Well I went to grab some worms from the 30 gallon pots to move into the 60 gallon and wow, I was blown away, those pots are PACKED with worms they started with 70 in each bag (40 nightcrawlers and 30 red wigglers I’d guess per bag) can’t remember exactly I added worms twice lol

Yeah I expect purple I’m seein some in the pistils and a few tops we’ll see in a few weeks these cold temps bring out the colors

Really cold here too it’s 47 right now out

Get all the smart gear moved into the new Spiderfarmer 4x4, that G5000 is kickin it in there got a bunch of white landrino cover cop on the 60 gallon so we’ll see how she does, the worms are all in the soil now noting left in the pile so off they go!

 

[Mikedin]

Morning folks! The 4x4 is movin along 8 gallons of water so far but still low on moisture, that’s ok though the cover crop is coming up across the pot should be a green bed in another 2 days

Running the sunrise / sunset mode on the G5000 only at 35% power though atm just to start the cover crop

After the cover crop grows and after you top dress, do you cover again with more rice hulls through out the grow?

You shouldn’t need to but you can if it starts to thin out, it’s really just acting as a mulch layer, over time it’ll begin to breakdown and add silica and help with aeration.

My tent is beginning to fill up, week 4 of flower, some really nice buds starting to form and fill in. I have 4 females 3 are the same cultivars and one is Devil Driver. The biggest plant I think will be thin airy buds the rest look like they’ll be dense resinous buds. All 4 are sativa dominant. Devil Driver is definitely the most frost covered of the 4.

I just had some Devil Driver recently. I liked it. Plan on getting again if I find it at the disposal again. They are looking nice.

Be careful they will reproduce like crazy and turn your entire pot into worm castings. I had a sip turn. It grew perfect and then it was just nasty muck.

Got the apples and bananas x okie out in the garden lookin great! Frostette kickin it in the 30 gallon bag I may be off but I think she’s only 22-23 days since flip I gotta look again

 

[Greenadian]

I cant believe that amount of trichomes already bro!!!

She’s livin up to her name for sure haha

Got the 4x8 cover crop goin, we’ll see what goes in there this fall, might run a 3rd clone of Frostette in the 4x4, I’m kinda usin her as the living soil baseline, I’ll know in continuing to feed the soil right if every run she is the same or improves, so I can replicate the same in the other 2 or adjust based off what I see each run in there

 

[Mikedin]

The spiderfarmer tents are rockin now, hydra plant is rockin, need to give her a little tune up one of these days got the cover crop coming up in the 60 gallon pot in the new 4x4, been watering near daily just a gallon and have the moisture up to 16%, climbing 2-3% per day as the peat fully saturates, figure another week or so of constant watering will have her in the right spot once Roos fill in and start mobilizing water through the soil better, gettin excited to plant something In here, but timing and preparation is everything!

Girl out back is lookin awesome

Gotta grab some pics of the girls on the porch in awhile and damn are they stackin

 

[Mikedin]

Project 4516 x okie and apples and bananas x okie out on the deck killin it

Oh for sure the plan is to recycle the 30’s into 40’s in the 4x8 and 4x4 in the back, few runs then I’ll upgrade them and amend with fresh peat etc, maybe even just do 2 3x3 beds in the 4x4 and one in the 3x3

 

[Mikedin]

Morning dew on the ABO out in the garden we’ll see how they fare they next month

Also took a video of the girls out on the porch last night damn are they frostin up
