your post too quickly. I'll try to do better next time. :rolleyes:

In other news, I posted in my cloning thread that I had success rooting the flowering cuts. Well, looks like 3/5 as two drooped and were culled. But, I'm pretty stoked at how consistently easiy and effective that approach is.

Did you ever get your coarse builders sand to give it go?

Not yet. When the SA girls get bigger I will cut some clones. I will definitely try it. Likely with the small side branches.
