A Test Of Patience

dilligaf · Mar 21, 2016

I finally got whatever update I needed to post pictures here so I wanted to start this thread for your input.
I want to try some of reeferman gear but wife reminded me I need to wait 6 months until house paid off.
So I am going to do this grow for now. .two strains. .subcools vortex and revs black Forrest. I run vortex for 9 weeks and black Forrest is 14 minimum.
Sprouted 7 of 8 black Forrest f2 and 5 vortex.

The soil I sprout in is
One part used organic soil
One part worm casting
One part compost
One part perlite
One tablespoon greensand per gallon

I posted my soil recipe for bottom half of flower containers elsewhere here..enough people got in touch saying it was too hot to have me thinking that is probably a big part of my problem.
I don't check ph. .wouldn't know what to do with the info if I had it. .does anyone know what the npk numbers should be if a soil test is done.
This will be a long time until harvest.

Looks good. I had a vortex that was very grape candy tasting.

Best of luck.
Peace

Every vortex I have had smelled and tasted like over ripe tropical fruit. .hoping to get a male from from them to dust a couple of black Forrest

Weekly update. .nothing new

dilligaf · Apr 11, 2016

Everything seems to be going good for now. .starting to see which ones want to get tall..they will probably be the next to walk the green mile.
It appears there is a green guardian in the garden

Things are moving right along now. .got a few that are getting a lot taller than the others. .Will probably cull them tonight. .want to keep canopy about even. .sometimes hard to do with 2 strains going. .Will soon fill and layer my 4 gallon containers. .Will use spikes also on black Forrest. .nothing fancy just basic veg and flower spikes.
Just chopped some cherry bomb autos that I had in what others said was too hot with nutes but they did great. .just can't set roots directly in that soil. .needs buffer layer

I do this too.
Reverse a branch in flower.
Just before it spews all over the room, cut and move it away.
Pollen is collected in isolation from the flower space.

This looks like a very good reversal.
How was it accomplished please?
