New Grower Hypathetical Gardener - The Perpetual cmh/led log

[bad dragon bzzz]

needs must and all that pal :smoking: most of us just chop the whole plant down,some do a 2 part harvest,some a 3 part.and when needs really really must,sometimes theres not much left of the plant come harvest time
im a big fan of perputual grows,id much rather have a smaller plant harvested every say 21-28-35 ish days than the wait of 70-80 days till next harvest.
good luck n keep er lit

Soo i was putsing around the aurora innovations site. As it turns out they have a bunch of dry and liquid organics than i thought. And they have a pick 3 samples.. So of course i did. Its either 2 liquid and a dry or 3 dry. I went dry of course. So between my handy dandy new feed schedule and (in 4 to 6 weeks) new stuffs, i should not have to make my future grows suffer through phosphorus / calmag issues. Not that its terrible, but noticable on a few leaves from the ww. It just doesnt make sense to feed them when i intend to chop them down in a couple weeks.

Thats the link to same page. Its like 8.50us for shipping... Definately worth it tho. A bag is normally 15 to 25. Ill gladly take a half pound of 3 diff inputs for 8 bucks.
My bad if i said free, ill go edit.

Heres the feed chart ill be starting when the samples get here. Until then itll be just the grow, bloom, biolive and worm castings.

This is based on running 12 weeks.

FRUSTRATIONS:
I am confused and frustrated. Ive got og kush and ak47 both autos doing fine. Both seeds popped soil on tuesday and have since put on their set of 3 fingers.
Purple kush popped but never broke soil. So i replaced it with a black domina auto. I planted friday night. Its still not at or above soil and i didnt see anything near the surface thismorning. Its already 1 week behind the others.
I wanted 3 running with 2-3 more to follow so i have an almost continuous harvest. Eventually i want to be harvesting 2ish plants every 4 weeks... Harvesting each plant after 12 weeks. So id always have 6 plants. Harvest 2 and plant again next day.
But this is throwing me off schedule a bit. I am however hopeful that each plant will be spitting out at least 30g dried and cured. I feel this is fairly feasable.. I pulled 39 and 24 off my last grow with crappy leds and just a 2-part organic nutrient line that i didnt exactly use as directed.
This round im planning on using the bloom half off the addons and possibly grabbing some sort of microbe booster and nitrogen bat guano 9-3-1ish... Its what id be missing on the feed scbedule before my samples arrive. In addition... The cmh is already far out performing my leds.

So... Im off schedule but hopeful. Im considering doing official updates weekly with intermittent postings for questions, inputs, and other stuff. But lets be honest, yall dont want or need daily updates on a 1 week old plant. Lol. They all look roughly similar at that age.

I should note that i am considering being a little not organic and putting rooting hormone powder in the hole with the seed when i plant it to help it further develope roots quickly. Would that be unhealthy for the girls to start that way? Would it hurt the soil?

Official pics and update on the grow. Black dominas taproot is showing. I reburied it just below the surface. If its alive we will know within a day or 2.
The ak and og are seeming great.
The white widows are both heavily phosphorus deficient. Not correcting. Ill fix the soil for the next grow with the new amendments.

Photos of all.
I also included photos of my notebook for references to watering and how much.

So interesting things...
I went to grow shop instead of waiting on my samples. I got Roots Organic uprising foundation.
Down to earth bat guano (9-3-1)
Biried Treasure powder seabird guano (0-12-0)
Earth Juice Bio-righteous (microbes)
And general organics cal-mag liquid


I got the liquid only as a need now and have 0 intent of using it when its not absolutely needed since i am relying HEAVILY on microbes and it isnt the most microbe friendly thing.

Ill be waiting for my roots organic elemental (their dry calmag supplement) as itll be a few weeks before its needed anyway and the foundation has sources of calmag and iron.

I went ahead and did all the vegweek1 amending to og and ak. So bat guano and uprising grow. I also dosed the microbes. (Thats the white powdery stuff on the og leaf. Oops)

In other news... Black domina is still wearing her helmet, though just barely. And i happened across that purple haze seed i thought dead... Well, the helmet is almost off and so i grabbed the dirt around the seed and put it in a little starter cup. If it sprouts and takes off ill just take down one of the white widows and transplant after reamending the soil. Then ill have 4 new babies 1.5-2 weeks apart.

Gah im so excited!!!!

Finally ending on white widow... Is this bud doing the "fox tailing?" If it is, how bad is that for seed production?

What causes this? Notice the lack of ridges? Ive got them at the tops. Is that just a really big sugar leaf? I know the shiny and dark is the lack of phosphorus.. But lack of ridges im confused by.

How do i tag if im on tapatalk? I could use some jingo or other folks input here.
