Group shot of the girls before they get clones cut from them.
probably flip cuts after 30 days of vegFlip them already lol I can't wait for the pheno range
i admire ppl who go the organic route. i took a shot at it and realized it was A LOT of extra work and there was a TON of dialing in to do to maximize yields. not to mention it was just as expensive if you wanna mix your own super soil.I just finished Labyrinth and into jars yesterday!
This was the day before chop. Lower down nug shot.
All organic soil nothing but water - FTW.

do you have any issues with bugs indoors with mixing your own compost??
I've LIGHTLY touched organics.. and have plans in the future to go back to it.. only with farmers pride as my main organics factor.
Thanks for the detailed input. I was in a hurry earlier so i couldn't post my whole message.Thats kinda 2 separate questions.
Do I get bugs - yes everyone does.
Do I get bugs from the compost .... no the bugs in the compost all die off when the food source is consumed. We run 2 Vermicompost bins. 1 year we fill one and harvest the other one for the compost. Then switch about now and start filling the now empty bin.
Also the bugs that eat compost are not the same bugs that infest live plants. Kinda counter intuitive but its true. Our compost bins in the summer time... woah... I don't look around in there too much I get scared!
Only bugs we get are the 2 spotted spider mite fcks... why we do an IPM every week.
Run fans down around the soil line in addition to canopy fans - bugs hate wind.. but still have to IPM and keep things relatively clean.
PM/mold is more of a problem - why I use horsetail fern tea mixed in with my IPM starting in VEG. Haven't had any mold since starting that. The Exotic gear always has a shit ton of sticky resin trichomes which is a perfect host for mold to get started. I'm on the east coast and it's humid and mold spores are everywhere, thats the beginning of fall, garden plants all die of PM at the end of the season. So spores everywhere.
i use Great White atm and honestly.. its incredible. EMC definitely played a huge role in terms of feeding my bacteria. the shelf life on GW is good too. haven't noticed any degrading over the months.. years..For mycos I use Mykes brand... that was the company that started mycos about 30 years or so ago... A lot cheaper Mammoth P ... same result. I'm sure that stuff is good... label says 97% water and 2% alfalfa extract... the other 1% is the microbes. Can make my own tea with more microbes with a cup of EWC and a handful of alfalfa meal ... but use Kelp Meal instead.
