Just feels right. Looked them up and read a little, Seems old school
and easy so I ordered and there on the way..lol

Home made tea(not sure if its a Bad or good idea ? )

Brewing till tomorrow and I will see if
I want to use or just wait
for Age old to come in the mail.


Home made tea brew--Soaking 48 hours

3 gallon water container
4 1/2 TBSP Guano 1-10-1
1 tbs M.O.A.B
2 1/2 tsp Hydroplex Bloom maximizer
1/4 cup Molasses
2 1/2 tsp Epsom salt
4 1/2 TBSP Blood meal- For nitro def -
2 tsp Mycorrhizae

Added a air pump with bubbler and figure 48 to 72 hours I will
put into 1 gallon jugs and use to feed the ladys.
I could dillute by half per gallon.

I did put some thought into the mix Yet dont really know
if it will help or kill.
I look at my ladys and this is what they say they want.
To me at least.

Please feel free to be honest and if you care to share why I should not do a mix like this. I would appreciate the input.




The Room :





I have a 6'X7' space with barn door access( 2 doors ).

Used foam walls( Comes in large sheets at home depot )to build the room inside a empty bedroom.
Closed environment vented out through the homes Central heating vents.
I run my lights at night and figure the cool air will still make it into the room.


Room Temps:

Lights on -74 to 79
Lights off -64 to 68


Pests - None Known

Problems:
Scrog # 1 has yellow leaves, I'm thinking over watering.


I drilled a lot of holes in container for better drainage and dug a 1 inch hole 3\4 the way down dirt and filled with perlite
to help with aeration and help dry out faster & add some (Mycorrhizal Beneficial Fungi) for root growth.

Little GK freak is 9 weeks old and still 2" tall.
No roots when placed into test container a couple weeks ago.
Showing a little growth since. Freaky...lol



1 Grape Krush-cut today on day 80.( using for BHO )-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Thought.
For my first try at growing I'm happy so far.
I am learning what I need to know little by little and feel I have dodged bullets thanks to all
the fellow growers . The DIY,journals and incites people have shared are
a time saver for sure.
The fact that you can start out and save journals over the years (look back and go through the different grows)should prove to be worth the time it takes type all this chit.

So far I have a long way to go to get this first 2 waves done and smoked and I don't count Chic's before they hatch.
What I have seen,experienced,created and the Pic's
I have are worth the effort so far and this is just the beginning for me so
I think I will chill here and go check the Lady's...

Its a start.... Thanks for looking in and feel free to post comments,idea's and such in this journal.
:Namaste:

Thankz bro I have been having a great time with this grow.

Scrog is a great way to increase your yields, same with training.
This is my 1st try at growing and I wanted to try as many different ways as I could
so I can choose a style that works for me and get to creating the dankest nugs i can.
I was using all cfl which worked yet take forever to finish.
The hps should help me speed things up and make a huge difference for the scrog.

Trying to save a lady in SCROG-5-8-12

There is one lady ready to die and another showing stress. the other 3 look fin and healthy.

To try and fix. I took the top 2" top feed layer of soil back off and dug the top of the soil
up a little to airate.

Leaving it open to air for a day then I will put 2" of just perlite with a little soil.
I will water tomorrow a little then feed a few days after that.

Grape Krush 3 Root Report 5-10-12

Day 80

Stem cut:


Healthy,Well formed.

I thinking due to the high moss content and lack of micro nutrients and poorly vented 5 gal bucket.
Same as before. There was no root groth beyond 6".


This was my 2-3nd try at soil set up and seems to have gotten worse at letting go of the water.

Higher perlite % didn't help and I'm convinced it is the moss that is killing me here.


Over all :
I waited a couple extra days to check the root because even though I have not water for a
week almost 2 weeks. It is still heavy.

Sure enough as I look at the roots. There is almost none deeper than 6" and what there is
looks weakly formed.

The bottom layer looks to have been wet since day 1, Almost a slime type feel to it.
No smell or anything,Yet I'm surprised I don't have root rot.
Guess no root- No rot--lol



From what I know of Grape Krush this is probably close to the worse kind of
soil mix I could have given her. ops...

Now I can see why she looked good and then almost over night
looked like I left her in a hot oven for a day.

She wanted to take off and ran into the wet soil, she could go no further.
From what I have read on GK.
If she is over watered. Her leaves will wither like crazy. I can at least to this...lol

I cut her a little early because she was hard to look at...lol
The real reason was she looked like she wanted to grow yet just couldn't
and I started worrying about bud rot or a becoming a good place to feed bugs.

Over all:

Makes me want a lot more control over watering and feedings.
I need to play with coco in my next grow.
Though I really like organics and feel this is my way to go I still have
a lot to learn about drainage and so much more...lol


Im hoping She will make good Honey oil...

Side note:
Even though I have to shut down after this grow for a few months.
I have a few different soil mixes and some test pots set up for
strawberry's, red wheat and some things I can grow outside over the summer.

I have had a Bonsai tree collection for years and have great soil ( by luck )
In my plants. I have been breaking up soil and collecting fat, I mean really fat earth worms
from my other trees and collecting them in the strawberry 30 gal container for the summer.
Should make for worm casting for my next try. maybe...lol
:peace:
Either way these strawberry's are going to be monsters...lol <-- Off topic--ops--
 
GK-3 dry weight 11.3 g 5-9-12

GK-3 dry weight 11.3 g 5-9-12

Into jars-ops, a jar... in a couple more days.
The nugs are dense and even though the yield is low I have a feeling after she cures she will
smoke good... Here's to hope...
