Day 66. Everything still running smoothly on the indoor grow. Not sure if I did defoliation correctly as the plant is about two weeks into flower. Some sites recon you can train three weeks into flower then let sleeping dogs lie. Whatever deficiency the leaves were showing seems to have sorted itself out. I'm happy. Outdoor plants at 54 days and one about two weeks younger. Standing at 900mm and looking healthy. I will be trying my best to leave these ladies alone and let them do their own thing. Standing at one indoor plant and two outdoors now. Yep, pulled another male this morning. Lost one germinating and two to being male. 50% hit rate. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk4 points

That is great news for me, the pruning was time consuming. 201g from a single plant... Sjoewee... Even your 136g is damn impressive. So I will undoubtedly NOT be pruning my autos anymore :) But I will have to revisit my airflow directed at the base of the plants. I installed little 180mm RAM oscillating fans but they not going to be powerful enough. I'm thinking of mounting box fans or similar directly above my QB bar lights. Should do the trick (and free up some floor space). Nice one. I've been looking into getting a nice sativa-dominant auto and Royal Gorilla is checking a lot of boxes. Thanks. It's on my short list. I also like the sound of Green Crack Auto from FastBuds.3 points

Here is another usefull piece of info for anyone who cares isolating and cultivating certain strains of microbes. Kombucha contains 2 strains of nitrogen fixing bacteria. One of them is a novel strain and only found in kombucha. I have seen one or two kombucha based products for plants on the internet, but they are certainly a novelty. I feel there is rich untapped potential in kombucha for foliar application purposes.3 points

Howzit good people. We at the end of week 4. Did a defoil yesterday. Had abit of some potassium issues with the MA2. But @CreX came through with some helpful flushing advise. Will monitor over the next week. Otherwise they looking good. Following the feeding chart. They on a full sunlight schedule now. Pistils have started apearing. And i had to put the new seeds in the growbox. Pics are in order. MA1, MA2, MA32 points

That would be great bro! If you can, use molasses instead of sugar for the brew. That will drastically up the lactobacilli count over acetobacter and gluconobacter. Using green tea up to 75% of the total tea with at least 25% minimum black tea, will also up the lactobacilli count. I use a brew of 50/50 black/green tea and molasses. The ratio I use is 125ml molasses and 2 tea bags per liter of water. I usually make a 3l ferment. Let this ferment go for double what you would if you were to drink the stuff. I go for a 2 week ferment and this concentrated booch can be diluted 1:100 for foliar application. The idea is that this booch should be on the lactobacilli heavy count, which should help establish the ideal microbiome on the leaves of the plant. I see no harm in applying this diluted probiotic mist every third day or so on plants in vegetative stage, to keep the population and dominance of beneficial microbes going. Some useful info from my notes: 1. Microorganisms in Kombucha ----------------------------- SCOBY (Medusomyces gisevii) - Symbiotic Culture Of Beneficial Yeast and Bacteria Acetic Acid Bacteria -------------------- A. xylium, A. pasteurianus, A. aceti, and Gluconobacter oxydans Gluconacetobacter sp. A4 - Key functional bacterial species Acetobacter. intermedius sp. nov - Novel nitrogen fixing Acetobacter nitrogenifigens sp. nov., and the nitrogen fixing, cellulose producing Gluconacetobacter kombuchae sp. nov., from kombucha tea. Dominant Bacteria in Kombucha - Gluconacetobacter @ 85% of Kombucha samples; Lactobacillus @ 30% of samples; Acetobacter only @ 2% Yeasts ------ A broad spectrum of yeasts has been reported including species of: Saccharomyces, Saccharomycodes, Schizosaccharomyces, Zygosaccharomyces, Brettanomyces/Dekkera, Candida, Torulospora, Koleckera, Pichia, Mycotorula, and Mycoderma. Yeasts of Saccharomyces species: Saccharomyces sp, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces bisporus, Saccharomycoides ludwigii, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Zygosaccharomyces sp., Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Zygosaccharomyces bailii Brettanomyces: Brettanomyces intermedius, Brettanomyces bruxellensis, B. claussenii Predominant yeasts in most samples: Brettanomyces, Zygosaccharomyces, and Saccharomyces spp Ascosporogenous yeast, Zygosaccharomyces kombuchaensis sp. n.

