2020 outdoor grow including Organic Fertilizer comparison

[doug mirabelli]

Whatchap? Massachusetts native here. This year, all of my plants have some ruderalis in their genotypes. I have four Early harvesting photoperiods --
Delicious Seeds Marmalate (in a 10 gallon smart pot)
Delicious Seeds Critical
Delicious Seeds Unknown Kush
Sensi Seeds Early Skunk

The last three were put in the ground about a week ago with about 6.5 cubic feet of Roots Organic in the hole. At about 2/3 down, I mixed in a layer of Down to earth's Bio Live, mykos, and worm castings. Also layered mykos and worm castings throughout. I topped them all at the second node.

I also have 8 autos that I recently germmed. 5/8 have popped. I reseeded the 3 fails that were most definitely due to user error (live and learn) I think seeded to deep on those. Those are pictured below, south facing, on the roof of a deck in my yard. Auto strains are:

2 Flash Autoflowering Seeds Panama Lime Super Auto
3 Dutch Passions Auto Ultimate
1 Barney Farm's LSD
1 G13 Labs Bride Cake
1 Auto Seeds Candy Kush

I'll be using 3 different organic fertilizers for the Auto Ultimates. I think Roots organic Bloom Terp tea, Bio Live, and one more TBD

Ill Be using "Terpenez" In one of the Panama Limes and one without to test the difference. I've used terpenez before with happy results. I want a better idea of its effectiveness.

Thanks in advance for your comments and criticisms!

scribed man, sounds like fun! I've never tried organic tbh. used ferts like biobizz fishmix but nothing more, like to make my own organic mix, guess its not that easy. for some reason, i cant see the pics btw, is it only me? anyway, good luck
EDIT* it showed the pics, looks promising man!

 

[doug mirabelli]

Yeah... making an organic mix seems tough. I’ve read about too many issues, I’d rather go with something proven.

 

[doug mirabelli]

I got a little LST going on my photos with 12” garden staples. Also 8/8 auto seeds are popped at this point. Furthest along is Dutch passion auto ultimate #3 Pictured

 

[Mr. Cheetah]

nice job on the lst man, didnt snap anything right

 

[Mr. Cheetah]

i like to do lst after good watering, stems seems to feel more flexible

 

[doug mirabelli]

nice job on the lst man, didnt snap anything right

Hahah nope, all good. I didn’t go down as far as I could go to prevent that. In a few days I’ll push them down a little further.

it happens to me all the time lol

Not huge set bet though right they come back stronger.. autos another story

 

[Mr. Cheetah]

Not sure about that either, maybe it depends from strain and pheno also

 

[doug mirabelli]

Plants are all green and healthy. The photos are doing well with their LST. Going to see how much canopy I can get before flowering time. Autos doing well at about 3 weeks above the ground, starting to explode now. Just top fed some worm castings on the autos and planning on top feeding either dr earth, Gaia, or Terp tea in a 2 or 3 weeks

 

[Mr. Cheetah]

niiiiice job on the lst man!

 

[doug mirabelli]

niiiiice job on the lst man!

thanks buddy. Hoping I can get the canopy across the whole section

 

[doug mirabelli]

Finally got the Gaia green shipped from Canada. Got all the bloom ferts for my autos ready to be applied now. Looking to top feed the ones that have been popped since June 1 within the next couple weeks. I was going to include mega crop in this comparison but after reading up on it, it seems to be a hoss of a different color. Vegan material, minding Ppm and feeding while watering just seems like much different treatment. I’m sure mega crop would have gotten me great results but it seems more like a bottled nute way about it

 

[doug mirabelli]

Things are moving nicely for now. Heavy rain last night more to come. I need to make a covering for heavy rain during flower. The oldest autos are a foot tall now

 

[Mr. Cheetah]

these LSTd plants will be monsters man!

 

[doug mirabelli]

I hope so, running into problems with my biggest. The stalk has split open and I saw bugs crawling inside the stalk. I sealed it off with super glue. I'm bugging out pun intended. Hate that i put superglue into the main veins of my plant but I cant have bugs there either. I'm debating on taking clones off of it. There are probably over 100 potential clones on it. Thinking now maybe ill take a shit ton of clones off of it, uproot the plant and plant a shit ton of clones in that area

 

[Mr. Cheetah]

React fast with the bugs man, till they are not flowering you've got a lot of options

What’s done is done. We’ll see how she does. I sealed it up it looks dry and sealed. It looked like it was going to rot soon. I think the super glue dried it out.

In other news, tied down the inner shoots one last time, got my stakes in the ground and first layer of trellis support up. Still going to tie down most of the main colas for a week or 2 except for the middle one (unknown kush) which is preflowering pretty hard

Meant to add pics
