Week4Bytch ... What's He Up Too?

[Week4Bytch]

All my future happenings will be ...here.

 

[Week4Bytch]

I currently have three small tents going with something. (Two 4x2, and a 4x4) And one of them will be harvesting in about three weeks or so. Would sure like to have some plants ready to flip to flower right about then. It was a very tough call, been wanting to slam some Darkhorse Bruce Banner for awhile, but my lovely neighbors are crying for the Blue Dream...sigh. So, popping what I have left from Seedsman.

First one sprouted, crossing my fingers for the other two
(Blue Dream)

Definitely hoping for it....it's the waiting that kills me.....

Just came in the mail, these might be next up after the Blue Dream. The weird things is, I think I have a pack of these already . Banner crossed Strawberry Diesel with OG Kush and made a name for himself with his pheno. Everyone kept asking for the "Banner". The rest is history.

I'm starting to get a little iffy (unsure) with dropping seeds in root pods. Maybe just a small string of bad luck or this is what happens sometimes? Anyways, second one popped and third is probably a dud. Because of the lights on max I think I burnt the late bloomer. So we transplanted the older seedling "Ginger" (Blue Dream) into a gallon pot and moved her to the Veg tent where I have another lady going. (Strawberry Gorilla).

I'll let this late bloomer grow out for a week (in the humidity dome) before transplanting it with the others in the veg tent. Might name her "Mary Ann".

We have a new addition to the veg tent... Amnesia Haze. So in this small veg tent we have Strawberry Gorilla, Blue Dream, and Amnesia Haze.

These will be moved out (soon) to the 4x4 in the garage.

I didn't plant this out ahead of time but it's only logical to finish (Dry) what I currently have in that 4x4 (Skunk#1) in this veg tent. The veg tent is indoors and we can keep things at a consistent cooler temp inside. A no brainer.

Funny thing from the Strawberry Gorilla pot...we have mushrooms!? I didn't plant those in there.

 

[Week4Bytch]

Wet trimmed some clean looking buds Friday night. Skunk #1 Harvested and hung to dry.

I'm still in the experimental stage, I've not yet settled on any one amendment for my "soil". I've read and seen some good things about Down To Earth products and this one Bio Live looks promising. Has a gang of beneficials mixed in already and could potentially save me some monies down the road. We just transplanted one of my plants into final pot with a dash of the Bio Live top soil. The other pot was topped off as well.
On another note, I decided to leave the prior root ball in and just plant to the side of it. I'm thinking I won't disturb (as much) bio activity under there, or at least minimize some disturbance. I've seen high dollar corporations doing this so...why not? Just plant it to the side.

And super curious what the soil test will reveal in one of our problem pots

I've heard of testing soil in my backyard, but Week4, this is awesome stuff!

That is ingenious! Organic growing.....yeah....if i were using organic soil, I would love to know the condition of my soil.....that's pretty neat....

Thank you for sharing......

Thanks @Bilber , I've tried this before but grabbed the samples from the very top, they recommend to get your samples at about 6 inches beneath the surface. It's what I did this go around. For a home grower with a few pots it seems like this test kit is perfect. I'm hopeful it sheds some light as to what actually happened. Did I feed too much, too little?

I will say this...that Bio Live wrecks like ass.. wtf is in that shit.

 

[Week4Bytch]

I got my test results in for the soil, and not surprising it read high for Calcium and Magnesium, The very last amendments I dropped in. What's been consistently low is Nitrogen , Manganese, same for the last time we tested. Nitrogen is an easy fix.

Got to play with my blumats today and this time I took the time to use their simple tool (baster) to push out air bubbles from the caps of these things. I'm gonna go with drippers this time.

 

[Week4Bytch]

And we trimmed up some flower that had been drying for 9 days. Bagged them up in Terploc Groove Bags. Was able to fill two 1/2 pound bags.
Now if this stuff tastes anything like the old school "red hair".. just might jizz in my pants.

I had to cull a plant today, she was suffering and just felt the need to put her out of her misery. Anxious to play with my Clone King (way to much machinery for me) I plucked a cutting to see how she does with this thing. Blue Dream cutting.. we added a touch of fresh aloe vera to the bottom of this cut and are using plain pHd water, that's it.
