The true 'earth juice' tutorial 2011!!!!

[cannawizard]

So here is my set-up i'll be going with, the grow is already into it 4th week and its 2nd week of veg! I have just done the following to them, topped 7/15/11 transplanted into 2 gallon buckets and LST'ed them 7/18/11 The strains are Pineapple Xpress, Midnight Kush,and Sour Kush (headband)

I began this grow with a basic potting soil that consisted of Peat moss, Perlite,lime, forest compost,sand, and a couple of other things.. I did not add anything to the soil as an additive but i used a tea instead in the tea i used the following..

Blood Meal
Bone Meal
Alaska Fish Ferts
Bat gano (Grow)
Black Worm Castings
Mollasses

I then added the complete line of Earth Juice nutes to the mixure, and let it brew for 48 hours once done i used this to soak my soil and then let the soil cure for 7 days after the 7 days i repotted my plants into the final pots and this is where we are at now..

--look at those girls, nice & healthy.. good work

*saw ur thing about curing ur soil for 7 days, i let mines slide for 1-2weeks.. dependant on was added in the soil.. started making/rejuvenating soil ever since i learned about that lost amazon fertile soil made b aztecs on discovery channel..


--cheers

Whats up Panda been a lil while? hell to the yeh im still lurking around here trying to perfect my thumb if you may...Glad tomhere from you what you got going?

Stink, Yeah its been a minute. Just recently started getting back to checking out the site daily, couldn't stay away any longer....... At the moment I have nothing growing right now. I've been reading up on waterfarm grows lately, and just recently began reading up on the organic grow approach not even two weeks ago. It just so happens that a person I had previously sub'd to(you) is still going strong AND doing the organic grow approach on a seperate journal. What luck for me! Wish you the best on this grow!!

Hey thanks for the comps and as for you my man you dont need no LUCK you just have to jump right nack in im sure you are more than ready.Yeah this is the first step for me getting the Organics down and then from there im going to be doing it by way of hydro..so we will see how that ends up!!

 

[stinkbudd1]

These are the girls i had them under 24 hour darkness and then i flipped them 12/12 last night Today they should be finally dry enough to need water so i will began to feed the the EJ soution at half strenth and see how that goes..

 

[stinkbudd1]

So here we are at day 5 of flowering and they still are doing very well not to get to over-excited but i feel real good about the new nutes and soil system im using..

Today will be the second time for Watering or feeding as i have let them dry almost completely out i will be feeding them the brew tommorow of earth juice Grow Bloom and Catalystat a lil less then full strenth and see how they handle that,but so far all seems well and i hope it continues that way.

1) Midnight Kush

2) Sour Kush

3) Pineapple X

One of the things with these organics mixes,( I use General Organics), is that they tell you not to ph the mix because you are killing off the beneficial bacteria, etc., with the ph up/down. That is why they recommend not to ph your mix, the soil will take care of it. Kind of like when it rains, same thing, rain here was 8.6 ph yesterday, should be bad for the plants but the soil buffers it so they don't get affected and are able to still uptake nutes. Some nutes, like Silica Blast, take your mix all the way down to 5ph, but thats because at 5 is where it is taken up by the plant the most efficient. I have seen silica blast take 6.5, 7, even 8.5 water right down to 5, funny, makes no difference!

Also to the 3 people who voted that organics taste worse than chemicals HAH!! Grow up, when you are old enough to shave then you can vote!

Alright be nice ibe, lol we all have our opinions. butwelcome to the thread and just as you have i hope you can continue to add some knowledge to it for all to use...

LMAO! I know, bro, couldn't help it though! Everytime non-organic weed comes thru I know it, can tell it right off the bat, funny how the taste makes a big, big difference. Even though I've got a bad back, tennis and golf elbow's in both arms, I will never switch from organic (or as close as I can get to it) just for that fact. I like tasting what is IN the plant, not what has been put INTO the plant. Great thread, bro, I'm thinking the way it started out it's got a future as a sticky!

A peak into the flowering of my girls this is the Sour Kush @ day 17 flowering..the others are about 10 days or so behind this one! So far im loving the EJ man...

 

[stinkbudd1]

Here is a lil extra bonus for you all that are tuned in for this EJ tutorial This ia a plant i re-vegg'd because i didnt take any clone off her and she was a instant favorite so i re-vegg'd her in regular soil and have followed the EJ nutes for Them as well the only thing that is different is im using regular soil for her but the EJ is performing very well so far she will look just as good as she did when she was in her other life..Blue Diesel...

Ive actually got some tests going with earth juice vs fox farm. I have 3 different strains ( all from same mothers) going 3ff and 3ej. So far they are about 3-4 ft tall and in their 2nd week of flowering. From a birds eye view theres not much difference. I dont really care what they look like throughout the grow only what the final product is. I use ONLY tap water and bubble my EJ mix for 48 hrs. For me, it takes pretty much exactly 48 hrs for my EJ mixes to ph themselves to a perfect 6.5-7.0. If my yields are similar and my organics truly taste and smoke better, I will be switching to EJ full time. One of the mane perks for me is that if i end up liking EJ better, I will never have to fill up my water jugs again. Since I dont have an RO system, this is a huge plus. I dont mind having to mix up some organice nutrients for 48 hours as long as I can use tap water and not have to lug around big ass jugs. I will deff let everyone know the results in roughly 6 weeks. Things I am taking into consideration for the test include : Taste, smell, yield, flowering time, bud structure, stretch, high (effect, length, strength), and most importantly, overall satisfaction.

Peace

Hey thanks Ken for the very good post and info i will be definately keeping my eyes open and my ears to the groud waiting for you to complete your grow challange!Should be interesting to see how it comes out so far so long as i could remember back to when i was using the complete Fox Farms nutrients i do believe that this grow is out performing the grows of past with the FF yet hey are different strains so im not sure about the actual validity of it..But hey please feel free to post and share any info you may come across as well as pic's of you grows and its progress..thanks again for a great post..

 

[lbezphil2005]

Great job, bro! How long did it take for them to reveg, then how long did you veg before flower? I did a super lemon haze like that, the only drawback I had was only vegging for a couple of weeks after she showed new growth again, my end result was way way smaller than yours, bro!!

 

[stinkbudd1]

Whats up Ibe? im not really sure how long the total veg was i think though that from harvest and after repot it was 45 days before i flipped to 12/12 so this should be somewhere right around day 65 total i will double check and give you a ore acurate time frame..

 

[stinkbudd1]

O'k so i harvested this plant on the 27th of may today is the 16th of august bringing the total number of days to 79 from repot..The total number of days since going 12/12 has been 22 so when i flipped her she was a pire ole 57 days from harvest!

nice work!

Thanks and welcome!!