I've made kefir in the past as well, but you really need access to a good source of raw milk for it to be a proper ferment. Pasturized stuff from the store is dead and the kefir takes too long to complete the ferment which then ends up being watery and very acidic. Milk kefir should be the consistency of thick drinking yoghurt and it should ideally achieve that in 30 hours or less. Havnt gone back to kefir as I have no easy access to raw milk in the city.2 points

I can try test a bit of Kumbucha foliar feeding, how would you dilute and prepare the bucha before the application? Milk kefir has beneficial microbes when added to the soil or compost. Back in the day i brewed a bit of compost tea, but now i prefer extracts, leechates, ferments and simple seed sprout water. Molasses is a great additive for any plant grown in soil, simply mixed in when watering it helps improve the soil life.2 points

Excellent topic @Candyman! You have provided a ton of great info! A bit much for the time I have to reply! While I agree that anything with some applied perfection will always be better than something you unknowingly slap together. But not everyone can brew the perfect tea to suit their needs... So a guestimate gamble is all we have. Reading the bacteria and fungi content of what you add to your teas is a good step in the knowing direction, which cuts down on some guesswork... But grabbing a good chunk of earth from a flourishing environment doesn't have an ingredient list... So it's hard to be scientific about it... I hear you, you will have a greater margin of success if you know what's going into your tea... And likewise if you don't have any idea what you are doing, the risk of adding something dodge is very high.2 points

Okay I see what you are saying. This applies to the list of disease cautioned amendments, to name some, highly controversial bat guano, all guano’s for that matter. Bone meal is another one, obviously due to our “super sustainable” approach of supporting life here on earth. Even the bones are fucked. So these are some of the organic but potentially dangerous substances, all valid points ☝ People are also against using the same ingredients in their soils because of disease etc, so I definitely see your argument. It’s a concern and rightly so. I personally use a very simply tea recipe, and alters ever so slightly throughout the phases of growth. I amend my soil, So I rely on my teas to act as the catalyst to effectively release the much needed nutritional potential with in. An example of my flowering tea, 5l concentrate. Will bubble 1 level tbs molasses bubble for 24h, then add a 1tsp of microbes (haven't looked at the label because @SkunkPharm gave it to me.) SOCK INGREDIENTS - 1 tsp Alfa Alfa meal, 1 tsp kelp meal, 1/2 cup blended malted barley... bubble for 24 hours more and end it off with 1/4 tsp of my Humic/fulvic/kelp micronized blend (premixed in 1/2 L of water) below - this is bundling up 100s of the micro nutrients and teaming it up with the super chelator properties of the Humic and fulvic acids, these are known as the intermediate chelators, the missing link for many nutrient uptake problems. I don’t plan on bubbling guano anytime soon.2 points

Na, I stopped doing anything beside LST. We did a few tests with all different techniques.. the ones we left alone, won in yield. Friend holds our grow record, done nothing at all beside feeding, pulled 201g from one amnesia haze auto. I stand at 136g from my biggest auto so far. Bit behind ^^ but I hover around 2-2.5g per watt. Also had a quick read.. I still have the smoke result to type The weed.. the left overs ^^ .. now curing since August. The smoke is very smooth and the taste hard to describe. Nothing extreme, nothing boring, you enjoy every puff of it. The over all effect is more on the giggly side and the first part is more on the energizer side.. like a sativa should be. If you finish the joint and tell yourself, wow, that was a nice puff, I could go with another one. The next you might experience is lifting your head from the bed, check the clock and say UPSSS... you lost some hours. Was no late harvest, bit before, so the weed can kick you rather hard. I will get me some more seeds.. could very easy happen, that I want to stock up, once my last Jar is empty. A very giggly weed. To the strain.. light canape variation, rest, I couldn't really taste a huge difference between plants. They ended a bit all the same, what is nice.. you always get what you plant. So I give it a Thumps Up If you look for a Sativa kick with the possibility to change it in a insomnia cure, the Royal Gorilla from Royal Queen Seeds is for you I know.. I just woke up2 points

