Keffka reckons once its “taken” you can stop giving more, reuse old stuff even. All Myco vendors over spec the usage by loads.

He posted the below in one of my journals the other week - along with some other super interesting stuff. But these are his thoughts specifically on myco’s

Nick Hardy's Skunk Works #2 The Giant SIP Outdoor Soil: Thailand!

Try and skip the burning by acid (twice) and throwing on the floor. They add no value to successfully germinating seeds and getting them to grow Thank you for posting the results of the experiment! :thanks: it's growers like you who try different things and post the results that make us all...

To answer your question of do you feed with the soil your using. No, it looks like Purple Cow is water only. Everything was engineered into it. You may find a calcium/magnesium def in the future if you didn't make the trough of dolomite lime? I use 4 ml cal/mag into the rez every day for that as I didn't have a plan for the cal/mag issue in SIP. I also grow in LOS, SIP lately.

i ordered some malted barley heard the bas guys rave about it blended it up and sprinkled some on top the soil

The malted barley thing is a Clackamas Coot idea. You can read about his thoughts on it as well as other things organic Here.

What kind of space to the top of the tent do you have? Is one question? Generally the bottom third of a tent can be for veg and a flip from there should be an easy grow. There's the odd sativa style grower that can pop up but not often in my tents. That's the working to fill the tent answer.
You can let the go for a few more days or a week and flip at your whim if you want. The result will be a smaller plant and harvest. They look a little early to me right now. How many veg days?
I'm off to a wedding in a while if I don't see you until later that's why.

Day 45 above ground

she looks small trying to train her horizontally

 

[TequilaSIPr]

If i turn the acinfinity 400w light the long way

you think i can put this 1200w light in with it?

Also when doyou think i should put this net to use

thanks in advance im not really trying to rush her but another 10-20 days of veg and they say flowering time is 65 days seems like i wont be smokin till turkey day

 

[TequilaSIPr]

Well i added cal mag anyone familiar with this brand?!? Got it from the jungle opened so it was free

hopefully itll kick this baby in to overdrive

 

[NickHardy]

Kelp is a new one on me in Cal-Mag butnits standard 2-0-0 wirh added iron.

I buy off brand my nute range for cal mag because I use a lot in coco and its seems basically all the same. I pay $140 for 20L liquid jerry cans. (We use 400ml a day at the moment)

Deep dive, recently learned.

Iron needs to be chelated to be absorbed. Along with manganese and a few other bits so its reassuring to see chelated on the label.

Deeper
There are two ways of chelating, base salts and other. MC is “other” unlike nearly every brand. Bit better for the environment but unless you are huge commercial outdoor its not really a thing.

Shed is your guy for any more detail but hope that’s a pretty good summary!

Not sure if its bug damage damaged by me or my training i think i should start defol

 

[NickHardy]

I reckon something fell or caught on it. Looks like a physical bend down on the cut bit? Worth a visual check its not a bug but your setup looks too indoor clean to think bugs (though soil scares me with TransPestPlant opportunities!)

Day 48

Hey I think she likes it!(cal mag)

You can tell when they do. They have a big opening and grow fast! No I haven't seen that brand before.
Looking good!
