I have some that stretch really bad so I just been leaning them over and they bush out nicely.
Yeah, I can't imagine what this thing is gonna do when she's flipped. She might want about 6 feet or something, LOL. Not the tightest node structure I've come across lately. The Lemon Thai Kush is the same way, all stalk not many side shoots. Peace & Love.

EDIT: Hard to go wrong with extra EWC, I like to add them every time I re-amend. I like to use some extra Humus too, but there is quite a bit in the EWC already. A little bit can go a long way if properly mixed.

I hope so, I been yielding sbout 1.5 oz per plant and getting one plant a week maybe 2, well I smoke heavy and I tend to give my friends nug too so I run out really quick, but I have a stash but its nasty tasting thc bomb lol do blueberries ususlly yield well? I cant believe anywords othert than who is here becauss their is proof behind words and pictures speak a million. You guys grow so dank buds and I would like to say thank you for being who you are and for growing organics, and for being the most knowledgeable and more help on the net, I think we all will make each other's stuff better and better by useful , simple info right here and sir gandlafs thread, amen to you guys!
The THC bomb I grew out was very tasty, a little sweet; not blueberry sweet, but tasty non the less.

When you re-amend the soil on the 2nd generation, should I add anymore humus / ewc, or only the dry amendments?
I know there are a few ways to get this done. I'll wait for st0w or Rrog to chime in on this one. I know how the Rev does it. I'll post it up after I get this blunt of Sun Maiden rolled up. :eyesmoke:

I add a bit more, but you don't have to. If you're top dressing with ewc along the way then there is no need to IMO. Just be sure to add some more aeration bits if you add more ewc (your soil will start to compact if you don't). ACT's allow you to really stretch your ewc out as well.

This is my worm bin. I brewed an alfalfa/kelp tea last night and added the spent material to my worm bin along with some dandelions from my yard, and coffee grounds and egg shells from that morning, and then covered it with a layer of shredded cardboard that I had laying around. Everything gets recycled through the worm bin, and in a few weeks I'll have some nice castings that are crawling with beneficial microbes at zero cost to me. Those bags of castings that you are buying are not only expensive, but they are of inferior quality. I've read stories about these commercial worm farms feeding their worms cheap dog food. That can't be good.

I can't stress this aspect of organic growing enough to you mayo. Less than $50 will get you a nice bin set up. I'm going to keep pestering you about this until you get on it! :-)

The Rev keeps it very simple. The roots of the prior plants hold incredible nutrients for the next run. Toss the old soil, root ball and all, into a large bin or whatever. Break apart the root ball with a shovel. Add water just to the point of being moist. Add a dry source of N at 3 tbs per cft. Let cook at least 30 days. Turn the mix over every 5 days. You can add 1 tsp of molasses per gallon to remoisten the mix and to get the microlife going.

I personally like to mix in a bunch of ewc too. The Rev swears by a worm bin too. He adds plenty of amendments to his worm bin and collects it in a much better form when the worms are finished. I need a worm bin.

I want to start to run clones in the same container with the root ball of a finished plant. Is this all reamendded with top dressings and teas?

I am on it. I promise. We all need to do this.

I'm with you on that. I'm going to try a couple plants no-till next round.

I"m pretty certain that when doing this you will scratch in some dry amendments on the top and cover with ewc/soil. Then plant a cover crop like clover which will keep the top layer of soil biologically active and fix atmospheric N for you as well. The container then sits for a month or so (being kept moist) while the rootball is being broken down and the new amendments you have added are being processed, becoming bio-available for when you stick your cut in there. Hopefully Rrog will chime in here and clarify this for us.

I found a fella about an hr and half drive from my house. Sells worm casting compost @ $4 a 40lb bag. He starts selling in May, and is usually out within the month. Great stuff. Bought 15 bags last season.

I think you guys are confused, LOL. I smoke before I eat for a better appetite, and then afterwards to keep it down without issues. I wish I could exist on smoke alone, hell I would be healthy as an athlete. Maybe #3 for understanding, LOL. I'll get on that! Peace & Love.

Kali Mist Pheno 4. Unmanicured. First smoke at "almost jarring" stage. Spicy and very uplifting. This is the pheno I have chosen to cross with. Sample flower. Frost monster. I am smoking this right now.

ROFL!! It's hard to tell what's a calyx, or leaf, or what's goin on there. One thing you can see is a crap ton of trich's, Woooooooo! That's some pretty medicine Gandalf. I see now why you chose that particular pheno to breed with. Very impressive bro! Enjoy your meds, after all you do to make your plants as healthy as you get em, you deserve it.
Peace & Love.
