I ended up watering the bed Tuesday afternoon as everything is starting to drink a bit more. This was the first real watering other than spritzing the topsoil since last Thursday. Plants needed the water, but are still somewhat on the recovery from last week’s stress. These pics are from...

Weekly Update Plants are coming along in spite of me doing dumb stuff. This past Thursday I accidentally watered my plants too soon and overwatered them. It had been awhile since I had calibrated my soil moisture sensors and they were a good bit off. One down side to the Blumat Moisture Sensors...

I’ll try to make it a good show! If I can keep my dumbass from making too many mistakes, hopefully we’ll get to see some good expressions out of some of these.

Glad to have you here! I love growing organic herb! It’s not always the easiest route, but I believe it provides the best buds when done proper. This is sometimes easier said than done lol, but we do what we can. :joint:

How much did that set you back per mini board?

I’ll try to keep the journal updated at least once every week with pics, progress, ideas and musings. Any questions, comments, critiques, suggestions are welcome! Thanks for stopping by! bongsmilie

These were the Original Sour D cuts when I first got them about 3 weeks ago. They came in a little rough, and my temporary veg space doesn’t have the friendliest environment at the moment. But you’ll see that they are coming along… About 9 days after transplanting into the bed Here are...

Now onto my current Genetics. This will be round 2 for cannabis in this tent. I’m super excited for this round as I have some sweet genetics to try and I plan on keeping a much closer eye on everything this time around. I recently acquired 2 different cuts of Sour Diesel from Gaby Staten...

The last run (and first run) turned out great, but I did experience some deficiencies towards late flower. I’m ashamed to admit that I got lazy after planting and didn’t keep an eye on my soil PH, which resulted in some of the less than perfect growth at the finish. I have been prepping my soil...

Before I get into my soil mix, I just wanted to share what led me to building my own soil. I wanted a turn key grow to have a hobby I enjoy and a side hustle when I put this grow together. I bought lights, a tent, and premade KiS Organics soil that was supposed to be water only because I prefer...

Hey Everyone, I’ve been meaning to make a grow journal for some time, but life happens, and so it’s only now that I’m starting a grow log. I’ve always wanted a solid organic indoor soil grow where I could control all the environmental parameters to my choosing and watering was taken care of...

I just went through this with like 4 packs of older seeds. Some of them had good vitality, while others were off to a painfully slow start. I planted a bunch that looked like your first photo (or worse) and had an extremely low survival rate. The ones I babied or kept in the paper towel longer...

Don’t sweat it, the seedling is still using its store of nutrients and enzymes that early in its life. Like @medidedicated said, if they are having that hard of a time with the paper towel method, they may also struggle if you go straight into soil without sprouting a decent little taproot...

I guess I didn’t really answer OP’s question, but wanted to give my thoughts on the differences between living soil & super-soil. Anywho, things I would do to convert super soil to living soil (some of these have already been mentioned): Mulch- thick layer of aged plant material and straw is...

I’m going to have to disagree with you on the wide sun-like spectrum. Filling the cyan/green gap that is lacking from most traditional LED spectrums, is something that I’m working on right now and plant response is great so far. But when I was referring to broadening both ends of the spectrum, I...

That is the exact paper I was referring to, thank you for pulling it up! One of the things I take issue from their concluding remarks is this following statement. “ Increasing LI also increased harvest index and the size and density of the apical inflorescence; both markers for increasing...

I agree with you completely. I don’t remember if it was a Bugbee study or where, I’d have to find it again, but the study basically concluded that a larger fraction of red in the spectrum composition can trigger more inflorescence (bud) growth. Like two plants that had the same end dry weight...

I believe he was referencing their pricing in the context of what’s available to us cannabis growers, be it a for DIY project or what’s available for use in a commercial fixture. None of these grow light companies are ever going to be ordering diodes in quantities to get the price breaks you...

I agree with everything else you said except for this statement. If you’ve grown bud long enough and under enough different light sources, you would know that is a false statement. Hell everybody knows that’s a false statement. Studies show differences between plants grown under different light...

A super soil is a soil that’s runs high levels of dry fertilizer in the mix to supply to the nutrition needs of the plant through a cycle without the need of additional liquid feed. This is why they can often run hot, especially starting out. A living soil, as a few have already mentioned, is a...
