Vancouver Island 2022 Organic Grow

[Danishoes21]

Not stoked with the weather today, crazy winds since yesterday, hasn’t stop. Most plants that aren’t ready for this wind snap. Lost a couple of sunflowers but the cannabis is standing strong

This morning I just foliar feed willow and horsetail/comfrey, it’s smells pretty dank but the plants love this. Training is starting to show.

A good 10 tops, well developed and strong, should be fun to see this one bull up the main tops. Have done some node-ing which is pinching out the lower nodes and leaving the fan leaves so they can send the energy to the next available node.

This other Auto is doing her thing, seems like she started the stretch and could be preparing for flower, next week will tell. She has her own color, not thinking it’s an issue. I haven’t open the reservoir I could do that this coming weekend. I haven’t watered roots just foliar feed. She is picking up the pace, not liking the training so I let her go.

And the Durban and Personal Sat, going on with the program.

Hope the weather gets better soon Dani we had a huge storm after a really hot day now it’s chilled a little bit. I may be crazy saying this but I miss the extreme heat lol makes getting home that much better

Looking awesome bro and I hope you now have an endless supply of sheep manure? CL

Nice on the eyes Dan! They're happy ladys!

Endless!! LoL

These phenos here had a couple days rest now back to training again and foliar with Willow and horsetail/comfrey right after the bending and snapping. I nuked them with foliar sprayer, I go under the leaf, direct in the stem, and a 3 inch space around the base.
I also took a couple fan leaves blocking the way. Photos are pre training.

PERSONAL SATIVA PSF1XFM

PINK KUSH

SUPER LEMON HAZE

DUTERTES NIGHTMARE

DURBAN DPXFM

No mayor stress besides the one I give them, the environment here seems to be working pretty well. Nothing like the other phenos in the pots. I really like plants in the ground vs in pots outdoors, now that’s just my preference on the practical side pots are more versatile.

Seen a trace of ants also some small insects but nothing crazy.

Nice on the eyes Dan! They're happy ladys!

It’s nice to see them happy, hope you had a great weekend.

Morning gig at the garden;

If you compare photos from yesterday and now today, evidence shows that these plants move fast and readapt very quick;

This morning this Auto is all upward like nothing happened, I went in bent again and watered to finish with foliar.

This is the lowest node branch, it’s almost it’s own plant, I managed to make several of these types of branches.

The 3 bottom branches are very thick and strong and have started to stack up bud sites.

This one here is the “main top”

This plant is flowering and I continue to foliar feed teas.

The last two Durban and Personal Sat.

Looks great.

Looks great.

Thanks bro

Trying to keep them happy that’s my jam. Seen your plants early the clone took off pretty good.

The clone just got her final up pot she is in her forever home now.

The clone just got her final up pot she is in her forever home now.

Nice bro, she will explode next couple weeks. Takes them a few days for the tap root to hit bottom after that it’s all growth non stop.

She should be interesting as it was topped or something because it has two main stems it's the way they cut it as a clone, two colas is always cool.

Morning walk thru and garden update;

Moving along nicely, not much negative to report. Despite the drought like conditions we have been on it and all of our garden work is still green and alive, disease free.

I wanted to start with these 2, still alive and well. Sheltered for days inside the green house.

Been on the subject of anaerobic teas; how to make them, how to use them and how to not get sick

This is my humble setup, I have been doing this same way for 5 years results are there to be seen.

These two are my main perpetual fermented anaerobic teas. The big black container has a variety of weeds. I started the season with only seaweed on this container and rain water; as the season progresses and the good weeds pop naturally I start adding fresh organic material (nettle, comfrey, dandelion, horsetail, grass cutting… later on I will add ferns and yarrow).

The small container is fish rotting for my first fish liquid fertilizer (I don’t touch this one at all, leave it 3 months to rot)

Yesterday I added a 2 lbs load of fresh horsetail, this te and it’s bacteria will eat anything you throw in there in weeks. So as you can see slim to none air/oxygen is going inside the container. Only the surface will oxidate and rot, everything under the water line is light and oxygen depraved, making it anaerobic ferment. I seldomly move the content because it’s smell pretty dank, I don’t need to move it bacteria is going to eat it all up, I just collect the liquid which then is passed to a bigger container.

