The Dons' Organic Garden

Well you want to charge that shit with nutrients AND microbeasties. It would seem any basic recipe would do but I would worry that 1 tsp would not quite be enough and using more would ensure a good herd to start with. After bubbling you may want to let it settle for a few minutes for the colonization to really take hold. I should make a batch too. Here is a great read on the topic.

couldn't hurt, right?!?

@DonTesla i saw a pic on IG of some ECSD and it looked like a dead ringer for our cut. I can hardly wait til she starts swelling up in your no-till bed. We need to get that SD crossed into something to preserve those genetics.

how big of chunks of char did you use DT?

I'm going to do up a batch of bio-char for my new soil mix. I think thisnext batch will out-perform my previous batches but only time will tell. Its along time until tomato season.

I concur,
Wise Petro.
This 1st gen (DP) SD bagbean here is getting frosty quick.
(The skinnier leafed one..)

The other bagseed SD be getting chunky.
As is the Purple D..more so in the plastic no till..
That one was Topped just once yet 8-10 'tops' emerged!!

Very frosty!
definitely ecxiting when you know youve made it far enough that you could harvest and get insanely ripped off some clean organic.
I know there's a long way to go but that frost!
We seem to get to this point very fast or is it just me and these panels you built?

Btw, had some issues with mites ..
.. so .. Culled quarantined and "focused" the girls a bit, got some organic soap, and wiped problem leaves.
Beyond the point of spraying now so its all intaimate.

Added some rice crust and watered her in good with the new 2gal watering can with super tiny holes..
Added 3 gal of our soil on top of that and made a mound with a hole-pit..
Now I'm inoculating the corners where the mound does not cover..
After inoculating I will spread the mound out so the tea can really get absorbed vs starting to evaporate..

Last few days, they got fair bit fatter and frostier and bugs have subsided..

*************************************************************

@DonPetro yea bro, i could really use a visit its just been one thing after another bro, can't wait to repent and catch up! You have no idea .. Miss you tonnes.

*************************************************************

Meanwhile, this lil handle from the worm-farm is now on the grow room, and is literally screwed in every night with a power drill to seal the door shut super tight during lights out.

-One shorter screw holds her in the same place on the magnetic door
-and the other catches wooden door frame and clamps her shut.

Just a lil secret from the Dons Camp..helps finish the girls.

What is your humidity like? More likely than not however its likely excess nitrogen that is also contributing/causing your bug issue as well as the clawing on the more sensitive plants as mentioned earlier.

I'd say..
It dips below 40 when ready for water and it hovers around 45-55 when satiated.
But yea it did hover up to 60s for a week or two as it was pretty humid out.

The sativas are starting to thrive all around.. Even the sour creams.

Organic Sour Cream in the plastic no till towers to the outside edge..

SourD pumping out serious frost from seed like there ain't no tomorrow..

Purple Diesel, Lower outside main, plastic no till, 99% ro water only!
Note the healthy sheen dis beauty has!

hell to the yeah. that sour cream.... holy sativa! looks great as always DT

SourD - one more time for Dp et al..satiPheno and one of her like 205 skinny branches!
The ten headed other SourD is much beefier..but not as loaded yet, go figure mon!
