Hello all,
I am growing using the true living organics style I have three chambers plus a compositing tent I will be using to build soil and a tent for compost tea. I will be using a worm farm and a fish tank to supplement my reverse osmosis water. I also will be building a rainwater collection unit. Besides growing in the three chambers one is 2x2.5 with 150 watts led, 5x5 with 680 watts led, and a 4x8 with 2 350 watts led lights. There is ventilation and when the tents are closed they run hot in the mid-80s and have a 45-55 relative humidity without plants. If temps get too hot I could open the tents. also, I am considering adding humidifiers to the environment because I want to maintain higher humidity. As well as using a dehumidifier in situations where that is needed. the entire environments share a connected lung room so any alterations to the lung room which is contained can affect the tent's environment. Also, I live in the east where it gets cold in the winter, and am in a basement so I am protected from the elements. I plan on having all the elements that keep my tlo active in the basement where I am growing. I do not want any additions that have been exposed directly from the outdoors coming in because I do not want any pests. In my first grow I used the fast TLO soil mix and planted many seedlings of all feminized strains than they all go infected with pests and all the issues in the book because I imported mulch from a pile to the side of my house and then used that on my containers, inside. I will now attempt to restart with an entire dedicated recycling tent and follow the process of cooking the soil and adding in all the amendments, that I collected. Also, I will start a worm farm and a fish tank to support the living water and teas. I also plan on using spikes layering and teas to support the microbiology in the soil. This summer I plan on building a raised bed with the Tlo soil mix and growing cannabis in that too along with other fruits and veggies potentially because I already have a garden bed in place and I grew tomatoes this year (4x8). I am also composting in a location near the raised beds and hopefully, this can support the raised beds. In the end, I will have 3 functional chambers growing bud plus a composing tent and a tea/worm tent. And there will be 2 raised beds one with tlo soil mix and another with a regular soil mix that I will re amend tlo style and try to add more microbes. As well as top-dress and tea/spike the bed.
I'm hoping the bud comes out well enough to justify the cost of running the equipment and it gives me a steady supply of cannabis for my medicinal use and recreational use. I use cannabis because I love the way it makes me feel and inspires a love for all the beings on this planet. Get up stand up.
Currently, I am establishing my composting tent, then building the soil. Then waiting for it to be ready. In the meantime, I will set up a worm farm and establish a healthy planted fish tank. I have also purchased my genetics, and am waiting for them to arrive. I have selected the revs seeds from kingdom organics seeds and will be growing 4 strains to start. 4x 10 seeds, popping 6 at a time directly in the soil mix. Hoping for a 90 percent germination rate. once sprouted I should have between 20-24 sprouts TLO. They are starting in 3-inch pots and then I will transplant them to grow pro plant warrior pots, 1 gallon. They will be in these pots until I discover their sex then I will cull the males into a tent and separate the females. Then, select the best females and take cuts of them for flower after 60 days from seed. keeping these mother plants in the grow room and recycling or flowering the females I do not want to keep. leaving me with about 10-12 females and 10-12 males.
These plants will all need to be transplanted into 2-gallon pots for their veg state and then later they will be transplanted into 3-gallon pots to flower. To start I will be mixing 32 gallons of soil, after the sprouting, I will use 2 gallons (in 3x3 pots x 24 sprouts) and then a week later I will transplant these plants into the 1-gallon pots. That means I will need 24 gallons of soil to transplant into 1-gallon containers. well, I will only have 30 on hand so that leaves me with 6 gallons left after transplant. This means that when I need to transfer them to their final 3-gallon pots I won't have enough soil. unless I cull the males and select the prime females. in that case, I can reduce the plant count drastically while planting females to clone and flower and continue to veg the mother plants. In the end I will have a mother plant and a father plant for all 4 strains and I will seprete the two into different tents, with intention of pollen collection. Within the next 6 months i plan on using some pollen to pollinate the mother plants and than collect seeds. Also take clones and put them in a tent with mild led lighting/temps to support slower growth and nutrient use.
Using the clones i will decide to flower clones in containers. To keep under the 12 plant count i can do 8-12=4 clones or flower 1 clone of each strain in a pot. I can start them all at the same time and this will lead to harvesting 4 plants at once with 3-4 ozs each. Or i can stagger the rate that i put them into flower and this will allow me to harvest every 2 weeks 1 plant. An easier approach.
I will be building my soil in a seperate tent. And i have upgraded my soil capacity to around 32 per composter and i have 2 52 gallon good ideas compost tumblers in my 4x4 composting tent.
I also have 25 packs of 1 gallon,2 gallon, 3 gallon and 5 gallon gro pro plant warrior pots coming . Will also add a comprehensive list of all the ingredients i am using in the grow. although i will not release the soil recipe because it is the revs 2.2 soil recipe. I would like assistance on starting my worm farm and fish thank although i will handle that once have the components. I also need a stand for my compost tea brewer in the tea tent and jars for the TLO ingredients. I also am getting 2 aero cloners 32 site and another 2x2.5 tent to put males in.
Will keep you all updated.
