I've been away for few days so I left my plants alone, but here we are with another update. I just fed them with some compost & clover tea which I make in my garden using rainwater. This should provide nitrogen and micro elements boost exactly when they need it. This is like an energy drink, easily absorbed and quickly consumed, but with a lot of microlife that will stay in the soil and will multiply. Otherwise we have a full on spring with rush going through the nature, everything's blooming and growing. I'm getting rosemary full of flowers, lavender growing new shoots and cherry trees blossoming in pink. Under my pile of compost mint is showing bunch of heads too. I've already planted garlic, onions, parsley and salvia. I'm gonna show you next time but in the meantime I'm blazing my Mexican landrace joint, wonderful daytime smoke. Not as potent as my Colombian, but much more peaceful and very gentle on the mind. Really love it

The plant of this Jarilla de Sinaloa looked like that:

And here are currently vegging plants in a phase which I like a lot when they are vegging but growing by the day...

Super Lemon Haze

Ultra Dog

OG Kush°1

OG Kush°2 already getting viney

Ghost Train Haze

Ultra Dog heavy indica pheno

Ultra Dog slightly lighter pheno

And a variation of indica pheno

Family shots

And just to show you what a dud pheno looks like this is a Ghost Train Haze one of two similar plants, planted exactly in the same time as bigger plants. And that's why I like outdoor cause the best and worst phenos strike away very quickly!

But yep it's still a High Brix soil, which for this strain might not be perfect. There are a lot of mutants in the lineage of this strain, so I believe we won't see better than the stretchy purpling pheno. Regular version still might be better cause these are fems.

Ok, have a green one I'm going to prepare the rest of the soil and do some onion planting

Hey Conrad, all caught up. The plants are stunning as per usual. I love the peaceful on the mind comment on the Mexican sativa. I really appreciate some of the less powerful strains.

"Ultra Dog slightly lighter pheno" looks like she got crapped on by a bird. Now tell us the truth, that's your secret right? lol

Re: Ramble In The Jungle Feat - OG Kush - Ultra Dog - Ghost Train Haze & Colombian Do

No man it's just a residue from compost tea

 

[drcannabi]

Re: Ramble In The Jungle Feat - OG Kush - Ultra Dog - Ghost Train Haze & Colombian Do

I figured it was. I was kind of hoping that it was a bird though. I've used seabird guano with stellar results in the past. I have no clue about outdoor so everything you do is education to me.

Re: Ramble In The Jungle Feat - OG Kush - Ultra Dog - Ghost Train Haze & Colombian Do

Never used it. I used bat guano though however I didn't like the results so much so I dropped it.

Conrandino, what did the bat guano do that left unsatisfactory results. If you don't mind me asking.

It's very slow release, too rich in phosphorus and potassium for High Brix purposes, and it's also not sustainable. I dropped all high potassium/phosphorus/nitrogen fertilizers ever since, and I'm working on getting all the other nutrients right.

One of my local sources has 10 different guanos. The difference in their N-P-K is huge:
0-12-0, 0-13-1, 12-4-2, 5-7-4, 7-7-2, 9-3-1, 0-13-0, 0-10-1, 8-4-4, 12-12-2.5

Everything is looking good there! Those are some wide leaves on the UDs. In one of your other journals you were mentioning using calcium carbonate on your plants. Do you use it for the calcium or do you use it as a pH buffer?

 

[Conradino23]

Re: Ramble In The Jungle Feat - OG Kush - Ultra Dog - Ghost Train Haze & Colombian Do

I used it for calcium release, steadily I build my soil that way. But I use lithothamnium now exclusively.

Re: Ramble In The Jungle Feat - OG Kush - Ultra Dog - Ghost Train Haze & Colombian Do

How do you use the lithothamnium Conrad? Do you top dress or is it an ingredient in your soil? Or both? A quick Web search left me scratching my head. Where do you source it from? Are there better types/brands than others?

Sorry for all the questions, but when you use something exclusively, I listen up and start planning how I can use it.

Thanks Conrad!

Re: Ramble In The Jungle Feat - OG Kush - Ultra Dog - Ghost Train Haze & Colombian Do

Hmmm in Italy there's plenty of products, check the one in the first few pages of the journal, I've dropped a pic. Lithothamnium is really a type of algae sourced from the coasts of UK and Ireland, it will typically contain 80% of calcium, 10% of magnesium, and all the other bunch: iron, molibden, sulfur, zinc, sulfur, phosphorus in smaller amounts.

I top dress my soil in the spring between Feb and Mar 2 or 3 times, and I let the rain do the rest. You can also use it when cooking a batch of soil, or as a tea from late veg to late flowering. Greatly improves chemical qualities of soil, which translates into great mineral taste of the bud with sparkly character.

I'm really down to this, volcanic rock dust and fish meal this season, while I source locally all the rest including bamboo biochar

Thanks Conrad, appreciate the info.

You're welcome man!

Thanks! Do you mean it releases steadily or you top dress with it steadily to build your soil? I should say you had top dressed with it steadily when using it.

 

[Conradino23]

Re: Ramble In The Jungle Feat - OG Kush - Ultra Dog - Ghost Train Haze & Colombian Do

Yeah it releases slowly and thus it builds your soil with calcium, which is the most important mineral to go High Brix.

These 5 pics show how clover tea works on young seedlings! It's been 4 days!

They've been just topped, so outplanting is very near. Probably in few days you're gonna see them in The Sunny Spot
