Pruned up my plants, 5 days 12/12.

Looking great off to a great start

Long day of mixing soil and filling pots. My soil mix is 1/2 recycled root balls that I amended and 1/4 compost, 1/4 lighty amended soil from my local gardening center. Got eight 65 gallon pots and one 45 gallon pot filled. I will be putting my plants out on may 25 or 26, going to rain tonight and tomorrow, figure I'll wait for the storm to pass.

Pruned up the lady's one last time day 15 of flower.

 

[norcal mmj]

Set up my watering/tea station, with 2 air pumps and two 30 gallon containers.

 

[norcal mmj]

So I was thinking of using, 1 cup of neem meal, 1 cup alfalfa and 2 gallons of compost, in my 5 gallon paint strainer tea bags. I'm going to put that into approximately 25 gallons of water and molasses. Any input is welcome. @greasemonkeymann

Still top dressing with the bio live. I have watered 2 times

That's pretty heavy on alfalfa if you ask me

hmm, well, to be honest, neem meal is so damn good at what it does as a soil additive that I have virtually zero experience in using it as a tea, my concerns would be that it may or may not effect all those awesome microbes you have in your compost.
so in that regard, i'd do a tea with ONLY the compost and molasses.
you are kinda doing both a nutrient and a microbe tea, and from I have read and researched they can be counter-productive.
BUT that being said I don't have a fancy microscope (wish I did), so my only information on that is from the internet, tim the microbeman in particular.
what I would do is stagger the two, and do a microbe tea first, and a nutrient tea one week later, that way your soil is inoculated heavily with all those microbes in order to help "use" the nutrients provided in the tea.

Good input, my friend I teach and work with has a bachelors in molecular biology, I will run that buy him but it makes sense to me. Also my plants have been in my soil mix for 10 days there's plenty of food.

@Moldy we should meet up some time, I have a decent selection of strains if your in need or we could just blaze one.

 

[norcal mmj]

Caged up a few plants and topped the rest. First is tangie, loving the structure and growth. The next to are blue berry x cheese quake.next we have New York purple diesel, just growing into a ball. Jilly bean looking happy. And the little platinum bubba is looking great.

All I have to say is damn, this nypd is fire, half a king sized joint and I was done.....
