whhhhhaaattttttt great choice.... where did you get her from? how much? such a nice add to the garden, I hear 30%+ from the MAC1

I got her from a well known member from bean basement. I have been dealing with him now for several months and hes a great contact. I paid 150$ for the mac1 plus shipping and materials. My buddy was supposed to get the mac2 so we could trade but he flaked on me lol

Little construction work on the 4.5 x 5.5 room today...

rehung the light brackets so they hang uniform and a little higher to broaden the canopy...

put false walls up w/to Close up the room and help reflect back any light that was being lost into the abyss...

threw up some shelving so make some space and moved the dehumidifier up high to drain into the sink...

Will be removing the old floor cabinet and putting the 3x3 tent in its place...

lots to come

will be pulling down the reflective Mylar and throwing up fresh white paint... more shelves and little retractable work station to be built....

and then fill it with plants

150 not that bad though does he have any journals of the mom/her cuts being flowered out? If it’s legit legit you got a nice score!

Mac1 after sitting in a box for 3 nights

I bet she's looking even better now, cant wait to see what becomes of it

Thank you for your detail. Scooped up that LAB recipe big time for my spring soil grow. Made me think of how my wife makes her Kombucha concoction for some reason
Thank you.

Been a min wats up folx

had a girl hermie and ruin half a room.

other room is half done other half still kicking...

here are some shots of a few girls sitting in a cold dark room to finish the last few days of their lives.
Over all happy with final quality yet the truth is everyone could have been grown better. Yield was lacking and due to some learning curves Some things have been adjusted...

have 4 green crack seeds growing out now... planning to see who is the best and pheno hunt this out...from blimburn so not even sure they will be worth the save but you never know...

also popping 3 runtz and 3 mimosa...


will be a ghost again, I’m tired. Be safe y’all.

 

[maranibbana]

these are a few shots of flowers that are either midway through their dry period, or about to be put into jars curing...
most are still fresh green and working on processing their chlorophyl etc.

they still pretty though...

weights unsure...

will post some shots soon of the Green Crack and Runtz/Mimosa runs....

about to get in some packs from Ethos, Citradellic Sunset (Ghost Train Haze X Mandarin Sunset), Mandarin Cookies (Forum Cookies X Mandarin Sunset), ,and their F-5 Super Lemon Haze (Jack Herer X Lemon Skunk)

super stoked to get a few SLH Males and play with their pollen with the Runtz/Mimosa/Green Crack/Citradellic Sunset/Mandarin Cookies/White Widow/Acapulco Gold etc fuck could be so many good combossssssssssssssssss ugh

a few reg White Widow seeds hanging around, maybe catch a male there too...

lets Gro <3

I think this was a pheno of white widow



Laughing Buddha "banana jungle" pheno


more laughing Buddha


super silver haze x unknown "prosciutto" pheno


Acapulco Gold Pheno #3 "mayans treasure"



ssh x unknown after few days drying (try to make it to 12)



a small of the above pheno (ssh x unknown) after 7 days dry (no cure yet)



more of the ssh x unknown "prosciutto" still on plant after 5 days in dark room @ 55*f 70%RH



G13 Haze.... revegging this one so I can have another go bc she did really well for how badly I grew her... but showing me some bigggggggg potential so I wanna get her back to a point where ill grad a clone to make a mom and then try again.

question...I live in los angeles county....and have been making some KNF inputs. I have made, so far, OHN, FPJ, and the potassium input using tobacco stems. I made the fpj with plantain weeds i found at my local park. what i wanted to know is what are some common herbs/weeds in my area that i can use best for fpj? also, i plan on making my LAB, and IMO's and calcium inputs next. and will be using on some jalapeno plants to test before using on my cannabis plants. and lastly.....those are some great looking buds

nice, you've made a lot good job!

I assume with all the stuff you've made you know who Chris trump is?

I'm more in the midwest and we do have nettles and comfrey here which is nice in the veg stage...
this run I didn't use any FPJ and still had a very nice result... I use a diversity of things tho, I make a lot of my own inputs but I also use recharge weekly, as well as mammoth P, and top dress with EWC and craft blend from build a soil... use their blue oyster inoculated barley straw and their inoculated wood compost as my top mulch...

have used an IMO from my backyard forest....

long answer short I'm not sure of the local plant life in your area but I do know master cho always suggested to use anything you could and that any plant would work in an FPJ extraction done right...

from what I understand its to only take the upper most growth tips for the most growth enzyme content....
the fermentation of it stabilizes the enzymes for storage as well as microbe digestion of plant matter into useable available notes for the plants...

that being said if you are doing any FAA or Fish Hydrolase
or any Kelp teas
or Alfalfa teas
would be a good regime
but then again adding FPJ for more diversity couldn't be a bad thing at all haha

I haven't tackled OHN yet, I've sourced it from red bud soil co, can't seem to find any others out there id trust yet but haven't looked hard.

how has KNF worked for your garden?

