A Single Straw Can Start A Revolution. - Masanobu Fukuoka

They are looking much better since I allowed a little dark. I'm beginning to think running LEC 24/0 is just way too stressful. Some older leaves look like a leather skinned old lady at the pool with baby oil on.

Observation
Responding well to the 18/6 cycle. I think I've realized a 24 hour schedule works plants way too hard with LEC.​

Took cuts today. Also took cuts off of each blackberry pheno. These fucking gnats are driving me crazy in this fresh soil. I'm about to rip the straw up and lay down coco bean shells or something as mulch.

sprinkled some mosquito dunks around.

The large bed is dialed in. No gnats whatsoever in there however these 10g can go to hell. Notice the explosion in growth in the big bed. Time to get crankin! Play time is over. The frost factory is open for business.

There's something about the Afghan kush. She looks so graceful. She almost has curves.

Well I've recently learned that blujay has mulched with MBP. Basically you can't burn your plants. I'm going to drop like 2 cups on top of each 10g this evening. That will take care of the damn gnats. I think I saw one with a nematode sticking out of it. It was weird. Looked like a string hanging out of a dead gnat.
 
#331
I topdress with "paver sand". It forms a layer that is cement like, but allowing water to penetrate. No one gets in... No one gets out. It stops the lifecycle of the gnat dramatically reducing the population. The yellow stickys take care of the rest.

That MBP does too lol. Its from the mycellium build up. Shit gets like concrete. I've heard of people getting scared and breaking it up. I'm like wtf...
 
#333
I did a thick top dress of MBP all those fuckers hiding in the straw had to come up. The powder was smothering them. I used like 1.5g of Malted barley lol. So far so good. Seems to be creating a barrier while feeding. I'll just keep it dry for a few days.
 
#334
Cleaned up as much as possible before lights out. I'll finish up this evening. Look at my top dress...lol. 1.5g of MBP total. I took a few different tidbits of info and am going to do an experiment. Ground extremely fine I noticed any flyers hiding in the mulch had to emerge and were covered in MBP. It was smothering them. This also creates a sand like barrier as well as crusting the soil. As well as creating a wall of chitin as well as a fat layer to precipitate on larvae. I saw 0 flyers near the soil or mulch. A few on the wall and on the side of the pots. That's it. Probably won't need to top dress MBP anymore this cycle lmao. I'm going to keep it dry for 3 days. I'll hit it with fulvic aloe and silica then. The lateral are forming shoots and flowers at the same rate as the main cola.

Anything that gives off terpenes. It's not fully understood but plants communicate through terpenes and exudates. It's a new science. Lavender or basil. Rosemary is great. For a nitrogen fixers beans and peas are a legume.

The terpene rich herbs act as an ipm also.

Yah I overgrew a little bit. I'll have a nice line next run. I'm running 4. It was mentioned by blujay that growth and yield end up the same with 1 plant that can just stretch it's roots all it wants and 2 that are restricted somewhat. I do notice the plants that have a little more room are hitting no speed bumps. Just taking off now that they have stretched their roots all the way out.

I'm definitely going to LST to make sure I fill the foot print and have ample room for root stretch.
 
#340
After thinking about 2 variables LST is a huge benefit.

Lumens per square inch. I'm not really training to make more colas as much as more leaf surface.

Root mass. Cannabis plants recognize each other and will control root growth as to not intrude. I don't want this. Each plant will have a 50g quadrant. This is my new rule of thumb. 50g per plant.

@fatawa
Check out this article on plant communication through VOCs beans deter aphids with noxious fumes. Idk if that's good indoors. Plants can identify eachother.
