Using full strength stallion soil vs full strength ocean farma bro
in a side by side from clone, rocking 3 strains for now (basically, plus what's germing)
Fyi as reminder, ocean has:
-no turkey litter
-no zeolite
-No blood meal
-No steer manure
-No reggie bone meal
-Has fish bone meal
-Our own organic cow manure
-Couple other tweaks, nothing too major
Humidity is low when gone until I install two 5amp dimmers cause right now have both stealth inlines on one ten amper, my newest dim able wheel (That one on its own mini heatsink)
So, About 25-30 average.
Temps been from 22-28 with 23 and 26 being popular spots when I haven't been babysitting.
Getting her dialled in slowly.
Plants are under six inches, but very stacked, stinking already, and growing daily despite some fluxes.
This Soil kept beer cup clones from limping all the way thru a 48 hour drought, at 26*C and low humidity- im very proud of them.
The one SLCh 2ndary growth be taking off the other SLCh pheno is slower. That's ok, I'm just hoping one is a gravy pheno
The other strains from clone are organized labeled and seperated but are mystery due to a couple glass cases cracking and seeds spilling. A new case was made for seeds since..with better dividers, heavier duty.
one was the black forrest believe it or not, so very intersting dilemna.
so the Thin Sativa is super dank smelling
The Big Mist has fat wide leaves. Real beauty..

Holy, Dp, you pulled a tesla, where u be!?
Jk. Christmas got you going ham I bet..
Ok.
Talked to owner of welcome harvest farm,
Working on becoming a distributor and or maybe even wholesaler
Get all minerals and meals at a discount and sell the excess in store.
(Heh heh They dont know this, but Probably gonna make our own alfafa meal brand .. hit an organic farmer up, scoop alfafa by the bail, grind it, and package it under a new company name instead of getting taxed almost 30$/kg may as well pay 50$/bail .. Must look into doing it properly but here's something interesting..
This says to use 8-12L of kelp meal (1-1-2 with 60 trace elements plus 21 aminos)
At 2-3% total vol
So 2-3 Litres or 8-12 cups per 100L tub.
That's 7-11 more cups than our current mix. I want to try a 2% kelp batch and run it SxS
That's all for now,
Have a good day, herbalists!

Maybe it is the doses if you use only kelp in the mix!??...no many other sources maybe??

It seems like one of the best and safest and most natural amendments
I'm gonna try using what's recommended

This sativa dom clone, the smallest at just one inch tall, is spitting out new sets of leaves and surfing thru the full strength soil with minimal stress. Note the greener and greener colour as its adapted to 100 000 lumens and our latest soil

I have a Blue Dream clone from Dark Heart Nursery in the SF Bay Area. I name it because they are original clone providers here and are the most-renowned tbh. No other connection. Every f*^cking clone they sell is amazing. Chem Dawg IV? Their clone would blow your mind. Sherbet. Platinum GSC. Whichever. I have a Blue Dream clone. It's great. Smells great. In 7 gallons of happy frog and watered. Great clone. Their website and seedfinder.org detail it well. The Blue Dream and Sherbet grows faster than the GSC, and not as spindly as Trainwreck, SFVOG, 9 lb Hammer. I'm picking an indoor Blue Dream early January. Sherbet buds fastest for a clone. I was pulling buds to smoke at six weeks in flower indoors so I could stop buying MMJ. I took clones off the Sherbet and will let the next one flower properly, but sometimes you want to smoke your home grown.

I like to just keep moving up-size whether seed or clone because I usually like variety too much and from seed I won't go past a gallon size until it sexes visually. Most I force end up being males. I go to seven gallon at some point depending on room. The plant can deal and I just love variety when sprouting seeds so I start small and move them up as their growth and sex dictates. Males I keep stay in a gallon. Chop chop chop. I flower for pollen with cut flowers in water, isolated, over glass, and collect it for use later usually when I have whatever plants I want to create seeds on. You get to see weird and different plants with different qualities and smells and amounts of resin or not. You can IBL your paid for seeds and/or make unique seeds. It's additional fun in growing.

DonPetro, your growing methods were the first I was reading here on RIU and the worms in the dirt thing, indoors, was a radical departure for me to see in practice. I've grown indoors in dirt since the 80's on and off depending on my situation. I have grown special & heirloom vegetables from seed after sprouting indoors for growing outdoors. I had a massive compost pile I did not even turn. It had a beetle colony. Man-thumb-size larvae and tunnels straight down an unknown depth. Chickens, rabbits, excrement, hay, and kitchen waste all went into a thick compost pile contained by wood and open on one end. 2' deep, 4' wide, 10'-12' long. Had to move!!!!!!!! After 18 years and it was an amazing compost pile and organic garden. I have to remake it all and I will. Weed indoors only though where I now live. Anyhow, your radical indoor growing is rad. I'm 51 years old and I'm not doing it your way yet, but I'm doing a bunch of one-gallon budding! From seed. We have MMJ. They give a "Grow/Possess" certificate that is a veritable Green Light on weed growing. Before 12 years ago it was illegal and I did it anyway for my use. I have some long-term breeding projects in bloom as well. Most end up in 5-7 gallon to bud. I don't look at many other sites. Merry Christmas.

In the 7gal geo pot, From seed: -classic Kosher Kush
-Purple (belly) Diesel
-Meaty Chernobyl
-the Colonel's Gravy
-ConChocolate (female)
Just one bean each, all popped. Male or female they will have a role to play.
Meanwhile, the recently installed AirKing reflects far red and infrared rays as its oscillates fresh air in the easier to clean, shellacked room.
Girls are growing steady despite being alone (together) much of the time.
They wish you all a Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and year of bountiful harvests
We must have some of the best flower in the world, of course its tempting to smoke!
I've tried Blue Dream, just once, the bud was brutal actually (shitty grower) but winterized shatter tasted good. I'm sure yours would be much better if organic. Lets see some more bud pics sometime.
And yea GSC is a slower growing lower yielding girl but she's a potent one .. Much like our Green Spirit Heirloom, fck I miss that deadly potency. World class expansion and sooooooo clean
Ill be sure to hitup Dark Heart when I roll thru the bay tho. Cool..
