Week4Bytch ..The Cannabis Karen

[DanielWesterfield]

Quick update on the Spider Farmer Dehumidifier... The thing is a BEAST. We're having an odd higher than usual humidity in the lung room, and we set the unit up to see "what it can do" in a 10x10 room. Fucker just hums and handles it in spades. We have it running (unattached from the tent) just there in the room during the lights out cycle to keep the room at 50% for now. So far giving this unit two thumbs up.

Hell yeah, pushing that work

Nice. I debated getting one but read some negative reviews about it not pulling much moisture. I might get one now knowing it works good.

(we are as lazy as summer lazy can get ya) I usually break out the Infinity humidity dome to hold the root pods when dropping seeds. (From a user tip here at the Farm) We dropped the root pod into a freezer bag and have it sitting by the window.

For the extreme heat, (up to 112f some days) these ladies are hanging in there. I have some Korean Natural Farming stuff that I made (when I was in that phase couple years ago) and that shit seems to be working for these ladies. I fed them a little Fish Amino Acid (FAA) and some Fermented Plant Juice (FPA) off an Aloe plant. And they seem to be holding up. Color is good, just a little beat up from some high winds. The FAA was actually given to me to try out. And you don't need much of it, teaspoon a gallon. If these ladies survive to September we might have something. #kush (kinda wish homeboy didn't top these plants, would have loved to see the true expression)

Not much to add here .. everything is at a slow pace this might be a 8 week veg... I get bored and start doing stupid shit. Like planting that seedling next to the current one. May the best one win! Will I let them both grow out in the same pot? I've never done it, seen it done. But never done it myself. Well, let's get there before we talk about it some more. 4 weeks from now... Let's see where we're at 4 weeks from now.

Well... Gypsum isn't a quick release as I previously had thought. Explains a lot. Plant is recovering well. And we're giving her some vitamin cal/mag. Via Rooted Leaves .. a plant based formula.

 

[bruce420forthewin]

why not hit with organic Calmag nuts line like Pure blend product ,I do believe those application of synthetic calmag gonna kill off most or all of the soil food web microbes.

That's a great question. If your talking about Botanicares Calmag.. that's not any better as it uses Calcium Nitrates. I had the same questions about trying Rooted LEaves Cal MAg Fuel. The quick answer from them was this...

CalMag Fuel is crafted with sustainability in mind, using plant-derived ingredients and a carbon-based formula. While it contains natural sources like fermented stevia leaf and orange peel, it's important to note that "organic" can have different meanings depending on certification standards. Our products focus on being environmentally friendly and enhancing soil health through innovative chemistry.


I had to look up Calcium Nitrate vs Calcium Acetate , Cal MAg Fuel uses Calcium Acetate.

Calcium nitrate and calcium acetate are both used as calcium fertilizers, providing calcium to plants for healthy growth and development. However, they differ in how they deliver calcium and their other effects on the plant and soil.

Calcium Nitrate:
Composition: Typically produced by reacting calcium carbonate with nitric acid.
Nutrients provided: Supplies both calcium and nitrate nitrogen.
Availability: Provides immediate calcium availability to plants. When dissolved in water, it readily dissociates into calcium and nitrate ions, available for plant uptake.
Consideration: Applying calcium nitrate also adds nitrogen, so fertilizer programs need to be adjusted accordingly to avoid excessive vegetative growth.
Use in hydroponics/greenhouse: Calcium nitrate is a common source of calcium and nitrate in these settings.
Not considered organic: It cannot be produced organically.


Calcium Acetate:
Composition: Derived from the reaction of calcium carbonate with acetic acid.
Nutrients provided: Primarily supplies calcium.
Availability: Highly water-soluble, making calcium immediately available for plant uptake. It is more soluble than calcium carbonate, calcium chloride, and calcium sulfate.
Advantages:
Faster means to deliver calcium compared to some other forms.
Benefits when applied as foliar spray: some product ends up on the soil, and its high solubility helps with root uptake, especially in hot, dry conditions.
Can potentially enhance root hair development, further aiding calcium movement.
Considered environmentally benign for sunscald protection.
Can correct calcium deficiency in soil conditions with low pH, high levels of magnesium, potassium, or ammonium, and low CEC soils

To answer your question... I agree that loading your soil with salts can kill off beneficial bacteria. I'm mostly using this as a foliar spray. Unil my dry amendments "catch up" to this Cal Mag whore I'm currently growing. I'm gonna dive deeper into using Cal MAg Fuel to see why Rooted Leaf believe it's a great organic solution. But great question!

And further looking into it I found this....

