EsRgood4u multiple grow journals thread

:crossed_fingers:bro. Iā€™m doing this run the easy way with as little input as I can give them. Unsure if I should run coco fully OR just use a decent organic compost. With compost I donā€™t have to adjust PH or even feed them for the first few weeks.
When they do eventually need feeding Iā€™ve got a big solid rock of Megacrop Iā€™m gonna soak in some warm water to help it desolve then fill a few old bottles up with for storage.

I would stick with the coco, amend with some organic compost and perlite. I use the same mix 1/3 each indoor or out. Hit it with dolomite lime powder 1/2 TBS per gallon

Iā€™ve done a coco/compost mix in the past but I ran into PH issues later into flower that had me running around in circles. Itā€™s either one or the other. Iā€™ve got a week or two to decide soā€¦

Thatā€™s why I top feed another bit of powdered dolomite lime around 2-3 weeks bloom Smart ditching the RWC for the auto pots Just run coco and perlite 70/30

Iā€™ve had some awesome results in my rdwc in the past but itā€™s more work than Id like keeping the environment stable. Iā€™m not one of these people that checks their plants constantly so a PH swing can often go unnoticed for several days.
Iā€™ll run coco but will also buy some dolomite lime to have around ā€œjust incaseā€.
Cheers for your input @ColeLennon.

I would chisel that mega crop rock so you can at least measure it. Iā€™m going to their A&B and Sweet Candy ditching foxfarm grow and big bloom I pull it out 60-70 grams at a time in a slider zip lock keeps the rest stable in the big bag

Iā€™ve got a milwaukee e.c meter thatā€™s never failed me yet mate. Iā€™ll just make an extra strong mix up with warm water then bottle it and use the meter to keep me in a safe range.
Iā€™m likely getting ahead of myself as the seeds arenā€™t above ground yet :upside_down_face:

I have been avoiding stardawg cause everyone grows it but im gonna be watching cause as you say it does sell well. Aint a bad price for the seeds :thinking: you grown these before?

Watch this space :v:

Give in to the dark side & use as much perlite as possible IMO. Yeah itā€™s a bit of a crutch :sweat_smile: but itā€™s pH neutral & plants love it. Itā€™s cheap, lightens them, isnā€™t too mean to the environment (silica isnā€™t peat)ā€¦ :man_shrugging:

Twins


My luck must be in as one of the stardawg seeds didnā€™t germinate. Managed to seperate the twins and put them in seperate pots.
Needless to say Iā€™ve put 2 lines on the euro lottery :crossed_fingers:

Tried the soba noodles spicy version? That is how far i have fallen with the ability to quarter fill my kettle :rofl:. I could use them as pots instead of buying new pots when i run out

Them up the right hand side are autos bro. I figure Iā€™d make use of the 18 hours of light while I veg the photos out. I think the stardawg are gonna be slow growers in veg. Iā€™m gonna leave them in the small pots as long as I can before transplanting them into 18l autopots.
After the shitty blueberry twist Ive got to make up for the lost yield :v:

Cheers @ColeLennon. If you scroll up my thread to a few years back you can see exactly what Iā€™m capable of when I set my mind to it. My problem is I canā€™t find the time to run the rdwc system properly and my plants suffer. Iā€™m back to my autopots now BUT with pots more than 2x the size I used to run so Iā€™m hoping this grow will be my most epic growing achievement yet.

You got epic grows on this thread brother. Donā€™t let the twisted strain get you down. :100:

Quick check on the seedlings. One of the stardawg is a tri leaf.
Another week or so and Iā€™ll be able to transplant them into the autopots.

They are moving now brother :100:

Slowly bro.
Iā€™m a bit unsure about the seedstock/breeder though if Iā€™m honest. One set of twins from a single seed and now a tri leaf from the same batch. :thinking:
Iā€™m hoping stability isnā€™t an issue later into the grow.
