I bet you'd be broken hearted if you had to harvest before the contest was over .Good Morning Gardeners!!
Day 30 is finally here, on month in the dirt. I dunno is it Mephisto, the lights, me...
this tent is officially out of control. I have no idea how I’ll make it to December.
The praying of the leaves.
And then there’s Bertha. I moved the tape measure even with her top around 4 or so yesterday afternoon. She was over 40 inches then.
On my way there @Pops enjoying the journey too. The goal is to get to living, re-usable soil. Feed it so tea and water and that’s it. Inside gardens and outside. My worm farm will get here in a week or two so soon there will be plentiful castings for teas. Just started on the outside compost too. Soon, like 12months I hope I’ll be a lot closer. Have you seen those monsters in my tent!?
Im using canna coco a and b, a couple different calmags ive ran through, humboldt silica, the photosynthesis + i mentioned, humboldt honey (feeds microbes)...for P/K stuff, ive tried alot of bloom boosters, i think the Soul Synthetics "big swell" and "PeaK" have shown the best results. Theres a huge thread, i think its on icmag, called "the myth if high P" claiming you dont need extra P or bloom formulas. I tried that and was disappointed, but i have found giving spikes of P seems to help bud development, like ill give a big dose a couple times to initiate flowering, then i use a little so its available all the time, but give bigger PK feedings a couple times a week. In the last 10 days or so, i use the PeaK every feeding. Seems to work better than giving high PK all the time. I dont flush anymore. I did an comparison, and found no difference between the flushed and non flushed plant, i believe its imoproper drying and curing that cause a harsh smoke. I also use hydrogaurd, and i had mycos in there for about 12 hrs, but they clogged the airstones. If youre gonna do dwc, the most important thing ive found is airflow, get at least a 900 gph pump and a big 8" circular airstone pad that fills the bottom of the bucket. I dont really know if the noots make a huge difference, ive used lots of different kinds, i think light, environment, and the growers level of knowledge and dedication are probably more important, ive had equally great results with a bunch of different kinds. My buddy used an all in one tomato fertilizer years ago and had a huge yeild of cannabis cup winning quality buds people still talk about. Anyway, in short, if what you are using has what the plant needs, id stick with it, instead put some money into some cobs, and maybe experiment with using microbes. Oh yeah, one thing i absolutely can see makes a difference is the optic foliar Overgrow spray, i just got it and saw huge results the first day, i could do a 24 hour timelapse, that stuff works, they gaurantee money back too. If you order it from monster gardens, they give you samples of all their other stuff, enough to fill 10 spray bottles. With shipping it was like 25 bucks, "monster6" gets u 6% off any order. Thats really the only time i can say ive thought "holy shit, that really did something quick".What nutes do you run?
Watch out for fruit flies in your worm farm...i had one for fish food, once they get in there its nearly impossible to get rid of them, i ended up chucking it out the windowOn my way there @Pops enjoying the journey too.

Way cool. I use Great White but still need something to feed the mycos. Also been looking for a bloom booster to try. I use a 4 inch air stone in the bottom if my water farm, so it oxygenates the water the roots sit in, as well as the water being drip fed. Got a 100 watt citizen COB and a vertical 400 watt hps. Looking to get a little more COB though! :smoking:Im using canna coco a and b, a couple different calmags ive ran through, humboldt silica, the photosynthesis + i mentioned, humboldt honey (feeds microbes)...for P/K stuff, ive tried alot of bloom boosters, i think the Soul Synthetics "big swell" and "PeaK" have shown the best results.
