Hey guys
Since i started a new batch of @Trustfall seeds, i wanted to make another grow diary. This time i will not use my normal nutrients. Instead i will try the BioTabs.NL "only water" strategy.
The basic idea is, you prepare your soil once and add only water afterwards. When flipping to bloom you feed once with a liquid fertilizer.
Here is a short video for those interested:
This link shows the manual: https://biotabs.nl/download/organic-cultivation-manual-english.pdf
I want to try this because it sounds very simple, its all organic and i like the fact that everything is in the soil, like it would be in nature.
The set contains:
Startrex - Soil improver
Bactrex - Bacterias
Mycotrex - mycorrhiza spores
Orgatrex - liquid fertilizer
BioTabs - Slow release fertilizer tab
Equipment contains:
Seedling/Grow stage:
Tent 0,80 x 0,80 x 1,80
150W - Baboboard - 140x Samsung LM301H One, 20x Samsung LM301H Evo Mint, 120x Osram GW QTLQS1.LM, 8x Osram GH CSSRM4.24, 4x Osram GF QSSPA1.24
3.5L standard pots
Blooming stage:
Tent 1,50 x 1,50 x 2,00
680W - Ocl Skwid 1900 - 2880 LM301H Samsung Chips & 96 Oslon SSL Osram Chips
9l Air Pots
Several Fans
pH and EC meter for correct values. I go with 6.2ph most of the time.
19 Seeds were put into Seedplugs, and watered with Bactrex. The seeds were:
10x Original OG x Oaxaca
6x Triangle Grape Cake x Banana OG
3x Wedding Cake Bx1 x Bandiad Haze #7
19.05.
One day later somehow the humidity dropped extremely and i dont know why. I was shocked when i opened the tent. The result was, most of the seeds that were on their way out had problems to push off the seed skin. I had to make an emergency operation :) I watered all, with a needle, drop for drop, waited for them to rehydrate. Then i took two toothpicks and helped them out of their shells. This is how it looked before my operation...
I managed to get them all free somehow. I had to put some earth one the long one(right block, mid, top lane) and rearrange his head. Today, another day later, i transplanted them into bigger pots (3.5L). Pots got prepared with BioBizz Light Mix, Perlite, Startrex, Mycotrex in the hole for the seedling and one tab in the soil. Watered with Bactrex at the end. This is how it looked today after repotting and two days after planting seeds. They look really fresh again:)
21.05.
So 15/19 came after 2 days. I am still waiting for one Bandriad Haze, one Oaxaca and two of the Banana OGs. I hope they will follow up, otherwise i will add 3 fem Wedding Cake x Garry Payton to the mix to get the big tent full.
