Greetings

growing
HSO: 707 Headband
Amherst Sour Diesel
Sapphire Og
TGA: Querkle (2ct)
Dinafem: White Widow XXL Automatic

sprouting in
-humic acid soak
-vermicasting blocks

vegging/flowering in
-live forest flooring, screened
-vermicastings, african night crawler
-leaf compost
-fermented kitchen garbage, composted
-biochar
-bokashi, coffee ground and peat substrate
-steamed bone meal @ 0-10-0
-BD500, surplus
-sandy loam, with very matured FKG compost

flowering will be more compost in ratio

starting under 187w actual of monochromatic LEDs various red and blue spectrums (MAGNUM 357 LED)

flowering under minimum of 420W actual may bump to 630W if the canopy demands.

regular use of EMextended foliar sprays and vortex brewed water.
biweekly top dress of bokashi.

will have to determine sex of Querkles upon rooting first cuttings

Stamped 100% vermicastings into medium blocks and small blocks. The medium are for this grow and the small are for my peppers (never planted peppers in small blocks so im just playing around). They are stamped onto the lid of a storage container, i drilled many many holes into the clear plastic tub portion of this to allow for breathing but protects from my fan. this is placed over the the lid like a humidity dome (because it's a humidity dome) :eyesmoke:

duh.

i wet the vermicastings in EMe and molasses @ 2/3T=2tsp=10ml each per qrt of non-chlorinated water. this volume of liquid was too much for the amount of vermicastings i layed out so the rest went into my leaf compost bin. the seeds were then removed from the cups and planted into the indention of each block's center.

any questions or comments about this grow please ask on my organics thread "from scratch only" located in my signature. this is so i may use my journal in the future as a source of easy access information. maybe i mess something up and need to recollect this info right? thanks!! :roll:

One Querkle is up and shell-less.

two Viper City OG 13th clones are along for the ride. got some good roots and transplanted to solo cups of the base soil i was planning on using for the rest.

temps are pretty cool here and has left me with only one seed sprouted in 6 days from initially soaking them in water. i added a cfl bulb over head for heat. it's not on a timer so will be running 24 hours straight until the other 5 seeds germinate. It's not even THAT cold. i think the low at night is 70F

Well that was disappointing! nobody germinated!! cept that one querkle....

fortunately, given reasonable doubt in the viability of the seeds versus crap germination process, Attitude has dispatched a new packet of these seeds for a second go. Thanks! stay tuned for updates our friend Querkle^ who is looking fresh and dandy

ok so one of the viper city og 13 got transplant shocked upon getting it out of the little rooter container. other one is fine and hungry looking. Q1 is an unsex'd Querkle.
tea is humic acid concentrate. EMe, molasses, neem oil, ghost pepper, decarbed trim(wastenotwantnot), blood meal, fermented pumpkin, fermented steamed bone meal extract all into a qrt of water. bubbled with a turkey baster periodically over an hour.

Day 10 Watered with aereated EMe and Molasses 1:100 each

iHearAll · Oct 26, 2016

^that was a joint i added to that tea in the picture.

Nobody cares how old you are clone but i still love you :oops:

querkle #1 Day 14

added some 200+ watts of side lighting. 4ct 100w full sprectrum chips in series, capacitive reactance ballast. fans powered separately.

so companion crops can be implemented to let you know you have a pest before you notice it on the cannabis. i see some speckles on my leafy greens.

querkle day 21 or something

Q1 is my tell tale leaves to see how the foliar spray worked. the leaves looked unharmed. my viper city og 13 bush clearly needs to be fed something a little more serious. or i had the tea imbalanced. tbh i think the fermented extracts don't have the K values that i want. it looks all scraggly especially because it needs water and i just suppercropped/LST'd her out.

Q2 is this little seedling that just emerged. Also a querkle.

new capacitor for a Xc reactance ballast. 450vac 300uF. lights look really bright and it didnt blow my 3.5a fuse so it's in range still. i was half worried id turn it on and the fuse would POP! so im testing it today and this baby is shitting light. but idk that these dinky heatsinks will handle. we'll see, from experimentation ive noticed that as the heat rises, so does the current into the LED chip. so if it over heats it will pop a fuse and just turn itself off. a day of use should test this enough.

pH got thrown off from my tea. i used gypsum and not lime. my gypsum doesnt do squat for pH where as my lime bumps it up very well. i imagine i didnt use enough lime in the soil mix so i re-amended a few gallons with lime to transplant into. basic 5gal smart pot. i think it's pH but i also changed the light schedule to be on at night and off during the day to heat my house this winter. to buffer their transition i left the lights on for almost 36 hours and then afterwards, these leaves taco'd up. it appears to be healing but i should probably give this plant a nice couple of weeks to adjust before i jump into flowering. plus its small af compared to where i want it. night temps are low too so that may be party of the culprit behind these purple stems but im not incredibly sure. the soil has been ammended with bone meal and i have been feeding a soil drench calcium phosphate extract from charred bones.. i used the spent bones in this new soil transplant. hope she turns around sooner than later. so i know where im at in terms of soil mix and tea recipes.

went out of town, failed to water a clone before i left.

realized i have plenty of room to grow two autos. So, Purple Grizzly Auto and Auto Pounder are in towels. The soil is my basic FKG blended with an extra quarter volume of leaf compost, lime, bone meal, ash, and bird seed bokashi. I watered the new soil with a neem and cedar oil solution to prepare for mites.

In the seedlings pictured below: I've been fighting mites with ghost pepper tea but the mites have of course grown accustomed to thai food soil. They are now immune to the capsicum and somehow the neem and cedar as a result.... strange. The two unlabeled are querkles. One appears to be most tormented by pests. I bagged only the plant top and sprayed the soil line with a 1:1 iso : h20 solution. This immediately solved the living mite problem. Back to the regime of natural oils to maintain a constant mite death.

EmDawg & EWE-2 have germinated and were planted into soil upon roots being an 1/8th of an inch.

707 Truthband, Kookies, Dedoverde Haze, Blue Dream, Purple Grizzly Auto, and Auto Pounder should be ready to plant by midday tomorrow.

super cropped the top an hour ago.
