topdressing..
 
do you guys move the mulch out of the way, topdress and then put it back?
 
that's what i've been doing.. seems like a hassle, but i guess it makes the most  sense?
 
outside w/ the veggies i just topdress on top of the mulch.. but that gets rained on a lot.

 

 
yeah figure it's just easier to get it into that top bit of the soil too.. water it in and cover back w/ the dry mulch. Probably won't need water for a week after that
 
i need to topdress my veggies again... last time i did kelp, epsoma plant tone and some chicken manure pellets. I can't really see any of it on top anymore, so i guess it's time to do it again while everything is fruiting.
 
that nasty comfrey tea is just about done, still a little stinky but nowhere near bad as it was, i'm stoked to start using that too..

 

 
i believe it's the top few inches of soil that's not supposed to be messed with. But the same smart folks that tell me that, also tell me to topdress into those few inches..
 
so.. i always put down the topdressing and mix some of into that first couple inches of soil.. water and then replace the mulch.
 
could be the wrong way to do it man.. but that's what i've done so far.

 

 
didn't watch last nights yet..
 
is it any better? tonight is my last night if not LOL..
 
watched Ray Donavon last night, that fucking show is awesome!

 
do you mix it into the soil at all, or just throw it on top?

 

 
yeah Ray d. is killer.. it' son showtime i think. very good show..
haven't seen that other one, but seen the previews and it looks funny as hell..
 

 
another 10 says he ignores the post LOL.. he's too easy.
 

 
 
mornin' man.. that makes good sense. I like this shredded straw that i've been using, it seems to break down pretty quick, but i like the idea of the vermi and green stuff to help that along.
 
thanks for the tips man
 
 
soo..
 
i'm down to like 4 plants in there lol..
 
all of those 4SD's hermied.. not bothering messing with pulling the balls off since i'll be making seeds and don't want hermie pollen in there confusing things.. so they all got ripped up.
 
time to start some seeds..
 
now i'm wondering where those 4SD seds came from.. they were in a baggie marked 4SD (not from the breeder) and they all turned out "female" musta came from a hermie plant or something..
 
gonna take clones from that 4SD mom.. if that fails then I have some breeder seeds of chem D x sour d which i'll run.. i can't live without having a chem x sour strain in my garden..
 
not so bummed about the hermie thing.. more bummed that these 4 plants could be in 20 gal pots..

 

 
yeah for sure.. just glad i decided to check for them this early on. I kinda had a feeling when all 5 were females.
 
but i'm not in the weed business, so i won't run out of pot to smoke.. and have many a seed to run, so all good
 
need to get a batch of soil made asap though.
 
gonna do another light leak check in there.. but i think i'm ok in that dept.

 

 
the seeds were probably 4 years old.. marked by hand in a plastic baggie. I'm really thinking that they came off of a hernmie plant to begin with.. (i honestly can't remember where i got those seeds from, but they weren't breeder seeds)
yeah i think most hermies are caused by stress (especially light leaks) some strains more sensitive than others. (it can also be a genetic thing as well)
 
the chemdog/sour diesel family is very light sensitive.. if you smile at them at night they'll grow balls.

 

@[member="jerry111165"] yeah man.. kind of thinking of cutting a hole in the smartpot and placing the whole thing on top of a larger one.. I have some 15's and 25's downstairs that i can use.
The GFBA sems happy in the 15 so i won't mess w/ her, but the others in the 7's can use a new home for sure.
 
i wanna say they're about 2 weeks into 12/12 now, just finishing up the stretch..
 
and yes.. that's the plan, gonna mix the vermi right into the mulch. I really like that idea a lot! thanks!
