So a few of the old heads on here said they were interested in a grow diary. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!
You'll see lactobacillii mentions throughout, it's a great bacteria. To get some going, just fill a mason jar with cabbage and cover it with water and add 5% salt by weight. Make sure to check on it because it'll build pressure pretty quickly if it's in an airtight container, I've got dreams of a dual purpose fermentation and flower room with the ladies fed by the CO2 given off by the ferments and maybe bread starters, but that's a long way away.
Soil mix:
1 5g bucket sphagnum
1 5g bucket EWC
1 5g bucket coir, rinsed
2 5g buckets Perlite
2 cups dolomite lime
4 cups glacial rock dust
1/2 cup kelp meal (from kelp harvested from nearby beaches, rinsed/soaked for tea, then dried)
1/2 cup alfalfa and old fan leaf meal
1/2 cup organic 4-7-1 tomato fertilizer
1.5 cups crab chitin meal
1 gallon inoculated biochar
1 cup molasses dissolved in 1g water and fermented with sauerkraut juice for lactobacilli and a pinch of baker's yeast for 2-3 days around 75F in a sealed milk jug
1/4 c neem oil
Bug spray:
5 grams black peppercorns
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap
1 cup lacto juice from the mother kraut (once it's cool enough) with a smashed clove of fresh garlic
1 teaspoon neem oil
Pour the boiling water over the peppercorns in a bowl, then add the soap and whisk or stick blend in the neem oil until it's emulsified. Then slowly whisk in the lacto juice. That all gets poured into a spray bottle.
Lights:
HLG 65 @ 4k (veg)
Feit C4000 @5k (veg)
HLG 260 @3k (flower)
Feeding:
Compost tea 1-2x/month
Alfalfa tea and old cannabis leaf meal 1x/month
Kelp tea 1x/month
EWC tea 1x/month
All teas have molasses and lacto juice added and are fermented for 2-3 days prior to using in a sealed container to carbonate the tea
All seeds are planted in soil and watered with willow water
All transplants have mycorrhizae dusted on roots
Ventilation: Window AC unit into room, sealed flower room inside that room, window fan for exhaust. External smell isn't an issue.
In addition to that, there are a few outside ladies that are in buried pots of the same soil mix. Hopefully by the spring they'll be joined by some honey locust and sea buckthorn bushes to keep , well, everything out.
Everything currently going:
Kalashnikov: AK Kush, Lavanda Cream, Kubanskiy Ubiyza, Katyusha, Siberian Haze
Humboldt: Black DOG, Blue Dream, Three Blue Kings, Gorilla Breath
Sensi: Hindu Kush (though I'm pretty sure that plant isn't HK, it's growing like a sativa) and Afghani #1
Dinafem: Dinamed CBD Plus, Purple Afghan Kush, Big Kush, White Widow Auto
G13 Labs: Blue Cindy, Double Black, C99
Dutch Passion: Frisian Duck, Bubba Island Kush
710: Hash 13 and Lemon Pineapple
Seedsman: Pink Kush CBD, Cream and Cheese CBD
Europa: Heavy Grapefruit
World of Seeds: Ketama
Barney's Farm: G13 Haze
Delicious: Critical Super Silver Haze
Greenbud: Lemon Pie Auto
Pyramid: Super Hash
There are some fun landrace genetics on the way as well, but I'll say more about that later.
The last picture is of the germinator/cloner. It used to be a dishwasher, but after gutting it, sterilizing it, running a bulb through the top sprayer hole. and putting a heating mat on the floor, it's just like an ez-germ oven! 100% germ rate since I've started using it.
Thanks for the interest!
