Update DS finally pushing pistils only beginning of week 5! Note to self: try to not grow the stretchiest of strains right next to the most compact of strains without taking necessary measurments now I got the most uneven canopy ever and it looks bad, the Blueberry Hashplant is gona finish sooner than the Deluxe Sugarcane, but it's right at the back and the DS in front is creating a wall blocking the BHP in, harvest time gona be a bit of a struggle. they're under a net too fuk

Goodmorning, hope all is well and in good health! These ladies been living on nothing but 500ml clean water every second day, there should be more than enough food in the soil to not have to add nutrients, I am trying to keep them from growing too much as my flower tent still has its ways to go! still have a few spots on the leaves here and there, only thing I did that was out of the ordinary, I added some garden phosphate to the soil before transplanting so that's my main suspect at the moment.

The girls got their first round of bondage tonight.. took it easy as it's my first time playing dominatrix. Before During After Now that I have some chains on them I will tighten gradually and keep them towing the line.

5 and a half weeks. Started Feeding about 10 days ago. I started supporting most of the plants now. A couple of the is looking reel good.

Perfect timing at flowering. Now its down to which one to choose...

So finally got round to retiring the 50w mica “veg” spotlights. Splashed out for a 130w growopz light, length wise ona. 1m heatsink to cover the vegging space lekker now. Baby vostoks are up, and a couple of @Bay Seeds Mc purple x lemon Jedi clones from the egg and one forbidden candy clone gifted by a friend on top Bottom is a Vostok x Pineapple Express going great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey bro. Hope all is good in the hood there. How is the project coming along? Would love an update. I tried my hand at some golden oyster mushrooms and it came out kick ass. Went super nicely with a pasta.

@Bay SeedsStrawberry Vostok F2 Autoflower. 3 plants from 5 seeds. First casualty grew upside down. Couldn't save it. Second casualty I just killed. Don't ask. So I'd say germination rate 100%. Plants going on 2 weeks old now and looking healthy.

Really making sure no bugs even touch your plants

The Amino mix I use, if added to a res with air stones turns to a weird sludge / gel, similar to a kombucha scoby, in particular around the air stone. Not sure whether it is a good or bad thing, however it will clog pipes on automatic watering systems and also stops your airstones from working properly. You need to peel that stuff off the airstones and then try clean it up still.

I hope so too, ya its loooooonnggg, but i'm in no rush.

13 weeks tho! almost 100 days in flower yo! i found this one guy on the Gram, and he has this laaaaaaanky plant thats been flowering for 150+ days !! I hope shes worth it man!

I like it, very fast growing plant, I can think of a few ways to grow it better. The plant needs more magnesium than other plants. I have been feeding since week 10, did small amounts of molasses, microbes, aminos, Epsom's and fulvic.

Not much to update here on week 10, been a slow 2 weeks, but cant blame the plants, its been hot and yucky lately. The Ginger tea is finishing up nicely, might get the chop sooner and SSC slower behind, but is a huge plant and is still maintaining good health, so I don't have a reason to cut her yet. Will probably let them go another week or 2

New on the menu, we have… @SkunkPharm Boomhuys strains - Wilson zero (Oni seeds) x Lotus head (Bodhi seeds) - Wilson zero (Oni seeds) x Slurricane (In-house genetics) @Totemic - Sugar Widow (Deluxe sugar cane x white widow) As always, excited for these. Let’s see what happens

4 weeks about, the SSC and Ginger tea have settled the stretch I think. The extraction fan has moved outside the tent and temps are ranging between 26 - 31, they are still only getting water. They are very happy so i'm not stressed about the hot days just yet. Will be going away for the festive season so I will be gone for a week. When I leave I will be putting the lights down significantly, atm they are almost full blast. SSC Ginger tea DQxSlurri Short #thebeast! Dqxslurri tall Bubalicious (average) Then new Genetics! Sherb Crasher, Animal Cookies, Quattro Kush , Jelly Breath - All thanks to @SkunkPharm and GG#4 All the best for the festive season, Enjoy the time with your families

Week 3 done. Strawberry sugar cookies is a stretcher of note, broke some of the lanky branches to manage the canopy better. Ginger tea is well behind, but she will be taken care off.

