Thanks !. Grown lovingly in organic living soil...this is the 5th cycle now and the soil thriving for sure. Plants just get RO water pretty much with the odd tea or top dress.

I’ve been thinking about doing that with just a couple of plants,it would be interesting to see the differences with the same cultivar in soil vs coco..do you ph up the R/O as it’s usually around 6.0 or below..

I’d recommend it to anyone interested it’s pretty damn easy. I usually need to bring my PH down a bit. 6.4 is where I like it to be.

I have a MARS HYDRO 900w and I made up my mind and ordered a 1000w Phlizon CREE COB. Should fill a 4x5 tent....

Its only 245W, stupid marketing lying crooks. Youd need at least 2 for that foot print, bare minimum. Decent price though.

Outdoor melon glue (GG4 cross) Mould coming in hard now and this one should go at least another week.

It's a second light I'm adding to the tent. The MARS didn't cover it so I figured the 2 together should do it. The mars has worked well so far - just doesn't reach the edges.

I wonder though if the first living soil crop would be as good as your second in the living soil? So maybe on the first run it isn't a fair comparison? I dunno what I'm talking about just thinking that it may take more time for microbes to be established etc..maybe @johny sunset can set me straight.

You're correct. Not to say the first crop will be bad, but that the soil gets better with time as your microbe colony grows.

It’s not fair to say your first cycle will turn out bad or not yield well.....far from it, but Your correct, each cycle gets better as your soil is becoming richer and richer and the water and nutrient retaining ability of your soil improves over time.
Before you know it your soil is thriving with life and so will your plants.

This actually has nothing to do with growing, other than I had just smoked a joint of my Blueberry on the deck before I came into the house and saw this guy staring at me through the living room window on Tuesday. Thought I'd share....
He sat there for about 10 minutes and watched everything I did - I see the weirdest shit with wildlife on this island....

Should have gave him a hoot

 

[cannadan]

you can tell by his head cocked off to one side....
he was just as weirded out by you as you by him...lol

Meet the Jefferson's
Day 12, great root growth, just water so far,
transplanted into their 'forever homes' this morning
The 5 small ones are GSC -
The new light will be here tomorrow.....

Mega Crop is some fantastic stuff, definitely needs a little calmag for me it seems though.
I defoliated and flipped to flower like 6 days or so ago (I should keep better track of things like this but they finish when they finish so I rarely do).
Currylato (back) and Critical+ 2.0 (right) are doing really well, Spumoni (left) growth is still not the greatest, unless the smoke is the most amazing thing ever I may never grow it again.
Only the Currylato successfully cloned for me, so I am keeping it around until I see how the plant does in flower so I can decide if I want to take clones and flower a full tent of them or not.

brought in 6 branches this afternoon to get a head start on trimming some of the applejack..that looks quite ready.
Trimmed them...went out to run an errand came back ...I say to my brother....
hey thanks for brewing some coffee ...he says I didn't brew no coffee ....he says it smells like that since you brought those branches in to trim....sure enough the coffee maker is off...
this stuff smells really nice...just like a fresh pot of coffee....hmmm lol

Noticing a difference with the new light. the right side is the new Cree Cob 1000w led and the left is my MARS Hydro 900w.
The 3 bigger plants are the Jeffersons and the rest are GSC. You can see the ones on the right are bigger than the MARS light side. I might order 2 more of the Phlizon Cree Cob and get rid of the Mars. Got a little burn on a couple of leaves from the light being too low the first day.

Kudos. We changed the strain name to Jefferson now. It's not like we will ever sell these seeds. Jefferson is a way cooler strain name and although we tried to preserve the heritage of the lineage in the original name, we like Jefferson better and we won't be selling them. So if you have some Jeffersons...your special

I got 'inzane skittles' on the tags, but I figured Jefferson was easier on the forum...everyone will know what I'm talking about.
Stay tuned for a chance to get your hands on some vianarchris seeds - I pollinated a timewarp with a GSC and am going to call them Warped Cookies. I'll keep it off of this forum though.....
