What does compost tea do? What does your soil have? What does compost provide? Is soil better not disturbed?I always water with a compost tea after I re-amend my soil, which is every other grow. I don’t know much about bokashi. I’ve read about it some, but it seems like a pain in the ass haha, so I haven’t read too too much about it, but I do always water with a compost tea once I’ve mixed in all the amendments.
Why would it be doing really well? What's your soil missing? Why use those instead?I hear ya on the bokashi - fermentation’s are a whole new ball game that i haven’t delved in to yet. Although I’ve met a couple organic farmers (vegetables) who use all the OMx’s (om1, om5, om7, etc) methods of fermentation’s and do really well. I’m not familiar with that methodology though.

Looking great! Man, that one in the middle didn’t stretch much at all, huh? Which on is that? Have you considered maybe putting the pot on top of something to get a little more even canopy? Or are you trying to keep it a little further from the light? Whenever I have plants that don’t stretch as much as others, I usually throw those pots on top of these two gallon pots I have that I never use, raises them about fifteen inches. Just a thought.... Things are looking real good, though. I love those thin-leaved ones you got going. Which ones are those? Matter of fact, if you don’t mind, maybe you could let us know which plants are which from back to front or something. I’m so intrigued haha!
Smells of cat piss for sure. I kind of wish I had topped these plants as my yield is sure to suffer but, at least I'll get to enjoy some colas. :)View attachment 776930
Thanks @Perception. Your plants are looking real nice as well.
As for the cat piss smell, it is something I have never smelled before with weed. Of course, I am a new farmer so that makes sense but I have decades of experience as a cannabis connoisseur and I don't ever remember thinking about cat-piss.lol There is no mistaking it though, you open the door to the tent and Bam! -smells like an unscented litter box with some rotting fruit thrown in...Yum! :yuck::happy:. I have a new carbon filter waiting if my old one can't keep up.
In The Rev's description of the Black Poison Skunk "The acrid cat piss smells of the Black Forrest combined with the super skunky terps of the Red Russian Skunk should make some of the smelliest cannabis you have ever grown"
One thing that concerns me a little with this gear is it's lack of resin at this time. It does have some frostiness but not a lot. It is only at 5 weeks though and they are all 9-10 week strains so, there is still time for that. We will see.
My pollinating experiment went well, I pollinated a couple branches of the Black Poison Skunk and Hemmy Black and 4 branches of the Dark Dragon with pollen from the Dark Dragon male. It'll be exciting to see how well the seeds develop and later grow.
My El Jefe Thai that I grew last round was by far the least frosty of all the plants I grew (Bodhi’s Clusterfunk and The Fuzz and Rare Dankness Tangerine Kush, along with the El Jefe). It’s the least sticky of all the plants, too, and the least potent, which actually doesn’t bother me too much. I don’t always want to get completely baked off my ass when I smoke. But I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with it. Every time I break up a bud, I find a shitload of undeveloped seed pods, too.
Which makes me wonder if one has to grow KOS genetics in The Rev’s soil mix to get truly optimal results. It’d make sense and that’s probably the case. Either way, I’m stoked to see y’all’s plants, @Perception and @goingtoguano They’re looking real good!
The frostiness is definitely coming in for me, although I have noticed that it’s much more pronounced on the plants that got to veg longer before being flipped to flower. The Rev recommends vegging his seeds for at least 55 days. My frosty plants were at or beyond 55 days. The plants that only got 40 days of veg are not as frosty.
First pic is darling Sativa, then coma cluster
