Coffee time.

Heyyy what's up guys. Thanks for swingin by to make sure I wasn't dead.

Had to cull my last Bubbleberry yesterday. Took forever, but it threw some balls on me. Everyone in the flowering tent is looking good though. Hitting their stride now, and I'll probably flip as early as tomorrow. Super bummed about the Bubbleberry though. I think I only have 2 or 3 beans of that one left... hopefully there's a girl in there waiting for me.

There are still a couple more plants that are holding out sex wise. I think I've got a ?pxSB pegged as a boy, but the other one is looking to be a girl, and a Pandora's that is giving me no hints at all. Oh, and Choco Chunky Monkey is not telling me much either. I tell ya... the flowering tent is going to be packed though. :shock: Hopefully it'll give me enough smoke to get me through a few months with no growing. We shall see.

Drinking coffee, and TCB'n this morning.

Top of the mornin' to ya Donnie. Just a couple of days in... but the plants are well established from seed, and I would hope be showing a litte more by now. It's ok though, just going to have to move some things around if I see any signs of nanners.

And yes, pictures are LONG overdue :lol: . . . I'll get some going here in a bit! ;)

About to grab some coffee, and catch up with everyone. Hope you're having a good one, bro!

Yeah hate when they don't flower up as fast as you hope for them too. It's like they want to do things on their own schedule!! I'm not walking into the flower room checking on you guys half a dozen times a day for nothing girls - bud the fuck up! :)

Hey Bongwell. Top of the mornin' to ya. It's only day 3 now of 12/12 so I'm not overly concerned. I do wish more would have shown some preflowers though.

Been spraying Equisetum, and will be watering about half of the girls today. Some of these girls are really bulking up already.... like the Headband. Really nice growth structure. Glad I took a cutting of her. Whatever shock she had is gone certainly gone now, and she's making up for lost time. Can see the color change in both her and the Trainwreck as their roots dig deeper into the Super Soil and are starting to really turn a darker green. I guess they were both a little hungry. If they stay healthy and PM free they should both yield nicely.

Sweet yeah I love the deep dark green heading into flower to try and stave off the early yellowing I just mixed up a fresh can of super soil (original recipe) to do cut vs cut comparison with my modified recipe to see which turns out better (if there's any difference at all). The only difference in mine is it's more guano based than blood/bone meal (still has a little for some fast release) and some extra additives like compost with alfalfa meal, rock phosphate, kelp meal, etc. I also reclaimed a 32 gallon can full of used soil from the last grow... amended it with a super soil mix that's geared more towards veg (higher N, less P), it's gonna be my new veg soil mix once they're out of the baby stage :) I'm gonna grow some crazy big bushes this time. I have 4 grades of soil now -- seedling/clone, base (plain roots) and super soil... and 2 different grades of super soil for flower lol

What is Equisetum??

Nice, I'm just starting to try and reuse soil... er, more like save up soil to reamend and then reuse. I've got awhile before I'll be at that point, though.

Equisetum is just the Latin term for Horsetail. I've been spraying it as a preventative measure. Working great so far, and the plants love the Silica from it, too. Nugs made a tutorial on it I believe, although he uses powder instead of the shredded product (which I prefer over the powder).

If you have a large enough amount of soil you may be able to start a compost, add spent soil to compost, stir and reuse. A large enough pile would allow it to become perpetual id imagine.
I guess the other option is to just reuse the soil, pasteurize then add beneficial microbes and nutrients during the growing cycle?
I thought you stopped shop for a while? Back in flower already? Sorry im in and out of social.

Yeah the sad thing is since I'm gonna move after next grow all this dirt's gonna go to waste unless I move locally... definitely not taking 3 trash cans of dirt to cali (or wherever I end up). But it'll be a good expiriment...What state you live in btw bobo?
