2020 Outdoor Organic Grow Central Canada

Hey @Kodiak420 , that microbial mass stuff sounds like it is mycorrhizae. How expensive was it if you don’t mind my asking?

Curious if it is cheaper than Xtreme Gardening Mycos.

Not at all, how ever i didn't buy any yet.
135.00 plus tax for a liter. That would make 3300 liters of soil drench. So it's super concentrated. The brochure is below, however their website seems ify.

Girls are happy, except for that cal issues,they seem content otherwise.

They aren’t actually saying what it is, but from the description, my guess is mycorrhizae and that is expensive.

Check out Xtreme Gardening’s lineup. I use both their Mycos (2.2lb bag for $32.75 USD)

and their Azos

 

[The Celt]

Whoops, I see now where they say what it actually is...strains of bacteria.

I would like to try their azos, best to make my list now, who knows what next summer will be like

What I found interesting is that the Canadian food inspection agency has their stamp on it...

 

[The Celt]

And as such, they can charge you triple what someone else would

Holy shit dude. Those plants are monsters. It seems i have joined this grow at the right time.

I will be paying attention to your ladies cause im also doing an outdoor grow and i will do a complete read through your journal in a bit, just had to scdoll to the good part. LoL

 

[Kodiak420]

Hey @Hein
There is great people and information on @420 .
You've definitely joined the right form.

As for me there is a lot of firsts in this grow. I want to be at stage where during the grow season I do not have to do anything but water, and an occasional AACT, ok maybe a foliar feed too. These plants are doing some testing for next year, when I grow in 60/45 (current are 45g, and 35 for the autos) gallon fabric pots and 10 plants. Mostly for ratios of amendments, and deficiencies that pop up. I hoping to learn from it and apply it to next season.

As you can see I have a calcium deficiency, which as be attended to.

It seems i have joined this grow at the right time.

no time like the present time, bro.

 

[Hein]

I really like your approach to growing. I've grown organically before but never knew what it really meant. I just thought using Organic nutes was all it took until my mind was opened and i was taught new ways. Since then i changed my way of growing and AACT is a must for me every season.

I think we will get along well ...

 

[Kodiak420]

They look like Clover flowers
But I spot some trichomes starting to spill out.

So I'm really seriously considering grabbing a dozen 2x4s and marking a lean-to type of apparatus. And use some Poly for covering.
Why, you my ask, just to keep majority of the rain off.
Tomorrow is rain followed by thunderstorms finished with wind warnings..... F#$k

Keep your head down out there,

 

[The Celt]

@Kodiak420 what are you using for amendments in your soils?

 

[Kodiak420]

Think this is all of them @The Celt.

- Gaia Green Organic 4-4-4 All Purpose Fertilizer
- Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom
- Gaia Green Feather Meal 13-0-0
- Gaia Green Worm Casting
- Gaia Green Rock Dust Blend (Blend of Glacial, Basalt, Rock Phosphate, and Humates)
- Gaia Green Fish-bone Meal 6-18-0
- Gaia Green Kelp Meal 1-0-3
- Gaia Green Glacial Rock Dust
- Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade
- Gaia green oyster shell flour (a little late with this one)
- Gaia green alfa meal 3-0-2
- Gaia green fishbone meal 6-16-0
- Gaia green soluble seaweed extract 0-0-17 (also folair spray with this)

 

[The Celt]

Ah OK, that’s why I saw you mention a Ca def earlier on, you forgot to add it in until later, I understand now lol Organic soils rarely have def unless something was forgotten

 

[The Celt]

For some reason I was thinking you were building from scratch like I do

I get all my amendments from a feed mill lol bone meal, blood meal, alfalfa pellets, KNO3 (until I run out and then it will be replaced with organic sources of K) Epsom salt, hydrated lime, kelp meal, Myco, Azos, worm castings and whatever else I think of at the time lol

The Mycos, Azos I get from Xtreme Gardening, the Kelp meal from a garden store that carries it and the worm castings come from the worm bin I had going and forgot about lol

 

[Kodiak420]

building from scratch like I do

That's the plan eventually. First time totally organic, also in lockdown there was a lot of difficulty sourcing stuff at the beginning.
I have a fair amount sourced from some local feed\seed shops for next season. So there's that.
But you're right, and I will be next season hopefully unless we get nuked or covid 19 2.0...

Geez man, i thought we had it bad season time.

 

[Kodiak420]

Geez man, i thought we had it bad season time.

It has been shitty season for thunderstorms this year, tornadoes, torrential rains. Very unusual for us to that many storms.

I will need to start using fencing to secure the girls more.

 

[Hein]

Last season i used chicken wire to protect 1 plant. When the winds came she was quite firmly secured and wind only did minimal damage. The ones without protection took quite a beating.
