Everything im using in this run is from Buildasoil
I started with some recycled 3.0 soil i used last grow. Im using 10 gallon fabric pots
I reamended my soil with some worm castings and Buildaflower and craft blend
I used a half gallon of worm castings and half gallon of Buildaflower to 9 gallons of 3.0 soil Making 10 gallons of soil for each plant
Then i added 1/4 cup of Buildasoil craft blend amendments and 1/8 of a cup of the Clackamas coots gnarly barley finely grounded up per plant
Then I spread some Buildasoil Buildaflower about a half inch deep across the top of the soil then I used the Buildasoil 12 seed cover crop blend and spread a little across the top of the Buildaflower and lightly mixed it into the soil. Then I used a Barley mulch straw layer across the top .then I added about 9 red wiggler worms to each pot.
Then i mixed into hose filterd water two separate one gallon chapin sprayers of Buildasoil WDG 3000 fungus knat control at 1/ tsp per gallon with some rootwise mycrobe complete at a 1/2tsp per gallon and some Quillaja 20 extract at a 1/8 tsp per gallon and mixed well . Then I slowly watered into the soil evenly.
I started my cover crop first one week before I planted my seeds on September 6th.
I planted the seeds on September 13th . I soaked 2 coco coins in some water with some rootwise mycrobe complete for 24 hours the night before. Then I squish the top of the coin and little so the seed doesn’t fall to deep lightly cover the top of the seed. And placed it in my humidity dome. I placed the dome in the tent with the cover crop set the timer for 20 hours on 4 hours off . Adjusted the light par to around 200 a little above for the first week. They both started showing first set of true leaves on September 17th, then I transplanted them into small 5”× 4”1/2 nursery plastic pots when the roots started growing through the coco coins. I watered them both once while in the dome with 5ml of water each.
I also have to turn my lights up. I left them at around 350 PAR for the first couple of days after transplant. Also i buried them up to the first set of leaves. I don’t have a lot of hight in this tent and I have to try and keep them short.
Here are some pictures from today before lights out. Also turns out that my Monkey Slapz didn’t have a top. It self split at the third node,and would explain better why the one on the right is so short. I think I will start to super crop the wedding cake a little so hopefully the Monkey slapz will catch up a little bit. I will better update my journal on the weekend with what I have done to this point. Here are a couple of pictures of where the Monkey Slapz split from
Here is what I have done at transplant to this point. I transplanted them both into 10 gallon fabric pots at transplant I added a half cup of Buildasoil craft blend amendments around the top making sure not to touch the stem then i added about a half inch layer of their Buildaflower across the top of the soil evenly spread. Then I watered both of them in with some rootwise mycrobe complete and Quillaja 20 at a 1/2 ts each per gallon. Watered both with around 1/2 gallon each probably less in fear of over watering them at transplant.
Im now watering them every 2 to 3 days with some rootwise mycrobe complete at 1/2 tsp per gallon and some Quillaja 20 at 1/2 tsp a gallon.
And once a week with their BuidaVeg at 1 tsp per gallon. I have to check where my PAR is at I have not had a chance since turning on my IONBEAM S16 full spectrum grow lights on the side. Wich I only have set to # 4 at the moment.
I also just defoliated the lower branches on the wedding cake and plucked the large fan leaves on both. My Monkey Slapz is going to be a dwarf plant . Trying to train her out a little . Before I flip to flower. It is what it is. Im going to water again today with just some rootwise mycrobe complete and some Quillaja 20 extract at 1/2 tsp per gallon. Im using the Ecowitt moisture meter sensors and I and trying to keep my moisture between 50% high and 30% low . Here are some pictures from then until now.
I love that BAS 3.0 it really grows some healthy plants…but using the Autopot 4 gal system it doesn’t last long enough if you grow big plants. 3-4 ft before you flower. I had to amend even before I went into flower, but I used the organic stuff, worked out fine.
