Photoperiod New to No Till

[dankstyle J]

Nice nice things growing on man ,you'd be surprised at how fast my greenhouse skelly og is getting it on ,probably have to raise the greenhouse roof if I'm lucky ,curious to how you fixed your ladies up so nice ?Most of my methods of organic growing are home made an a lil untested ,but I get great meds that are loud when I crack the jar so I'm kinda stuck in my ways ,but I tell the few students I got if you're growing for quality not weight I will show you how to grow organic ,I know a lot of growers who grow for weight I'm far from commercial I like to grow the stuff the med store doesn't have .

Man this Journal is amazing. I read the whole nine pages at once and I can see you're doing a really great job.
I really like the bed and thanks for the top cover seed list, I was always wondering what could they be?!
I have experience in growing autoflowers but im new to growing photoperiod strains i'm here to collect knowledge and looks again that I'm on the right place..

I totally got you when you say you were looking at the plants trying to figure out what's happening..sometimes i stare at them for an hour

as for eggshels I've read somewhere that they are slow releasing if used raw in soil and the best way to use them it's like soak them in the water for I don't know how long ..day or two?!and I forgot whats next lol but to definitely they are useful after a year or two in soil.

currently I am running teo Bubba Kush from Humboldt (they were supposed to be af but I don't know what went wrong) that are scroged now after vegged for two months and defoliated at day 22 and and will be again in 42.day of flower (firstly strip off all the non perfect leaves then the light blockers) and i suggest you to do the same.
photos react great and fast on defoliation which isn't the case in AF.

but can you please tell me how do you take your clones? how old mother should be for taking first clones? How long does it take when you take a clone to you when you transplant (rooting stage?)?

sorry for a big post but i smoked some blue amnesia

cheers mate

Wzup, @dankstyle J ,thanks for stopping thru my thread, my dude. I si.pkified things, as many suggested to do, and stuck to worm compost tea alternated with water with some aloe vera and coconut water in it. Moving the light further away also seemed to help out. You know, I've always heard that when growing organically, you sacrifice yield, but I've seen a few grows from some people doing no till, and they didn't seem to be sacrificing yields at all. Was probably all of the different teas, and the living soil, but they made me believe that you can grow organically, and have large yields, too. I just gotta figure out what they're doing to achieve the it!You have

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy the journal. I gotta admit, it's no where near as detailed as I used to make, but life and kids don't give a damn about my journal, so my time on AFN suffers.
Once the girls are in week 3 of flower, and are done with their stretch, I'll do my last heavy defoliation. I'll get rid of anything that looks like it wouldn't grow into anything worth keeping, and much of the light blocking leaves. I have an aloe vera plant I use for taking clones. I snap off a full leaf, then snap off about an inch of the leaf, and set it aside. I squeeze all of the gel from the leaf into a glass of distilled water. That's what I will set the cuttings in. As soon as I take a cutting, at a 45° angle, I stick the branch tip into the piece I broke off from the aloe vera leaf, 2 or 3 times, and make sure it is covered in gel. Then, I set the cutting into the cup of water that has aloe vera gel in it for 24 hours. After that, I put it in a rapid rooter, or my cloner, and let it do it's thing. I also make sure to cut the tips off of the top set of leaves, and remove everything below them. This takes about 2 weeks for them to root. When I use my clones, it takes much less time to see roots. This is what works for me, but isn't the only way to get cuttings to root

Awesome sounding cloning method I have considered cloning a lot of the awesome phenotypes I come across growing from seed but lack the space to have a mother plant .thsnks for the kind words I think I've gotten a lil better at getting a lil more meds ,but I super crop ,lst ,fim an top to get a lil more ,along with a long veg time ,I put my flowering plants in a closet I created for darkness and light deprivations freeing up space for my veggin next round plants ,which when the flowering plants are out the veggin photos get side lighting and CFL which has proven to be efficient.I keep autos in there as well an pull harvests off of them taking advantage of there no needed darkness,I get quite a bit per light but this methods are far from normal and in a way took me a while to figure out how to get all the plants going and a constant or near monthly harvests .

My first attempt at no till has been interesting. Made a few mistakes, but the good thing is that I took the time to learn from them. I already can't wait to get started on the 2nd round so i can make some corrections and improvements to steady better my end results

I definitely know the feeling I have been working on perfecting a 100 coco coir living coco mix for awhile and the lil to no info on the subject is very interesting,what's sad is most is incorrect and relys on bigbrand bottle nutes which may be organic but don't fit my homemade teas and other additives I would rather use having sourced them myself and I get more of a natural feeling when I use my mind to create my own stuff and not rely on someone else's interpretation of what a plant needs because in my experience plants all have different nutritional needs and the one size fits all doesn't work with cannabis and when trying something not so popular an unique the only way to know the answers is try it yourself,keep at it man i can see some positively natural kind growing you're way keep at it .

Living coco mix? Interesting. Never heard of it. Yet another way to grow cannabis organically, without having to rely on chemicals, or bottled up nutrients. So the micro life is kept alive, and feeds the coco? What is your link? I'd love to have a look. Thanks for stopping thru, my gro bro. I always appreciate some company

 

[dankstyle J]

Yes a complete living coco ,I don't know much about technology or how to link but it's called dankstyle js Oregon poetry of plants it's in the organic section I just transplanted 2bio legends and one kushncheese into 2 different living coco mixs ,all plants are doing really well in it so far ,I'm also growing an auto in some as well ,I have always wanted a hydro of organic quality and wad told by many growers that what I was planning to do was the dark side of coco and wasn't possible it would throw my ph off but I've been working on an off with this style of growing for 2 years and have found them to be wrong although I never read my plants with a ph meter they are happy and produce killer meds,so no reason 2 but it definitely has been tricky especially with the false an wrong info on the subject which is basically very lil but I'm almost got it and when I do I will create a thread on the subject an start explaining in great detail how to grow organic livin coco .

Entering the home stretch with this first no till run, and it was definitely a learning experience that I will continue to build on and learn from!
