Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

[Scotch089]

I know this isn't plant problems but there are several familiar faces here and I'm pretty sure this is my first Rols fuck up.

I transplanted/watered them Sunday and this morning this little tyke looked like hell. Overwatered? Very soft stem and the leaves are not brittle.



Btw these are Roma seedlings not ganga

Bad plant? Everything else looks OK.

Tomatoes can look quite crap as youngsters. Did you buy F1? If not then expect massive variation, as in colossal.

I take off the large fan leaves, and trim the tips of the smaller leaves around the buds if they don't contain any trichomes (I use the frosty trim to make hash). I then hang them to dry until they're a bit crispy to the touch. This takes anywhere from 5-10 days depending on the time of year and RH. If you're unsure bend a stem.... if it snaps take them down. If it's still pliable and just bends, they might need another day or two of drying.

I then remove the nugs from the branches and jar them. You can clean them up at this point if you want prior to jarring too. Once jarred check on them a couple times a day. If they feel "soft" as opposed to crispy leave the jar open for a few hours or dump them out on to a tray or in to a paper bag for a while until they feel crispy again. Repeat this process until you feel that they are adequately dried. This burping process usually only takes a couple days until you have them dialed in for long term storage.

Thank you bro, ill do the stem bending trick aswell every now and then, would it be recommended to hang the buds in the tent with the fan on low ? Or should i just put them in a cardboard box possibly with two 3" fans extracting and blowing ? or shouldnt i use fans at all bro ? Want to try keep as much THC as possible here : ) Respect

Drying is completely dependant on your environment. I typically have anywhere from 30% - 60% rh with temps between 65 and 72 in my area that I dry. My last harvest from this past weekend I stripped all of my fan leaves off and then hung them in cardboard boxes (My closest is full of boxes full of weed lol). I check every two days for edge dryness of the buds and smell. As long as they're throwing off that hay smell I keep them boxed up - usually between 7 and 14 days depending on bud density - until they get crispy and smell more like primo bud than hay, then it's into the jars with a hygrometer after dry trimming the sugar leaves. I don't know why people say dry trimming is a pita, I find wet trimming to be just as tedious and frustrating. I keep my fan leaves on because I've had an issue with not being able to keep moisture in them long enough to get rid of the chlorophyll, starches, etc.

Probably just a Bunk seed, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one popping veggie beans! I've got bell peppers going in my kitchen currently.

Sprinkled some oatmeal on top of my soil.

Now I've got this colony of fungus on there. White fuzz.

Do I turn the soil over now or wait?

 

[Scotch089]

Thanks guys thought I may have watered too much, but the others had relatively the same amount. Yea midwest I'm trying to do some salsa this year!

Depends on your end goal for your soil, if youre ready to plant, and plant preference I think.. Me I like to have a couple different recipes around..
You can save a tiny container in case you want to try a fungal tea later, and turn it in gently in as few turns as possible..unless you need to aerate, then use the opportunity to get in those corners. Good Bacteria can thrive in destroyed fungal networks too.

If you wanna keep this colony thriving you can sprinkle some rice or more meal in the bare parts/corners..or turn this one in build a new one. Usually light or mist will stunt them anyway..

Agreed. I've tried trimming every which way possible and I have settled on trimming when the buds are dry as the easiest way of doing it. If you trim while they're still wet then hang them I find that they dry out too quickly.

When is your cannabis season starting?

 

[Scotch089]

Exactly 100 days as of today. :]

nice can't wait too see u back in the game. Have u been sober this whole time?

I'm currently in full veg mode. My plan is too cover up a 10x8' with 6 plants (40gallons each) scrog in the next two months.

Pics coming soon!

Btw hope your done with them bottles!

 

[Scotch089]

Lol I toked on my b day back in November. It's about every 6 weeks I get called in, they threw me a curve ball that time and called me day 20. The good news is I can be clean in less than 3 weeks ha. I was shittin my pants. TG. Haven't dicked around since.

I'll be bringing some Gogi and sunshine daydream to the table as long as I have a Blumat System to cover me on the honeymoon. If not I'm gonna plant freebies I didn't pay for. We were originally planned 7 days but now we're lookin at 4. Save us close to 2 grand. :O I'm stoked for that Gogi gonna keep any pollen and cross those SOBs

Can't wait to see that lush green from what you have planned brother. Always looking forward to your beauts.

I did ditch the bottles, only things left are ful-power nitrozyme aqua shield Annd that should be it. My protekt froze on me so I'll be Makin some with agsil once I source it.

Hope you're doing well man!

Nice! I'm growing both Gogi and SSDD right now. I love both of them but the Gogi makes me a scatter brained moron.

Gogi



SSDD



Have fun on your honeymoon. Hopefully Aunt Flo doesn't show up!

 

[Scotch089]

Lol no doubt! Worst possible timing. Is that pic of the Gogi yours? ! I Googled it to show the lady and saved it to my phone because I loved it so much. I love me a great sativa but I also want a comfortable stone, the flavor of the ssdd sounds soo Damn good, but so does that strawberry Gogi. Gah I dono which I'm stoked for more. I have skylotus and dreambeaver on the back burner too. Figured I could cross the skylotus with the Skywalker Kush I have from RP and hit Skywalker close to home. Then maybe kosher Kush and Gogi. And jilly, annnnd ace of spades lol. By the end of it I'm gonna have a lot of running to do.

 

[Pattahabi]

Huh. My son gets dry skin behind his knees (not sure if its eczema) so I should try using some neem oil. Any idea if regular neem oil for gardening would be OK or is there a food grade alternative that would be better suited as a topical ointment?

I'm not 100% sure, but if I was a gambling man, I'd say the stuff you use in your garden (especially Ahimsa) would be fine to use. I have also used and seen recipes for neem oil soap and it's really nice stuff. You can buy the soap at neem resource among other places.

Yeah that pic is of a Gogi I chopped a couple weeks ago.

Man, you've got a nice assortment of strains. You're gonna love the SSDD. It's one of the best Indica's I've grown.

Air movement is a good idea. You just don't want a fan blowing directly at your hanging plants.

Will make sure there is some airflow indirectly blowing bro thank you : )

Right. in the room, circulating, good.
Or on a screen, over glass, covered with a sheet of brown paper. Good.
Especially if you have em.

Awesome bro, would a porcelain plate maybe do the trick aswell ?

Oh yea, and be bit careful, much of the plant, up to 30% is terpenes..extremely medicinal terpenes evaporate at low temps, so keep it below 22*C

I think 21*C is Perfect for dense sensi, since mold is best suited to 10-20*C
If you have decent air exchange, even if say only several times a day, or more airy sativas, then you shouldn't even worry one bit.

Sunlight is your enemy
Then the incadecant bulbs and plastic..
Darkness and glass, your friend, mon

Bro did you mean terpenes evaporate at high temperatures or low temperatures ? Cause im going to struggle getting temps below 26c here, ill definitely try see what glass i can get my hands on though. Would ice cubes help with cooling and humidity possibly ? Respect

Terpenes are volatile even at room temp.

That's why you can smell stinky weed from across the room as soon as the jar is opened.

For sure man, i understand what you guys are saying, just trying to work out ways of keeping them in that temperature range i could keep the air conditioner on for the whole drying period but thats going to be a bit overboard. should i not possibly dry them in a box and add some ice cubes with a small fan ? might cause too much humidity though

Cool thread. I hear if you soak your undies in Eagle20 you can get vigor like Ron Jeremy in 1985.

Peace!

How did you like that Cascadian Frost? I ordered a pack but never got around to popping them because the Zazen I grew didn't impress me that much. Should I give em a go?
