86 hour update. Looks like the M3 and 50/50 mix are gonna make a race of this competition after all!

63 hour update. So far the straight Compost is kicking ass! 9 out of 10 seeds are either pushing up or pushing through! The 50/50 mix appears to be in second, and the straight M3 is in last place as of now.

Yeah, wasn’t really expecting to. Just saying that such outlandish claims require proof to be taken seriously.

Wet, or dry? Cause that’s some ridiculous yield if that’s dry weight. That would be 4.25 grams per Watt. What size space are you growing in? I’d honestly have to see that to believe it.

Got the seed sprouting experiment up and running. These are all “Stress Seeds” from a couple runs back, so figured I might as well put them to some good use. Decided to try 3 different mediums for this trial. Straight Michigan Made Mix (M3), a 50/50 mix of M3 and Compost, and straight Compost...

Same if you are growing in Living Soil. The Soil Food Web is capable of providing the plant with exactly what it wants whenever it wants it.

Harvested the pollen, chopped and mulched in the plants, Top Dressed, then watered everything in. Gonna brew a AACT in the next few days and reset the moisture level in the bed. Once that is set I’m also gonna do some seed popping trials with the Stress seeds from a couple runs back to make...

So….been a while since I updated last. Reason is that, about 10 days into Flower I discovered that somehow I mixed up the Clones of the big female and big female from last run…and put 4 male clones into the bed. :wall: I had put the females (which I thought were males) outside and was planning...

3590’s are still good COBs. Cree 3590’s are still decent COBs, but they’ve been surpassed by Vero 29’s and Luminous COBs. And to be honest, COBs are a quickly dying technology, becoming replaced by Quantum Board and Light Bar style LEDs, so there isn’t a lot of innovation or R&D being put...

The Prayer Pupil harmed on me and I didn’t catch it till it was too late. So, yeah the Mazar and Skunk got partially seeded. Haven’t really had much luck with the MMS cuts that I’ve gotten honestly. Seem “fragile”/not resilient to stress and prone to herm. Wound up with a crap load of “throw...

I mean, they aren’t of the same quality as something like the Scorpion Diablo, or Fluence, or Sun on Demand Plasma lights, but they are actually pretty decent budget lights. I personally wouldn’t say they suck (at least if we are talking about their QB or Bar Style lights), but I suppose it’s...

Day 3 of 12:12 lighting today. Plants are already filling in nicely. Continuing to tuck and reposition the Tops so as to try to space them out as evenly as possible and allow for proper airflow and light penetration. Will likely continue to lightly defoliate as needed until the big leaf strip at...

Got the SCROG net in, got everything lollipopped, Top Dressed, mulched in all the leaves that I trimmed off, added a little more Compost, watered in with a Compost Tea, and Flipped.

The Scorpion Diablo is definitely a big step up from the TSW2000. Not only is it over twice the wattage draw from the wall, but the shape/configuration of the diodes gives it a much more even light spread and they can safely be used closer to the canopy as a result, giving it considerably better...

Day 33 update. Plants are recovering well from their Topping. Gonna brew an AACT and then use it to water in some Top Dressing and put in the SCROG net and see how they look. Then will probably Top them one final time and clean them up a little more to do a proper Manifold canopy.

Day 29 in the Living Soil. Plants had definitely fully recovered from their first Topping, so I Topped them again. Also left a couple lower branches on and didn’t Lollipop the branches that will stay so that they have more leaf matter with which to help them recover. Once they recover from...

Finally got them Topped today. Unfortunately I didn’t get in the tent till after the lights had gone off (running them 10pm-2pm to help with heating and Humidity overnight and keep it from getting too hot during the hottest part of the day) so they were kinda sleeping when I turned the lights...

Day 15 in the Living Soil and we are off to the races! I confidently say I could Top all 4 of these girls now and they’d keep on cranking. Unfortunately though, I didn’t have time to do it today, so will do it tomorrow instead.

Day 5 and the girls have already bounced back and are growing vigorously.

Yeah, maybe slightly better than a Blurple LED, but garbage compared to even the budget Quantum Boards that you can get at a fraction of the cost these days.
