I just finished up transplanting into 1 gallon containers. Everything went smooth. No rips, tears, or bumps. I made some very interesting observations.
1. The roots were spinning at the bottom of the cups in at least half of them. The Super Blue Dream x Freedom Baby has a way more vigorous root system than the Starlet Kush and the OB Ripper. The LA Haze were in the middle. I did not expect the roots to be so developed with the shape they are in.
2. As I posted yesterday, the autos roots are way ahead of the "normal" plants. 3-4 times as developed while being the same size and condition.
3. Never use RO water without phing it with FFLW. I am in conflict again over my well water. The ph of the well is 6.3-6.5 steady and ppms are 60-70. The Rev calls for only RO, distilled, and rain water to be used. The RO is working great in the flowering and older veg crew for now. I think the RO and its ph of
5.6-5.8 is way too low for the soil. I will be adjusting it when using plain water only from now on. They say to never adjust your teas in organics but I am going to break the rule on this one too. Hell I am using Earth Juice how bad can it be.
The TLO mellow mix is simply:
1 part organic soil
1 part coco
1 part perlite
I use Happy Frog since this is the Rev's mix for seedlings, clones, and very light feeding plants. I add extra ewc. Tomorrow I am going to give the sickies the TLO seedling/clone tea.
2 tsp of molasses
1 tsp of balanced liquid fish fertilizer
1 tbs of alfalfa meal
1 tbs of kelp meal
1/2-1 cup of ewc
1 tsp of dry or liquid seaweed
10 drops of GO CaMg+
Bubble 24-48 hrs. This is made to be diluted 2 parts tea to 1 part water. You can 1:1 it if you want also. This is a great tea for landrace strains or light feeders.
BTW.......the 5.6-5.8 came in on 3 ph pens I use since I'm nuts.
The Kali Bubba is going to come in around the same time as the Kali Mist I think. I could be wrong but they look so similar. The Kali Bubba continues to be the monster of the room. She is so healthy. I'll get some pictures of her tonight.
