Up Date from the Garden
Floganics Test
Time to get this test underway, this will be my first super soil / amendment soil grow... I used to grow in soil with organic nutes so I think I got the feel for this
Test out line -
I did think of doing this test with clones and really it should be but my garden timing determines the running order and what come next so we are growing from seed for this round.
So what am I going to test then, I did think about looking at how it performs against a coco grow but coco has so many advantages over soil (veg time being one of the biggest factors) so I don't think it would be a fair test on plant size or even yield. I'm not saying coco is better its just that coco growing is a form of hydroponics and we all know how hydro can grow monsters very quickly.
So the main focus of this test will be over the ease of floganics over my coco grow set up- Like How much time does it take up and how fussy is it to grow with. Is it the answer to just watering and walking away. Basically how much of a bother is it over my coco grow set up.
The other focus i would like to look at is its terps and taste at the end. I know its going to be flawed test from the start due to not using clones but I want to see if I can tell any difference between my slat grown plants and the floganics... its the one argument the organic lot like throw at us slat chuckers, that it tastes better... my personal opinion on that is its all perspective. In a true blind taste test I bet most couldn't tell the difference between a very well grown slat grow over and an organic grow... but if we was talking sun grown then we might have an argument but that's not what this is about.
So lets introduce the test subjects -
Amnesia by
Seed Stockers (my new no.01 for feminized seeds)... can't go wrong with these breeders, solid, stable and very potent with amazing yields. This is my 4th grow (3rd strain) with them. So you are in for a treat lady's and gentlemen if you have not had the pleasure of a seedstockers grow.

So what has seed stockers got to say about this strain -
Seed Stockers Amnesia is a timeless classic, selected for extreme potency this is a variety you will want to grow again and again. This pure-bred Haze variety has a famously strong smoke (typically 23%-24% THC) and is not recommended for inexperienced smokers. The high is psychedelic and long lasting, for some it is also a devastatingly potent variety which creates genuine Amnesia (memory loss) for the smoker while they are high. Harvest quantities are above average, but most repeat growers choose Amnesia for the sheer strength of the smoke. The Seedstockers version of Amnesia was bred using the original Amnesia genetics from the south of Holland in a 3-way cross with Outlaw Amnesia and Super Silver Haze from Amsterdam. The result is a very commercially attractive original Haze strain.
Sounds good doesn't it... I do love the bit about genuine amnesia, that's why I got them.
Right back to the soil... I shall be using biobizz light to mix the floganics into and will be making up just enough for one 12ltr pot

I have followed
@TheMongol instructions to the letter on how to mix, here they are -
I used a liter jug to measure out my amounts into large container

Mixed well by hand and added just shy of 500ml of RO water to each mix... I was very conservative here with the water,
@TheMongol was very insistent on that part of the instructions.

I then placed each mix into bags an used reusable cable ties to label them

It has now been placed into the only space left in the garden for a couple of weeks.

This test is going to take some time, we have a minimum of 4 weeks before they can go into the main tent so please hang around for the show...
But in the mean time to satisfy some bud porn addiction here are my Maple Sherbet x Pre 98 Skunk by seed stockers on there final few days... Think they will be coming down tomorrow.

And just to prove I haven't given up on auto's here is a Girls Scout Cookie by fastbuds taking up space in my veg tent (don't ask me what week we are on, I like to use the force when growing auto's)... she is in 5ltr pot and has been stunted on purpose to fill that pot size and space she's in.
I'm loving growing auto's this way, no larf just bud till the cow's come home... I was just shy of 3oz on one plant growing this way.
