This will serve as my grow record, and is in addition to the main thread on this grow. This blog will concentrate on a technical record of what and when, the main thread will as a rule include additional information from me, and commentary from other peeps here.
The soil recipe, with thanks to @pop22 for inspiration and the approximate recipe idea:
I have changed Pop's most recent recipe, so problems are on me, not Pop. After initially overwatering the mix, it will have been cooking with normal moisture for close to 2 months by the time I plant in it. A mild gnat problem was treated with BTi watering plus stickies.
I started with the Bugbee peat mix instead of a prepared organic mix in order to better know what is in the mix. I also stuck with ingredients easily available to me either locally or online. The idea, and the hope, is that in ~30 liter fabric pots irrigated by autovalve(s) this stuff will finish a grow with water only.
As of 17 October, the Mephisto 24 Carat and Mephisto Fugue State pollen plants are head's up ~3 days after the initial soak. The two boys-to-be on Day 1:
These will go into SS#4 once the tap roots emerge, and will get MCII for nutes from the get go. They will stay in small pots under 24/7 light to speed them up relative to the mothers in the main 'drobe. Watering will include BTi until plants are well established just in case a gnat or two migrated...
