WeedSeedsExpress Godfather OG In LOS Scrogged & Cored

Virgin Ground said:
Run off in LOS will give you skewed readings. Minerals, organics etc. will migrate their way into the lower root zone and out the bottom every time you water. This could make you think your pH is much lower than it actually is. It would be alarming to try to read PPM. You could potentially get a really high number that would put an inexperienced grower into a panic.
Fox farms and other craft soils are the same way.
Soil pH can vary quite a bit between the top and bottom of the pot ,so when a slurry is preformed samples are taken from a few locations within the middle of the root zone. Tested independently they will give you a good idea of your over all soil pH.
So to me it seems like an extra step. One that won't give you a clear picture of what is really happening and has potential to confuse.

Thanks for the explanation VG.
I run a different growing medium and I am always looking to learn. My 5 gallon buckets have holes drilled all around the sides and bottom giving me ample access to my entire root zone. The soil ph monitoring I was doing was in conjunction with moisture content analysis. All this was tied into the rezination process wherein we apply abiotic stress (drought) at or near the end of bloom.

I am way too bizzy with all this, and might have a little more free time if I would stop with the extra work I pile on. I should have gotten a hint when Stone told me his pen was out of cal. LOL
But what would I do with all this free time... :hookah:

fucking 'merica.

Don't miss the free samples I left him. Some day I hope to talk to them about the composter. He did a good by not charging me, and admitting the situation.

You peaked my curiosity enough @stoneotter ... I went ahead and bought a bunch of WSE genetics, including Godfather OG. They have a very impressive list of strains.

They do have a big selection and lots of information about them. I like that. Allrighty then! Are you dropping any of them?

Hey there BabyTrees, c'mon in, the water's fine!

What use do llama have in Ag. We don't eat them do we? Are they used for hair or oil or animal feed?

Craving llama filet tonight.

These folks are into yarns I think. They breed and sell them too. I bet it tastes like goat. Yum.

Ahoy Stone,
You know I am going to ask. Did you put your freshly calibrated ph pen... LOL, but Otter my bro, stay away from the zoo. Don't want a video of you getting caught jumping in the Gorilla cage to gather some fresh dung for your Gorilla Glue. :love:

No monkey poo huh? But I hear a diverse micro culture is the best. I'd just pass him the bone and we'd get along fine. Hehe. No, I dropped that ph ball for now. I'm watching for a while to make sure I know what I see. Some are perfect looking and maybe all new growth is coming in right now so I'm on watch for now I think. Let's see in a few days at water time.

Mornin Stone :love:

I thought checking pH runoff was pointless in mineralized soils?? Why we do slurry tests.

Just starting my coffee here. Hope you have a sweet mornin. :love::love::love:

All this soil troubleshooting is new to me. Thanks for the insight to study on. Good afternoon, you got it!

Will be dropping em as soon as they arrive! Very excited.

No harm. I love to hear about abnormal ag stuff.

Cross between goat, sea turtle and emu.

Nailed it... lol I actually bought some Llama poop off Ebay a month or so ago. Thought I was getting the dried berries that I could drop in a bucket of water but nooooo was fresh like yesterday pooped fresh. Almost barfed when I opened the box.
I'm letting it "age" a little bit then do some tea and top dress. Its good stuff!

Not sure why I bought some we have composted horse manure free local. I can just go pick it up and add it to the compost heap.

I've read there's no need to compost it. It seems wrong but if true very right. I got lucky having it all done and smelling like a daisy, plus the wigglers. Just dressed my tomatoes with it and the 2 godfather OG's got some in their soil mix. Getting diverse microbe herds hopefully.
 
UPDATE

Woop! Woop! Good day all! Summer's on! It's 85f 55rh out and I'm in hog heaven! This is my weather. Anyway, these Godfathers OG are filling in with a nice green tone now and growing like they mean it! They liked the new soil adds of llama poo, and epsom salts. No deficiencies I can see so far! They look beautiful to their poppa. Here they are today.

I washed the 3 x 3 tent with bleach and water and hung the new @NextLight Core. I'm ready to see how this beauty lights the place up! It gives crazy light PAR amounts for its power usage. At 185 watts I read almost 1000 PAR 8 inches from it. My knowledge of light is weak but I can say this light is not! In a week or so when they get up potted they are going to love this place! I fitted the scrog nets and it's a go with them so hold on, they've begun to blast and it won't be long before the net's full of juicy bud. Tic tic tic tic!

Being ul listed is something special. Few lights are that I've seen. This baby has been thoroughly safety checked by what was a very reputable outfit to ensure the home is protected. I have a special place in my heart for a company that goes through this process. I use the term "was reputable" only because as far as I can see all safety regulations have been lowered here. It's still the Gold Standard in my house. Family safety above all. Thanks @NextLight and everyone!

Hi VG,
I am interested in your question knowing Stone is running a living organic soil. Are you saying runoff ph is pointless when the medium is LOS?
Wondering how it works.

In living soil....the herd will adjust the soil pH naturally as needed. It will shift points over the course of a day sometimes without us adding anything to it. So to a degree....it is kinda pointless if living organic soil. Whats it gonna tell you when you measure in the AM one day and its 6.6 and in the PM its 7.1 and you didn't do anything? I have seen swings go from low 6s to high 7s in a day or two.

That doesn't mean you can't use it when you are dealing with an unhealthy plants.....troubleshoot so to speak but again, I don't think its necessary. If your soil is good, and your heard is healthy, there shouldn't be any issues. Most issues in soil are bad soil or the herd isn't tied into the roots properly. A good aerated compost tea will generally fix most issues in soil....if that doesn't work, you likely have a soil issue.

Yay! Summer! Godfathers looking good too :D

It's proper summer here too now! It went straight from from grey, rainy and chilly to almost a heat wave a couple of weeks ago. Last week flowers were planted and I put tomatoes and chillis in the greenhouse. Unfortunately the outdoor growing season is very short. The tomatoes will probably be done, but I fully expect to have to take the chillis inside before they give any fruit to speak of - that's more or less standard procedure, including the roe-deer eating all my leaf cabbage that I plan to enjoy through the winter...
 
That lights a beast StoneOtter! ... I’m 100% with you on the UL/ETC certified lights... I have a family I need to protect, and they sure as hell aren’t losing the home over their heads due to some bunk light shitting out and starting and electrical fire so I can save a couple hundred bucks. Family is more valuable then gold, speaking of which hope you all had a nice Father’s Day! :)

Agree! Yes Happy belated fathers day to you! We had the kids over for a meal and drinks, All 6 feet apart. I miss hugging them but it was nice to see them!
 
UPDATE

Hi didely doolity! Happy Monday I'm almost sure. Where do the days go. So I have them in their new tent and light rig. Gave them a watering with recharge and Lactic acid bacillus this morning. It was 6 days from last water.

G'mornin Stone. :passitleft: Those are some beautiful, fat, awesomely green plants! I'm a coco indoor and greenhouse soil guy as you know, but I'm in the desert. LOS. Does it require composting? Is it complicated? I hope you and yours are healthy and happy.
