I'm back!!!!!!!!!!

The game has changed. My last run I used the full Roots Organic bottle line and promix. I topped and trained but I am going to be doing things a little different this time.

Marlo got me think about a "just add water" run and I didn't think it could be done simply or if I was even capable. I researched night and day and I have decided to go with Subcool's super soil and I couldnt be more excited. I am running more than 4-5 5gall smartie so its not like I need a lot of supersoil. I cut his recipe in half. This is what I mixed up this afternoon:

2 large bags of a high-quality organic potting soil. I used FFOF and FF Happy Frog bc that is what I have access to (i.e., your base soil)
6.25 to 12.5 lbs of organic worm castings
20 ounces steamed bone meal
20 ounces bloom bat guano
20 ounces blood meal
5 ounces of kelp meal
10 ounces of alfalfa meal
3/4 lbs rock phosphate
3/16 cup or 3 tablespoons Epsom Salts
1/8 cup or 2 tablespoons sweet lime (dolomite)
1/8 cup or 2 tablespoons azomite (trace elements)
1.5 teaspoons powdered humic acid
7 tablespoons of Roots Oregonism

I mixed it all up in a baby pool and will be "cooking" it in a 35gall garbage can with lid. I am bubbling 2-3 gallons of water to de-chlorinate and will water tomorrow to get everything activated. At week 4, I will pour it back out in the baby pool, mix thoroughly and age 2 more weeks in trashcan before using...

Super Soil will be in the bottom half of the pot, the rest will be FFOF/FFHF as my base soil.

I have placed 8 D-Trains (white domina x qrazy train) in rapid rooters and have them under t-5s. I also popped one (1) DinaFem Blue Widow and one (1) Reserva Privada Confidential Cheese. For a total of ten seeds.

The seeds have been in plugs for 24 hrs and the soil was mixed up this afternoon.

I am going to be MAINLINING all of my plants and will keep a log as I go with excellent pics. The thought is to top and train evenly so I have 8 nice colas on each plant. I will be taking clones early and flowering to find sex and eliminate males immediately. At this point in time, I have no need for them.

Other than that, setup hasn't changed. Secret Jardin DR90 with a 400/600 hps dependings on temps. Just bought a 2 ft (8) bulb t5 which will handle the majority of veg. I will blast with 400mh for 2-3 weeks before flipping the lights.

This is only my third run so I am new to this but learning fast. This is more than a hobby to me. This is my passion and I am grateful to provide wonderful cannabis to myself and a select couple friends.

P/S= I might be purchasing Tropf Blumats to further automate this process. Having the amended soil will make this much easier to begin with. Besides the carbs on day 25, 35 and 45, I plan on only adding tap water. The d-trains should finish around 60 days.

this is pretty much everything. there are two rows of DTE products..all is said and done, i spent about 100 bucks on everything i need for about 4 batches of SS, minus the bags of base soil...



my assortment of seeds, root riots stay wet...

This should be good. Is this the same strain nugbuckets was running? Looking forward to your grow!

This will be very good. My first time mainlining, using super soil and just adding water. That is going to change my life. I will be patient with this and learn as much as possible. Nugbuckets has been an inspiration to me and I can't wait to get another grow off the. Ground.

Update:

Nothing to report. Almost 4days and not a single seed has broken the surface. I have forgotten how anxious i get when germinating seeds...

Latest update:

Did a little rooting around. Most if not all the seeds are about to pop through. I am hoping a few break free by the morning. It happens fast when it does. I may have buried them a little deep from the get go...i removed some bits and pieces of the rapid rooters to give them the path of least resistance. i think they thanked me for it. I will tune back. I post a lot in my threads bc i get really fucking exciting popping seeds. this is so much fun. it will be around halloween when i have some nugs but it really should be BUMPER crop. this is the summer of seriously heavy training

I turned the super soil a little today. we have been having some very warm days and it seems as though the soil still smells strong but nothing too funky. i put this lid back on the rubbermaid trash can and will let it do its thing for another 3 weeks before dumping it and totally mixing it up. throw it back in the can and cook for another 2-4 weeks....

i will be putting about 50% SS in each 5gall square geo-pot and then base soil around plant and hoping to just add water to harvest.

these geopots are sick too. have only a 10x10 foot print too! 5 galls!

2 d-trains are up with the rest about the pop...

the confidential cheese is up as well!
