db003's super soil chem city devil super sour lemon OG autoflower tester grow

[db003]

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

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

hello everyone time for a watering update of my super soil grow of the super sour lemon OG autos and the Chem city devil autos from puff puff pass genetics

these autoflower plants got filtered water that was ph. to 6.6 with citric acid I watered them just enough to get a tiny bit run off

these plants are still getting taller everyday I hope they max out soon since today I just raised my light as high as it can go for now I might have to rearrange it in there a bit so I could raise the light a bit more if I have too

these plants are in day [HASHTAG]#39[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#35[/HASHTAG] from sprout

hello everyone time for a watering update of my super soil grow of the super sour lemon OG autos and the Chem city devil autos from puff puff pass genetics

these autoflower plants just got filtered water that was ph. to 6.6 with citric acid crystals I am starting to see a little yellow developing on a few spots on some of the plants so I will give them a dose of Cal mag with there next watering to see if that helps

its pretty cool that the plants are looking this good considering that these plants have only gotten plain water from the start of this grow with no help of any extra nutrients added other then what's already in the super soil mix

that super soil is doing its job nice so far I cant wait to see how they do in full flower like I said it looks like they need a dose of Cal mag but other then that they are doing great

the canna cigar experiment is almost done!

I just checked on my canna cigar I unwrapped the twine and it looks great so I am going to leave it unwrapped I put the canna cigar I made in my wooden rolling box so I could take some pictures and let it breath a little bit before I put it back in the jar to cure a bit longer

I got a chance to weigh the canna cigar since I forgot not measure how much bud I used when I started the canna cigar experiment it came out to 7.7 grams holy crap its heavy lol

once its done curing I will do a smoking update I am sure its going to take at least few friends and bit of time to smoke it all
