@NotAquaMan If you have space to run bubblers the teas are pretty easy....but the neem tea will percolate your basement with neem. I dont mind it but its as strong as the smell of incense or garlic but neither of those smells..

:D

I just converted but i started with bagged living soil so the work was done i just paid for it.

It can be as simple as soil....dry amendments...water. from start to finish.

I have been reading up on watering practices...the recommendations from buildasoil are helping me to do a much better job of proper watering procedures with living soil

5% to 10% of volume is all living soil needs...a 3 gallon container needs just over 2 cups of water to be watered (600 ml to 1200 ml)


Bad watering practices got me in shit even with coco. So its time to fix all that.

Thanks @OldG I was looking at going terp tea and cal mag in coco.... thoughts? I do feel more comfortable in a soiless or hydro environment and pure hydro would be a pita. .

@OldG G wanted this post moved to his thread
This turned out to be pretty fantastic hash. I say that a lot.

What really blows my mind is the complexity of flavor that develops when you tightly wrap it and jar it away for 30 or 60 days.

The gummiest hash i ever made. It still pulls like heated glass into a beautiful noodle. Subtle as a 10 pound maul.

It was going along ok and then BOOM

But its gone today. Maybe TODAY is a good day to unload a bunch of material from the freezer. Frozen green buds in abundance and its making my ice kinda funky. I like it but OTHER people in this house dont like dank ice. I dont often use ice but when i do....its DANK

My poor dog. Putting outfits on her. This photo is titled...HELP

But she is the new offical Green Bay Packers mascot of this house so suck it up buttercup :D

Found a thrip yesterday...waged war on them with horticultural oil and bronners soap....emulsified in a blender and then pump sprayed on EVERYTHING.

Spray underside of EVERY leaf bottom to top....then top side of every leaf top to bottom (Those flood and drain trays prove their worth daily).

Until SATURATED. So wet they are drooping over. I will look it over in great detail shortly but all i see now is the odd melted brown thrip. So tomorrow they get Jadam Wetting Agent...Second verse same as the first !

I was worried it might hurt the girls but they seem to really like it. I just keep the concentrations low enough to not cause harm and spray right before lights out.

Once weekly #1 on friday and JWA on Wednesday
#1 Silica-Aloe-Neem-essential oil (in bloom i will cut the essential oil and neem).
#2 Silica and essential oils
#3 neem cake and kelp (veg) #3 in bloom will be Bronners soap and Essential oils (Cinnamon and lemongrass)
Jadam Wetting Agent (JWA) ...on EVERYTHING

If i continue to see thrips i will spray every other day as i have been doing. rotating the #1 to #3 as i go.

The next round in veg is looking a lot better. They are growing with fatter stalks and nicer leaves than i have seen in a really long time.
index.php

Starfighter, HAOG, Sweet Island Skunk (next generation seeds Fem) and a pair of County Line Croquenbouche. These are just sitting in the tray to keep them off the ground. I love how all of them are growing and the structure is looking great. I did an up pot of a Schwaggy HAOG to a 9 litre fabric pot and they have a long way to go to be root bound. I will let them sex out in these if i can.
index.php

Even the plant(s) that i find a thrip on are looking better. And clean plants....make it a lot easier to find shit.

The rooms needed no watering. The 2 litre pots in veg and seedlings are daily but just a sip.

next generation strain

For what it is worth, I'm totally vouching for these guys. I have grown out three of their strains and they are high on my list.

Romulan Grapefruit was ultra vigorous.
Romulan Blueberry twists my melon.
Grapefruit Diesel is one of the tastier plants I have ever grown.

That GF. Die was a fem and every bean was identical.

They were all fast, all yielders.
Regs or fems, I have never had one of them look sideways at me.

I crossed all of them with a male @THT ~Blood Sour Tangie, and have a most impressive " BlueBlooded Romulan " just setting buds now.

I am quite pleased with the entire Canadianess of the affair. I have another ,special to me , green canuck growing in my basement. He is balled up and ready to bring some maple syrup to the party.

Mr J James from County Line Genetics sent me some testers and i grabbed a couple of packs of some stuff i have been wanting to run....

No more seeds he says....well no more seeds for 2020...most probably 2/3 times on the magic eight ball...

