Grow Mediums Kindsoil Official Test Team Grow Battle

[stepside]

My input has been rare. Sorry about that. I ran two G13 clones, at the start I think I may have planted them too deep they got a bit of a burn. I topped both clones and they been growing since. I tried ph'ing with General hydro pH down. Kindsoil said use eartjuice crystals so I have been. I find them to be a pain in the ass.
I like the idea of just water, but having to pH ehhh,
I get confused in the run on threads I'll check the days and edit

I'm not doing any thing but watering this one has a single yellow leaf.

This one has one yellow and three showing N deficiency.

The auto's I planted.. well the luck of the draw, I guess. Both male but it's a soil test right?

They look nice to me

Never really grew a male and showed it off so...

If I was smart, I would've used promix instead of Coco loco, I'll try to update the dates soon

Looking great in any case Stepside, and darn fine looking male specimens too!

(and finally someone else with a Lighthouse Hydro tent lol! I friggin love mine, it's going on its 3rd year and still good as new. Going to eventually buy a second one.)

Dang fellers,some seriously serious seriousness is foot,some real beauty be abound these parts.well I still have enough for another plain KS grow but i do have one made at a fat 2.5 LBs with an extra cpl of fat scoops prolly 6-7 cups or so of plain used and light mix auto soil..essentially to make just a FAT layer verses a small one. less apt to rinse out.,its really really close to what is described on the sheet O How and What too's

AND i also made a boosted soil with MY stuff and mixed in 2.5 LBs of Kind Soil,and a fistful of wet rice,and used my GO cal mag bottle as the plug size and reference to a [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] pot,so it was puuurty cool,and a lil ironic i suppose but I expect the [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] pot to do sooo damned well I could possibly hardly stand it LOL! or not. and if the FAT layered one inst up to snuff,again,I do habe enough for one more regular 3 gallon layer again. but ill do a small auto in that one when I plant my other tester beans sometime this week. anway,thanks for the kind words everyone.sorry i sound like an ego jerk I suppose is how ppl see me,Im just excited ,and I think a lot about it. so ill not say much from here on out other than water..lol and pics. have a good'un

Well crap they came out sideways anyway

Phantasmo express after the 5 days of no power pretty much lost all its leafs

Girl scout cookie also lost a bunch of leafs

The pineapple express looks beat up but still has most it's leafs

But this is what the top looks like on the pineapple

Dude, sorry about Mother Nature kicking your butt and the power being down! Think you can still pull some stash out of em?

Got no choice but to finish them i need to flower my lambsbread and Skywalker kush but again mother nature can be bitch
The rain washed away my manure pile and what little is left isn't broken down yet and its still kinda hot

Sorry but I cannot in good conscience like the pics or the post about the fert getting washed away, it is a sad day. Hopefully they somewhat recover and you can get the Bread & Skywalker.

Sounds like my kind of luck sniper! Hang in there!

One plant is looking good, and the other........................... is a Mutant! the pics tell the story. But after a slow start its healthy and I'll grow her out just to see how she does, I don't need the bud...lol!

Normal plant

Mutant Ice Cool

Great testing so far folks. Please keep up the good detailed work.

What's up test homies!

... First, I must say that I may have not thought my participation through, considering the established protocol for the testing with no nothin' to be added, even if needed,... my bad! Problem is, as mentioned this grow is not for me alone, but others as well, for which I have been "hired"... results need to be great, and I cannot allow a plant to falter or fail when simple feeding/supp's will see it better to harvest,... the crappy start has already cost time I did not have to spare as is, and very likely, yield as well,... So, I may have to DQ myself from the test... I'll still run the soil, and still angle for no inputs, and document fully the whole grow, but if a plant needs help, she going to get it! I'll see what KS thinks, and any plant that does go with no significant nutritional inputs can still be considered for the test results, but plants that get help, obviously not,... not sure if I'll jump threads to the Commune with the other unofficial testers, or stay here and report only those that maintain the protocol,...some discussion needed there!
...But, that said, the new girls are cranking right along! ...on day 9 now; added in due to uncertain seed arrival of more Acapulco Gold, is Kalishnapple x Sweet Tooth... turns out the seeds did get here finally, and I've fired off two others, their fate to be determined, but at least one will still be in the test,... the transplanted AG, FairyBreath, and Flavor Grape are doing well now, the rest were shitcanned,... a possible idea: dual-plant FB's in a 10gal,... .... they're growing fast, so this week it's order time, and will get transplanted ASAP,...(these are 32oz cups)

