Thanks guys! :bigjoint:

I grow organically. I use compost teas and organic cal-mag supplements.

Fresh compost and high grade worm castings and microbes are all a must.

Pretty much my plants never get straight water.

The compost is by far the most important part. Reinoculant for new plants with recharged/ recycled soil.

I save all the soil from my best plants and reuse it. I recharge it with worm castings, neem seed cake, guano, Epsom salt, crushed oyster shells, and gypsum to stabilize ph. Most importantly I make sure to keep the soil enriched with massive amounts of glomus intraradices which is the dominant beneficial microbe that cannabis grows with in symbiosis...

When ever I up pot a plant I use some of the supercharged compost from the previous plants in the bottom of the pot so they start with an already thriving microbial environment. Passing down the good to the next generation of plants.

My microbe sources are

'mykos' (granular for soil mixtures) - I use this to mix into soil when up potting

and

Great white (powder for water mixtures) - goes into the water for seedlings and once a week on the water/cal-mag days

For organic grow and bloom concentrates I use roots orgsnic Buddha grow and bloom.

I also use their fish emotions (surge) and Liquid guano (HP2).

I have 2 different nutrient teas one for veg and a different one for flower but my plants get nitrogen in their teas all the way to their last day alive. The flower teas has a lot more phos and the veg is packs with extra nitrogen.


On alternate days I water in with cal-mag and on alternating alternate days I add more microbes.

For cal mag I use general organics liquid cal mag on seedlings and clones just being potted. In soil and in teas use the power form from roots organic.


I've also use general organics for the grow and bloom. I have had virtually the exact same results with both lines. I don't use a lot of it. Just a quarter cup each per 5 gallon tea bucket ever other water. It's more like a slow trickle. I guess kind of like an iv drip to the roots.

The biggest most important part is by far maintaining a thriving microbial life within the soil and sustaining living soils. Without that all the crap from the bottles just pours right through and the plant can't uptake shit..... :bigjoint:

still staggers me folks put that much effort into refining their organic recipes. If I were outdoor deffo I'd be on that compost tea business, which it seems anyone doing the living soil myko's game i've seen run are impressive bud makers.

everyone has a secret soil recipe same as their secret mix of chilli spices.

bet I wouldn't be fighting gnats with glomus intraradices in my coco.

I date the plants when they go into bloom and two months is 61 days-except for Feb.....and I strip the bottom 1/3 and other small growth that will result in popcorn buds.
As you become more familiar with the plants, you will understand how to trim them before bloom.
I've been running a perpetual for years and recently enlarged and lost the handle on the bloom room.....incorrect lighting, soil changes that had to be adjusted and poor choice of nutes. The current growth is looking good, but I've had my share of disappointing results.

:peace:

yeah I do that too, try to keep a record of day one of 12 12 for all my plants. But every now and then one slips through the cracks and does not get written down. I got a room full of breeders Boutique gear going now though , and my Fireball and blue pit look pretty special. I only got one female out of 3 seeds that popped out of the fb's, got a few females from the blue pits, being popped all 10 of them right as soon as I got them. Saved all the cuttings from all the females. But I think I found my blue pit winner, but still don't know for sure got to give it the old smoke test first. But I hadn't been disappointed in any of the blue pick up smokes so far, in fact I'm bout to blaze a little bit right now. I've had my Fireball in flower since January 30th , it is beautiful. Kind of looks like that picture of the deep blue gin and tonic posted. Nice waxy green leaves still this far into flower, and the nodes are nice and tight, nice bushy plant with one main Cola on it, and a lot of side branches comma and it is definitely too short Titan owed me know. Because it didn't really stretch anything like a dog or something does As far as Ma yield problem goes, I'm pretty sure I can chalk it up 2 inexperience. all of a sudden jumping into perpetual and I was trying to rush things getting the plants out before they were really ready and that's really just shooting yourself in the foot. I'll be let them go for as long as it takes here on out. My first grow I'll let three or four of my she surprises go 70 days and they work great Kama I still got a couple of those beans it just takes so long to finish them I didn't pop him for the Perpetual but they are nice smoke.

Thanks for all the help guys most of all the knowledge of games in growing cannabis from y'all and this site and my Horticulture teacher had a little bit to do with it too I guess. But you guys are the ones that answer my specific questions and usually are dead on with your answers. So thanks again
Sorry about the rambling. That was a little too long for a forum post
