...ooops! I forgot to add new pics of the FairyBreath sisters transplant into a 10'er,... @Kindsoil, I meant to ask you how long the soil can stay in those bags, under cool, garage-type conditions, before it start to get a little anaerobic in there? The new bag opened today had almost none of the usual smell, and a mild ammonia tang,...
.... basically, I rebuilt the same set-up in the new pot, and treated with a little Jump Start for shock, and some inoculant since I figure the herd is likely dead at this point in the new KS,... I got the Optic Foliar Transport in, and will start treating the few lingering defc. issues with it as a test for speed of correction!

very sorry about the delay in responding to everyone i have to take time to look over these threads and reply .. i just saw your @Waira the soil can stay in the bags we recommend giving it more air holes if your keeping it a long time but most important it needs to be kept in a cool area. yes it can go aerobic but just opening the bag and letting it breath will get it back to normal.

Ok, today is chop day! I let these little ladies go as long as I could, they've got a lot of amber on them! HARD buds! And STINKY little things! And as small as they are I bet I get 20-25 grams from them together!

I really wish they had not been muties, they may have been some awesome plants! I can say, they fed well on the Kind soil! I've too much on my plate for now, but I'll give Kind soil another run or two in the future! I will credit the Kind soil with the great buds on these weirdos...lol! Full report tomorrow!

Here are pre-chop pics:

 

[stepside]

Stepside that has been fed nothing but KIND soil?

No.. @Fairlynew , my wife fed em a couple times. I transplanted them into a deep hole filled with recycled Coco loco and kind soil a couple weeks ago.. they took off. I fed em a couple gallons of water and great white at transplant.. nothing but rain and un ph'd well water water since though.

Update on Anthro's crispy fried chicken fingers tent lmao! It's umm, well it's proceeding lol. Reflecting back now that it's worse, I had the same problems last round with a Skywalker. I thought I had adequately treated my soil stock before this round with lotssss of flushing, lime, fresh ammendments, and all that jazz... But evidently I was wrong! So, we're going to just ride it out, it's too late now to even break from the test protocols and attempt any fixes.

I do know what needs to be done going forward, time to start the soil stock all over fresh. That's going to be a couple hundred dollars at least. I'm feeling pretty crappy about the embarrassingly bad looking plants and it not giving the KindSoil a fair shake, but hey, life has tough lessons sometimes lol. I am absolutely planning on a redo-redux grow with KindSoil soon, I have faith!! Just look at y'alls plants! Gorgeous!

Anyway on with the embarrassing photos lol.
KindSoil side ladies:
The Cream Mandarine XL is camel farts haha:

But the Blackberry Stone is going to squeak by without total disaster I think, it's got some pretty flowers and good trichomes:

The baby Tombstones haven't had time to get hurricane-katrina'ed yet lmao, but some early def signs starting up:

Side with just my soil:
Red Poison is sure trying hard, it'll make something but won't be winning any medals:

This Cream Mandarine XL is also bob saget lol, shame it could have been a cool phenotype too with those super sativa fingers:

Blackberry Stone solo pot is trying hard too, gonna be good quality but very low yield:

These Blackberry Stones are starting to have troubles especially fighting each other, but should still make a few grams :/

Okay friends, keep it rockig awesome up in here! Peace and love

 

[pop22]

So your Sweet seeds didn't like it either......lol!

I'll drop some Black Dragons in Kind soil later on, we'll see how they like it! In fact, when i do it again, I'll run 4 different strains and see what happens. It may just be too hot for certain autos

 

[Anthropolis]

The Stones are indeed handling both the high temperatures and the soil better than the Sweets. Autos are just picky and tricky in general as we know, there are definitely some genetics that seem to like the hot soil better or worse than others. Maybe after everyone is all wrapped up, we can paint a clearer picture of which perform better. My memory isn't working lol but did Mephistos do well for example? Mephistos are usually pretty good with extra strong nutrition and tough conditions in my experience.

thats just crazy whats going down with your water bro.