>>> pop22- looking great bro'! Ice Cool, mmmmm,...... Oh, the mutie is now part of the Anomoly thread- Is this an IC, or a B-kush as the label says? (https://www.autoflower.org/threads/anomolies-we-have-seen-on-afn.50661/ )

>> Bromeo-- I know it's killin ya my friend! (you too brother EoF) -- To not juice her up is soooo unnatural, right?! (I think this is a form of P defc., not at all typical, but I see similar symptom manifestations in Sick Bay, and treatment with P seems to help; are you guys seeing some N defc. as well, beyond the expected general amount for this stage?)... Still, there's stores in those fans, and she may finish face-first butt-ugly, but I'm confident there will be great bud by the end, just not as much as, potentially,... She is a big'un, and I think the plant size/pot size thing has caught up with her and the available nutrients,... And no matter what, this is an excellent case in point test subject for KS application to autos, pot size and amount of KS added,... we all know how rather variable auto's are in their nute' demands, so all this is totally uncharted territory, the first early pieces to the puzzle! Same for EoF's MA,... and just like his SNOG, your FEx is still running fine- Hard to make any conclusions about strains, Indi-Sati' nutritional tendencies, etc. yet,... ***.... --and Man, that FEx!! How phat is she dude?! ...She makes me pine for my little coco-cup girl from last year...Oh the aroma and flavor! Your Jools the Sati'-Queen is going to hog the jar big time, trust me, you better hide a little stash of her, lest you have barely a taste before it's gone!


*** Molasses-- read the labels guys, some are definitely richer in nute's than others...locally, I found Brer Rabbit to be the best, more Ca, Mg and K (?),... Fe is the same,.. for cooking, I like Grandma's milder taste better, but is less rich than Brer,...

>> KS-- my sister cans lots of things, and I found pure citric acid in her cupboard, in a nice fine crystal size,... I assume this will be just as good, just faster dissolving,... I saw nothing on the EJ label that indicates anything special about their formulation,...?

>>> Hobbstahhh! ...'bout time man- ... I like that Left-Over girl, another good test subject to consider, given her KS amount,... fingers crossed on the Autopots my friend! That, I'm very interested in seeing result of,...

>> :smoking: EoF, that SNOG is looking giggady giggady-goo!!

..resins and bud density is superb my friend- -seriously, that is advertisement-grade material right there!.... what's her perfume like? .... MA has a lot of Sativa in her, right? She's making lots of very lovely bud too, pale leaves aside!

>> Pops! man, those girls are loving the soil proper now, ay? ... 3 beauties for your dancing pleasure! ..love the chunky 3 Bears, but the Crink's is still my fav'... has Mitch had a peek at her yet? I'm curious if this leaf pheno' is typical, or not,...

>>> Anthro buddy, I'm pullin' for ya mate! Those temps are a challenge for a grown plant, much less seedlings,.. ...and still they look good, even after the daily roasting! What's the RH been like over 24h period?

>> Step'-- daaaamn! G-13 blow-up!! If this is how photo's are going to react to KS, I'm more stoked by the minute,... ..still looking for some local G-13 too, and there's nuth, dammit!
... double dAAAmn!! are these FD's WJEMS? Those are the best males I've seen in a while! Has FD seen them? You might have some "stud" services coming my friend! there's enough grain-love there to knock up half the West Coast...


>>> Sniper I'm still gutted about that whole rotten shitty mess out your way,.. ...plants may seem like small potatoes in comparison, but I know how important your meds are to your health! -- and that magic horse poop compost too- fek fek fek fek.... that they're still salvageable is amazing,.. guess we'll see how good the sugar leaves are at a more supportive role! there's still some time too, so I'm sending major reboot bloom karma your way my friend!
