Well, it’s F* the Boss Friday, so let’s catch up on some YouTube from this week.
I was a watching the Build-a-Soil video where Jeremy amends his no-till bed based on the soil test results. I highly recommend watching his video series if you are interested in growing in no-till, SIPS, or just an organic mix. In this video he mentioned the book The Ideal Soil by Michael Astera. I devoured that book, it was exactly what I needed in order to understand my soil analysis. It explained all the math from the Slownickle threads, listed the nutrient values of common organic nutrients, as well as explaining cation exchange and their proper ratios.
GrowMau5 is now with HLG and they did a very informative video on the Dude Grows Show. In the very beginning they talk about temperature and transpiration issues and LEDs, something @Mr.Sparkle has been preaching this for a while now.
The KIS podcast was about viruses in cannabis with Dr. Jack Munz. The main takeaway from the podcast is that most viruses cannot be identified visually. It requires a test, which 3 rivers Biotech provides for about $70 CAD.
Finally, no week is complete without the Living Soil Conversations on the Future Cannabis Project. This week Bart from Paonia Soil Co drops a lot of knowledge on soil balancing and compost making.
The no-till beds at day 62. They are pretty well done, I’m basically just waiting until I have some extra time (Monday/Tuesday) to start to harvest. I’ll probably hash most of it and just keep a few jars worth of the Green Crack for smoking.
The GFOG are back from their two day, two night vacation in the flower room. I should see pre-flowers within 7-10 days.
The I culled two GWK x JLo males in the last couple days. Off with his head! That leaves me with 22 plants in 8 cups.
Today’s shirt was another gift, origin unknown.
Finally, I didn’t forget about you all…
Free Seed Friday
The way this works is I will post up three packs of seeds. The first three people to comment “dibs” will win a pack. If you have won a pack in the previous four weeks, you are excluded from this giveaway.
This week up for grabs are three packs of Ghost Rose. These are feminized autoflowering plants that are a cross of Ghost Toof (Mephisto) and Sugar Black Rose (Delicious). DISCLAIMER These plants have been known to throw the odd male flower on the bottom nodes later in flower. They rarely amount to much, but occasionally a seed or two will be found. Be especially careful around other plants.