Cal Mag Fuel produced by Rooted Leaf Agritech, is considered an organic product. It is specifically formulated with a proprietary blend of chelated and complexed calcium and magnesium using organic acids that are recognized by plants and are safe for the environment. CalMag Fuel is also free of nitrogen, phosphates, sulfates, chlorides, carbonates, and animal products, making it suitable for organic gardening.
Here's why CalMag Fuel is considered organic:
Organic Acids:
The calcium and magnesium are chelated and complexed using a variety of organic acids recognized by plants.
No Synthetic Additives:
CalMag Fuel is free of synthetic nitrogen, phosphates, sulfates, chlorides, carbonates, and animal products, which are common ingredients in non-organic fertilizers.
Focus on Bioavailability:
The product emphasizes maximizing nutrient uptake by using a highly bioavailable form of calcium and magnesium.
Emphasis on Plant-Derived Ingredients:
The ingredients in CalMag Fuel are derived from fermented plant material (such as citrus and stevia) and other plant-derived sources, aligning with organic principles.
Overall, CalMag Fuel's composition and focus on plant-derived ingredients and bioavailability, along with the absence of synthetic additives, position it as a product suitable for organic gardening practices.

You can use calcium carbonate and Epsom salts if you want the calcium and mg without the extra nitrogen. Both are cheap powders and will last you many years. No reason to pay for water filled bottles. Also you can control the ratio of calcium to mg. Most Calmags are 4:1.
if ya do so ,go Calmag with foliar spray that won't ve any problems I guess.
For hydro that high Calcium Nitrate bottle( Calmag )sometimes does more harm than good. And is vastly overused asa crutch.
The extra calcium and nitrogen in Calmag actually exacerbate the problem. Most fertilizers have plenty of calcium, iron, sulphur, etc and the extra nitrogen is not needed.
The added nitogen makes the plant more hungry so it wants more magnesium and phosphorus. It's sort of like drinking salt ↑ water from the ocean. You want more and more until you die. →
and mostly they go with calcium carbonate bottle that zero N in it .
Calcium Nitrate bottle only good for soil growers when they do water feed only~ that is .
Never hearded any liquid Fermented organic Calmag products and not even seen on Jeremy build soil products lists ,lol cuz very fertilizer is a salt, just some are organic while others are not.
i choose the real Fermented Calmag products Wcap and Wca that both 2 tsp per gal weekly.

No nitrates in this formula, and is 100 times more asorbable than the competition. This formula is 6:1 ratio. I usually top dress with Build A Soils Craft Blend, it uses gypsum and oyster shell flour for the calcium inputs. But .. as any dry amendments go, you got to get it in early in time for plant availability. Meaning it takes time to break down. I've used Epsom salts before and do not use anything calcium carbonate any more, not on purpose anyway. My tap water is full of it. It's very hard. I have KNF growers on my Discord who swear by chicken grits for calcium. All viable. Just riding this wave for now with the Rooted Leaves Cal Mag Fuel. Until the soil catches up. It seems to be right there, might have to top dress again here soon to keep things groovy. But yeah KNF is a way to go about it.

You have the Gary Payton going? Which thread is that on, I've been tempted to try that for a couple years. I'm really tempted to retire here soon so I can spend more time growing and tending to the lady's. Almost there... Any time soon. Probably a year from now but I'm so tempted to just hang it up in September

These are the ones I grabbed

White Runtz + Okie
Gelato 33 + Okie

Awhile back I did I’d have to figure out which grow log she was in I think it means my previous one lol

I’ll see if I can find the grow log so you can see the progress and what I fed her etc at the time, I called her the orange airhead Pheno due to my wife (she dosent smoke and if she does its very little) and she said all tboigh flower and even jarred it smells just like orange airheads.. fucking excellent need to run her again still have more seeds

I believe 5 gallon bucket 2x4 scrog, I believe she was around 270g off that plant solid colas

I also did Gypsum 、seed meal 、compost and Wormshit tho on topsoil before planting that is the main contents in craft blend
.things like oyster shell、crab meal that ocean products always have more or less Sodium.

Agree, dry amendments are very popular amongst organic growers. This is the way.

 

[bruce420forthewin]

if ya dont stay on top of bennies frequently (wormshit, compost tea, etc) things cango wrong pretty quick. And sometimes gonna get some deficiencies half way through and that's why I like keep things go simple and hit FAA/wca/wcap/seasalt /LAB and even some JADAM liquid ferts that help Microbical fungi alive ,ircc Jeremy also did some handeasy homemade products like seed sprout tea /aloe Ferment to get plants more happier.

 

[Week4Bytch]

This one seems to like the constant soil moisture vs the dry back in between waterings. And we trimmed off some of the main foliage so that the flower sites can get more lighting. This usually slows down the growth a bit but this pheno responded the opposite and picked up the pace a little.
