DAY 30

The plants have exploded since last time. Conkushians bringing up the rear in terms of size. I'm going to have to transplant a bunch of these soon, based on the roots.

Top view. Row 1 is conkusians, 2 RKS, 3 SRSS:

Roots:


The goal is to have all of these these transplants by the end of this week. Hopefully by the next update they supersize!

Hey woolybear,
They are all looking very healthy and happy. Im really looking forward to seeing the grow progress.

[woolybear]

Thanks for stopping by slab!

I moved all the plants into 1-gallon fabric pots today, and doused them with 50% strength of that og biowar tea. I bought a bunch of cheap fabric pots a few years ago and have used them 2-3x each.

I'm pretty sure the fungus tea works, as I applied it in past grows and had no problems with insects. Prior I had to use an amid-based pesticide for those mfkn root aphids or whatever those bastages were.

I have them in the main tent with the 180w and 300w LEDs. I'm using H&G cocos for feed, as I have two bottles that were gathering dust.

Per advice I've seen from medman and others, I'm running them with very light nutes - topping out at around 900ppm but I hay bump it to 1.2ec. Trying out the med man 25% - 50% - 100% strength nute routine. Hey medman what kind of schedule do you run that on? X days each or something like that?

And the tent is definitely emitting skunky smells.

I'm attempting to maintain a tea culture as I'm low on the starting material. The tea was rocking, lots of foam, nonoffensive odor.

I used 3/4 of my tea for transplanting today. I topped it off with R/O water and gave it about 100ml of molasses as a food source, bubbling with an air stone.

My theory is the little shit funguses, with fresh food and 300% fresh water, will go nuts and multiply.... so I don't have to spend $30 again on bags of talc and spores.


Next update in 10 days....

Here is the team under the LED lights:



With the exception of the Conkushians, which want to be squat, most of the plants have roughly doubled in size since the last update. I'm hand watering in coco, trying to keep them moist per the med man rule of more females.

Current plant heights:
Conkushian (bottom row) 7-8"
Rock Star Kush (mid row) 10-11.5"
Silver Rock Star Kush (top row) 8-9"
Headband 8" (one of the runts)

They are loving the lights. I'm wondering when/if I should top them. I probably will top them all, but always hesitate.

The RSK are the fastest growers and priority for topping. The Conkushians I'll have to top later, as they are the slow veggers of the team.

I abandoned the tea experiment and am brewing a fresh batch for them. Foliar, Root and Nute pack + distilled water + earthworm castings + molasses and bubbled for 24 hours.
Go ICMAG and Med Man

Hi medman, that's a great question.

I'm a notorious over-vegger. As this is a seed run and I have a bunch in the tent, I don't want them to get too big.

What would be your recommendation on when to top and flip?

[woolybear]

The two bigger RKS grew about 1/2 inch or so overnight, so I went ahead and FIM'd them.

I'll top/FiM the rest when they reach around 11". It will take the conkushians a while to reach that.

So much happy plants. Got healthy white roots poking the the bottoms of the fabric pots. Usually they end up going brown, but I'm going to put a spacer in the pot of one or two and see if I get rootage. Passive reservoir type of thing.

Howeever, one of the SRSS's is less happy than the rest, some yellow leafage on the bottom. Gave her some more nutes.

Its interesting to note their behavior, mainly how they present their leaves.

Most of the time they are horizontal and erect, but a few like to go droopy at times - mostly in the evening I've noticed.

By handwatering I can tell how much they are drinking. Conkushians are water sippers, while they others are 50/50 heavier drinkers and regular.

Tea drench is tonight!!!

[woolybear]

I gave the plants 1 gallon of tea last night. I think they liked it as this morning the pots were light enough for another 1/2 gallon of tea.

I use distilled water for the tea, and regular tap water for mixing nutes. According to some quick research the chloramines in city h20 don't harm the bennies, so I'll continue with that.... but maybe give them a one day breather with more distilled water.

Someday I may try this:
1/2 gallon of tea with root pack and foliar pack
1 oz of growmore kelp ($20) SHAKE UP SPRAYER AT THIS TIME TO MIX KELP
1 tsp of Ca25 ($150 for 4lbs of Veg/Ornamental)

"I use this solution to soak all the plants from cutting to week 3 of bloom. I do not pH it. It is pretty much neutral.

This is a game changer. 1x per week be consistent." - Capulator dude (guy who makes the bennies)

Maybe I go halvies with somebody :P

Hey wooly things are looking great in there.
Really seem to love those leds, an tea.

Yours are catching up to mine fast!

[tleaf jr.]

nice documentation of those kids they look like their really loving the teas and fungal powders , what spacer will you place them on to get up the rootage?
