soil is done, just waiting for it to warm up before the seeds go to their new home.

I made a crude step by step for making the soil for my buddy LeTrev.


Ocean Forest
Roots
Bat Guano
Worm poop
soil sweetener

3gallons of Ocean Forest


bat guano and soil sweetener


I use alot of worm poop, alot of poop is a good thing to get nice and sturdy roots and foundation


top it off with Roots






3-7gal containers ready and waiting



Mix well and add it to the new home

don't forget to clean and vacuum before the wife comes home from work ;-)
also what you cant see:
My 420 playlist in the background providing nice and soothing tunes
A few nicely packed bowls to sanctify the new additions and welcome them to my home
I also throw in some good herb from my last harvest to give them a taste of what they are striving to become

feeding day..also discovery day as well.

ROOTS STILL HAS GNATS. thats why only 2 big pots, i put one outside to freeze the top few inches and then bring it back inside and start with some random seeds. So Konway Kartel III is no more, the strain is gone forever :-)
went to water them tonight and a dozen ro so came flying up from the soil, so outside they went and ill keep checking but the others are mostly Ocean Forest, so wait and see.


I think it says somewhere in the law about having usable plants, mine are not usable at the moment, so thats my excuse for the numbers, by the time they hit flower I will have them whittled down to the correct number ;-)

Sucks about the gnats man! Yeah I've had gnats from several different brands of soil. I think the logistics of the soil business are not conducive to preventing the spread of insects, specifically gnats. It doesn't take much to get them, and when you get them they're a pain in the arse.

One thing you could do to deter them is to use much smaller containers for your seedlings. It would be easier to combat them with individual smaller containers which you could control waterings much more effectively with. Those big pots make it difficult to let the soil dry between watering because those plants are only using a very small percentage of the soil right now.

Wet soil is a breeding ground for the larvae, which feed on roots, hatch, turn into gnats and the cycle continues. Topping with EWC helps too, because it dries out fast and forms a "crusty" surface on the top. The eggs can't survive in a dry substrate so it interrupts their breeding cycle. Be sure to let the soil dry out completely between watering. Eventually, they're toast! Sticky traps can help trap the adults too, which also interrupts them from laying eggs.

I know transplanting can suck but I've found that going through appropriate pot sizes up to flower makes for an overall healthier grow with fewer invitations for bests and overwating. Food for thought!

Sorry about the KK III :( Its always a bummer when we lose a lady by accident!

BTW that soil mix looks great! Should be a good run brother.

something was wrong/off in my soil mnix, i think i had too much castings and my girls were just not happy, so they are gone and i am starting over. I am telling myself that it happens and not to be pissed but i just hate to waste the money and time. so i am starting over with straight OF and the usual suspects. BUT i do have the measurements written down so i know what is too much, fuckme :-)

the edges were coming up, huge creases and the leaves were starting to yellow, it wasnt good. I am going to thin it out in the spring and see what happens. I have 14 more in cups now waiting for them to pop their heads above the soil.

That sucks! At least you scrapped it early, you only lost a cpl weeks. Good luck with the fresh start.
