Good evening everyone. This is my newest journal related to open pollination. I have 2 plants that I am going to let do their things and will hopefully be a game changer like I say to my friend.
Mother was an Ice Cream Cake who was tossed in to a dumpster because she was covered in spider mites. Shoved her in a box for a day was in my trunk and then went to bushes where she was sprayed with some Dr. Bronners and some isopropyl and peroxide.
Brought inside after a frost so was withering under direct light however gave some seed after drying in the corner still in her 1 gallon pot she was chucked in.
The father was a gigantic Garlic Breath male from.in house genetics and is result of open pollination.
Yes they smell like a plant you would call Garlic Cake: sweet, sticky and garlicy. There was 2 males and now there is 1. The chosen 1 for being sharp smelling and being stickier more purple and thicker.
12 and 12 under a 400 watt hps in strawberry fields top dressed with fox farms happy frog soil acidifier peat blend.
Good things do come to those who wait.
What a better place tondo this to. I want to keep this plant the way it is hopefully the flowers are delectible as the plants smell now. Just showing pistils and balls. Feast your eyes on garlic cake prototypes.
Also showing some of my newest style in plant training... Less direct bends, but I still bend them over
Been more pinching and flattening really gets them super fat and sends a good concentration of their natural stress regulating hormones and shoot those sucker up to make a good bushy plant who is very strong.
I have adopted from the African flat stemming technique and also have only just started perfecting after years of flattening stems.
Be careful when flattening to not overly pinch and open the stems to pest or diseases.
Also be sure to handle your plants with clean hands or even consider gloves.
No glove, no love.
This should be good material to come as they are only getting started and have been going for we will say a couple months at least in 12 and 12.
About 3 ft tall from seeds nurtured to maturity from a plant found in the garbage. It makes a good story and shows you to not give up seeing results like this.
This lab a friend of mine and I constructed of elbow grease, concrete stain, paint and insulation really is a nice change of scenery from all the mylar tents huh everybody?
As I go on with this journal it will be transformed into a small food factory on the side with a small scale aquaponics system consisting of an elaborate series of filters and 2 tanks 1 with a bio filter and a uv sanitizer. The bucket tower system I am going to fabricate with pvc bottom screened drains. Covered in layers of materials ranging from lava rock/screens/ gravel/ screens/sand and a bristled layer. Followed by sponges layers for solids to be removed before the sand and gravel then lava rocks to keep the filter media cleaner and running smoothly. Trickled slowly back to the holding tank which will house some of my koi and goldfish.
The plants will all be fed what goes into the system and soley rely on that and what I can add that is fish safe. Like Iron and potassium supplements which all contain an array of chelated nutrients plants love. I give my plants aqueon aquatic plant food which is a 0-0-1 but has everything your micronutrients contain but better in my opinion because they're chelated and just use 1ml to a gal so cheap too.
Good bacteria added ti the system helps concert waste in to useable food the plants.
I am probably going to grow in hydroton and have some sort of cover like foil over the surfaces to keep algae down and help retain some rhizospheric humidity.
Another thing to mention is I am going as organic as possible and making some small worm farms to convert scraps into black gold and humic juice as well as fresh fishing bait and food for all my fish I am breeding.
So we will get to it and just want to say happy gardening everybody!
Stay tuned!
