Just wanted to thank @ReikoX and @Mr.Sparkle for talking me into making my own through reading there threads. I was just going to buy some but I have used more than I thought and it really is so easy to make. Buying a tiny spray bottle online would have been a real waste.
Just got back in town so I figured I’d do an update. First the photos. I did pollinate a branch of each with some pollen I was gifted from @cannabissequoia
The one on the left is an amnesia auto freebie and is severely stunted. The middle is dark devil and is doing just “OK” . Finally the one on the right is red poison and I just can’t get it to green up.
I don’t think they liked the straight Coco and I probably over watered in the beginning. I let it dry out and it’s growing but still no color.
I’ve just been giving them the maxibloom and calmag. Probably need more nitrogen.
The other auto’s are funny. Not much change in the freebie amnesia auto on the left. The dark devil in the middle is still doing “OK”. The red poison on the right is putting on good growth but still no change in color.
So for the first time in my life the flower chamber is moving along faster than I’d like. These buds haven’t really fattened up yet. I knew I vegged them to long and they kind of got away from me. It’s not over yet but it’s getting close.
That’s encouraging @ReikoX! I hope that’s the case.
Looking at the calendar and it’s week 8 already. A lot of pistils have turned brown and receded, calyxes Are swollen. Trichomes are turning cloudy. I have a lot of buds but no big buds.
They just aren’t packing on the weight. I think its time to stop feeding but it’s just sooner than I’d like. I’m hoping for one more push before harvest.
So I’m doing a little experiment. I am very thankful to have been gifted some seeds from a friend here on OG @Mr.Sparkle. Unfortunately it looked like my mail man smashed them in the car door and ran over them a couple times. Most are in pieces, some look ok, and some are complete but cracked. I don’t want these beauties to go to waste so I figured the time to try these iffy ones is now.
Stuff happens and I want to thank you so much for sending them @Mr.Sparkle. I don’t want your awesome gift and efforts to be wasted. And I’m curious what will happen.
I’ve been preparing some soil for these auto’s and for outdoor this year. I based my recipe off of @ReikoX simple recipe and added some azomite and earthworm castings at @Tinytuttle recommendation. I got my additions in the mail today so I thought I’d mix them in. Only problem is it went from the 70’s down to the 30’s here today so I’m trusting you guys, don’t tell me wife I mixed it up in the living room.
It filled up 3 trash cans! I’m assuming I need to let it sit for 2-4 weeks before using? Also planning on using this mix for general potted plants and veggies unless you all think it would be to hot.
Thanks for the recommendation on the basalt @DiggySoze and @Shadey in the living soil thread. I didn’t see before I ordered the azomite.
Ohhh shit! That’s funny as hell first words out of my mouth WTF! I thought I was taking a risk doing it in my garage! Lol with this mix and the blood meal in it I’d let it rest for a week or two had that been left out I’d plant directly into it but looks good to me not that 5 cups of blood seems a lot for a 1/3 of a yard but play it in the safe side
