Dragor back at the Diaries with some new genetics for ya’ll, it goes some like this…
beans
(3) HTC Skunk x SAG Stonehedge [subrob/Brotha_Monk experiment]
(2) MOD Menage a Trois [SB freebies]
(2) SOL Blubonic [subrob]
(1) OG Kush x Bubba [bagseed]
clones
Jack Herrer x Skunk #1 (aka J1) [subrob]
DNA D-Line (aka Chocolope) [Malibu co-op]
Apothecary Kaia Kush (OGK x SSH) [Reseda co-op]
Using 2ft 4bulb 96watt T5 fluorescents.
Planted all beans on April 30th directly into FF 3bag mix in 8oz cups under humidity dome, all popped by May 3rd.
Clones from two co-ops were fully rooted; D-Line joined us May 4th and Kaia joined us May 9th.
Cuts of J1 needed rooting time, so I placed them in clear solo cups of FF 3bag soil mix under humidity dome and they both started showing roots within 2-3days of doing so (first time trying this, thinking the soil microbes attacked the root hairs through the peat).
The soil mix I used for veg was based on the FF3bag/MSM idea I experimented with in my last grows but since I didn’t have enough OF left to make enough original mix, I decided to blend something new in this time along with the leftover OF as my soil base. Thanks to sophisto and his insightful comments here on IC and in person, I picked up some EBStone as my soil base addition. It has all what OF has plus more without the fishiness. The amounts I used were:
3 gallon EBstone Edna’s Best Potting Soil
2.5 gallon FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil
1.5 gallon FoxFarm Planting Mix (compost)
3 gallon FoxFarm Light Warrior
2.5 gallon Perlite (reg med size pellets)
Poured this fresh soil mix into individual 3qt veg pots and amended 4.5 tsp each of powdered dolomite lime (thanks to BurnOne’s advice, for buffering high acidity of peat based media such as LightWarrior as well as supplies long-tem cal-mag) and FoxFarm Starter Mix (3-4-3) dry ferts. Following this, I watered each pot with a tea made of the following:
In 2gallons of bubbled tap water
4 tbsp of EWC-compost (in nylon teabag)
4 tbsp of unsulphered molasses
(bubbled this for 24 hours at 80F before foaming began, after which I added 1 tbsp Maxi-Crop and 1 tbsp Liquid Karma, bubbling continued for another 24 hrs before tea was used on the freshly mixed soils)
Pots sat overnight (wish I had more time to let them “cook” with the bacterial tea as Suby suggests) but I was short on time and began transplanting this morning.
All are doing well now in their new homes, well fed with microbeasties and slowly but surely perking back up to continue their journey through the CannaCabina.
Thanks for stoppin by and reading/viewing, pictures will be bountiful this time around, with so much variety I’d like to show you all – enjoy and comments are always welcomed + very much appreciated! Gratsi
