Check out these frosty leaves..
Harvested a week early and all at once (vs staging the harvest), these 2nd generation organic beauties still pumped out a near qp per plant, and that was without the root-expanding myco.
Hung by their roots for 10 days then into bags and jars for their rh fine tuning..
Sitting at 55% overall now they are burning smooth with epic expansion, thanks to the gramps and the ice regime tip
So now we have third genners goin who actually got their myco, and will get harvested in at least two stages..
Should be solid-good!
Smelling like fruit loops, lemon jet fuel, and Ajax, with Kushy undertones

What are the yield expectations when switching from 7g to 20gal !?
Cause this is already awesome..
& It's hard to believe that quality can increase even more, by going even cleaner in the mix from now on..
This girl had a plethora of tops coated in resin and now she's cured for a few weeks..
Sour Puss is her name,
Serious munchies her game..

Heres the last shot i could find alive..3 or 4 weeks before harvest..
Wish I woulda taken a pic of these beasts right as they finished but life got crazy and well, fast forward a full month or two..
Here they are once again, at 55-60% rh about to hit the wine cooler..
Figured they deserved one last shot as a big happy bouquet
Peace!

Update!
Got a nice 25gallon Reserve Prevada Chocolope going in the newest soil blend, fresh off the press, I'm stoked, big time- she's getting some real room to play this round
Also got some beautiful, bushy, four headed, Deep Purpłe Kushs to finally try from Provision.. They look like perfect poised praying cacti.. @DonPetro was requesting this awhile back..
Also got some classic Kosher Kush going this round, they're growing so fast and remain the lushest and shiniest..can't wait for their bursting organic flavour and insane terps
Got a few 3rd gen Sour Puss' and 3rd gen Silver Ice's (SLCh), too, they'll be this rounds' returnees.. try beat their yield from last round.. Thanks to couple thangs..
Purpłe Diesel makes a return as well, and is looking really healthy..
Green Crack makes its debut as well! She's a girl and very perky..
Stay tuned for SWEET pics in the next 48!!
Gotta fly and get high!
Peace!!!

Thanks Payne!
It was insane to baster feed those big girls for 100 days but we did it.. Hard to find a good watering can that I like, lmao
As for tweaks, dropping aeration 2%
Got rid of rock phosphate forevermore
Introducing our DIY compost finally, been breaking down 2 years, its beautifully sifted now and charged with goodies
Also brought in Neptune shell crab meal
Other than that, trying a side by side with two soils, one has local red wiggler castings and the other has African night crawlers from Montreal
This round will also mark the end of vermiculite and perlite as we commence our shift to lava rock, rice hulls rotted wood, and pumice
Cause from here on out I'm gonna grow aluminum free, organic and 95% vegan, my friend..

Fucking A dude, that mix you got coming ie lava rock, hulls, rotted wood is going to be banner!!!! I have never used perlite here and I never will. Last round was killer as fuck. Cant wait to see this one coming. You'll be happy with both castings I think and will be interesting to see which one wins.

Im stoked too!!
big time.. gonna win a cup with it i bet
Meanwhile, I'm not tooo worried bout my use of perlite tbh, just cause I always rinse it good with RO and add it after mellowing my meals in, so its no where near hot and acidic when being added, but I hear you.. And props for keepin it kosher, P
Why risk it and have to even worry, right?
The fact that perlite and vermiculite are the only two amendments available locally shows how much learning the store owners have to learn around here still..
Imagine the world without us organic guys.. Gawdamn
That's too sad to even think about, all our herb is sooooo good

I wouldnt have minded using it in the early days but couldnt find it here anyway so no loss. Reason I wouldnt use it now because it eventually floats to the top and renders itself useless and that doesnt work in no till. I got some local red volcanic/lava rock from the highlands here. The guys which plant trees use it here with great success so thats what I use for aeration. My neighbor sells rice so just need to print a picture of the hulls and I think I'll be in business with them too. Much easier to show a picture than trying to wade through wrong pronunciationsIm stoked too!!

Yeah I used lava rock in my outdoor mix last year and vastly preferred it to perlite. Perlite all ends up in the top the pot and then on the ground anyway. I am very curious to see the difference in the wiggles to. Do you farm the night crawlers or buy em? I have an newer establish red wiggler bin, and one that's pretty rocking out. Luckily I have a lot of on the farm inputs to give the worms. The worms are definitely awesome to have on hand!
Can those night crawlers be housed in same bien or they need their own?

I have European night crawlers and red wigglers in the same bin. Everyone's happy.

Mind snapping a pic of your bin? Lets see some worm bin porn! Im a cheap bastard, mines just 2 huge rubber made tubs with some small wholes drilled for air/ drainage. I cover crop the bin though, used sunflowers one round, then clover, now have kodaik mustard in it for the cover crop. I like having some live roots in it to keep mycos expanding and then i bury for the worms to eat.

I'll see about taking a picture tomorrow. I'm about to break it up into two bins. Hopefully I'll be able to have three bins by the end of the year. There was alot of babies in the bin when I harvested my castings. Hopefully it's really booming now. Mine is also in plastic bins.

MAD Respect!!! Love the rice hull pic idea.. What a life u got bro, so coolI wouldnt have minded using it in the early days but couldnt find it here anyway so no loss.
