Glad you agree on the LT over Goji. Always wondered if I was alone in that opinion :)

Years back circa 2013-2015 I ran 2-3 phenos which were very similar about 2x outside and 3x inside. None foxtailed or had any orange like smell I can recall so I'm fairly certain I didn't have the creamsicle pheno. Would like to! I thought I read it was the most common expression of LT. Should get it this time out of 31 :mrgreen:
Looked like it may be the one as it shows late in flower like week 8 and 9 and only the top colas.

In the last couple months I have had plants of different strains show sex at 5 days in flower up to 15 days. Right now I just culled a male (Sleeskunk F2s) and marked 2 females with female pre flowers out of six and these are at 19/5 in veg and 4 weeks from seed. 3 Peak Northern Lights are with them and a week older and nothing showing.

Mango Hashplants at 8 weeks!
This strain is nuts for as much sativa it is supposed to have!
The kind of hybrids I like! Sativa affects with solid more indica growth!
Reminds me of some good Island bud!
Pods are very large on this one.View attachment 4337146 View attachment 4337147 View attachment 4337148 View attachment 4337149 View attachment 4337150
Hey man..I know this is a Bodhi thread but you said you like sativa effects from plants with indica growth pattern and it made me instantly think of one of my all time favorite strains. Kali China (Old Kali Mist x China Yunnan) from Ace seeds. Short plants that fully finish in 8 weeks flower. It’s inbred to an f5 now and is stable. Not the biggest yields but the smell is incredible. Incense, mango and violets are the main smells but there’s an exotic kind of woodiness in the background. Purple tints through the buds on a lot of the plants. Tastes like it smells and is very uplifting and calming at same time. Good to get up and go or chill. Lots of laughs from this strain. I miss it and plant to run again in the near future. I tell you i smoked that bud everyday all day for months and did not get tired of it. It’s delivers itself on the money every time. Effect is top notch. Little know plant it seems but it’s a good one and a respectable breeder.

Watering a couple Wookie Hashplant at 37 days and look a lot like several Space monkeys I have had. Average size and nice branching for training. Healthy and making buds.

Also confirmed and up potted 2 Soulmate girls and a boy was culled. Yet to ID the last three.
With the Wookie crosses..does the Wookie seem to come through a lot? First time Bodhi grower here. I cloned a male of the phone Home and Soul mate. Probably will clone them before I toss them in the trash..might do it a few times before I decide to grow them out and make some f2s of these...if I like the smoke enough.

Small sample size, but I have 3/6 wookie dom of my Congo x Kashmir x wookie testers

I plan on growing no-till organic outdoors this year for the first time, and can someone help me out with the math? I've got good compost with a mixture of pumice and perlite getting prepped for 30 gallon fabric pots, how much amendments should I add to each?

I plan on using:
Oyster meal
Neem Meal
Diatomaceous Earth (silica)
Epson Salt
Bokashi
Humic Acid

Also, is there anything else I should add? Especially to help the plant cope with heat over the 100+ degree summer?

Follow the Coots mix..u can add on whatever else you have too.
Humic acid is about 1/2 cup every 3-4 cubic feet. 1 tables spoon of Epsom salt per cubic foot.
Most important part for you is buying or making an inoculater like homemade EM1 or buying EM1 or Plus C from Microbe life..OregonismXL, Mykos additive...

If you roughly follow the amendment addition numbers you'll be all good. I think you should also add some either Basalt dust or Glacial rock dust, really anything like that, that is marketed in your area. The other big amendments I lean on are Earth Worm castings which I make myself (Easy to do and much better than bought) it's likely if you are in the states someone around you is making good EWC though so scope craigslist farm/garden etc. EWC can be powerful if they are actually good so I just use them to innoculate and topdress and Malted Barely that I blend into a powder. You could probably buy malted barely powder but it's most likely best to blend your own if you can. Minerals (Rock Dusts), Earth Worm castings and Malted Barley will basically feed your plants most of the things you need. If you make your own castings you can feed amendments to the worms and then just use those EWC as a sort of super compost to simplify further.

