Dutch Passion Waximus' DP Auto Durban Poison, in TLO soil

[Waximus]

Oh yeah, those things are built like tanks...well, for tanks! Electro Harmonix do a decent range of flavors if you ever feel like experimenting, sounds like you do! With some bottom end harmonics going on Tosh would sound huge!

Tosh has a 15" Klipsch subwoofer to put the Downpressor into the beat, Mon! That thing can stun a cat from 5 feet when its crankin....

Hey Wax. Sorry I missed the start mate. Subbed in now. Lovely choice of beans

Hoping to do the DP genetics proud, Brother

Ok. Time for a picture update.. First, a couple pics of Cleo, the final AWW in the closet. She just will not quit:


Day 82- she'll go 90 easy! Top cola.

A side bud shot.


Here are the 2 DP auto Durbans. The front one popped weird- only had one set of first leaf, but seems to be picking up fine, now.

Here are the DP Blue Velvets. One is a slowpoke, possibly a pop-dud, but I'mm keeping the faith. And, forgive the TP roll props.. They're just getting their legs, and I think they hit the hot soil layer, so they exploded in one day-but their skinny legs got shakey... lol

They all got a dose of Oregonism XL myco, etc this morning. In about a week, I'll transplant into 5 gal airpots and put them in their "forever home"... The Durbans will be in the auto closet, with 600 watts of full spectrum LED; the Velvets will start under 600w MH, bumped to 1kw when they are ready.
Only h2o and myco thus far.. They're entering toddler stage

Looking real cool there bro, the young ones are doing great! :Sharing One:

Hey Peeps! Friday afternoon journal update time... The new AWW and ECD bud has been taking its toll on my ambition, I have to admit :no: But, there are teas to be brewed, and airpots to be prepped, and pHing anything with a moisture content..... so.. Here are a few pics:


A top down shot of Cleo.. She's about ready, but every time I think her pistols are done, she goes all Billy Idol again! She's now in day 3 of flush, so the end is nigh

Day 16 of the Durban sisters.. New leaf sets come in quite yellow looking, but green up within a few hours.. Transfering them to the airpots tomorrow.

The Blue Velvets at Day 16. They're taking off. I'm sure the roots are in the hot layer at the bottom.

THIS is the Blue Velvet that couldn't :slaps:.. Biggest seed..took 6 days to pop.. just no gusto.... I'm going to pop a BLue OG to take her place, as a gesture of mourning lol

So, all is well with the concubines. They'll be in their forever grow rooms soon!

One other thing- for you soil peeps: I did several pH tests on both of the soil brands that I'm using as a base- Mass Whole potting and super Soil as well as Maine Coast Organic supersoil. Dry, wet, and after 5 hours watered they test from 6.4 to 6.6 pH, with no ammendments (yet). I was not expecting that close, and that good, a pH starting point.

Have a great weekend Peeps! Keep it between the ditches :Hookah:

Busy morning at Waximus Abby.. Transplanted 4 of the Ladies into airpots and set them up onder 400w MH in the tent. I never have trouble transplanting a clone in a rooter straight into hydroton, but I swear my hands always shake when separating a plant from its starter pot! Ugh.... At least the Ladies seem to be dealing with the disruption. Hoping for Universal grace
Has anyone invented a spray that you can apply to the inside of a plant pot, that makes the soil stay together when transplanting? Potential Million dollar idea, that..
So, the I built the airpot soil like this:
Bottom 2 inches, Mass Whole Supersoil (one pot, I used Coast of Maine Supersoil, as a review test)
Next 2-3 inches, and along sides of pot, I used Mass Whole Potting Soil-similar to OF, but pH is dead on for this soil.
On top of these layers, I sprinkles Aurora Oregonism XL (bacteria and enzymes) , and Elemental (cal/mag) and saturated in with spray watering.
Removed the 1/2 gal soil/root from starter pots and integrated to soil in airpot.
Gave each a slow drink of 50% diluted stump tea, with bacterial larvacide (sorry, can't pronounce, or spell it), and blackstrap molassas- brewed in a bubble bucket for a day. FACT: You CAN spontaneously grow hair patches if you get any on your skin for a bit... Damn stuff is ALIVE, people. A full on hazmat shower is recommended. Ick.
Watered with about a liter of pH'd (6.5) water, slowly... Like everyone says, airpot watering is an art form.. It is not instant gratification. Its constipation, in aquifer form.... lol
And, THAT is the rest of the story. I'll look in on them a few times to make sure they aren't feeling faint.

And.... Pics:

ADP#1, I'm naming her Thalia, Muse of Comedy, because I smile every time I look upon her lol

ADP#2, Calliope, Muse of epic poetry, because she looks like a dirty Bohemian...


The left 2 airpots are the ADPs; The other pair are the Blue Velvet. One more to transplant, but she needs a few more days to harden up.

So, time to roll a big fat EC Diesel doobie! (Lady Waximus just asked "what kind of smoke do you want me to roll?" Love that woman. MmmHmmm)
Hope y'all are safe and enjoying something good Peace, all!

Looking good bro, glad the transplant went smoothly. :Sharing One:

 

[Waximus]

Thanks, Bro I dunno about smoothly.. dirty soil nail biter, is more like it.. I think I need to sprout some greens, and practice transplanting them, so I'm not so gunshy about the whole bit! lolol
