2023 came shuffling in, swinging a cane and looking for shit to get into, so
It's time to get my hands dirty again.
I'm on some wild shit this time, so I hope everyone can keep up without getting spun-out with all the run-around.
Recently I have been growing in my own Al Tapla style "gritty mix", mostly rocks and pine bark with some organics and amendments to keep it funky. It grows some nice thick roots and some damn fine herbs with no chance of a standing water-table, so I can water it like crazy without worrying about rotting my roots. This is what my current girls are growing in... but there are changes coming to the Rhino room! We about to get A SIP up in this biiiiiitch!
The next main grow will be in a 27gal Tote-SIP with a drain tile reservoir. I built that joker and filled it with a mix of FFOF, bone meal, Epsom salt, bat shit, bio-live, perlite, vermiculite, azomite, dolomite, and worm castings. Should be the bomb!
But back to my current ladies... they are pissed at me.
They were mother plants, then I had a tragic life event and stopped paying attention to them in the dead of winter...and they died.
They were just sticks with a couple leaves when i came back to reality, but I pulled out my hairy man-tit and nursed em back to life.
Then I left them broads and went on vacation for a week.
Now they're alive and well, but suffering from mag deficiency (from 10% humidity and no water for a week I'm guessing? ) and they're furious at my behavior.
Did I mention that I left them outside for a week and they flipped to flower, and then I brought them back inside and forced them back into veg??? Made em grow weird for a long time, with single fuzzy blades and such, but now they're back to normal.
I also acquired some colloidal silver... I'm going to cross these heffers! One grows buds that are 18inches tall and 3 inches wide, the other grows the most delicious flavor of orangey-skunk bud I've ever tasted... together I should find a pheno that grows foot-tall buds that taste like orange skunk right? Let's Fuck around and find out!
For the SIP I'm making some of that Korean Natural Farming brew that the LOS growers be squawking about - lactobacillus, Bokashi, IMO-4, fermented fruit, the egg shells in vinegar, the fish emulsion - the whole jablonski. Gonna grow a live mulch of white clover on my plastic pasture, throw in some worms and feed it all vegan, see what it do. Maybe I'll grow that Weed Supreme with extra fire sauce! Hahaha
I also built a bubble cloner, (from the instructional @Emilya Green was kind enough to post) to step up my weak ass clone-game.
TLDR; I got 2 monster cropped plants in the box that look like shit cause they were half dead. Gonna flower em out and cross breed em.
Built a bubble cloner and a SIP for the next grow and it'll be in my version of LOS and fed with KNF inputs.