Thank you so much Bob. I replied to your DM. Like I said, I'm still very much excited to get some Gardener's Delight going, so I'm going to try germinating directly in coir pots and see how that turns out.2 points

Hey Candyman, sorry to see you are having problems with our seeds. We will definitely replace your beans or give you a refund. I'll DM you next. This is the first we have heard of germination issues this season and we appreciate any feedback we get. We have run germination tests recently on Gardeners Delight and had 28/30 pop successfully and are now healthy plants growing at a rapid rate. I have forwarded your post to Stu (our genetics dude) and will update you as soon as I have his feedback as to what could have gone wrong. Our seeds are from the 2019/20 grow season, harvested in March this year. For reference, the attached images below show our latest test grow. The seeds were planted 0.5-1cm below soil and germinated directly in the coir pots, without a pre-soak as the pots sitting in water keep them moist enough. First signs of them popping was after 4 days. We prefer this method as we don't have to worry about damage during transplant and the tap root gets a chance to properly take hold. We then put the coir pot and seedling directly in the soil. This method has worked a treat. I will be running tests next week using the method you used. Sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment, hopefully we can make up for it. iRiE Bob2 points

Thanks guys, appreciate the replies. I will definitely make contact with the breeder and let him know of my failures. This morning, I decided to check on the two seeds that germinated, but were still below ground. I carefully removed them from the soil and rinsed them. This is a week since they germinated and were transferred to soil. They look like the day I took them from the paper towel. They are completely stunted. So out of 6 seeds that I started with, I have two that successfully made it to the seedling stage. I'm still waiting on the 2 Diesoline seeds as well. No sign of popping and it's been more than 72 hours. Seems like this is turning into another Swazi hybrid grow for me....2 points

Would like to hear you guys input on this. I've been reading up a lot about compost teas (AACTs) and I'm finding quite a bit of conflicting and illogical information out there. I found out that the scientific authority on the matter is a lady by the name Dr. Elaine Ingham and I found her research and material on the subject fascinating. However, I feel that there is a great divide between what she is scientifically presenting through her research and studies and what the industry is doing with that information. For example, it seems that everyone in the industry is using molasses in their compost teas, while Dr. Ingham is usually not in favor of using molasses, as that feeds the bacteria and they are the ones that mostly multiply on the molasses, while the fungi are not fed by the molasses and don't get the chance to multiply and grow. So you end up with a bacteria heavy compost tea, which is not nearly as beneficial as a compost tea heavy in fungal growth and activity. Dr. Elaine suggest using humic acid to feed the beneficial microorganisms in compost tea and not molasses. She also has videos on how to DIY some humic acid. Then there is another point about knowing what exactly it is that you are cultivating when brewing compost teas. I came across a professional in the cannabis industry that summed up AACTs by saying that you are either busy cultivating life or you are busy cultivating disease. If you do not have the means to check under a microscope exactly what microbial life you are cultivating with AACT's, how do you know what is going onto your plants? I found this conversation on the subject and it changed my mind about AACT's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF2EML4rWAg The main reason why I am just as uncomfortable using aact's as these people are, is I have a been a hobbyist brewer and distiller for quite a while and have a bit of knowledge on fermentations. I have also seen fermentations go bad due to contamination from outside pathogens and microbial life and what I see people do on the internet, taking raw compost and brewing that in actively aerated water for extended periods of time allowing microbial life to grow and multiply, does not sit well with this brewer. I also see a big misconception among these people about what aerobic and anaerobic fermentations are. An anaerobic fermentation has no access to oxygen at all. Usually, the fermentation vessel for an anaerobic fermentation is capped and sealed air tight and fitted with a CO2 lock or bubbler. This allows CO2 to escape without allowing any oxygen into the fermentation vessel. If any oxygen is allowed into the fermentation vessel, it cannot be called and anaerobic fermentation. This is then called an aerobic fermentation, meaning air and oxygen is allowed to come into contact with the ferment. So running an air pump through your compost tea does not make it an aerobic fermentation, it was aerobic to start off with and it will still be an aerobic fermentation without actively aerating it, unless you seal the fermentation vessel from air. Kombucha is a perfect example of an aerobic fermentation, needing access to oxygen to grow and multiply. In contrast a sugar wash for a high alcohol ferment will require an anaerobic fermentation with no access to oxygen. I'm now in the process of making my own fermented fertilizer to replace the function of compost teas and extracts. There have been many studies done on using Rum stillage as a natural organic fertilizer on sugar cane fields. It's full of minerals and is a really good fertilizer. It's very high in potassium, sulfates and calcium especially. But there is no microbial life in rum stillage after the distillation process is complete. Everything has been killed by the heat. This mineral rich stillage is though the perfect substrate to cultivate further microbial life. You just need the proper inoculant relevant to your purpose. My plan is simple. I'm going to use kombucha to inoculate and re-ferment this stillage. If my theory is sound, it should be a fertilizer bomb teeming with beneficial microbial life in high concentrate. Especially using molasses as substrate for the kombucha as that will increase lactobacilli growth instead of acetobacter growth. Should be able to use this fertilizer 1:100 dilution with water for foliar applications and 1:50 for soil. Any thoughts?1 point

