RH: 45%-55%
For Growth/Veg stage:

Soil mix: peat,pumice,ewc,chicken&steer manure

amendments used: dr.earth dry ferts,great white,fish emulsion, floralicouis plus,epsom salts, vitalize by mills

Amounts used:
dr.earth mixed into soil/ 2tbs per gallon
Planting hole dusted w/great white
Fish emulsion 1xtime a week/ 1tbs per gallon
Epsom salt/ 1/2 tsp per gallon
Mollasses
Floralicouis plus .5 ml per gallon
Mills vitalism/ .5 ml per liter
TND PH DOWN (citric)

extra nutrients amendments on hand:
Liquid koolbloom
Roots organic grow terp tea 7-1-1
PK booster by mills
C4 by mills
Mosquito dunks (for fungus gnats)

how I use them :
feed/feed/water/water/repeat

feed#1
Fish emulsion5-1-1/1tbs per gallon
Molasses/.. 1 the per gallon
Epsom salt/.. 1 tsp per gallon
Ph’d to 6.0-6.3

feed#2
Floralicouis plus/ .5 ml per gallon
Ph’d to 6.0-6.3

WATER
WATER
foilar spray .5 ml of vitalize (mono silicon) on 2nd water day..
Mosquito dunk w/ water when needed..


Optional methods I might add:
Compost tea 1x3 weeks
Roots organic terp tea 1x3

my questions on methods, etc..
1. How long should I veg after transplanting from 1 gallon to 7 gallon before flipping to flower to avoid being root bound in flower?

2. Can I bottom water when just on plain water days? And water from top when using additives and nutes

2,did I defoliate to much or just about right amount?

3. Should I water to run off 2nd plain water day to avoid build up of nutrients even if there organic ?

4. Should I let it get completely dry before watering or is it okay to water when it’s slightly damp and cool to the touch to avoid harming microbes ? I’m watering as soon as I see the leaves are not perky but not wilted ..
Usually there perky and praying and soon as I see tht there not as perky or praying,
I thenwater and they perk right up and praying .

I have more questions tht I can’t think of at the moment also If I’m missing something I’m doing with the grow I’ll edit it in later ..
Appreciate any suggestions or tips , thank you for any input anyone can provide I’m all ears
and open minded

anyways here some pics of my lady before defoliation and after also ..

thank you,

Before defoliation:


After defoliation:

1. How long should I veg after transplanting from 1 gallon to 7 gallon before flipping to flower to avoid being root bound in flower?
You can flip as soon as you transplant or wait a few weeks.
2. Can I bottom water when just on plain water days? And water from top when using additives and nutes
Yes
2,did I defoliate to much or just about right amount?
Good but more is better. All bud sites need direct light if you want more tops.
3. Should I water to run off 2nd plain water day to avoid build up of nutrients even if there organic ?
Read your plants and do as needed, there is no set schedules.
4. Should I let it get completely dry before watering or is it okay to water when it’s slightly damp and cool to the touch to avoid harming microbes ? I’m watering as soon as I see the leaves are not perky but not wilted ..
Usually there perky and praying and soon as I see tht there not as perky or praying,

Having a good dry back is helpful in soil, just do not let it get bone dry and microbes should be good.

Depending on your height restraints you can veg for a decent time time if you feed now like you do into flower.

I'm not sure on the logics of bottom watering so I defer here.

Unless its for air flow I dont defoliate. Leaves are energy and food.

Runoff is only necessary with salt based additives

Watering with organic soil is an art. Learn pot weight. Use a finger poke test in the soil. The soil should never dry out but you want the roots to search for moisture and breathe properly. Its a learned practice
