I got the cut from a buddy and I forget what the strains are that he crossed.
It's at 12 weeks.

I like mixing my own soil too, but will usually pick up a bag of small pumice stone to add, too. Get a great deal on thrice-washed non-gmo rice hulls which make for a good amendment for aeration as well as a great top cover for weeds-control. I don’t think bugs get around on it very easy either.
But also- way to go on keeping it organic and local. I think some bio diversity of bugs can be beneficial and citric is pretty great as well. Happy growing

I got some humic acid powder from some company, always twists my leaves. I haven’t had it since, my soil has a lot of humus in it already

I hear ya. That's where I'm at. I've put years and years worth of leaves and grass into this pile of dirt, as well as most kitchen and garden vegetable waste. It's basically a pile of humus with some sand, biochar, and native bentonite mixed in. Super hot stuff.
These sativa-leaning plants have struggled in it, and showed a phosphorous deficiency as well. Probably strain related, but it was eye opening all the same (I have never tested the pile).

You need to use water soluble humic acid very sparingly.

No kidding!
I have made liquid fertilizer out of that compost pile. One gallon of soil soaked with a half-gallon of water gave me maybe a quart of brown runoff, which made two gallons of fertilizer (watered down). I kept a couple mothers alive in quart pots of depleted soil for nearly a year, and still have a gallon leftover!

Harvested three weeks ago, showed pistils for 11 weeks (switched to 12/12 before sexual maturity).
Stripped fan leaves and hung to dry in a tent for three weeks at 60% RH.
Dry trimmed lightly, weighed at 7.3 oz. (first time weighing my yield). Half of that is larfy mids for edibles.
Smells like overripe underfunk, tastes not much better! Smooth, clear-headed, very relaxing high. Good all-day smoke, great for anxiety.
Next grow will be in the SIPS thread!