Bit of an update... I'll have to order some coir pots. I don't have a local supplier that carries stock. In the meantime, I still have some seeds so today I sowed 4 DG Gardeners Delights Seeds and 4 DG Diesoline Seeds directly into small plastic cups with fresh germination mix. The two DG GD seedlings that survived round 1 are coming along nicely. For ease of record keeping I renumbered them to DG-GD #1 and DG-DG #2 according to their germination date and will now follow with the other 4 that I have planted today as well as the 4 Diesoline seeds. The other 2 Diesoline seeds that went onto paper towel on the 11th, haven't pop yet and I'm not holding my breath. DG-GD#1 (right) and #21 point

Yeah, I guess that's the bottom line of what I'm trying to say. People should be more aware and take care as to what goes into their brews and ferments. If you are going to be cultivating life, you should probably get to know those life forms and their role and function in the soil food web, because that is the foundation of what living organic soil is all about.1 point

I gave the TK origin plants a tidy up this morning after pruning them severely two days ago. The white stuff on the leaves is residue from the foliar treatment for pests, which I am now doing every second day (BT and Bioinsek).The first one is Holly, who was fimmed by the red locust initially.This second one is Molly, still coming out of the abnormal growth from the garlic spray suffocation.The next plant is DWD, growing strong in a tent until she fattens off nicely.I have the LC-18 x TK in a small pot, hardening off and recovering from a wind blasting a few nights ago (not pictured here).I took my Banana Blaze auto out her pot and put her in hydro because the stem was too damaged from the wind. I hope it doesn't rot off now. It was a last ditch attempt to get her to stand up on her own again (not pictured here).The mystery purple plant lives on. I didn't have the heart to cull it (not pictured here).I am playing food by ear. I have given SST, LABs and Seagrow. I will feed a bit more with Seagrow I think. I also think the new growth is looking good and any leaf damage is old now. I don't know if it is Brix or pesticide or both, but there is little insect damage these days.1 point

@Prom Great! Ya it looks amazing, thanks for confirming. I like to smoke in the daytime mostly (keep me focused! haha), so I prefer a more energetic vibe. Then sometimes for restless nights, I may keep smaller reserve of a more indica dominant strain, late harvest. So far the AK x Critical Mass from Canuk has been really tasty, a little cerebral in the beginning, with a relaxing vibe soon after. A little chocolate on the palate, which I love. Anyway I could talk about this all day! Haha.... Thanks man, and well done on this grow! Always good to learn!1 point