Dos veggies are coming along nicely. Ended up removing one of the cherry tomato plants for space. Cayenne chillis and the baby peppers need some tlc. Tomato's are actually fruits

Whooooohoooo, I found my pheno, I'm keeping this plant around for a while i'm sure, she is still going and going fast. Frost enough, smells like gluey, sour, on the back of what was is surely icky funky stank, the gas is very subtle, almost gone. Very unique, nothing like the slurri now which i'm not mad about. Calyx pushing beautifully, if I updated 10 days ago, she knows where she is going. I cant imagine more than 3/4 weeks, however white pistols for days so we will see. And then im in 5 days flower. and the Jack herer was a male, so no update there, other dqxslurri is slow so we will see.

Update, dqxslurri got a small Defol, the short pheno is standing out nicely. Smelling fine, quite similar to slurri, some sweet some gas.Will be flipping the bed Tuesday night.

I did post this before, But I wasn't happy with the PDF option, so I had capture the page. As I said a while ago, I've got my Soil Test to share, this test is on the soil that is amended along the lines of the soil recipe. Its a diverse mix but has also depleted itself of good/basic structure over the time, will be introducing some aeration of sorts. I would definitely recommend Kaya farms for the soil testing options, I waited about a month or so as there were hiccups, but I gotta commend them on their feedback and time taken to explain the issues, I have a couple things that need to be addressed, but overall quite happy with the results. This was after a re-amend. There is stats on the paste test and the extract test. Some issues I need to look at. - Soluble salts are quite high for after a harvest which he mentioned, but I did say this was after a re-amend, between 1000 - 1500 is fine. - Sodium and chloride need to be leached from the soil. - Phosphorus is not high enough on the paste test, although the extract test says abundance, can be taken with a pinch of salt and not add anymore Phos. - Calcium can be higher - Base cations magnesium and potassium too high, this might be because I add too much worm casting in my original mix - Exchangeable hydrogen very low (have not added aeration in a while or always in the least amount). - Also a small amount of extra nitrogen can be added as well. - Trace elements needing to be brought into balance. Iron, manganese and copper ... he suggested using sulfates to bring these levels up. I am still deciding. The argument is not about keeping it full organic, which it would be if these forms of trace elements are used and a test can provide proof of low levels. Because in actual fact, the main production proof of the most robust systems would be - in a field or greenhouse or living soil, the Co2 loss from the ground because overall its a more intricately connected system. Which the plants breathe in and that births higher productivity. So in essence, the more the plant can photosynthesize, via filling gaps in the chain, this being micro nutrients, the more exudates are pumped out stimulating more microbial growth. At the moment plants are in this soil, so I will not be adding any of these yet. I will be doing a test soon on the big bed and see where those levels are.

I have the same Apple Jax cut which is growing beautifully. How would I know that its going to hermie apart from leaving it until it happens? I see what you saying, if you are certain the cut has been grown out and does not hermie, then likely its stable. The 2 Apples Jax plants I was growing was from seed bud.

Small update, looks like we vegging abit longer for the strawberry sugar cookies (on top) and the ginger tea ( below) the apple Jax got the chop. Not keen on dealing with hermies and it’s most likely the case the dqslurri are doing well, abit slower than usual but I think the hours aren’t doing them any good. So they will be inside with the Jack herer and bubalicious. Going on 12hours today

Good morning Peoples. So its been 3 weeks about. The 2 Apples Jax phenos got me biting my fingernails, I'm going with it and hoping for the best. If they hermie, I will try spot it early and cut them down. @Totemic Sugar cookies growing very well. So is the ginger tea. A bit of Aphid or Thrips pressure but not stressed about it. Hope you enjoy the scroll. The DQxSlurris are looking good, about 3 or so weeks into flower. I'm going to finish them indoors so they get enough dark hours, those along with the 1 of each - Jack herer and Bubalicious females I found. 0 Veggie Garden going well, was late to plant the Chillis and Baby peppers but they finally made into the soil.

Whookay, no going back now. So as per the last bit of information the 4 plants in the tent now are the ones i'm most happy about in-terms of structure. The others didn't really make the cut. Crazy Hazey looks more like crazy indica. Anyways both Apple Jax phenos looking very similar and prominent, Nice and tight nodes but also grabbing some height for now. Starting to push out quite a few leaflets. Ginger tea doing the same, took her a while to get happy but she doing okay. Then the sugar cookies, this plant is growing exactly like the delux sugarcane, only plant showing magnesium deficiencies just like sugarcane, also very similar leaf and plant structure. They will live out the rest of their life in this 65gallon bed, its on the second round now and been re-amended via a very careful and calculated thumb suck. Here is Crazy Indica The Jack Herers and Bubalicious regulars received some water and must face the great outdoors now until I can sex them. This is the furthest i've gotten with any other plants other than cannabis so don't laugh lol, Roma Jam tomatos, Cherry tomatoes, Long Cayenne peppers and baby peppers.

