hello everyone I just gave these seedlings a watering I gave them plain water ph. to 6.7 with citric acid crystals
all the seedlings are doing well so far but I am having a problem every time I water the seedlings they are falling over its the dam empire soil I used this time it does not drain as well as roots organic so when I water its uprooting my seedlings because its not draining fast enough and that's even after I added perlite to the soil I would hate to see how it would have been if I did not add any
next time I will try and stick to my go to soil roots organic or try something else I have never tried fox farm ocean forest but I heard its a but to hot for seedlings so I was thinking about happy frog or something like that I will have to look around
ok so that would make this day [HASHTAG]#11[/HASHTAG] and day [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG]
I checked on the seed I have germinating it has a tail but its just barley poking out so I will leave it for another day and see if its ready to plant tomorrow

hello everyone I just gave these autoflowers in super soil a watering I gave them plain filtered water ph. to 6.7 with citric acid crystals
great news I installed a 4 stage water filter under my bathroom sink so now I can give my plants filtered water its not a R/O water system basically it just filters the water thought a sediment filter a few carbon filters and a carbon polishing filter
it will help get rid of the chlorine in the water and other stuff that's not desirable in the water without stripping everything out of the water and there is no water waste since there is no R/O water membrane that's the part that wastes all the water and if I want R/O I can always add it on to my system I have installed
so far so good it looks like I will have these plants slightly behind each other since some of them were sprouted late buts its fine its only like a week or two off so no big deal
4 of these plants are in day [HASHTAG]#17[/HASHTAG] from sprout one is in day [HASHTAG]#11[/HASHTAG] from sprout and the last one is in day [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] from sprout

time for the second half of my canna cigar experiment! so I wanted to do a experiment and try and roll my own canna cigar just for fun and science!
I took some bud on 5-10-17 I harvested from my last grow and basically just took the bud and wrapped it around the chop stick. the bud still had a nice stickiness to it so it should work good and it has been curing like that since 5-10-17
its now 6-3-17 and I was removing some lower leaves from my plants and thought it was the perfect time to finish my second half of the canna cigar and took the biggest fan leaves and cut the biggest fingers off and put them in a container
I took a bunch of old wax containers I had that still had small amounts of wax in them and used the wax as a glue to hold the ends of the tips of the leaves to wrap around the bud that was curing on the chop stick and once it was all wrapped up
I carefully rewrapped the now leaf-wrapped canna cigar I did it slow so I could make sure not to overlap the strings when I was wrapping it back up I just wanted to make sure I got a good wrap on it lol
so its all wrapped up now I just have to wait a few more weeks until the leaves dry and cure and since I have the cigar in a mason jar it will do it nice and slow

Hahaha awesome I like the cigar and good luck on your grow .
I mixed up another batch of super soil today! here is a list of what I used in my super soil mix this time.
batch was made with
18 lbs. of master organic worm castings
1.25 lbs. Bat Guano--------------------- (0-7-0)
1.25 lbs. Bone Meal-------------------- (3-16-0)
1.25 lbs. Blood Meal--------------------(12-0-0)
3 tbsp. Epsom Salt
1.5 tsp. Powdered Humic Acid
1/2 cups-kelp powder
1.5 cups Alfalfa Meal
1.5 cups Oyster Shell Flour
1.5 cups kelp meal
1.5 cups-Azomite
1/2 cup Mycorrhizal Fungi
1 cup Potash
this was mixed with 2x 1.5 cubic feet bags of Dr. earth pot of gold all purpose potting soil and about 1 cubic foot of Vigoro perlite but I might add some more perlite later and was hand mixed by me and a friend in a 55 gallon tote that I got from home depot once it was well mixed I added 2 and a half gallons of filtered water and mixed it up some more and put on my porch to chill until its ready
on a side note when I was adding my worm castings to the super soil mix I found quite a few small worms in the worm castings still alive in there when I was breaking up the bigger chunks to make sure it was mixed well not sure if there will stay alive being in that soil on the hot porch but if they do awesome
once it done "cooking" in about 45 to 60 days basically its just giving the soil time to break down the amendments so that plants can uptake the nutrients in the soil a bit easier
this mix will be used only at the bottom half of the pots and I will fill the rest of the pot with plain potting soil and plant my seed or clone in to that so it will have time to establish roots and not get nute burned
everything I used to make this super soil I got at home depot or eBay I got the super soil amendments premixed from eBay and I also got the worm castings from eBay everything else I got at home depot the soil, the perlite and the 55 gallon tote

time for the quick update of my canna cigar experiment!
so today I got a chance to see how my cigar is doing after I did the first layer of leaf wrapping on the canna cigar that I did yesterday and after only one day the leaves were starting to form really well on the cigar. so I decided to do the second warp of leaves and what I think will be the final wrap on the cigar well at least I hope so lol
this time when I wrapped the cigar with the leaf blades I made sure to have the leaves facing up just for looks and I also found out if you use fresh leaves. like I did you can carefully cut part of the vein off the back of the center of the leaf just make sure not to cut the leaf blade
you dont want any holes in the leaf blades it helped when it came time to use the wax as glue since it now had a flat surface so it could stick better and also kept the leaf blades from popping back up since the veins made the leaf blades more ridged
after it was done being wrapped with leaf blades for the second time I wrapped the sting around it to seal the leaves hopefully for the last time and will let it cure for a few weeks if I can wait that long lol
