First Organic Grow... No Till Style!

[drekoushranada]

I went and acquired 100 red wigglers for the plants. I split them up evenly among the 7 in the veg tent. Went in and laid down a mulch on all the plants and gave them a feeding of
1/4 cup fresh young coconut water per gal
1/4 tsp 200x organic aloe powder
5ml agsil
1/2 tsp TM7 per 5 gal
I'm going to take a few more clones tomorrow and try using aloe Vera water with rapids rooters.

Took me a clone of each strain I have using the CC cloning method. Still need to sex the OG Raskal Wi-Fi Aliens. Everything else are from feminized seeds. I hope they are not herm prone. Wanted to veg them until the pre-flowers/maturity showed but I don't think I will be able to. Freaking ladies are growing like no tomorrow.

Here is a bit of bud porn from my previous Coco DTW with Raw Diesel. I was feeding everyday with H&G cocos A&B.

I have a few questions for the tent growers using no-till. Do you all veg to a certain height? I'm using new strains and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot. I'm thinking flower them all at 18-24 inches to be safe.

I am ready to start another organic section in the grow room. I have a few 2 gallon smart pots and a few 5 gallon smart pots. I want to only veg the clones from 2-3 weeks. I have some hydroton, coots mix kit, a bale of peat, and a ton of "organic" bottles nutes I have left over that I got for free; for example Iguana Juice. I didn't want to buy anything else and just wanted to use what I had. Any ideas?

 

[drekoushranada]

Gave the plants a SST. All the new strains are over 14" tall. I do not want to flower them until they are showing pre-flowers/maturity. But given how they are climbing they might have to go into 12/12. I have 10 clones that will be put into my 600w vertical grow. Also a few of my leaves are doing a folding up like a taco a bit. Any suggestions?

 

[drekoushranada]

Just got some homemade vermicompost but after looking through it I seen these getting it on. I think they are millipedes. Should I be worried about them?

 

[drekoushranada]

All the plants are over 18" tall. Here are a few pics for reference. I'm going to have to flower these soon. Hope they don't stretch too much. I took pictures of the front and top of each plant.
1st:CSG Rainbow Jones
2nd:RP Skywalker Kush
3rd:HSO Blue Dream
4th:710 Seeds Cheese
5th:OG Raskal Wi-Fi Alien #2
6th: OG Raskal Wi-Fi Alien #1
I am hoping the Wi-Fi Alien #2 is female. They are different phenotypes.

I'm about to flip to 12/12 today. What top dressing with EWC should I put down?

 

[drekoushranada]

My new batch of living soil is looking much better than the first. It is cooking and making some heat. Pretty interesting. I did add alfalfa meal to this batch which I read can be "hot". Well here are the plants in the 4x8 tent. I'm not sure I can fit the white fire aliens under the 1000w light. Might need to drop the 600w bare bulb and do my ventilation over. Run 2 fans instead of one. Still not sure yet.... It's pretty warm here.

 

[drekoushranada]

Well I turned the lights on and the temperature was 90 degrees Fahrenheit. SMH... I think I'm going to have to pop the ladies in the 5x5 grow tent and grow them vertically. I will make some dry runs to work the ventilation. I think it will run cooler due to more flow. Still trying to figure out what combination of lights to run and what wattage.

 

[drekoushranada]

So the temperature problem has been resolved so far. Here are the 7 plants in the flower room. I am using the 5x5 tent. I decided to run them in a vertical style grow. I have a feeling the strains are going to stretch a good bit.

Have you considered switching to LED?

Have you considered switching to LED?

No I have not. I was able to correct the room temperature and everything is fine for now. The light is dimmed down to 600w and I will bump it up to 1000w in a week or so. My next light purchase will be a DE lamp.

Went and top dressed all the flowering plants with some quality vermicompost and a bit of neem/karanja meal.

So one of the Wi-Fi Aliens turned out to be a male. I have not gotten rid of it yet. I will remove it soon though. I think I want to separate it and dust a few ladies with its pollen. It would save me having to buy seeds for when I want to try something new. Any suggestions on how to go about it? I read some of the breeding threads.

The plants are starting to finally show flower sites. Hey is the plants in veg along with some in the flower room.

 

[drekoushranada]

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I have some life shooting up from the new batch of soil I been cooking. Also a few more clones in the veg area.
