Indoor Wild Bill's multi-breeder Grow & Show under MarsHydro SP6500

[Humanrob]

Not a regular update, that's Sunday, I just have an observation.
Ya have grows that one plant make ya smile. Bruce Banner is it in this grow.
10 days ago I placed her outside. During that 10 days, she has grown over 13 inches. She's not in stretch this damn early is she? I think she's gonna get much bigger.
Shown sex at 19days and now she is 27 days old and just over 16 in tall.That why I'm leaving the all outside and starting 4 new girls in the tent. I have a suspicion that the Mars 6500 may be keeping them short with too much blue. With the way the outdoor girls are going, I'm just going to hit them harder and sooner. I will document it with my par meter.
She will get watered and fed tomorrow or Sunday.I don't think she needs flower feeding at this time, but the next week will be a good time.
She got two of her lowers pulled out somewhat. Should be able to do another in a couple days.
If it's below 90 before sunset, they'll all get a dose of Dr Zymes as a preventative.

A side note on the environment.
This site gets about 6 really good hours of direct light with trees on three sides. In the tent, I could tell when the girls reached their DLI. I have no idea if this is a thing outdoors. The do still seem to be tracking the sun quite far over at the end of the day.

I have a similar outdoor light situation, for a few weeks on either side of the solstice I'll get around 7 hours of light, but for most of the season I'll get around 6, primarily directly overhead. Plants love the sun, there are alternatives but nothing really compares. I've got some BB seeds, so I'm looking forward to following yours to the finish.

One quick question-- did you top the BB, and if so, after what node?
Nice looking plants!

Thanks!
No I didn't top her, but she could have used it I think

Another note. The panda film and the hay have lowered the topsoil temps enough to start growing a mat from the bokashi!
That makes me happy! Sat or Sun they will get another round of EWC, Worms, compost and bokashi with a top watering of humic and amino acids before I start filling the rez two days after this next watering.
I'm filling the rez with humic acid and 72 hrs later it will be dumped.I'll fill it back up after 24 hours.
I'll do this until the girls start drinking that much

Well, the Panda film did help somewhat. Enough That I did find a worm in the top of the media. Now this is after the sun has declined and mostly shade, but I'm very happy to see a worm. It's just not quite enough for the EBs to be close to optimal, I went to the feed store to get hay..............first friggin' time in my life! LOL! $10 for a horse person bale of hay! Since a large number of people feeding horses are women, the people operating the balers usually don't make them the heaviest the baler can do. When I baled and hauled hay as a kid in the summer, the farmers always wanted the heaviest bales that the baler can make............usually 100lbs plus. Fewer bales the farmer pays less $$ to get his hay baled and hauled. Good money for a kid, but kept my Mom busy putting patches on my knees of my jeans. You had to use your knees to throw those bales all damn day.
Before I laid on the sections of hay, I gave them a tiny bit top dress of BAS craft blend, lightly scratched it in and sprinkled a little bokashi. All the other girls got a little bit of the blend also. The EBs still had great moisture. I think by Friday, I should be able to give the EB and all the other girls watering with humic and amino acids. I'm gonna try to get a half gallon in the EBs, just not enough for the water to go in the rez. I'd be ok if I added to much. I can just dump it out. I just don't want to go down that road and it would waste nutes.

By this time next week. I expect to fill the EBs rez and begin that part of the grow. When I'm not going to top feed Amino acids, The rez will go dry for a day before filling and when feeding, it will be two days. Once I start that cycle, the top water feeding will be limited to a quart each. Hopefully by that time, they will be drinking close to a gallon plus. I'm really hoping that I can run the humic acid in the rez with no problems. I guess we all will find out for sure!

Leaving the indoor girls outside was sorta a passing thought the other day, but after looking at them today, I'm just going to have to check what media I have available and how quick I can get new bags. I can run 4 totally new girls..............Twenty20 Vitamints I think is one, Fuge State and two other freebie from Meph or Roc. Defiantly something to consider. I do REALLY want to get a full grow under the Mars SP6500 to properly evaluate it.

REGULAR SUNDAY UPDATE
Hurtin' 'too much to file last night
​

Girls are progressing well, some better than others. Got an unexpected rain that screwed up feeding plans on the open pot girls. I couldn't feed as much as I wanted, so I added some EWC. Pulled off the old hay, added EWC, replaced the hay, added some more hay and fed each girl a little over a quart each of Humic and amino acid solution.

Each Earth Box girl got teaspoon of BAS Craft Blend, two cups EWC, 3 cups compost, handful of bokashi and top watered close to 3/4 of Humic and amino acid solution. With this feeding, Monday I will mix up the humic acid and fill both EB rez. Until they start drinking heavily, I'll be dumping the rez after 72hours.

All girls got a spraying of Dr Zymes as a preventive..............before adding EWC

Yup! Lots of great strains!
Can do!

Brucey is looking great they all are good job my friend

Thanks!

Yeah..........Bruce makes me smile. I'm surprised how well she's doing under the heat and humidity. She's always praying hard. With the rain yesterday, she drooped the least and this morning she's already praying hard.

@WildBill How have you liked your Earth Boxes? I looked for a thread on that but no luck. Any specific issues or tips to be aware of? Thanks!

I have everything I've done to the EBs and most of the reasons why documented in this thread. With my first EB grow, I'm doing things different and documenting it here for others to see and me to know the exact timeline of what I did and when.

They should really blow up this week..................at least I hope so! LOL!


edit..............to answer your question
Despite horrible lockout in my first EB grow because I used EBs dolomite recommendations, I was able to nurture them thru and made quite a bit of canna that I mostly turned into hash, but kept a bit of bud. I still have three bags to do three dry ice shakes! I'll have to run that soon..............for the freezer space, not for the need of hash. LOL! But I'm just gonna squish all of it and make some live fresh activated rosin.
