What's up GC! Been hangin around here a little while, 8 months or so. Learned myself of some organics here, and now have all my plants in living organic soil. Thanks for checking out my garden. Started growing last August, 2 runs in FF, now got my 3rd set if ladies in flower. It's been a ride, and not so smooth. Lol. I think I slowed all my current plants down by keeping the soil a bit too moist. I chilled way back on water, things dried out pretty good last week and I gave em a good water Sunday night. I think things have picked up... My first clones...ahhhh. Master kush Zazen. Probably let this one dry out a little too much last week. I put this and the hemlock right in the 10 gal after breaking ground. I think I'm gonna go to a 1 gal or so till they get past this funky stage from now on. Hemlock. Same age as zazen. Cascadian frost. Chemical nightmare clone Bagseed. Kush in 5 gal Kush in 10 gal Having trouble attaching the last couple pics, I'll put them in a new post.
First!! Hey GtG(2) lol Lot of happy-lookin plants in there! Great selection of strains, too! What's your lighting situation? Is that living soil from BaS?
Yo, GtG(1) ha ha, thanks for checkin out my spot! My soil is a mix I originally made back in November. I will post up my mix here in a minute, probably should have done that in the beginning. I started to get worried that I made some bad decisions, and was planning on getting some vermicompost and ewc from a semi local worm farm I found to add to and try and adjust my soil. This is all before I planted into it, lol. Found BaS and ended up picking up the same amount of their soil and mixed the 2 together. So half BAS, half my own. I am vegging in a 4x4 secret jardin with a 8 bulb 4' t5. Flowering outside the tent in the same room with a 600w. I have another 600w that isn't being used. Might use it to veg, haven't decided. These plants in flower have not fulfilled the potential that I was hoping. 2 plants in my last run were in the same 10 gal pots and were huge. I planted the the kush seed that's in the 5 gal now back in December. I got the master kush clone in December as well. I was wetting the top of the soil a couple times a day as it dried, but not really letting the pot dry out. The plants never really looked overwatered, but would not fill out the pots. Weird. Hoping things start going now that I have backed off on that constant water. Some good growth in the smaller plants. That hemlock is about where I would expect at 3 weeks, so I think that's a good sign. Thanks again bro!
Here is the soil mix I made: 33% each of coco coir lava/pumice/perlite EWC/Compost 3 cups per cu ft total of Kelp alfalfa neem crab tomato tone sul-po-mag 4 cups per cu ft of Glacial rock dust 1 cup per cu ft of Dolomite lime BaS mix: 35% Sphagnum Peat Moss 20% Small Lava Rock 17% Pure Worm Castings 23% Aged Compost 5% Native Topsoil 1/2 cup per cu ft of Kelp Crustacean meal neem 4 cups per cu ft of gypsum dust (2 parts) oyster flower (1 part) glacial rock dust (1 part) There is my soil mix.
A couple little bud shots from one kush. This girl is 22 days into flower. Trichomes are all over the place and it's already smelling like fruity pebbles or something! Sorry if my pics suck. Lol
What up GC!! A little update...so I have been growing down in the basement of my old ass house. Been having mold issues down there the entire time. It's finally warmed up, and I decided to move everything out to the garage. Out if the house completely. Hoping for the best here. Let the girls get a bit of sun before moving them. This is their temporary new home. Had to go back into a tent for now. If all goes well, I plan to build a veg and flower are that's insulated so I can continue during the winter time. This also gives me the ability to utilize the sun as well!
Everything is looking good!! Which soil mix do you like the most or is that the recipe for just one soil?
Yeah, I was thinking that coco mix by itself would be really solid, but by the looks of your plants..it's not a bad thing they are mixed!
It don't think it's been a bad thing. I have been experiencing some slow growth, but not sure what to blame that on. Me most likely.