The testers are as exciting as the regular gear. Currently in the drink and when i find some rooters going in a plug

Pine Tar Kush

Soaking today for later

Sangria Cookies (F)

Bad Mojo (Vietnamese Silver Leaf X Skywalker OG)

The rest have to wait until there is more room

I am setting up the timer...tomorrow morning i put the timer on 12 12 and we are a GO. I can karanja spray them in bloom a couple of weeks with no problems (like neem but not as smelly or weird).

The two to the far left are Tutankamun from Pyramid seeds.

I had coco so i made this out of a hydro red flood and drain tote system i had (27 gallon commander with an oddjob tote).

I just put the head in through the fill hole and left the drain as is. It will top feed the coco recirculating and i can change out the solution as needed. I have another tote and 6 of these 1 gallon pots. If it goes well i think this will be my new tester system.
It is cana coco and I will be using a combo of jacks and masterblend tomato.

This is a triple deuce (magnum PI, Black Grapes Dum Dum and C99). I am going to veg them in this to see how it works. These will probably all get up potted (all fems).

I think this is a good idea. With my other tray liner i can fit 8 but thats a lot of plants for a 5 foot tent. 6 is too many really unless they go single cola style.

I am blooming again...the timing is whacked and come Feb 1 i am going to be in trim hell for days...i cant wait.

They are sure looking better than they did...and no thrip spit....they are vacating the premises.
A Nigerian Granny, Rattle Snake Diesel X BL and 2 i have no idea why i dont label better plants !

It is Foliar Friday. I flipped the light be on from 8 pm to 7 am (11/13). 4 more plants to spray and they can go to sleep.

Today it was 1 gallon of RO water with 1/4 cup aloe juice, 2 tsp potassium silicate, 1 tablespoon neem oil and 1 tsp of cinnamon essential oil. Emulsified in a ninja blender and then fine mist sprayed bottom to top....then top to bottom...ever leaf too...no dicking around.

I am saving so much in water and time i can get detailed.

HPS is running 1000 watts and 1 board takes care of the other spot (1200 watts running).

I started an alfala drench (1/4 cup alfalfa meal in 4 gallons water (5 gallon bottle with a bubbler)
And a barley drench (1/2 cup of 2 row barley malt pulverized to dust in the ninja. Same idea 4 gallons water in a 5 gallon bottle. Because they foam right over ! save some space.

I will water everything with the barley drench tomorrow. Today they were fine.

Things are growing well. i cant find thrips now and no more thrip shit or trails in lowers.

Today they got kelp tea. The tents got a foliar spray to try out that new floraflex rechargable sprayer and wow that is WAY better. I like it a lot.

I smell like cinnamon....like dentyne red.

It is so nice to see green again. Now its just steady as she goes. Move them around as they take up more area and i think this might fill all of bloom. But i have some vegging for standby and so i can stagger things by 21 days. I like having new bloomers every 21 days then i always have fresh smoke.

The hash runs ended up with 32 grams of thrippy hash (everything i culled green).

And Rock Island Rockets i kept 1 oz and got 27 grams of hash out of the rest.

The thrippy hash is smokeable today and im going to rip a bong load and see how it tastes. Rock Island Rocket hash can wait a few days to dry...this one has a much nicer aroma...spicy orange/lemon chemy hash. It will mellow out.

I think i will roll up a 14 gram ball of each when i get them decarbed (hot water in a mason jar between 2 sheets of parchment decarb) i will put some away to age and still add to the hash variety for now.

I culled a Rattlesnake Diesel lad yesterday...soil is being reused (stored in a tote)...i will get it full and then add some enzymes and let it percolate until i empty the other bin.

This is 50 50 KIS soil and Perlite. IF I can feed it more...kelp....alfalfa etc it has to grow bigger. IT is science.

BRO science.... I got your back bro.

I ordered the fixings for JDW..Jadam Wetting Agent. This stuff is what you mix with neem and various other things, alternating weekly to be preventitive with pest control.

Started some beans to start in the spare bedroom until things are in better condition.

Esos Reverse Welchie and Bazooka Blast
3Thirteen Purple Primate
And some regs
County Line Genetics Tester---Conquenbouche. (Vanilla Cream Cake)
HeathenInc Starfighter F6
Schwaggys HAOG

That is it for the month of November...Next Bean Drop DECEMBER 1....
My bazooka blast had damping off issues not sure what happened but all 6 did it and 4 gmo x 91chem never had that problem before. It’s all good though shit happens
