Week one
6 clones brought home on aug. 7th (2 purple diesel 2 Holy grail Kush 1 super girl 1 blackberry kush)
I kept one plant from last time. My god's gift. Been trying to clone and veg it but not having the best luck.
She did seem to want to flower under 15-16 hours light. So that's the issue I'm currently working on. Taking almost two months to fully recover from partial flower. It looks like a mutant. I'm trying to veg under 24 hour light now.
This round I have decided to go completely organic for the life of the soil. In the past I bought my dirt at walmart. Never again.
So far I used Black gold on the gods gifts and I just bought a 2.5cf bag of down to earth pro organic mix with lots of microbes.
I mixed in a couple cups of azomite and alphalpha meal. That is what the new clones are in.
My city water report says 150ppm and .02-.04ppm chloramine. I looked at fish tank drops, carbon filters, hauling 0ppm water. My conclusion was that there is plenty of carbon in compost tea. I can grow bacteria in there just fine. Long brown filaments. So that is my precaution before putting the water on the roots. Just keeping a rubbermaid bubbling and fresh smelling with earth, alphalpa, and molasses. My question is though. If I am using less then a tablespoon molasses per 5 gallon of water and bubbling for 12-72 hours, can I feed feed feed feed? All organic. light on the ingredients. I just dont want to pour straight tap into my pots of not cheap dirt. I also dont want to carry 100 gallon jugs up three flights of stairs.
My timeling goal as of right now.
August: Inoculation, waiting for temps to get out of the 90's
September: Strong veg, clone, pot up
October: Flip, stretch
November: Ripen
December: Get a better spot.
I will do my best to post an update every week. I will be checking for your advice, comments, and questions more frequently.
Thank you.
