So I was gonna do a thing, but then a weird thing happened, so now I'm gonna do another thing.

I had 5 Durban babies. I culled the one that had leaf issues right out of the egg, and I culled the runt, leaving the other 3.

I played around with programming seeds awhile back if you guys remember, and although I noticed no difference at harvest between programmed and unprogrammed, the recovery rate of the programmers after the 60 days of torture stopped was absolutely incredible. So something was going on.

So the thing I was gonna do was to treat the 3 Durban Babies a little bit bad, but only a bit. Run them hot and dry but not actually harm them, just stress them.

The 4th plant was going to be a Miss Sticky clone that I had really abused. She got transplanted into soil and has received nothing since.

Here are the 3 stressed Durban Babies. Only stressed a bit. One fish water would probably fix them up, but still stressed.

And here is the badly tortured clone that so desperately wants a drink.

And then a thing happened.

I went to feed the worms and when I opened the lid the 2 culled babies were still laying on top. One was covered in soil mites and half decomposed and the other and rooted in and was growing. So I scooped it out in a small blob of ewc and planted it into a solo cup of soil that was sitting on my work station, and watered it.

It had a piece of one leaf blade missing but otherwise was very green and healthy.

So I sit it beside the Durbans in their solo's and it's the nicest one.

It was meant to be I guess.

Durban Poison - Day 16.

So I'm back to 4 Durbans and I uppotted them into 10gals so I can't change my mind, and they are all in the 5 x 5 for the next 4.5 months.

I'll give the clone a small drink and then beat it up some more. 😈

Here is my soil recipe per 20 gallons.

13 gals used soil
4 gal EWC
1 gal The Answer
2 gal perlite
1.5c greensand
2c prilled dolomite
1c prilled gypsum
1c oyster shell flour
3c Powerbloom
1c All Purpose
.25c SRP
.25c high P bat guano

No spikes or layers.

Hopefully just Gaia, fish water, dolo water maybe, and EWC to the end now. 🤞

And maybe a tea before stretch.
Whoa really? How long did the clones sit in compost bin ? You saying It re rooted itself ? Yea bro I think you have to keep that one for sure lmao,also why did you cull clones in first place ? Do you think the fact the worm bin diddnt eat the clones could mean it has a high brix ? Did you treat clones at all w Neem or anything else? Which clone is from the world?

It wasn't clones that I culled, it was a seedling that was born a gimp, and a seedling that was a runt.

The runt re-rooted itself after I pulled it out of it's solo and tossed it into the worm farm. It had quite the little rootball when I scooped it out.

It was laying on it's side in the dark and rooted in.

I wish I had of got pictures before I repotted it, but my phone was upstairs.

It's a really nice green and looks very healthy other than the tip of a leaf blade is missing on one leaf.🥰

Oh ok I see,nice lmao those runtz never stop impressing me lol. Not every runt is a beast in disguise but when they repot themselves what can you do !!! You can't let a plant like that slip by!!! Lol weed is such a cool ass plant fr
 
Lol! some coffee & bakeon & eggs
🤣 I don't eat animal stuff, but some steel cut oats are definitely on the menu✌️. I'm about to pour my 2nd coffee, so now if I smoke some MS I don't have a problem right!?... I mean it's after 4am now too.... Jus sayin'..... Come on, someone enable me!

Bake on not bacon a early session is a canadian way, sorry to pick your brain so early in the am but you & the folks here seem very knowledgeable about soils i have a semi soil question i;m growing in sunshine mix #4 which is straight peat not really considered soil & i'm planning on reusing it & was thinking of using some Gypsum- CaSO4*2H20 & Dolomite to reamend to bring up the PH & mag & cal which was probably used up for this grow, would this be advisable?

Peat moss is notorious for dropping in PH as it ages so yeah you need those calciums to buffer it. Here are my calcium ratios that are rock solid for how I grow. You can add an extra cup of dolomite, but some strains that like gentler soil will rebel.

For 20 gallons of soil

Prilled dolomite - 2 cups (3 cups is better if your strains can handle it)

Prilled gypsum - 1 cup

Oyster shell flour - 1 cup

If you mix the calcium in to the soil 2-4 weeks ahead of the grow, and water the mix a bit so the calcium can start to dissolve in your tubs, it works better than mixing it in at potting time.

I do full reammending, so I mix my calciums in, cook it for 2 weeks, then ammend the rest and cook for another month at least.
 
Thanks Gee what is prilled ? this is what i was planning on using

Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate - Gypsum - CaSO4*2H2O - 5 Pounds &

Young Urban Farmers Dolomite 1kg
sorry the amazon link did not come up & i don't think i'll get the oyster shell in there