This is my mother tea at the moment, here I add the organic sprouted barley syrup (sugar to feed microbes). This is also depraved from oxygen in a lesser degree, bubbles are a sign of fermentation. This is what I use for root watering. I also use this liquid to start my other teas, more refined Willow and Horsetail/comfrey or other tea I want to foliar spray…

I use these container for the foliar application liquid prep. I will have these going all along the grow season. These two I use on doses because they are high concentration and take longer to make, also used for a specific result; enhanced immune system of the plants. It’s not a fertilizer like the other one. Two different results.

Today I am going to drain the big container and pass it to the final mother tea, add the barley syrup and restart a new green manure tea this week I will harvest fresh seaweed. If I ever want to remove the organic matter, I shovel it out and put it in my soil mix, as you can see on my layered soil mixes.

You got it going. Like a scientist. I should try making some tea for my plants. Oh Yea I am lazy. But I do have a couple empty containers.

You got it going. Like a scientist. I should try making some tea for my plants. Oh Yea I am lazy. But I do have a couple empty containers.

It’s as simple as get a big enough jar with a hermetic sealed lid, put the organic matter inside and water (forget rain water if there is none). Add a spoon of sugar, molasses or syrup and a spoon of worm casting. Seal the container and let it ferment far away from anyone so they don’t touch it. 2-3 weeks use that to foliar or root drench. Keep in mind you use bottle fertilizer and that could throw off your feeding schedule and possibly cause slight nut burn.

I encourage you to give it a try. Azimuth does lots and lots of teas, in a controlled environment. Just saying it can be done on a small or huge scale.

Now the phenos;

The flowering Auto is at it, I have slowed down on the pounding high stress training, it comes in waves. When I see her creeping to high I let her know who is boss. She got water and foliar. Nearly touched her and she smells like fresh compost lol

Evidence of high stress training an Auto flowering cultivar. I have removed at least a dozen suspected pollen sacks right at the 4-5th nodes on only a few branches. If I don’t see a pistil coming out it’s a pollen sack. Now I understand what happened here and how my friend got seeds. For me she ain’t a hermie not enough evidence but she ain’t the most prominent genetics either. If I wished too propagate some autos I could use pollen from her to pollinate the other auto flow.

This Auto has ups and downs; that’s part of it, experimental methods rarely have a perfect result. I checked the reservoir all roots were air pruned, didn’t see one coming out. I added new tea to the reservoir now at 3/4 reservoir capacity so lots more liquid mass to evaporate let’s see what happens.
She has stopped the curly leaves so that a great sign, Color remains somewhat pale but decent. I did give her a main stem bend again to see what’s the reaction. Foliar spray right after the training.

Last but not least Durban and PS got a main stem bent as well, the fibre on the Sativa stems is not the same. It’s woody and dense, hard to pinch and bend. It’s not hollow like the indica hybrids.

 

[Danishoes21]

This morning I took the time to assess all the phenos; outside they are looking great, healthy and vigorously growing. Not much to report here besides watering and foliar feed, no training.

Phenos in photo order:

PSf1xFM
Pink kush
Super lemon haze
Duterte’s nightmare
DurbanxFM

I wish to have the pheno and geno trait of this Duterte cultivar, it has such great side branching and the growth is beating the rest of the phenos. Wow this pheno is awesome just not stoked on the flowering time I’ve seen last season.

 

[Fudo Myoo]

Got some work done this afternoon; sliced opened and crumbled all the substrate with wine cap mycelium, spread on the tomato beds, brassica beds, the two 10 gal pot for the 2 phenos I just up potted today with a rather interesting layering; also went with the phenos outdoors top dressing with mycelium and a fresh batch of compost soil, made the mounds bigger and covered with hay for moisture retention, we are on semi drought weather conditions no forecast rain, nothing…
This is the outdoors bunch

Powerful living soil mix with mycelium for top dressing

This is the 9pm light on the plants, they also showing a glow to them, days after the Willow non diluted foliar feed. They all got watered with tea.

Looking like the epitome of health.
