Dang I haven't updated in a while. I tried to find the pictures I've taken over the post few weeks. Here they are. I haven't added anything to the soil. I've missed my Microbial Mass application. And I need to do more Harbin protein foliar spray. But things are going okay.

I haven't done any training really. Except for at the beginning. I've just not had the time to get out there. I still plan to set up the trellis net to help keep the branches up bc they're so lanky.

Things seem to be going okay. The blumats are working and keeping things watered. I cut out the plant in the middle. I either vegged too long or a 2x4 bed isn't big enough for 3 plants. Next run I'm prob still gonna go for 3 plants but I'm veg less time. Also I'll focus more on training. These plants are going to be hard to deal with as they put in more weight. I'll extend the support bars all the way around soon.

They grew up into the lights. I couldn't do anything but break some branches to get them down. These plants are resilient. I've had to make more than a few splints for big breaks. Here's some pics. I'm pretty bad at taking them though.

I haven't updated in a while. Things have gone well. I've not added really anything since flower. I prob should hit them with microbial mass soon. This other one looks like it's foxtailing. It could be the genetics, but they are hella close to the light. I can't get them any lower.

I didn't do much training and I let them veg for too long. A whole side of branches fell over and that's when I finally put up the supports. I'll learn from it. I was very close to trying to fit 3 in again this next round but I believe with the space the roots have to grow, in the 2x4 bed, that they'll always end up getting pretty big. 75% of the bud from this grow is one plant. The really frosty one (PBKB) has very few buds comparatively. But it looks so good.

Looking good, Perrin! Nice tent. I’ve heard the same about insect frass. a try later on. I think a lot of people might give you grief on planting three plants in the same container. I’ve planted two in 40 gallon pots and one did seem to dominate. But I wasn’t really unhappy with the results. But three might get a little crowded! Lol! Did you ever consider putting dividers between the plants? Or did you think that would cramp there route freedom a little too much. Keep us posted. Good job!
3 might be a bit much for a 2x4. I do 5 in a 4x4 bed. Your next round put your seedlings straight in the bed. Place them right where you break the old stock out. The old roots will work as pathways. They will already have the mycelium growing along them.

That's a good idea. I'm germinating now.

Things are coming along well. Getting a lot of foxtailing. Not sure exactly why. Any ideas would be welcome. I've considered that it's genetics but I was out there earlier and didn't get pics but they're def growing out there on a few buds. So I feel like it's more than just genetics.

Awesome pull.....

Living soil has been in my views.....but then, dwc has been also......

Thank you for sharing your grow experience with us.....this is one of the reasons I'm deciding on which method will work best for my environment......

I'm not saying peat/perlite doesn't work....it works quite well.....but not so environmentally friendly....

I look forward to your next grow.....thank you again.....

I love my organic grow. I think that the flower taste way better. Plus everything is just so easy. Are you adding any fpj?
No I didn't. Eventually I'd like to get into some knf stuff, but I have to find the time learn.
