Just waiting on some ewc to arrive and then im going to start building the soil, it's going to be peat, ewc and perlite at a 1.1.1 ratio.
Adding to this just under 1 cup of neem seed meal, 1 1/2 cups of comfrey pellets and 2 cups of kelp meal per cubic foot also 4 cups of sieved seer rock dust and a half cup of rock dust unsieved.
I'll also add some myco's a bit of grochar and some insect frass.
These will be given regular tea's (microbemans recipe) and regular doses of comfrey and seaweed extract and top dressed if needed.
I'm torn between 30 litre and 56 litre root pouches at the moment but will probably go with the bigger size as im going to re-use this soil.
I was originally going to grow out 5 franks x jack but seeing how some of the other strains are looking in other peoples gardens, I just had to test some of the others as well,
So it'll be 1 seed of each of the above and here's hoping I get a female from the franks x jack.
I'm leaving my job this month to start a distance learning uni course so I'll have plenty more time at home to look after them and I'll post weekly or fortnightly updates for anyone interested.

Good luck raspaul..

I've only recently come across biochar.. Have you used it before? Are you using the soil conditioner?

Looks like you're aiming for the stars with that NLD selection

Yes Kal I use it in every soil mix, have done for a year or so now its quality stuff. I even use the fertilizer grochar on my outdoor veggies,
just a handful on top at the beginning of the season. It also has added myco's, ewc and seaweed so you can't go wrong.

Hi Raspul,

Are the Frankie's Incense Haze X Jack seeds much smaller than the seeds from the crosses?

Mr jab,

I just collected seeds from my franks can jacks f2s.... One plant produced tiny seeds, the other were large. If I remember correctly there was some variance in the 10 pack had.

Thanks for the info !

soil mix is finished it's different than the original, pot size is a 39 L root pouch and in each pot is-
12 L peat
10 L EWC
9 L perlite
2.5 L vermiculite
0.5 L crushed lava rock
4.5 cups seers rock dust
1.2 cups comfrey pellets
1.2 cups kelp meal
0.7 cups neem seed meal
1.8 cups biochar
3 tbsp gypsum
1.5 tbsp oyster shell grit which I powdered and sieved
A handful of worms and then covered with breathable material, I'm also going to add myco's when planting.
This mix is a lot lighter than the original but I'm officially jobless from next week so I'll be spending a lot more time with them so I can top dress with what ever if it's needed.
I'll also be using the last crops leaves for a mulch and seeds will be started in a week or so

seeds started but a different line up to the original, I'm still running the lemon cello and hawaian spice but with 4 mountain jam instead of the others.

They have been planted in a mix of seedling soil perlite and a touch of EWC.
I'll give them a foliar feed with comfrey and seaweed extract in veg and top dress with some of the original soil mix if needed in flower.
I don't own any bottled nutes just the extracts and neem oil in the pics so nothing but water and a few tea's.
I'm not sure how this run is gonna turn out with so many changes made but here's hoping for a trouble free run.
