WDM Living Soil Strawberry Gum Hybrid

[westmark]

I have a side by side grow. Started seeds in glass of tap water 24hrs. then paper towel 36 hrs, strawberry gum seed in peat pellet , jack herer seed in peat pellet. Seeds popped up in two days after two weeks transfered to five gallon fabric pots , strawberry gum in living soil only water from seed to harvest and next is jack herer on FF nutes, BB,GB ,TB and OS ,Beastie B and Cha C. in organic soils mix. Both have mars 300w leds , ventilation system with recir. fans. in 36"x24 tent. I am five weeks from seed as of today. Pics are today, hint living soil on right.

They look great tbh. And organic water only is the way to go, that’s how I grow myself.

In the future, you can shave quite a few days off your start if you just start the seeds in peat pellets.

ok i have been lazy on updates , been keeping the fox farm trio plus beastie bloom , open sesame and cha ching going in my jack herer in organic soil. Strawberry Gum in living soil is getting ph ed tap water with cal mag added usually 1 ml. per gallon as needed nothing else . Debating on defoliating now or not at all, air flow is good, temps steady, humidty ok ? Jack Herer is on left Strawberry Gum on right in pic.

Update on Jack Herer in organic soil w/ FF nutes using their schedule , all has been good .
Strawberry Gum hybrid in living soil using PHed tap water (not ideal but working well enough).
One negative on me is i wasnt sure or comfortable defoliating so not much done so will not get max yield sadly .Some yellowing from over watering and lacking mag. so adjusted watering and added 3-5ml cal mag as needed, corrected all. Some yellowing now at week 10 of flower now and few leaves dropping not bad i think. Come on harvest and curing.

Week12 started
Jack Herer in FF nutes looks good.
Strawberry Gum in living soil looks good .
Will start harvest next week, waiting on weight to compare as well as quality. So far i am leaning towards living soil grows from now on.
Boy what a ride so far.

Last of updates maybe, started the harvest today will complete later tonight. Day 72 of flower and we chopping. I am pleased with the soil grow both living soil and soil w/nutes. Will go all living soil on next grow. I will do more topping and defoliating for better yield as this was a learning run, thanks for all advice and helpful comments.
