Hey all! This community has given me so much knowledge as a young grower, I thought it was time to give back and share one of my grows with you. I've completed a few other chemical grows with good success and wanted to try something organic this time. Hope you'll stick around, it's going to be a little bit of a slow start.
My last couple grows were with Grat3fulh3ad's GH 6/9 formula and it was awesome, but I keep hearing about how good organic tastes and smells. I've also heard that some people don't get a really good yield with organic, but seems that is also up for debate so it just adds to my curiosity.
Genetics:
2 Head Seeds - Wreck-D: Started with 4 seeds, only 2.5 have made it. One is just trying as hard as she (hopefully) can! All Un-Sexed as of now.
1 Unknown Breeder - Blue Berry: Started with 3 last grow, 2 were hermies. Were supposed to be femmed seeds. Last one smells like blueberry pie!
3 Unknown Breeder - Jah-Kush: Received as clone. Yields pretty good. Nice Indica Type
1 Unknown Breeder - Pure Sativa: Received as clone. I think this may be an outdoor plant, not too impressed with it, but she keeps rooting! I have one growing outside and seems to be doing much better. Maybe she'll like some indoor organic love?
Environment:
RO Water
2 – 600W HPS Lights. Maybe 1 depending on how I feel. They are dimmable lights as well so there are options...
7”x7”x10” buckets I think they are almost 3 gallons each. Not sure if I'll use these or construct my own bed (Soma style). Thoughts?
Soil Recipe courtesy of Organics for Beginners. Thanks BurnOne, LC & Bongaloid!
LC’s Soiless Mix #1:
5 parts Coco Coir
3 parts perlite (small, it's all i have)
2 parts wormcastings
Powdered (NOT PELLETIZED) dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic
foot of the soiless mix. Sunleaves Soil Sweetener - pulverized dolomitic limestone
FOOD SOURCE - RECIPE #2
Bongaloid's Guano Mix.
Use all these items combined with one gallon of soil mix.
1/3C hi N Guano Sunleaves Mexican Bat Guano (10-2-1)
1/2C hi P Guano Sunleaves Jamaican Bat Guano (1-10-0.2)
1 Tbsp Algamin Kelp Meal (1-0-2)
Liquid Karma (0.1-0.1-0.5)
I'm a few days into my soil prep. I mixed it all up last weekend and I'm just waiting for the bacteria (micro herd?) to kick off. I pretty much just took the instructions from the first soil recipe and applied it to the 2nd recipe:
“Mix all the dry ferts into the soiless mix well and wet it, but don't soak it with
Liquid Karma and water @ 1 tbs./gal. Stir and mix it a few times a week for a week or
two so the bacteria can get oxygen and break down the bone meal and make it available...”
The clones/seeds are currently in a coco/perlite mix receiving GH 6/9 until I can get them transplanted into the organic soil mix. I don't really have anything to pot them up in, so hopefully that won't be a problem. Not sure the Wreck-D will be ready when the others go to flower next week, so I'm just planning to transplant them when they are ready.
Hope this goes well
