My Favorite Monocot

Well In a few weeks you'll have to let me know. She finished with a super citrus-y smell, but I couldn't name it until chop. The wife says it smells like licorice though lol. Yuck and no it doesnt.

 

Great, can't wait bro. The odor didn't become definite until I chopped, it was a very dynamic range .. alot like the GB

 

Yea grandma's look to be early week 3 of flower, I'm guessing last week of September her GB will be ready, who knows on her Sativa jungle tho lol. Honestly as far as the gib flower time goes, I've been watching her close the last 15 days (mid week 9 right now) and very little has happened since 8 weeks. Gib could go 11 I'd say but it's a cycle. By 8 full weeks she had 75% Brown hairs. Now at week nine she's foxtail ing and threw out a ton of fresh white pistils. You can chase that all day. And your def has more trich than mine, I think your light is just better for trich productions more blues tend to produce a Frontier plant in my experience and my hps is pretty yellow but your like a full natural daylight. Could be a pheno thing thin your tops definitely got alot fatter where mine are longer and more slender. I see alot of the favorable blueberry quality in the buzz for sure. No munch and no paranoia either so that is a huge score in my book. Can we say daytime smoke!

 

Don't forget the kelp I've never seen such amazing secondary branches as the ones those kelp hormones stimulate. No joke man find ya some kelp and top dress a tablespoon every week you won't regret it.
And good timing, I'll be soaking my beans come Sunday evening let's do this! Excited to see this headband and if this next ultra sour can compete with the last one!

 

I think as long as your doing at least a tea your getting the beneficial aspect. I add it to the top for worm food more than anything.
I'm stoked to see the organic transformation!

 

Everybody came down today and my snips were not enough to do the deed. My serrated knife was not capable of sawing thru the stem. I actually had to go get a small hand saw for pruning to finish the job lol. Stems the size of 50 cent pieces and the roots actually filled out the whole 20g container I was quite impressed! Did not grab any pics because I was pretty busy cleaning up my Mess but these girls were heavy! They're hanging now and I'll update in about a week with final numbers. Happy Tuesday!

 

Are your worms thriving by feeding them actual food stuff? I got a bad "beneficial mite" infestation that killed off all my worms and I've changed my approach to the bin.
The compost I made this summer will be fed thru the worm bin and that is where I will be getting my bin inputs now. Next year the bins will have castings for me made from compost and I start a new pile. A mixture of castings and compost will become my humus component. Im gonna be doing something like no-till but I will be adding compost and VC back into the mix with each cycle rather than depending on the top dresses to break down and fully supply the soil.

 

That's awesome man! And seriously, That's an ass load of worms bro holy crap. Glad you got your game on point, although I like the set it in a corner simplicity of my totes, that flow thru system you have is pretty badass!
As part of my retooling for the worm bin, I think I'm gonna reuse my old 7 gal smarties and fill them with compost and set the worms at it in them. Then set the smart pot into the tote. Everything has to be compartmentalized for me lol. I think that will allow greater airflow and drainage for the worms and that way I don't have just open pots sitting around either, can't wait to try it out

 

I actually exactly used composted horse poo. I got 2 totes of it from a coworker and most went into by compost pile but I mixed a fair amount in with my "bedding" (another thing I'm not doing anymore) and started adding my veggie scraps. Cucumber peels gave me some nasty mites as far another doings i can tell. I even washed em!
My compost base is shredded oak and ash leaves. To get that initial burn I save my first few mowings from the yard and hydrate a bag of alfalfa pellets. I layer the leaves grass and alfalfa. It stayed hot for about 2 weeks in the spring I turned it and it heated again. Then I added the manure. Throughout the summer we have been dumping veggie scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and water hyacinth (a dynamic accumulator ) from the koi pond into the pile. As fall sets in I'm gonna get one more bag of alfalfa and layer again to let everything get nice and hot then that pile will partially become worm food and the rest will age for next year's run. The leaves that fall this autumn will again be the base for my pile next year. I do amend the pile when I first fire it up with kelp, azomite, and espoma garden tone to add some microbial life.
Long story short, lol, this stuff is becoming pretty fascinating to me man, I love how organics works all this stuff into one total package that just damn works so Good. It's like the master plan!
