Back in the day we used these “TALL ONE” TREE POTS" for clones outdoors in milk crates. The last time they were set up indoors with seed they were under salt water 10 days into veg thanks to hurricane Sandy. Since then most original containers were used for fig clones/ fruit seedlings but have always squirreled a bunch to run MJ again. I ordered a 50 pack of the amazon imitations not realizing they were inches smaller; still running with it. I will drop the $130 on 100 new 14" pots next year.The extra 2 inches makes a difference.
Going in them is non feminized Iron Cindy hybrids. Time to test out some pollen chucking. If a killer pheno is found during flower it will probably be re-vegged but for the most part this is just to test smoke the hybrids to see who I even want to move forward with.
Arguably; transplanting pints/ quarts after knowing sex would have been more practical. IMO starting in their final destination is worth the extra work because of the stress reduction and immediate resource availability.
I went to my local nursery and bought a few items on sale for this grow. The containers took 7 hours to fill with an addition 5 mins and 30 seconds each container to top off, wipe down, sow, and water in for an addition 10 hours.
25#s worm casing reduced but still 25$.
2 busted bales of promix half off 70$ for both
2 6# bags of organic fert 4-3-2 half off 10$ for both
Also used vermiculite/ mycorrhizae on hand.
The following is just my OCD. I dont think layering really does much more than a homogenous mixture but this is how it was done. The top of the list is the bottom of the container. (Scroll over products for links)
- Loose fill containers with pro-mix and pack down
-Water with 6.2 phd mix* of Fulvic acid, Nectar for the Gods Demeter’s destiny, Fox farms big bloom, Orca premium mycorrhizae ( 2 Oz twice) (0,0.5,0.7)
-tamp 1 inch hole down center with pvc pipe - sprinkle dry mycorrhizae and Jonathan Green love your soil
-fill core with worm casting/ verm, mycorrhizae (50/50)
-cover with pro mix
-.75-1 0z Organic fert added ( half inch layer) - covered with worm casings/ verm/ promix (80/5/15) (1"+)
-covered with promix
-covered with .5"-1" vermiculite
-watered in with above water mix*
-cover with worm casting pro mix verm(44/44/22) - Covered with promix.
Atm they are under 250 watt HPS. After sex is know they will get 400 watt HPS+ supplemental LED. Will flip 12/12 in 12 days. All strains need 12-14 weeks. Just in time to start my summer grow.
