All are welcome!!!


My soilmix is always changing and any input is welcome. I want to stop useing the blood and bone meal and find somthing better.
I do love the this just water soil. I suck with bottle stuff.

I use a 5 gal airlift Tea brewer.
1cup EWC, 1 cup Vermi compost, 1cup forest dirt, 2 tbls blackstrap mollases brewed for 48 hours.
I use this as my base 2 or 3 times.

Two weeks into flower I ad 2 tbls poons of n and p bat guano

Flower room pics will come soon.

YEAH the Great green Grow!

PS you can get away with a 24 hrs brew with that recipe. Works well for me. oh and I bought some mushroom compost to use with the vermi comp. The mushroom compost I have actually is 33% mushroom compost, 33% steer manure and 33% Food compost

 

[handyandy]

Welcome Chief, I was looking at some mushroom compost at Home Depot for about $3.00 for 25' bag and was a mix mushroom, steer, and somthing else. I am always trying to source lower cost stuff.

O.K. here is the flower room at 50 days 12/12



back half of room is g13 + ak 47 at 50 days
in front is g13 and ak 47 at about 7 days.
Started brewing ACT tonight. I will top dress the 7 day babys with n guano and water with this tea. This will be my first time with topdressing.

When I get some Neem seed meal, crabsheel meal, powdered rock phosphate, and Azomite I will be adding these to the mix too.

gl with the garden handyandy. I just recently read up on azomite and am willing to give it a try this month. The adverts for it seem to have really inflated claims on the bottle like superthrive does, so I don't know how seriously to believe those claims.

 

[handyandy]

Thanks for stopin by Ohmless.

The soil runing in the flower room has a mix of 50% promix with amends and 40% Humbolt soil 10% EWC. I mix my soil in a baby pool and add ACT and cook for 3-4 weeks.

One of the G13b is way bigger and heavyer than the rest.
I think this may be from soil not mixed all the way and something in this plants soil is helping. This may also be from lighting bright spots. I use an air-cooled hood so light is a little uneven.

Hard to tell whats up for sure. Maybe the coco, fish meal,or soy meal in the Humbolt found there way into this pot and I need to use more. Well IDK so gonna try some changes when I cook up a new batch of soil.

beautiful garden, andy!

I'll pull up a chair

 

[handyandy]

Thanks Heady!!!!!!

Man your design for that 5gal airlift brewer chaged my whole world!! The best upgrade for sure.

I got some Kushberry from Genetics and holy grail 69 beans on the way. I hope to be smokin me some kushberry by Christmass!!!!!!

 

[handyandy]

I now have my own proof that watering with ACT with EWC and molases will boost a plants health enough to help fight off spidermites!!!!!

I had spidermites bad at my old house. In 3-4 days I would go from seeing a few on one leaf to three or four whole plants covered in webs and spidermites. I was using AN grow and bloom. Plants were kinda healthy.

New house. saw some specks of spidermites on 8-30 go to treat room this morning 9-3 (5- days) and mites were still on same leaf and maybe one more leaf. That was it I believe the mites have problems infesting healthy plants. This ACT made with the Heady brewer make these plants ALL healthy and GREEN. I pulled the two infested leaves ( only 5 or six mites on each leaf in 5 days) and lightly misted with neem just around to infected area because these girls get picked in 9-12 days

Hello d.stillhigh, Plants at 51 days 12/12 were veged for 4 weeks after cloning. Plants at 11 days were veged for 5 weeks after cloning.

Plants in veg room growing for 6 weeks,will be 9 more days then they get flipped to 12/12.

Thinking about keeping a g13b for a mom because it has a very berry smell I hope comes out in taste when grown with no stress.

Pollinated a G13a with a stinky bagseed g13 last round and got a lot seeds!!!

 

[handyandy]

Clones ready for soil.

[handyandy]

Thanks Ohmless, love that name. no resistance, oh yeah.

Them little buggers gotta go. The keep coming in through little cracks in my wall along the back of the room. This will be fixed soon. Need to tuck-point my stone outside too.

Any one try mixing Neem oil, Aloe, and seeweed as a foliar/mite-treatment for veg?
Thinking about using this.

I found some aloe juice at Krogers for like $6.00 for 16oz. What was that perservitve that kills your microherd. I want to make sure i get the good stuff.

I am now looking for some aloe at home depot and lowes next stop green house.

looking great

my next soil mixes are going to be different mixes as well, super soil + water and some molasses and all is well.

I might end up cutting clones in my led grow tents when ready and do some with the lucas formula and others with different super soil mixes and see which I like best.

GREAT GROW and loving the pic updates

Happy Labor Day to all, and God bless organized labor!!!
You can thank them for the weeked, min wage, just about every body with a job can thank labor for fighting for what we have.

God bless all those coal miners way back when, that stood up to the coal companys and their evil, deadly, selfdestructive ways.
