2024 ONE GALLON CHALLENGE DISCUSSION TOPIC

[Natep]

So we have three users and three different effects from clover? This is getting interesting!( the variables x3) might make a it a hard case to solve.

I know it does replenish nitrogen. Just never had it get that high.

 

[BearWater]

Only 38 days until we flip to flower!

The way it's going right now, I won't have much of a plant by then or anytime to train

I would not transplant at this point but part of me is thinking about doing it to see if it gets it to take off.
I've had success in the past with transplanting slow growing seedlings or seedlings with issues, seems to kick them into gear shortly after.
Decisions, decisions

Reading this made me think of my plants until up potting. They all seemed to do better once into their new containers and with the “real soil”! The root systems on my plants in the solos and even the one gallons that chilled for a while, were not stellar! Mediocre AT BEST! Not even that really!. So im thinking youre on to something and im with you! I just gave the GMOxOkie some more Great White and a couple diluted drops of kelp, going to let her ride for a few and then she’ll go into to gallon bag with her “real soil” other than that im feeling good about it for now : ) either way im REALLY excited to have some fire smoke at the end of this run! (Granted things go well).

How’s your new kitty? Ours are freaking spazoids but like to cuddle and are coming out of there “weird found under the house with a feral mother” phase lol! I think this one is Zelda lol! We have Zelda, Tank, Weasley, Toothless, and Creature

 

[BearWater]

Exactly what I was saying when we first were discussing having this "contest" about being exposed to many grow styles and how much we'd all learn.

We should do this annually and have a big one with categories for the different grow styles in April/May with actual prizes from sponsors and ask them to judge

YES! I am thinking this every other post from everyone here! Putting little bits of this style and pieces from that style! its really fun the play around with building “the perfect setup” lol! (Perfect setup is completely relative to the individual and their climate/wants and needs) in my opinion : )

thats a great idea! could host a “master comp” for drying and curing! I could learn a shit ton from something like that!!! I would follow that one along for sure!

38 days.. I got this.

Short and stout .
I guess this will be a reveg-the-stump-after-harvest challenge as well. I wanted a clone

I agree slow seedlings (once established but just slow) tend to rocket once they find more root space, im thinking I’m gunna up pot within the next 3 days to a 1/2 gallon pot or something maybe a Gaia pot 2l then I’ll move her to the final pot in another 2 weeks so she can stretch her feet into the gallon pot, we’ll see

The cman x okie tester is gettin some N def added more EWC and watered with some OG tea she flipped on 7/24 so she’s at 30 days flower? But shes doin ok we’ll keep her rockin she’s getting frosty,

I’ve never had this many small plants everywhere haha, all different stages, some organic some not, kinda fun though as I’ve never grown to finish in a pot This small, it’s still fun learning

but then the cman x okie reversal and the Frostette reversal are in these tiny things haha but I’m seeing some action on the Frostette I believe to these are even more challenging for me being the Frostette has less than a cup of soil and the cman okie only has about 2 cups of soil lol

Dude I wanted to the clone the GMOxOkie that Newty gave me! I could be down for that challenge!

But yeah I really was thinking I would be able to get a couple off this thing for fun but im not sure, lol. If it starts getting a little bigger and looks like it could spare a couple nodes ill do it : )

I'm trying to decide whether to put her in my final pot or to transplant into something smaller then transplant again.
I really want to get it into that Pro-Mix HP, never used it so excited to see what it does.

Only small pots I have available are 3 quart pots, I got a bunch of them for $1 each at Dollar General. I figure if I'm going to put it in a 3 quart pot, I might as well put it in the final pot.
I do have this Aloe in a 1.3 quart pot. I was trying to get it root bound so it would make babies. There's a couple babies popping up so I think I'm going to transplant the Aloe into one of the 3 quart pots and use the 1.3 quart for my seedling.

Our new kitten is a psycho, running all over and climbing everything. She will finally settle down and take a nap, for literally 30 seconds and her energy is restored and back flying all over the place
She enjoys smacking our dogs noses as well lol

Make fpj out of the aloe and feed it to your plant.

 

[Newty]

Make fpj out of the aloe and feed it to your plant.

I've heard of using Aloe for Cannabis, never personally looked into it.

How do you make fermented plant juice and how do you feed?

It would be pretty cool if we could get it organized to where we all grow the same bean, and see the the differences in end product using various methods.

I like the funsy competitions. No stress. No hassle.

The little sprout that could.

Fermented plant juice?

Yes

Chop up the aloe. Weigh it. Add equal weight brown sugar. Put in a jar cover it with a paper towel. Wait about a week it will start making bubbles. Sift it and put it in the fridge. Use 1000:1 ratio with water.

If you dont think it could be to detrimental to the end outcome this could be a great opportunity to test that out. : )

That sounds about right! Im glad ours are starting to mellow just a little bit, they do the same shit though, but will fight each other the whole time and then pass out in a kitty ball somewhere in the living room

When I was really young like 4 or 5 I would do lake days with my dad and his boat and would get a little sun on the back. We had a little group of those growing in the yard, so when we got home he would cut a leaf and rub the goo on my back! I always looked forward to that, it felt so good : )

 

[BearWater]

Yes

Thanks Farmer I just re read Newty’s post I miss stuff often

 

[BearWater]

Use 1000:1 ratio with water.

Thanks for sharing! So is this stuff super strong and will burn plants? Im going to say obviously by the ratio, but I really dont know.

No it’s not hot like that. The 1000:1 ratio is kind of standard for knf.

Potassium nitrogen fermentation?

I'll have to try it out, thanks!
You just water it into the soil, not a foliar spray correct?