Hey Cannafam Sorry about the lack of updates on this grow, life has been super busy and I havent been able to give the ladies the attention they needed. But trying to get things back on track the last few weeks. Been setting up a sort of Greenhouse/garden home for the ladies as well as some additional plants I will post some pics of the garden home in the next update or 2 and you guys can give me some feedback on it As for the ladies, I think its about 11 weeks in since the sprouted. Sunset Sherbet She has impressed me the most with the growth overall. Banana Kush This lady has some strange growth. A few of the new growth a few weeks ago, almost came out like it was under developed in a way. So those few little bottom branches, I ended up breaking off to allow her to focus on the rest of the plant. Bruce Banner This lady is short and bushy. I decided to do a very Slight LST on the bottom branches, just to allow as much airflow and sunlight onto the rest of the plant. But overall, I have been really enjoying the grow. All three ladies have started shooting their pistils out and starting to get a new aroma Now that they have been in the garden enclosure, the smell is hanging around in there nicely As for my test subject. Do you think she is ready to harvest? I tried to get the best pics of the trichomes but my photo skills are shocking haha Please let me know your guys thoughts on whether to chop her or leave her. It almost looks like she is trying to start growing again? At the end of a few bottom branches, she has sprouted more shoots in a way. Googled it, it is possible that its fox tailing? But I have no idea1 point

That is awesome info. Thanks for the help Bob. Let's try again and see if a fresh start helps. I'm currently busy prepping everything to get some seeds in coir cups and I realized that there is a possibility that some water I mixed for a foliar spray for some other plants, got used to mist the soil after transplanting the seeds initially. This only contained water and some kelp extract at recommended dilution levels for foliar application. I might have forgotten that I put some kelp extract in and used this thinking it's only water. Can the hormones in kelp cause the stunted behavior I experienced? Anyway, it might have happened, but it is definitely not something I ever do to seeds or very young seedlings.1 point

I started learning about AACT mainly from this guy who made this book who is a weed grower that started contributing knowledge on Overgrow and ICmag forums in the early 2000s. And I have some experience in making and testing over the years. I found that when making AACT you want to mainly make food that the fungus and bacteria in your medium can consume live or dead. I don't care too much about AACT giving fungal benefits to my soil, I can get the fungal component by using mushroom compost and other organic ammendments that fungus likes to eat. In AACT you wont be able to multiply fungal count very easily - only grow existing count to larger mass... it just seems way better for multiplying bacteria. Short brew seems way better than extended brew. Waiting for a large amount of foam seems like bro science and I'm happy with a thin film of activity. I like to inoculate with worm castings in a stocking. Using indigenous microbes cultured from a place in the garden or a forest floor seems more risky to me so I stick with worm castings. I add a tiny bit of black strap molasses or sometimes Biobizz grow product which is basically fermented sugar beets and molasses. Benefits include competing for space on the plant surfaces when you foliar spray, edging out pathogens like powdery mildew. It also accelerates the speed at which the microbes break down the organic material into chelates that the roots can uptake. Key tips: Don't brew for too long, pH test your brew at beginning and don't let it rise too much before you use it. Ambient temperatures can speed up the process.1 point

