    My 100% Organic Soil Mix
    Each 15 gallon batch of reclaimed, recycled, Fox Farms Ocean Forest Base soil I reconditioned w/
    _________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________
    ___________________________________________________________________
    • 3+ Gallon( roughly 53 cups) Perlite(other- inert aeration amendment)
    • 17 tsp Rooters Mycorrhizae spores(other - soil inoculation).
      <ul class="bbc"><li>These don't germinate without roots, but will be there and germinate as the roots fill the container.
    </li></ul>The soil mix that I used for those 3 plants originally was:
    • -1.5 cubic feet(roughy 11 Gallons) Fox Farm Ocean Forest
    • -2 Gallons(roughly 30 cups) Perlite
    • -3 tbsp Hi-Cal lime
    • -1 ½ Gallon(24 cups) Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings
    • - ¾ cup Espoma Tomato Tone 3-4-6
    • -1 ½ cups Algamin Kelp Meal 1-0-2
    • - ¾ cup Espoma Greensand 0-0-0.1
    • -7.5 cups Glacial Rock Dust

    Aerated Compost Tea Recipes I Use
    *30-48hr for nutrient cycling brew
    Long Brew Balanced ACT:
    Kelp Meal @0.25% = Almost 2tsp per gallon
    *Brew for longer than 24hrs with kelp, as kelp delay bacteria multiplication initially sometimes
    Fish Hydrolysate @0.063% = Almost ½tsp per gallon
    Hi-P Bat Guano @0.063% = Almost ½tsp per gallon
    Compost/Vermicompost/EWC @2.38%(max) = A bit over â…“cup per gallon.
    Molasses(Blackstrap or Unsulphured)@0.25% = Almost 2tsp per gallon
    *When using more than just these amendments^^^, it's fine to adjust the amount to avoid overkill
    Alfalfa Meal @0.25% = Almost 2tsp per gallon
    *Good fungal food and good for the long brew which is nutrient cycling

    Short Brew Balanced ACT:
    *18-24hr brew for “bennie” brew
    Fish Hydrolysate @0.063% = Almost ½tsp per gallon
    Hi-P Bat Guano @0.063% = Almost ½tsp per gallon
    Compost/Vermicompost/EWC @2.38%(max) = A bit over â…“cup per gallon.
    Molasses(Blackstrap or Unsulphured)@0.125% = Almost 1tsp per gallon
    *When using more than just these amendments^^^, it's fine to adjust the amount to avoid overkill
    Alfalfa Meal @0.25% = Almost 2tsp per gallon
    *Good fungal food and good for the long brew which is nutrient cycling

    Fungal Dominant(Flower ACT)
    *18hr brew
    *Ok to use after 10hrs for fungal dominant brew
    Kelp Meal @0.25% = Almost 2tsp per gallon
    *Brew for longer than 24hrs with kelp, as kelp delay bacteria multiplication initially sometimes. Don't use more kelp. Use less if using soluble kelp
    Fish Hydrolysate @0.19% = A little over 1tbsp per gallon
    *Ok to try slightly higher amounts
    Hi-P Bat Guano @0.063% = Almost ½tsp per gallon
    Compost/Vermicompost @2.38%(max) = A bit over â…“cup per gallon.
    Molasses(Blackstrap or Unsulphured) @ 0.5% = A bit over 1tbsp per gallon
    *When using more than just these amendments^, it's fine to adjust the amount to avoid overkill
    *Notes
    *Fungal compost: Powder oatmeal 1:20 with compost, kept damp and covered for 8-10days
    *Fungal compost: Use ¼cup per gallon of fish hydroysate to dampen compost with, then cover for 5 days
    *The recipes above I have obtained from Microbe Organics.
    ______________________________________________________________________

    Foliar Spraying Recipes I Use :

    Aloe Vera Foliar Spray = ¼ cup of fresh aloe fillet per gallon of water.
    *use immediately after making solution or add vitamins C & E in capsule form to preserve it.
    Cal/Mg Foliar Spray = 1 tbsp of Epsom Salt per gallon of water.
    *dissolve 1st in hot water than add it the a gallon of water
    Diatomaceous Earth Foliar = 1tbsp Diatomaceous Earth per gallon of water
    *for sort of like a “protekt” effect
    Worm Tea Foliar = ½ tsp Neptune Harvest, 1 tsp UnSulphured Molasses, ⅓ cup EWCs
    *for some right away N
    Coconut Water Foliar = 1cup per gallon of water
    *good for the cytokins
    Aspirin Water Foliar = 3x81mg tablets per gallon of water
    *salicylic acid spray.

    Day23 Veg.
    43Days From Seed.
     
     
    The plants have all been topped just above the 2nd/3rd true nodes, and have been super cropped for the past two weeks.
    I plan on super cropping the plants up until the 14th day of 12/12, and plant to veg them for at least 3/4 more weeks.
    Everything in the tent is female as of now, except for the Bay 11 and the GDP, which haven't shown sex yet.
    Based on the plant structure I feel as if the Bay 11 will be a guy(long internodes, fast growing), and the GDP will be a female(looks like a female).
     
  3. Plants And plan of action look good buddy.
     
    GK
     
  4. Looks like you've got your shit together. Subbed.

    Day27 Veg.
    47Days From Seed.

    Just gave the girls a diatomaceous earth foliar about an hour of so before taking this pic.
    Also went in and cleaned up the bases off all the stems and topdressed them with 1tbsp kelp meal and maybe 2 cups worm castings.
    After I top dressed i moistened that top layer with the DE spray.
    But ALL plants will be growing between 4/8 equally dominant colas, so there will be no popcorn bud!

    Also, I found some pre-flowers on my GDP and they we're female, so looks like I'll be getting my first taste of the real deal GDP.
    Still waiting on my Bay 11 to show sex. It's the only one left that I don't know the sex of!
     
    *edit-also started a nute cycling tea to be brew for 36hrs and then applied as a foliar.

    Featuring my DNA Genetics LA Chocolat

    At this point she smells like a cannabis of course, but has no distinct aroma.
    She's primed and ready to grow 6 equally dominant tops and has responded very well to being topped once, and continuously super cropped.
    The canopy on her is nice and even so I doubt I'll be doing anymore super cropping.
    But I'll update w/ the plants individually now, as they're all big enough to showcase that way.

    Bless
     
     
  7. I'm subbed, but can't see the photos...
     
  8. With the DE foliar do you rinse that off or leave it? I feel stupid asking because I believe you would leave it since its a barrier against pests but I just want to be sure.
