I figured it would be an interesting addition to overall soil health. I also love wild mushrooms so being able to dual purpose would be fun. I know some species prefer more alkaline soil conditions though. Need to delve into it more before jumping in.
The cover crop is thriving. I will continue to trim some of it, which just gets left to be mulched back into the bed. Did a single top drench today with tea and some coast of maine squid concentrate.
Plants have been LST'd and I will clean up the bottom most leaves next week. Accidentally broke an arm off the back right girl. Doh!
There are roots coming out the bottom of the bed, which is 18" deep. I haven't added water to the res all week and it took 9gal today. Wicking is working as planned.
I mowed down the cover crop and spread it out to decompose in place, then top watered with plain water and some added unsulphured molasses. I would love to know how to do this without it making a huge goopy mess in my watering can. Lol.
Everything got a light trim and then spread out. It looks like a murder scene but should open them up nicely. The few folks that follow my grows know I'm not afraid to torture my plants! Ill probably keep them spread out for a few days then consider a scrog net just to provide some additional structure.
Plants are beginning to show sex so flower time isn't far off.