I hear you man. On face value I agree with you, but the problem is, the "precisely" part you are mentioning in your post. Here is my opinion, as well as that of many knowledgeable people in the industry, including people that now work in the Cannabis industry that used to work with Dr. Ingham and her research. To quantity and establish exactly what you are cultivating in your compost teas, so that you can make a recipe that is "precise" in the microbial constituency for exactly what the soil and plants require, you need to at least be able to have a look through a microscope and identify the microbial life that you have cultivated. Why is this important? Well, not all microbes are equal. In fact, they are probably the most diverse makeup of organisms on the face of the earth and people start getting into cultivating microbial life without having a basic understanding of what strains of microbes, bacteria, fungi, yeast etc. they are cultivating, because just as there are many microbes that are beneficial to plant health, there are also those that are detrimental, dangerous or pathogenic. Take for example E. Coli and Salmonella. There is a very real probability that these can be present in compost. Homemade compost from kitchen scraps can even be contaminated with other bacteria and pathogens like Listeria. Al of these microbes are serious disease causing in their nature and has no benefits to the soil or your plants. On the contrary, they can cause the soil to become disease infested and pest ridden. What people do not know, is that E. Coli, Salmonella and Listeria for example, are all types of bacteria that can easily switch between anaerobic and aerobic environments. Meaning, given the right conditions they can and will multiply and grow aerobically and anaerobically. So you cannot prevent them from multiplying and growing by the fermentation method used. Again, people are being told that active aerated compost teas cannot cultivate bad bacteria. This is straightforward false and unscientific. Normally the levels of these bacteria, if present in compost, will never be a serious problem if you just use the compost as a soil amendment or mulch. That is because the conditions should never be favorable enough for them to thrive and dominate the other microbes present. But, with the wrong composition of microbes and organic matter in your compost, you could easily start cultivating disease and not even realize it until it might be too late. Lastly, another important aspect to remember. When brewing microbial life, a sort of glue like substance is formed to bond microbes together. This is beneficial when using a ferment or brewed tea as a foliar application. The glue like substance make the microbes stick to the leaves and they can form barriers of protection against other harmful microbes, but the downside is that when adding your compost tea to the soil, most of the microbes will stick to the surface of the soil. They will not get down to the roots of your plants. For that purpose, you should use a compost extract that is not brewed, but rather the microbes are dislodged in the water by hand extraction and then added to the soil. Compost extraction does not cultivate microbes, so your microbial composition should be balanced and healthy for the soil and plants. Does compost teas work? Absolutely, if done precisely right. Personally, I do not have the ability to quantify and identify the microbial life that is being cultivated and would rather opt to stay on the safe side and use alternatives.1 point

I think I get a better overview with the F2.

If your beans don't pop after 48 hours... they are not the freshest seeds. Also check how you store your own seeds. Vacuum container, fridge.. you can also freeze them gentle. Seeds from a seed bank run a bit with a "protection", at least the good ones do it. I buy 10 and have 1-2 duds.. I accept it in general. But if I have more fails.. I usually let them know and the only response you should get is: we send the replacement seeds to the same address? If you buy seeds, don't feel shy to tell them, if the seeds are not doing as they should. I had a bad batch once from Nirvana (marijuanaseeds.co.za) and they replaced me the full amount seeds I bought and send to me the same day I wrote the complain. The time you lost will always be the annoying part.1 point

Ferments are good, but I doubt it will ever get better than a fresh tea made precisely the way the grow wants it. Not too sure where the harm would be in creating a microbe filled amendment, and unpacking said natural amendment once used, and top dressing soil accordingly. Well this is what would make sense to myself. Or maybe throwing it in the garden, whop whop. If people are using teas in conjunction to a feeding programs with NUTES. Maybe they wouldn’t see the benefits of topdressing But they definitely should if the program can handle that release. Teas are usually fungi or bacteria dominant. Doesn’t mean bacteria are the bad guys, I think this is better understood with either symbiotic microbial life and well not so symbiotic. If you putting majority of the good in teas, not sure where the same amount of bad would come from without intention. And to go without noticing is also quite impossible. Very much believe in teas and their benefits. But would love to see what you come up with and how it goes ☝1 point

Hi Candy, Dr Elaine has nice examples and facts in general. Chris Trump with his KNF also very interesting guy.

I agree 100%, makes it much more affordable. As a group you grow out all seeds, find the best pheno and then share it within the group.

We didn't have high expectations but agreed it was worth a shot seeing as you were already sending me other gear. Well bro... Roots roots roots. So 420sa this is proof that if you want to donate a few cuts to other members you don't need to go thru the whole cloning process and special packaging. A ziplock bag and some wet leaves is all you need.1 point