Yeah same here, many people have said its an all time favourite so i'm definitely keen to hopefully find a good female, and she will be outside this summer along with the rest of the other females I get. Only 4 fems will stay in the tent. 2 Apple jax, Ginger tea and Sugar cookies.

Curious to see how the JH's turn out! One of my all time favourite strains to grow.

The plants are doing well. Hoping to find out sex soon, another Jack herer made it through so it will get a chance at life I guess. Dq x slurris outside, sugar cookies imaged below and standing out

Been a while but I’ll come back to this thread with whats new. Got some new babies going, list below Inhouse genetics - Apple Jax x 2 Archive genetics - Crazy Hazy x 1 Archive genetics - Ginger tea x 1 Totemic - Sugar cookies x 1 Dream queen x slurri regs x 3 above popped and then... next to them. Nirvana Bubalicious x 3 regs Jack Herer x 3 regs above yet to pop

This images shows off a bit more of the fade.

The fade on that Slurri is so pretty. Good job!

Zurple Punch All Gas #9 Spumoni (Chopping this weekend) ] Slurricane (also getting chopped) (first time grow, finished 8 weeks, now in 13 weeks. Definitely stunted when trying to fix the soil, but happy how she finished regardless)

Blunicorn nearing the end at 8 weeks tomorrow, nice outdoor expression.

Good stuff bro

SUGARCANE - Almost forgot, crossing fingers here.

I also missed this. I have just found an obscure reference to this thread elsewhere on the site, which is what led me to it. I find it quite hard to see who is growing what on this interface. It would be nice if there was a list of journals on each person's public info. Good luck with the harvest. Those buds look great.

How on earth did I miss this! Enjoyed scrolling through your grow log so far. Beautiful genetics you got there!

Couldn't agree more! Cheers man! And thanks for that lekke comment!

Thanks man, do appreciate that!

Congrats on a working soil mix, those buds look delicious. Takes time, effort and knowledge to build a good living soil, but the rewards at the end of the day make it worthwhile.

Hi @420SA Yes this was the first soil I mixed, its about 8 months old. Its remnants of my soil from July 2020. The soil has been reamended over time by feel which is completely the wrong way to go about it, Soil testing is a must in future. I couldn't agree with you more, I thought I'd be getting some of the same effect from the grit but not nearly as available as dolomite/limestone in the medium. Yes I cook the soil for about 1 1/2 months.

Dankie my maat! Doesn't seem like many people have the time to understand plant nutrition, but why would you want to if there are so many easier ways around it. Ill be the first to admit there are way too many flaws in this soil, the potential for living soil is so huge! So ill be ever so slightly reamending these pots and growing chillies and tomato's and some other veggies outside. Mixed up a sphagnum peat moss based living soil that I'm dead eager to plant into soon.

Welldone on your succesfull soil build, it's not as easy as some may think. Looks like some noice weight on those buds Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

On week 12 today, had much fun with this grow. A few branches are laying on their side but managed to support the majority. Either ill be harvesting over the weekend or next weekend, thinking best to leave them be another week. The soil I'm using is made up of the following - Coco peat / Perlite / Vermiculite / Vermi-compost / Activated Charcoal / Alfalfa meal / Kelp meal / Soft Rock phosphate / Rock dust / Humigro / Bone meal / Seabird guano / Bat guano / Bird grit / Aloe meal / Diatomaceous earth / Mycorrhizal mix / Insect frass / Neem powder - Topped dressed a few other amendments to correct deficiencies along the way. The only issue with having more sources of nutrients in your soil is that it complicates the final balance and potential synergistic relationships you are trying to achieve with the microbes. Needless to say, I'm glad the plants/microbes were able to overcome my imbalances with a little bit TLC, and a few tweaks here and there to achieve a balance. Hope the pics are a little better, been slacking on the photo-graphics Have a champion weekend farmers!

Week 6 ... halfway line, there and there about.
