Hey Folks
This will be my 3 Rd grow, and first grow journal. My first 2 trys at growing didn't turn out to well. Due to lack of equipment and knowledge.
After some time saving, I'm now ready to go again, and this time hopefully the final results will be very different than my previous attempts. Personally I've got my own allotment, and have seen the benifits of growing organically with living soils. After a lot of research I've seen many people grow cannabis with he same methods, and am really hoping I can achieve the same results. Here are the details, please inform me if I've left anything out in my description. Wanna learn to make a good journal.
Grow space : 120x120x120 (budget tent, most my budget went on light)
Light : Mars fce 6500
Soil : light soil base mix (amendments to be added)
Amendments :living soil (UK based company)
Strains : Kush&cookies THC 20% CBD 12%
GSC : is the cali line with THC 24%
Fan : 10 inch Ram fan for air movement.
Carbon filter : Rhino, it only has 2 speed functionality, which I Hate. I'm getting the AC infinity in few weeks.
Dehumidifier :
Is from HIfi towers, its 3.5lt, been waiting 3 weeks for it to arrive.
A little breakdown of the Amendments I'm using. I'm using several of thier living amendments.
"Grow"
consists of 18 different species of mycro rizal fungi , it also contains volcanic rock dust which contain 2/3 of all known non synthetic materials known to man. Also included in "Grow" is incest frass, blood meal, alfalfa meal and also EMI infused bokashi bran (it's said this will incourge further microbial life.
Worm Casting :
This will be added to the soil mix as an overall soil booster. As well as being loaded with macro nutrients, it will also add a lot of vital trace elements to the mix. Am sure all organic growing will agree worm casting are awesome.
Barley
This was recommended to me by several organic growing as a must for any living soil mix. It's said it will add a healthy balance phosphatase, chitinse, ur ease, protease, amylese. It's said that these enzymes will help microbs break down matter into nutrients. ( how fascinating is the soil web web)
Mycoboost :
Is a blend of mycorrhizal fungi beneficial plant bacteria.
It contains humic, fulvic ammino acids and natural growth stimulants. Very highly recommended. Can be used as top dressing for veg and flower.
Neem :
I'm adding Neem meal to mix because lately I've read a lot about its advantages. It will act as a natural pest control. This Neem meal has over 100 active bio ingredients, and has been proven to work against a wide range of nematodes and other soil pests.
Seaweed dust:
Adding seaweed dust to the mix will have many benefits. It will help with water retention, stimulates soil bacteria, it will also help to build healther root systems, while also increasing soil structure.
Volcanic Rock Dust :
The organic rock dust I've chosen contain 44% silica, which is vital in helping plants recover after stress.
It will also help to build bigger and stronger root systems.
So that's a breif breakdown of the amendments I'm using folks. Trying to keep it simple, and just following the suggested amounts be added to the soil mix. These will also be used as top dressings as the grow go's on. I plan on doing out a chart and writing down what I'm feeding and when I'm feeding it. Any comments or suggestions about the amendments is much welcomed. I've mixed up enough for 6gallons, for 2 x 3g pots. Have it cooking now over a week.
Story so far
I placed 2 seeds into cup of water 15 days ago. The Kush&cookies split very quickly, and the other GSC didn't split at all.. Should of done few to be sure ( first mistake lol)
I put another GSC into cup of water and it split few days later. Much to my annonice though this has now caused a growth gap in the 2 plants. And considering the Kush&cookies has about 10days longer flowering time than GSC, argghh!! I absolutely hate the idea of staggered harvests.
I'm growing this and sleeping in my bedroom, not a lot of space for extra drying, gonna need my tent for that.. Im actually thinking of scrapping the GSC and just focusing on doing one big plant of kush and cookies. The again on the flip side, it wud be nice to have another strain to smoke.. Yikes, am really on what I should do.. Any thoughts?
BBecause I don't have that humidifier just yet the rh is all over the shop in First 2 weeks. Readings of lows to 35, and at nte shooting ton78.. Definitely no good. So done a little research for trouble shoots to get me by until humidifier arrives. To boost humidity during day, I added wet towels, which actually works quite well. Am able to hold it steady during the day between 50-60 RH, but at nte it rockets ton70s.. So. Out come the towels at nte. It's no good this way I know, hopefully humidifier should be here this week.
Not really much to look at at the moment folks but here is some pictures.
