I only run in rich organics, where i add no additional microbes ever. I nurture the microherd. Even with the worm castings added, your medium is far from the organic foundation necessary. If i were you i wouldnt have added the worm castings, would use a salt based feed on that inert medium, or go a full organic route and build a proper soil if you dont like re-amending, and focus on the microherd with compost teas and or organic nutes such as biobizz. I grow in re-amended FF soils that have been re-amended over and over, since 2019, so 4 year old soil, and zero pH issues ever. But that's just me. Its either or, but not this blended approach. Its just too easy to stress plants this way...

So outdoor season 2 is starting to flower, after the mostly successful Pineapple Express last year, took my learnings and planted in a better spot. The girls this year is a @TotemicChocolate gelato and doing great. Germinated late October, transplanted into the bed 13 Nov with Dynomyco and Elemental blend, watered in with Explogro. Did a top dress the weekend of more elemental blend and work castings this weekend, as the zig-zagging of preflower is showing. Also took 6 cuttings and has 3 root like never before.

Activera should be enough enzymes.. and remember that you always have to pH coco. When I do pH, I do that with the solution the day before and let it rest over night, then check again before feeding.

Also very impressed with the budget LED light, rock hard dense nugs

So at it again. This time I'm going extra lazy. Will be starting in the tent and transferring it outdoors once established. So seed is planted directly in the pot/soil already. FF coco perl 70/30 + 25% worm castings (I wont ever use FF amended soils again due to ph issues) Biodyne 401 + Biobizz Activera ( just in the beginning to get microbial life and breakdown process going and maybe after heavy rain) Talbourne Vita grow (might add Talbourne flower or a PK boost of some sorts)

Wish i knew all the above before I rushed to plant

Veeeeery much agree ^^ mixing worlds makes diagnosis of issues way harder to figure out. Coco and Hydro you have to pH.. so why go biological? I personally wouldn't go Coco anyhow.. Hydro or Soil.. i don't do mix in between Hydro i run chemical and soil i run biological based fertilizers. Why make things complicated?

veg throw some amendments in your outdoor soil when you transplant, https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/elemental-earth-blend-10l/, also add some myco https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/myco-plantmatter-mycorrhizal-fungi-1-litre/, and kelp feed https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/umya-multi-kelp-500ml/. early flower add pk, https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/umya-carbon-p-k-1l/. amendment will require you start feeding some n at this point https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/seabird-guano-1l/ or https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/dynagro-8-2-6-liquid-plant-food-250ml/. flower add pk, https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/umya-carbon-p-k-1l/ with some https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/bat-guano-2kg/. late flower https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/bat-guano-2kg/ with https://marijuanasa.co.za/product/black-strap-molasses/

Thanks for letting me know What other option do I have? or should I just stick to worm casting for microbes?

That biodyne causes ph issues quite often. Wouldnt be surprised if you experience the same issues if you keep using it.

Self pollinating with STS to get seeds

So dried and trimmed weight is 81g, Not bad for my first auto run. I must say though, the ph lockout did have a knock on effect on the potency and terps...but it's still strong enough to get me properly goofed. Starting a outdoor run with white prussian again but not going to use FF seedling starter mix as its ph buffered. The rain water ph neutrality caused the previous outdoor Prussian soil to also go over ph8 runoff. From now on, I will only use FF clean coco and perlite and amend it as it's not ph buffered My next indoor run I will be selfing an auto, why should I pay seedbanks alot of money for seeds?

Bummer. Well at least you can collect some pollen if its worth breeding with.

would suggest biodyne for soil, not coco imo

selfing autos. what does this mean

BTW new lesson learned from this season, DON'T supercrop with the south easter blowing, lost 4 branches that got blown around and never had time to heal

load shedding 4/4 schedule is killing the crop, cant grow mothers outdoor though not even really growing outdoor this season unfortunately planned on indoor grow

goodluck to you who entered

Stoked for this. Got my ticket
