Getting supplies and prepping for next grow.

wallywonks · Sep 15, 2023

I ordered supplies for making my homemade dirt. I bought some coco coir from Plantonix, 30lbs EWC, 15lbs Azomite, 22lbs of Rabbit manure, TPS organic Calmag plus micronutrients and 4cuft grade 3 perlite.

I'm also prepping formulas for running 2 DWC grows in 5 gal buckets. I made a ppm list of NPK Ca Mg S of all water soluble products I have on hand. I got 5 lbs of 8-10-8, epsom salts, TPS Calmag with micronutrients. Also have Maxigro, Maxibloom. Dynagro, Dynabloom, Protekt Silica, flower fuel, Dry koolbloom, liquid koolbloom.

I'm following Lucas formula for 2 mixes. One mix for Early Veg/Late Flower and Late Veg/Early Flower with a PK boost added week 3 and 4 of flip.

I have lots of strains to choose from. I'll list them and see what you think will be good in a 48X48X80 tent and a 24X48X60 tent.

I have 6 different Grimm Brothers testers, Humboldt Pheno hunters strains, strains I bought from NASC and Irvine Seed Company as well. I list them all later.

I'm interested in Grimm Brothers Ocifer and Grimm Truffles

I also have Sulpomag aka Langbeinite. Which is nice to add to the 8-10-8 salts along with calmag to fine tune. It said with Potassium. Calcium and Magnesium that you want a 4 to 1 ratio. So if Potassium is 200 then Magnesium need be 50 and Calcium 100.

Its weird I thought research said for max CEC on Magnesium and Ca to have a 5:1 up to 8:1 Ca to Mg. Now I'm seeing 2:1. Maybe soil and hydro it's different ratios.

I have 2 Calmags one with Nitrogen and one without but has all the micronutrients cannabis needs.

Here's pics of my mixes trying to get close to Lucas Formula. It doesn't include the PK boost for flower and ripening. I have Liq and Dry Koolbloom and Flower Fuel boosters.

I bought the 8-10-8 salt ferts for my banana tree but never got around to using it. I believe the salts are ammonium forms.

Here's a list of water soluble ferts and salts that I have on hand. PPM's are based on either 1ml or 1gram per gallon of water. For anyone who wants to custom tweak their solution based on growing stage.

Pics of the 8-10-8 fertilizer I have.

The plan is to grow 2 each of 2 strains in the 4X4 tent. Each strain have 1 in Organic homemade soil and the other in DWC. The organic soil will comprised of 25% Peat Moss, 25% Coco Coir, 30% Perlite. 10% Rabbit shit and 10 % Earthworm shit.

Fertilizer and amendments will consist of Crab meal/Shrimp Meal mixture, Neem Seed Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Fishbone Meal, High P Seabird/Bat Guano, Kelp Meal, Gypsum, Dolomite Lime and Azomite Rock Dust.

Here's the strains I got. I only buy seeds that are priced right, BOGOs and freebie offers.

The testers are something new for me and everywhere online says Brothers Grimm is top listed genetics for breeders. So I couldn't pass up 9 fem seeds for 15 or 25 bucks and got 1 free pack of Grimm Truffles freebies. Supposed last run they were fire. I've seen pics of Ocifer after harvest and was amazed how big the cola was and was grown indoors.

I also got some Royal Queen seeds to try them out and these Humboldt Pheno Hunters. NASC gave me 2 freebies Cherry alien auto and a random Cheese fem that's unnamed lol.
