Hey OMR, how's that Mammoth P working? I'm going to use my sample around the beginning of September.
Was reading back, and saw your complaint about caterpillers. Get yourself some bT and innoculate the bushes now, and you won't suffer. It's a bacteria that is safe for everything but caterpillers.PM, Budrot, and Fu****g catapillars are my biggest worries. Strain choices can take care of the first two but the last few days of September and early October I have to watch like a hawk. If I find one , they come down. There will be more. They don’t stay on a cut hanging plant.
Btw... where are the damn fish!! :)

I started my bloom nute's last week Thursday. The True Bloom bottle said an initial soil drench dose at 5mL/gal then 2mL/gal afterwards twice a week. I alternate with foliar feedings at 2mL/gal twice a week. ...
Now, if you want my two cents, which you didn't ask for, but are gonna get it anyway, you're throwing way too complex a program at your plants. Combining nutes is a recipe for problems. I'd pick something and stick with it. I use a simple program, and run only 75% of recommended strength, and as you can see, that program works.I've been using the Primordial Solutions line this year. First time so I'm hoping for a good show from these guys. The Mammoth I have is from an online request. I'll start it this week with a dose of high Phosphorus AACT and the Paleo.
Not callin’ You out cuz.Don't get me wrong; I love KISS and this definitely isn't my first rodeo. I'm lazy by nature, lol. But this is the first year that I decided to make a decent attempt at an "organic" grow. And I now know why I never made such an attempt before. Procuring raw materials, incorporating same materials, "cooking" said materials for 3 months with a weekly "stir". Oh yeah, I went all out this year. Benny inoculants at each transplant, supplement additions; silica, high brix, carbon, amino acids. And will definitely think twice about embarking on such an endeavor ever again. But you know what guys, I'm seriously enjoying the experience. And I did learn a few things in the process.
My SIG, Harlequin and Blueberry are coming along nicely. The slow-pokes are just showing first signs of pistils.
Anyway that gets it done. I've got a few things going I haven't mentioned. I have active mushroom spawn in two of the beds, making mushroom compost in situ. But getting fancy screwed me over, those were the beds that I have had to adjust the pH in, and one of the plants is the runt of the litter, probably only going to be 1/4 lb or so. The other one, however, is eight feet tall, and I had wine cap mushrooms growing at the base, which is cooler than fuck.Don't get me wrong; I love KISS and this definitely isn't my first rodeo.

I try not to get too excited until they’re hanging... no jinx
Chem has always been known to be big n tall . I need a bit of discretion hence no green point beans in my bin. My guess is 600-800g
So, without meaning to be a dick, did that added complexity allow you to grow a larger/healthier/better plant than below? If not, was it worth it?Don't get me wrong; I love KISS and this definitely isn't my first rodeo. I'm lazy by nature, lol.

Your girl looks good OMR. I already conceded that this wasn't my favorite way to go; I've grown bigger with less. My whole thought process this year was quality, not quantity. So I have yet to see the product of my efforts to know if it was worth it. I agree with 45North; don't count your chicks before they've hatched.So, without meaning to be a dick, did that added complexity allow you to grow a larger/healthier/better plant than below?
