orgasoilux - every bag is a little different. I've heard reports of plants toasting in that soil, but lately it's been more positive. you can use clean water till first sign of deficiency. I wouldn't put a seedling directly in orgasoilux, I'll pop it in sphagnum or rockwool then move over to orgasoilux when they're just a bit bigger than the plants in your photos. also use the orgasoilux just as it is, don't add stuff, it's already fully loaded. only thing you can use is a healthy dose of microbes when transplanting and that's it. clean water, you'll be able to get the plant to above your knees or "ready to flower" size on just water and the nutrients in the soil. first time you feed will be before flowering so you'll wana go for Biobizz fish mix at that point and when you flip over to flower you obviously gona start giving bloom nutes, but switch the Fish out for the Grow, as the Grow has more sugar for the microbes and you want less N at that point and more P and K. when reamending the Orgasoilux I would recommend emptying all your pots into a 100L bin or pot, dump 10L of jamies elemental blend in there, work it through, water it, let it stand for about a month to two months, then you got yourself a super soil there. that elemental blend is fucking

This is when my winter grow started showing signs of spotting. I am using the same soil (Orgasoilux) but it is used soil which I have amended. I will be bloody furious if this happens again. I planted the sprouts in ordinary spent potting soil but now that they have been up-potted they are in the amended soil mix and their roots have in all likelihood ventured into the amended soil. The frustrating part is that Jamie Garner grows the most incredible plants in his soil. Has anyone else experienced trouble with the Orgasoilux? The Lavender Best showed the leaves starting to crisp at 8 days old. The Bruce Banner 2 at 17 days. The Caramel King at 25 days The Wedding Cake at 24 days RR XXL Auto SK Auto

Thank you N.P. I planted the sprouts in spent potting soil and then transplanted the seedlings at 12 days into orgasoilux. The plants are autos. I have decided against photos given the intensifying load shedding I have put this solution into my reservoirs: Byodyne Environoc 401 (microbes), Mycorrhizae, Humic and Fulvic Acid with Kelp, and Seagro. I was planning to switch to Bloom as soon as they show flower. I have Biobizz Bloom.

When winter comes around again you should really invest in a cover crop like buckweed, alfalfa, white clover or red clover. It will just keep improving the soil and help it to hold more and more moisture. You will need about 5kg of seeds per hectare and pick a rainy week to seed as much as you can. You could get that soil dark and alive in a year or two. Btw i would kill for a tunnel like that.

@Stinky Pete have you seen that "kiss the soil" documentary? I wont keep hammering on, but please do a background check on the impact the sourcing, manufacturing and use of synthetic nutrients has on our planet and everything that lives on it. I know this conversation always leads to "show proof" and "we want a link to research that's valid" so I go one step ahead of myself and drop them here few PHD and master degree holders on this one https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331132826_The_Impact_of_Chemical_Fertilizers_on_our_Environment_and_Ecosystem here is another https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327794401_Nitrate_and_Nitrite_in_Health_and_Disease here is a link that'll give you a pdf with some more info https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/docs/contaminants/nitratmethemog.pdf

Spots developing on new leaves. I have moved the light further away and fed the roots some calmag from the top. The light was at 650 PPFD and is now at 490 PPFD. RR XXL Auto SK Auto

She's ready. Chop time. Chopping Prussian too...showing signs of revegging, k@k genetics

Quick update, the plants have now done their stretch and are flowering nicely. The Gelato x Kmints x Runtz have stretched all the way up to about 1.7m tall. I've slowly stared defoliating, however I won't be taking off to much, as long as there is airflow and the bud sites have direct light, I'm happy. My next update should include some nice bud shots.

What a mission. Bud rot... revegging... too much rain... too much light. All the other weed just overgrow my garden without doing anything Perhaps the strain is not fit for these endless rains in Durban. Never had any issues with Swazi Gold, just left it outside in November and it came out perfect after a few months. Anyway, I cut the crap off and keep it out of the rains for now. Thaks for the input guys
