We're all set now... All the essentials for the 'Time to get hyphae' lab have been combined and we're off.

Growing medium and container
  • Coast of Maine - Stonington Blend soil w 3 cups agri perlite and 8 tablespoons of Granite Flour - rock dust* per gallon of soil *(quarried in Frankfort Maine).
  • Roots Organics - 4 1/4 teaspoon measures of Roots Organics Nitro Guano for N bombs in the bottom of the pot
  • Ruths Tree Farm - 11 liter (aka 3gal) fiberglass fabric pots
  • 14 inch bubble snake for bottom aeration of the pot
  • Petco 4 port, 212 gallon air pump w adjustable output
Feeding and moisture
  • 30% Boogie Brew and 70% hyper oxygenated water (super bubbled and H2O2 added) stream
  • General Organics CaMg+ (only if I need it)
  • Roots Organics HPK and Buddha Bloom weekly flower supplement at 10 to 25% of normal measure (if necessary)
  • Roots Organics Trinity - Boogie brew extender (allows me to bubble and maintain the tea for a few days after brewing by feeding the fungi and bacteria)
I mixed the soil rock dust and perlite, put about an inch in the bottom, made for divots in it and put a 1/4 teaspoon in each. Finally I placed the coiled (circle) air bubble tube in the middle and then put the remaining soil mix in the pot. Then I put the pot in the tent, hooked up the air pump and soaked the pot with a strong (1:2 boobie brew, 1 tsp trinity and 1 tsp Neptune fish with kelp) 'soil igniter' mix (about 1 liter)...

So now it's in the veg tent with a soil temperature of 76 F, air 82 F and 75% RH. This combined with the constant aeration at the bottom of the pot will most certainly produce a fantastic bloom of mycorrhizal hyphae... ready to attach to and infect the ganja root once it emerges creating the on-ramp to the nutrition superhighway which awaits!

If the soil pH is correct at the time of sowing I'm going right to the soil. If not, I'll scoop out a handful and replace it with my current lobster compost and roots green lite mix... I really hope I don't have to do option two... I'm going to give the soil till saturday and then get a pH reading as well as scope a sample to see the bloom...

That's it... this should get us off on a good foot... time will tell... tick tock... tick tock...

Man those really look nice. I bet these end up being the best looking ones I've seen here.
 
I got up early this morning and all seems good in the garden... One interesting note about The Dip my Chip Bag comp contestant... She'd been drinking just shy of a gallon of liquid a day, then yesterday, it seemed that she was slowing down. Today I've confirmed it. The Dip had really slowed down on the liquid consumption. She also looks to be a solid week ahead in her life and bloom cycles, going all ostrich head on me. Since I've increased the watering intervals it's easy to notice changes in drinking habits. This habit change seems to have coincided her transition from vegetative to flower growth phases. I'll have to keep an eye on this...

The Dip - White Train
DOB 6-13 - Just shy of 42 but acting like 49..
