If you followed my last one, I grew (4) and they turned Hermie mid flower. I cleaned everything- the fans, fan covers, walls, lid, lights....
I ended up with 18 ounces of seedy weedy. I recently took half of that and Dry Ice'd it with 120 micron bag and got some really nice clean hash that I pressed into chips.
I hated having to water (4) 5 gallon pots and it was a pain to reach two in the corner the way my tent was situated. Mostly water is a pain because I have to go buy it and last time I was mixing Bio Canna nutrients in the water. They seemed easy but it was a hassle after work up against a short window because I was running lights on during the day and they shut off at 7, so limited window to make it home to inspect and manage. This time I have the timers running on from 6pm to 12 noon. I hope to avoid the heat of the summer days here. It's already 80 inside and I only have the lights on 30% right now.
Last time I got a very small infestation of Fungus Gnats and my shit was new and clean and I got rid of all of my house plants so I assumed it had to be Happy Frog soil, so this time I went with a guy I have been paying a lot of attention to on his website and IG, Jeremy Silva of Buildasoil out of Montrose, Colorado.
Shit is changing this time. One plant only, LST and Top one time, maybe two. Longer veg. Living Organic Soil
15 gallon Fabric Smart Pot
Everything I am using is vegan organic product.
Two (2) bags of Malibu soil mix
1/3 lb local European Nightcrawlers
Buildasoil White clover 12 seed cover crop seed mix
Buildasoil Craft Blend
Buildasoil Rootwise Complete
Buildasoil Freeze dried coconut water flakes
Buildasoil Freeze dried Aloe vera
Buildasoil's Neem Oil
Dr Bronner's peppermint oil
Clove Oil
Barley Straw
Organic compost with worm castings for top dressing
I will be planting one Red Dragon Feminized seed.
The soil gets cover crop spread at a (1) Tbsp per square foot application, cover with compost, add 1/4 c of the Craft Blend around base of plant, then cover entire pot with the Barley Straw 1"- 3" deep but loose enough for the cover crop to grow through.
I really wish I had some good Vermicompost with live predators but that's either make my own or order from them with a two week lead time for fresh batches.
I will start pest prevention from the early stages using this neem oil that Buildasoil gets imported from India, supposed to be special stuff. I will be mixing that with different variations of clove oil, Dr Bronner's Peppermint soap and the freeze dried Aloe Vera....we're going to get ahead of bugs if we can.
The goal is to be water only the entire time, but in reality I will be using the Freeze dried Coconut water flakes and Aloe Vera to mix in the water. Supposed to use Aloe for VEG and Coco for Flower, but I have heard good things about using Coco to get big growth in VEG too....so we will mix it up.
And I do plan on doing tea but probably only once or twice in veg. Compost/castings/insect frass/Craft Blend/Rootwise all can be used to make killer teas and I did that last time with my bubbler bucket set up for that.
No mixing nutrients. I may use a little bit of the Cannazyme I have but it's technically not organically sourced but it's also just enzymes to speed up decomp of roots and plant matter....I am not sure about this just yet.
I sprouted two days ago. Dirt in the pot has had about 1.5 gallons of water sprayed over it in the last two days. Part of that 1.5 gallons was some enzymes to get things going. It's moist and ready. This soil is epic. Rice hulls and all kinds of goodies, I am excited to see how this goes.
