TheLazyFisherman Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 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) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 That biodyne causes ph issues quite often. Wouldnt be surprised if you experience the same issues if you keep using it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGalaxyFarm Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 would suggest biodyne for soil, not coco imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 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... 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGalaxyFarm Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) 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/ Edited January 16, 2023 by GreenGalaxyFarm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can really look after the LIFE in the soil it will blow your mind. And it improves with time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLazyFisherman Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Update. Since its not a proper auto i experimented a bit. Fimmed her, topped main grow tip 4 days later. All while still in the tent. Transferred her outdoors yesterday and looking happy. No pistils showing yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLazyFisherman Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) She's so short that i had to trim the bottom leaves to prevent them touching the coco and side of the pot. i haven't fed her yet other than initial Talborne pellets.

Is auto or photo active... but to my knowing.. there are no "un-proper" plants what is it? Did it not start to flower within 5 weeks.. then is most likely a to early release. Depending on genetics.. can be a gold mine you might want to keep a cut before it flowers.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fastbuds Zkittlez auto went full into flower about 5 weeks yes with lights out only during loadshedding. The Bulkseeds white prussian auto stayed in veg probably 7 weeks,once i moved outdoors it went into flower very quickly but towards the end we were in December i saw signs of revegging. I think you right on being early releases. I have 1 white prussian seed left.

TheLazyFisherman Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 I found that the microbes or most likely the activera breaks down the talborne too quick. Had nute deficiency after a few days heavy rain and had to give it some Biobizz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLazyFisherman Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 So the yard is overgrown with weeds so i never paid attention... Just find this surprise x2...clearly sativa dominant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLazyFisherman Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Will be clearing the weeds around them later. I'm surprised they survived the snails and grasshoppers. Edited March 12, 2023 by TheLazyFisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