Don't worry too much about what you do or do not have so much, as long as you generally have Compost, Rock dust, and food/enzymes for micros(Malted Barley) you will be good to go and your crop will be sweet. The only other good addition would be Mycorrhizae (Glomus Intraradices) which helps your plant extract more nutrients over time and helps to establish these pots for many cycles by building a soil network. You don't have to buy the cannabis specific stuff that is probably overpriced, gardeners use Mycos for trees and other plants as well. The Lush roots from Dragonfly earth medicine is really good and a small jar is lasting me a long time and has a few other micros to innoculate your soil with.

Don't worry so much about inoculating that you go overboard. If you get good earthworm castings, that will be enough. Or look up LAB and make some of that. The Bokashi you are already using will also probably be enough as it's just EM-1 dried onto bran flakes, so don't worry too much about it. The bed doesn't have to be re-inoculated all the time. The microbes will colonize your pots over time and the odd addition of good compost or earthworm castings will keep them healthy. Try to avoid the hydro mindset of doing a million things and just let the plants ride. I would caution against making teas and applying them too heavily as it is easy to over inoculate your beds/pots doing that. I think they have a place but don't do something just for the sake of doing it. You can leave green plant matter such as blackberry leaves or kudzu etc (Prolific growing "Invasive" plants) in a bucket of water and stir occasionally for a couple of days and use that to water with. It is much more gentle but you will see a benefit for sure. Horsetail is a great natural plant to steep in water to get silica for your plants. The water turns almost glossy.

Anyway, I'm rambling, the point is trying to keep it simple, your mix looks good. Maybe add some rock dust (Basalt). If your pots are black and not tan maybe cover them somehow with something light coloured in that extreme summer heat to keep the root temp down and make sure they are in an area with some good air flow. I think root temp is probably more of a problem in the heat than anything. A lot of landraces are from very hot places so I think it's all good.

That is an excellent description!!
And I am hoping for something similar to that which you speak!
So I will post up a little report on the smoke.

Already showing a good amount of amber resin. Like 15%. At 8 weeks. That's already cutable if you had to.
And showing some purpling.

Many thanks for all the good information. And that's great to know about the Worm Castings providing nearly all the necessary nutrients. I forgot to mention that I do plan to mix in 1 bag of worm castings per 30 gallon pot, so hopefully that will provide enough nutrients to get the job done.

And I used to add rock dust but after watching a youtube video where the guy gets his soil scientifically analyzed before and after, the rock dust literally added nothing. (forget the you tubers name but he's based in Canada and think its Alberta--something). I quit using rock dust after that.

Thanks for reminding me about the mycos. And that malted barley sounds like good stuff. Where do you source the barley? And the barley is for top dressing, correct?

Yeah the malted barley is for top dressing. You can get it at brewery supply places for home brewers or even at a local brewery will probably slide you some. It’s very inexpensive, if there are any U brew stores in your zone they will have it.

Yeah it’s hard to say about the rock dust thing. I think it’s more about long term availability of small mineral amounts. There are rocks in nature and I’m sure there is a connection so even launching some river rocks in your pots will probably give benefits. I think science is good but we for sure can’t test for everything that’s going on so going solely on that may or may not be a good idea. I just add a bit to cover the bases. Look up Steve Solomon or his book the intelligent gardener. There is a whole rabbit hole on remineralization of soil so there is probably something to it but in the end you can only compare what you are seeing. I honestly think even some rocks in the pot help out in some way. I’m fairly hippie about stuff though. I mean... this is Ganja we are talking about here.

Yeah, it totally makes sense how remineralization should be beneficial to the soil. Maybe it just depends on where the rock dust is sourced from and what minerals the soil might need.

Thanks again for explaining how EWC provide everything the plant needs. That makes it easier--and less expensive.

Do you add any amendments or more EWC during flower?

And if deficiencies pop up during organic, is it possible to fix with an amendment? or is it a matter of improving the mix for next time?
