Hell yeah, he’s back! Can’t wait brotha. You never mentioned the genetics you’re runningThread titles need to be 5 words min now? Thats weird...
Anyway.. Ok, This isn't news for some of you but my last grow went tits up due to a mechanical disaster... so I'm having to start over.
Just got back from town with supplies to get things planted up tomorrow.
This one is a big departure for Ol' Dirtbag. Im mixing up an organic soil and feeding organic also. This isn't exactly a first for me, but its been 20 years anyway.. Reason for going back to organics is simple, this pot is all for me and my head alone, so quality is the only factor im measuring.
Soil mix will be 109L of Proterra peat mix, 20L canna coco, 20L worm castings, 4 cups gaia green 4-4-4,... and 4 cups of neem seed meal.
Using 5 gal fabric pots and handwatering for this round..
Feeding will be lakewater with calcium silicate and Epsom added, and using Earth Juice Grow, Bloom and micros. Skipped the catalyst as it seems like its mostly enzymes, carbs and kelp. I will be supplementing Kelp with floraliscious plus, Enzymes I use already... Not planning on using molasses.
Tomorrow is planting day! For now... Here is a pic of my Nutes lol...View attachment 1049992
Looking forward to seeing how you go for maximizing quality!Thread titles need to be 5 words min now? Thats weird...

Does the calcium silicate do double duty for calcium as well as the silica (instead of potassium silicate)?Thread titles need to be 5 words min now? Thats weird...

It does. I also have kSi here that I will also use depending on what it looks like the plants need more.Does the calcium silicate do double duty for calcium as well as the silica (instead of potassium silicate)?
I’m pretty interested myself. I’m considering the Down to Earth amendments when I run out of what I have.Im in for the show. :-)
I almost went with earth juice when i picked pure blend pro. My old caregiver here used it. Real interested.

Tons of live bacteria in thereOh, also got a bottle of "fish sh!t" given to me ill probably use also. Apparently its just liquid, composted fish manure. Gonna use that mid flower..
Well duh, it is shit, after all.Tons of live bacteria in there
Its this stuff.. I left it in the truck so don't have a pic.. But reading this, I might use it in Veg and flower...Hell yes.... where da pics?
Yeah I have some. Looks like really good stuff. Even the denitrifying bacteriaIts this stuff.. I left it in the truck so don't have a pic.. But reading this, I might use it in Veg and flower...
Yeah why not? I have a plethora of seeds. And I’m guilty, I’m going to buy 1 more pack of solfires Don Dada. North fire cookies x Don mega. Looks just absolutely killer with a dirty gym sock terp and hints of sweetness. I have a feeling you will kill it brotha.Haha, got me... I've got a handful of seed plants including the ones so kindly donated by you waiting in the wings, And I have a bunch of clones rooting that I got from Kanzeon, but honestly I think they will be going into the next crop cycle. My buddy stopping by and infusing a roomful of fully rooted premium cuts sort of changed how I need to approach this.
I've got your Bahama mamas going, as well as Grape diamonds for seed plants at the moment. For rooted clones I have 8 x 4 star general, 4 Kush mint tarts, 3 cush mints (?) one spiked punch, and one wedding crasher.
Clones will likely take the real estate in the flower room since I can flip them so much sooner. But this also looks like I'll be running 2 crops back to back instead of just the one like I had planned. Which is fine... Stockpile right? lol

Fuck yeah brother. There is no rush whatsoever. Glad I am able to help. Those Don Carlos sound like something special, specially if you’re able to find “the one.” Happy grows brother.My fingers are firmly crossed it goes well. We will see. And your seeds are going to be grown, that is a fact man! I'm very much appreciative that you did that for me, But I also know how much of a pain it is to grow clones and seeds together and I just can't go down that path again lol. Not until I get back on my feet at least, I need to pull a crop before I run out of smoke and the tickle trunk is running low! lol These clones are tall and bushy and ready to just explode... I can't deny them that opportunity lol. I'll veg the seeds since they're already sprouted for the next run, which is honestly better because I can select dominant plants and take cuts etc, and they will be well matured by then so cloning and flipping will be a breeze. It'll also allow me to rip those Don Carlos!
