THE TRAINWRECK. Brought to you by thcfarrmer…..

I use 1 part but I think @Mikedin has experience with A/B.

I’d do what cap does, I liked the a and b because I could balance them if I wanted to reduce nitrogen in the mix etc I always preferred being able to balance the feed ratios myself as much as I can

In the 3x3 I’m gunna do the living soil method but add in Gaia green and azomite, epsom, gypsum, and a whole wack of other shit and see what happens might have that new 3x3 be my test tent haha see how far I can push organically before implementing in the big tents

Can’t wait to see that 4x4 with a correct size light in it then the 3x3 having a perfect light going into it

Well, picked up some craft blend, Build a bloom, pushin P - high phosphorous blend, and kashi blend

Just gunna stay silent with that order… she saw me on the computer, said I was ordering our veggie seeds, and which I did lol

I thought I was done with clandestine growing a long time ago, but nooooo. MrsDogma sees me taking clones right now getting some roots ready for summer, meanwhile I dropped another bunch of seeds in cubes trying to find a good OG Kush pheno in time to run one. "There's some tomatoes in there, honey." Well, a couple of them anyway Hehehehe

 

[Ninjadogma]

Now he can market it as “exotic”

Also suitable for a circus side show, because let's face it... In 2025 the Bearded Lady just ain't the odd curiosity it used to be.

Show of hands, who'd pay to go see cannabis balloon animals?

Luckily it’s not hard to convince her I’m busy in the basement when it’s planting season, it’s basiacally where I eat when I’m not working. Or sleeping until everything goes into the ground lol

Plants in the 4x8 in the video were caps cali blues, what I deemed my freak cut ran it 5 times I believe, all clones, then on the right side, the darker plant was false cali blues, all excellent smoke, great run

Save some pots for the rest of the Farm

Think I bought 800 still have 200 I think that’s all I’m doin this year so much work keeping up with em all, we are pretty confident in this years selection so I won’t go too overboard on plants to sell at the road

Probably just gunna use the double, heavy duty shallow 1020 microgreen treys with the slotted on top and use the soil block maker, worked really nicely last season

between the jacks dry solubles i use, the green leaf stuff, and the various calcium and potassium powders i use, i dont think theres an NPK/micro ratio around i couldnt intentionally hit.

i think i have about a dozen pre mixed npk/micro ratios i can grab at a given time now.

I gotta be careful with organics indoors because you could say im a bit of an amateur mycologist sometimes. I do use organic rich microbial colonized buffer mixes in my soils though, so i can get away with even less solubles. Just supplementing what my soil mixes lack really. I cant do the truly living soil thing indoors without other hobbies of mine suffering consequences.

Morning brother! Looking good in there! I gotta do some timer adjustments today, luckily I took today off, not flipping but gunna drop from 20/4 to 18/6 and adjust on/off time to fit schedule better after daylight savings time, lights come on an hour too late for day shift when I gotta work haha

none of this is necessarily directed at anyone in particular lol.


i went to 16/8 vegging, and ill never go back to 18 personally. I can give like 25% more intense light on 16 vs 18 without any burn, and i can get tighter node spacings, and when i flip to 12/12 the nodes dont space out as much during the stretch, the plants across the board are easier to manage and stack into colas better and all my vegging plants just feel happier at 16 in a way thats hard to put my finger on.

fwiw anyway. Ive only experienced benefits going to 16/8 over 18/6. not a single con so far. Its actually the only growing decision ive ever made that only has benefits. The only reason i use 18 or 20 these days is if im trying to veg a plant under less then adequate light intensity.


Random PSA: If you see magnesium stripping on your plants from light intensity, thats not light burn, that doesnt mean you need to back your lights up, that means you need to feed your plants heavier. The more light you give your plants the more they have to be fed to keep photosynthesis and sugar production from outpacing the availability of minerals in the soil. You can give happy cannabis light so intense it literally bleaches the tissue white without burning it, as long as the plant is thriving well enough. Cannabis can take more light without burning then most cacti can. If you cant feed your plants heavier in that context without nutrient burn, then you need to dial in your soils/NPK/micros or overall ratios for that plant a bit more. Actual light burn, nutrient burn, and immobile nutrient deficiencies can be almost identical to each other on some plants too. What determines which it is on many plants, is just keeping track of variables and context that led to the expression of the problem you are seeing.

These are the different things I wanna play around with, having the 3 different large tents I’ll be trying different stuff in different tents, different top dresses, cover crops, lighting schedules, feed combos, all kinds of fun haha

I should really break down what gear is in each tent so it’s more clear to understand in my journals lol

Clown dude be making balloon animals outta cannabis stalks n shit

I plan to do the same thing on the low side i did on the tall side.
Im gonna prune the high side while everythingelse gets as tall.
Then im gonna braid all of it.

I rock that 20/4 tough.
Smooth sailing.
Everything you said makes great sense tho.
I just keep them low while i train them
Do i figure longer light while they are low.
I cant account for spacing.
Most of mine are tight bc the way i train.

I feel you.

Peaceblasters were some good practice.

The actual challenge bout to start tho.

Should be all gravy hopefully. The big thing with the South American sativas is giving them enough calcium without overdosing then on N. Long as you can cut out that N in flower without cutting off the calcium they're pretty smooth sailing usually. Calcium bicarbonate ftw.

Thats what im giving them coupled with sweet candy bloom boost.
Perfect.

 

[Captspaulding]

Looks like something we woulda done as kids

Remember the merry go rounds the old metal death spinners? We used o hook up 4 wheelers and a rope to em and see who could hold on the longest

Edit… these fuckers

Redneck gravitron?



Bro. I got thrown into an adjacent swingset drunk on 40s with my 89 taurus station wagon (the enterprise) my good buddy from youth, and a really bad idea.
Alls i know is dont stand if your buddy is gonna floor it.
Concussed.
Hard.

Thats hilarious you brought this up.
One of my darwin awards
I have a few
That one was rough

 

[FoggyScope]

Yo!!! @FoggyScope ..... Make sure to re-veg and I'll buy 5 clones as soons as they are ready!!!

You're about 40 days too late to ask that lol. I like to give them some cold exposure a couple weeks before harvest to help induce senescence. Really brings out the colors while it fades. Cures quicker imo

 

[BB22]

I plucked a couple lower , test buds from a M86 and a Barney’s Farm Lemon Tree

Placed them in the “drying tent”. A 2x2 with an inline fan.

You have to know that I mixed them up

 

[Mikedin]

20/4 isint what I normally run I usually run 18/6 but have been wanting to run 16/8