I’m just now testing it out on my jalapeño plants. I’ve also been using recharge along with Great white at transplant. I’ve foliar sprayed my plants with aloe Vera, and also some epsom salt foliar. I just transplanted from one gallon to 5 gallon of FFOF with added azomite, D.E.(for silica) and a little extra perlite. I think I can carry them through flower. Plan to get some Foop to feed in flower just in case. I’m making my knf inputs more for my next grow to be honest. I want the whole set. Lol

Looking very good so far! Do you plant to flip now or veg a bit?

currently have 4 GC sitting in 15gal pots with worms and the whole jazz

and setting up 6 30gal containers for this next run coming with the runtz and mimosa etc

These are the GC in the 15’s hanging out with a few moms in need of transplants and the runts/mimosa seedlings That are going in the 30’s and some phenos I’m revegging to grab a clone of to make a momma etc...


Runtz/mimosa


success on the reveg

 

[Pparker88]

Those all look great. I’m still pretty green at this and I’m happy so far. I’ve been mentored by @ilovereggae a whole bunch. That has helped immensely.

and my plan is to install a trellis this weekend and scrog it. they’ve been topped 3x each and just now growing the new shoots. Just going to do a 3x3 in my 4x4 tent so I can fit my heater.

 

[maranibbana]

If you get the whole set you won’t need to buy nutrients at all imo

Tbh I’ll say as many have before me
you can grow amazing top shelf bud on par with some of the best out there with...
-great quality soil (I love build a soils lite soil as a base)
-great quality earth worm castings as a top dress
-mulch layer
-kelp tea
-alfalfa tea
-compost tea of any or all of the above
-SSTs (Hemp, barley, oat, Alf, corn)
-LAB
-FFJ (bananas are amazing)
****
-recharge
-mammoth p (it’s expensive but honestly everything I grow no matter the Pheno flowers out coated)

a solid water regime and relationship with the garden.

no Ph pen
Zero run off

Water quality is important.
Some say no RO

I use RO and add in filtered tap to a base of 100-150ppm...but you could do it plain to...

Bc no run off no leaching etc...everything stays in pot saturated.

i I like a low ppm bc its not stable and it’s ph can be altered very easily, so when it goes into soil it changes to whatever the soils ph is...

my soil out of the bag tests at 6.1 ph saturated...ideally the plain RO will maintain that

Even so in compost tea there no need to ph

The ppms of my tea read at 1500ppm yet Wouldn’t have the same impact as 1500ppm from salt based lets.

Keeping microbe diverse results in wider spectrum of available nutes as long as they are kept alive and healthy in a live able ph range.

I’m high and blabbering and can’t remember why now so imma go make a smoothie haha

Yeah you’re doing great, always learning with you brother

 

[maranibbana]

I just remembered what I was blabbering about,

when it comes to water in Organics/living soil esp, look into the contents of your local tap water, even if you’re filtering out the chlorine/chloramines, you must know the base ppm coming from tap bc the dissolved minerals will remain in the water unless it’s run through deionization resin or RO filtration. the issue I was having that took me forever to find out what was throwing my soil ph off and plant health was that my city’s tap water was very alkaline at 9.5ph and say at around 300ppm...let it bubble for 24 hr and the ph drops to 7.5 and sits there... I would have to add crazy amounts of phos acid to drop it only for it to shoot my EC up with P, and watch it also slowly creep back up over time... it would do the same thing in my soil eventually throwing off the entire balance...came to find that the amount of calcium/bicarbonate in the water results in a higher buffering capacity, and thus stabilizes it. There’s more science to it that I won’t act like I know how to regurgitate haha. Anyway when I strip my water all the way to 0ppm through RO and deionization, I could add one drop of anything and the water would jump to the ph of that...

But when I wasn’t, because I do zero run off, salt build up from the amount of bicarbonate in my water even after carbon/sediment filtration would build up as well as the P from
The phos acid, if I’m not mistaken phos acid reacts with calcium as well somehow...
Lots of imbalance

anyway most soil growers look over this a lot I feel

You mentioned fpj using banana do you use flowers or skins ?

You mentioned fpj using banana do you use flowers or skins ?

I think you asked me this before I’m sorry for not answering, I personally Use the entire fruit And skin and if I had the flower I’d use that but in its own separate jar as it’s own fpj.
I love the banana fruit/skin one, ends up smelling like Carmel banana beer to me

 

[Leeski]

Thanks for reply don’t think I asked you before but hey ho yer I have used the whole fruit but was concerned about the amount of sugar I’m having to use as there’s so much moisture in the fruit yer smells and tastes amazing lol
I finally got round to making wcap have not used as of yet
