Trying no-till living soil grow

[Natep]

IMO, those City Pickers would be great or autos. Autos usually don't trigger until the tap toot hits bottom and those things are DEEP.

I just like the dimension of the city picker for a 2x4. Fits two a heat and humidifier perfect. No extra room

Pulling up a chair. If you had worms that decided not to crawl down, it could be the high humidity under your top cover. If they dont feel dry air, they won't crawl down. In nature, when it rains, the worms come up. Some get caught in the road, because they sun dries em out before they realize they gotta leave. Perhaps same type of thing happened.

Yeah, I thought about that too. There may be some left alive. Somethings breaking down the top dress. And the leaves from when I defoliate.

My one is getting tall. It's hard to keep an even canopy. I think the sour stomper has a nitrogen toxicity and doesn't seem to be getting taller.

I regret not labeling the pots because I may have the strains confused.

Going to amend tomorrow with EC. Not sure if I should use more craft blend. I think they are still good on nutes.

 

[Halloweed]

Howdy.

Yeah, once I started filling the reservoir, growth exploded. The stretch should be over. Actually one of the plants overtook the other one. Was trying to keep an even canopy but had some wanderers.

Vpd looking good. It's around 1.05. The ppfd I'm not really sure about. I have a lux meter and I don't think it's accurate.

They're starting to give off a smell. I ordered some rootwise and BAS bloom booster. Gave some handfuls of the flower top dress. Now I wait for the buds to fatten.

Also have been defoliating a little each day. There are too many lower bud sites. I'd like to take alot more off.

Let me know if anyone notices something wrong.

Everything looks good to me. I often will have one plant outgrow the other. Stronger genetics, better root structure, position under the light can all have an effect. Plant manipulation can help keep things even though I wouldn't be doing it this far into flower. Make some banana peel tea by soaking 4 or 5 cut up banana peels in a jar of cold water in your fridge. After a week top water your plants with it when the reservoir goes dry then fill it as normal the next day. I do this weekly in flower for a potassium and phosphorus boost.

Happy growing brother!

Well, I have a damn bush lol.

Fed her the bloom booster and gave some more handfuls of flower top dress. Used the rootwise. They seem to have liked everything although...

I just started noticing some browning on fan leaves. On the Sour Stomper, I don't know if she now has a deficiency or not. Her sugar leaves are going from dark green to bright green.

I'm adding pics of what I mean. Going to need to get a dehumidifier because I'm already having a hard time keeping them under 67% to 70%. And summer isn't even here yet.

Temp sitting around high 78F, low 73F. I'm sure I forgot something but that's where I'm at currently.

My pics didn't go through hahaha. Man, I have shifty wifi.

Damnnnn lmaooo I know the feeling, happens often actually haha at the end of the day, dank weed is dank weed lol
It’s an experience for sure, now you know

Small critik. It appears your growing style is still wanting to hold on to salt growing techniques. Lock outs, and toxicity should not even be on the radar with living soil growing. It is more simple and easy going. With natural earth, the changes dont happen as fast as salt growing. When you mess up, it gives you more time to fix. No immediate uptake of most inputs. As long as your soil is getting fed diverse compost items, it balances itself out. No omg, now what? And your worms will love it when you feed them. They devour watermelon. Bury couple pieces, no rind, and see what happens. And p.s. worms give you back whatever you feed them. I would step back, take a puff, and try not to give them too much bottled inputs. P.s.s. your plants look good tho. Nothing looks bad. So take it or leave it, you still got a nice plant that looks happy.

Good read bud

Enjoy the adventure as I know you will

Thanks. I take criticism well lol. I don't think I used any salt based nutes. I do use ph down to get my water from 8.9 ph to 7.0 and was periodically giving them silica.

I guess I can't call it fully organic. Lemon juice lowers ph I think. Ii could get that.

Just a pic update. I don't know what to do with it all until I learn bubble hash. The colas are thickening up. I'm gonna need to keep an eye out for mold but have airflow so I should be fine.

So many things to do with cannabis brother.
Decarb what you aren’t going to smoke:
Use some of that decarb for canna oil to put into food,
Use some of that decarb for alcohol extraction to make thc drinks.
Leave a few branches on for an extra 2-3 weeks just to see what happens.
Cut some early so you can see the taste and potency difference..
just a few ideas

Well, I found my first bug on a leaf. Not sure what it is but I have not seen anymore so hopefully it's just random.

I am noticing some fungus gnats but only here and there.

Neem oil spray, effective and can get anywhere now a days!

Or let a garlic head sit in an amber spray bottle with cayenne pepper , and a dash of vinegar for 2 weeks or more and boom! Natural insecticide, bonus if you can add some fresh or dried tobacco in !!!
TRUST

Cool. I've read about neem oil but never actually used it. Didn't know about the others. Thanks.

The neem oil is great because of the availability, but if you want more natural diy, the other one works great both on cannabis and in the garden!
I been doing it for Years with amazing results! If you do decide on something, if you ever remember let me know how it goes

Except Neem oil is terrible for you

I wasn’t fully aware, good to know. I’m sure a little is better than most other pesticides but maybe that’s just my ignorance lolol

That’s why the garlic , vinegar mix is magic !

I always like the idea of using a predator to kill the pest. Natures good guys website has a control by pest section. Tells you what bugs eat which bug. I like to add a predator mite to my tents a couple times a year.
