I’ll jump in

Bed full of homemade soil, started off based off the Cornell soil recipe but that was roughly four years ago. Been adding home made compost made from chicken bedding and food garden waste along with assorted dry ammendments based on soil tests. Most recently I added a bunch of feather meal as I’m always chasing nitrogen. Varieties are as follows

Thug pug-7 of 9
Bodhi-Soul Mate
Ak Bean Brains-CGPR X TK/NL5Hazw
Ocean Grown-Ninja Fruit


I’ll post a pic with each plant labeled if I get around to it. These plants just got transplanted Into the bed last week and put into bloom yesterday. I’ll water in some Epsom salts mixed with a fish hydroslate/emulsion mix end of the week, which should get the soil kicking for next couple weeks. Epsom salts watered in right before bloom has been kicking ass, started doing that with my tomato plants right before fruit set and the results were killer. Figured it would help cannabis plants at same time as the metabolic processes are super similar. Good luck everyone
 
Edna at the nursing home tells old Harry that if he shows her his penis she can tell him his age.

He pulls down his pants and she looks and says: “you’re 88.”

“Wow,” he says, how did you guess that?”

“You told me yesterday.”

Nice plants,pulling up a chair.
Ill throw in an organic gal called Zour Apple.Clone about a month old.Second time around so hoping for better results this time.Shes in home made soil getting Gaia weekly.

Here are 2 of my actual plants. Biggest one is White Domina from Kannabia and the other is Gorilash, from a local breeder.

Recycled soil of my first organic run, poorly re amended with what i had left. Will add a layer of a new organic soil batch i mixed up a few weeks ago.

White Domina was topped leaving two sets of nodes. It lost a branch and from the 3 left, 2 were clearly more activated than the other one.
I did some LST in order to activate the lower nodes on those now primary branches, but ended up topping them with better results.

With Gorilash i wanted to only do some LST and bending, etc. but lacking time and attention to take good care, so i ended up topping her too after having it tied down a few weeks.

It’s amazing how you can have an ugly ass plant yet still harvest killer bud from it. This is the last strawberry sour diesel cross harvested; been running this particular cut for years just cloning it over and over. She was completely yellow to orange with purple sugar leaves by the end; all the fans had shriveled up & died. Went almost to 12 weeks and the reservoir ran dry; she basically died on the vine. Looked so sad and wilted I made sure not to take pics but now I wish I did. Buds are rock hard and dense but small; never was a high yield strain. Potency is there; 2 hitter quitter. The distinct NY sour D with fruity undertone flavor is what keeps this strain running here; nothing else tastes quite like it.

Almost one week since last picture. Top dressing with the new organic soil batch has worked.
I used to not train outdoor plants, but with some topping and LST i managed to have more shots and give the plant a more bushy/spherical shape.

I up potted the Zour Apple to 5 G today. I mixed up some promix hp with Gaia 444 and some of my home made soil. This mix is a lot lighter then what she had last run. She’s been in a 2 G for a month. Figured it was time to up pot. Flower room is in week 9 so should be moving her over soon. Have to get more sand to cover her up. C2A7F6F0-42D9-4D77-AF77-AF48B962FA2A.jpeg
 
Nice to see an organic thread!

I’ve got a pretty simple recipe for now but looking to make some compost this year.

All planted in Peat, EWC, dol lime, bat guano, perlite and a Little Rock dust. Given organic nutrients when the soil tires which is about the 5-6 week mark.

Just a bunch of autos but I like the 1 tent many stages idea, suits my style. Plus I get a new plant to try every few weeks.

this gelato is just finishing up (day 77)
