I used a little cinnamon for antifungal... if I pull this off I'm going to go buy another meaningless internet title and try to use it everywhere.
Oh also I got Worker's Comp after 518 days suing my former employer. I apparently will be somewhat less poor.

If it works it works! Biggest thing to remember is living soil isint like any other type of growing, we don’t target spesific NPK’s. In general we want all nutrients available at maximum capacity at all times, let eh microbes balance the uptake from the plant root excretions

Always feed the soil, not the plant. . That's my theory for outdoor grows as well. I've seen weed growing straight out of sludge from a waste water treatment plant, right alongside cherry tomatoes. They only uptake what they need, no matter how rich the soil.

Yes I bet they were wonderful.

Back tent girls
Got some DE on the bag edges as preventative but haven’t seen anything flying had a few when I first started the first cycle but the BTI wiped em out and broke the cycle now the DE keeps it empty of gnats etc

Looks like roots have found the edges after nearly 2 weeks, they’ve been tipped a few days ago and are stretchin out now!


Cleaned the bong now it’s time to make er dirty lol

 

[ChairmanFester]

I have an Oooze brand sherlock but a part cracked, so it's old school (re-rolled cigar) blunt time. Might get really gangster and listen to Al Jolson.

 

[Mikedin]

Man this girl looks great I I wanna let her go another day or 2 then I’ll be flipping her I expect her to stretch a bit so we’ll see

 

[Mikedin]

Boredddd finally slowed down at work what’s up folks.

 

[ChairmanFester]

2 on flip day and 2 on 3rd node, not much. Babysitting my chili all day.

Chili?! Where’s mine!

Girl is lookin happy! Just letting her reach the edge of the net all the way around then it’s flip time, she’s really close

 

[Mikedin]

Mornin homies! Home from work finally. Bout to hit the bed but had to spend some quality time with the girls

Both are looking awesome, AK Death Star is a lookin like more of a stretcher the real sour AK looking bushier and more compact, both work for me they each have their own side of the tent and their own light so we’ll see how they fill in over the next week or 2 and I’ll decide how I’m gunna train em, might stake em but if I top again I’ll probably throw a net over em instead, just havin fun for now checkin out these crosses already lookin forward to tryin em out! and I’ll graft em onto the hydra ofc haha

 

[ChairmanFester]

Is there, more or less, a green IV port in your soil?

 

[cpurola]

Do you plan to remove the lower fan leaves after you flip?

 

[Mikedin]

Is there, more or less, a green IV port in your soil?

I call it clover lol, all that nitrogen feeding right into the soil when they are alive they pull nitrogen from the air and deposit it into the soil, then ofc when I chop and drop it it adds additional nitrogen lol so in a way… yes lol

 

[Mikedin]

Do you plan to remove the lower fan leaves after you flip?

Most likely I’ll remove a bunch of the largest ones and let the rest ride normally I do a fairly heavy defol but depending on on how the plant looks as I’m doing it I’ll do more or less etc. I am a big fan of removing almost all fully grown fans, think about it this way, what’s most likely the first thing that will get disease on a plant… the oldest leaves, remove those and you put yourself in a better position for a healthy run. If I figure I veg my plant for 10 weeks then flower for 10 those fans eill be 20 weeks old but if I defol at flip, they be 10 weeks old at harvest, less likely to see any issues

Just my personal observations ofc I’m sure science would tell me fuck off lol,

 

[Mikedin]

I’ve been considering making a tutorial on how I decide when to flip to flower etc, I’ve noticed small details with the different methods, especially scrogging or after topping I don’t think people give the plants enough time to recover and mature the new chutes, if those chutes start stretch when too small the result will be smaller main colas on those branches, if you give the plant time to thicken up stems and fill out the heads of each new node you’ll benefit a ton, let those fill in and thicken and continue tucking heavy mains as they stretch, once the newer nodes look worthy to stretch and hold nice colas then that’s when I flip

Hard to explain maybe I’ll make a video of I get time tomorrow
