The Spice must grow. Blessed be the Little Maker!

Hello, the house.

just doing things. weekly update.

La Belle Damme, Banananaz is unhappy with me. Ran dry overnight and it was threatening an opera histerica this morning. So now she’s tied to the wall and hopefully rethinking her behaviour. Gallon of tap+gypsym added. I’ll make another rez for her tonight.

maybe she’s not digging the upskirt pics but I’m not stopping.

and now the Indoor colony! Closed dwellers.

Found this version of the µOctos:

Multi site µOctos…

multipass

So, the 2 Lavander jacks and the 3 Banannaz cuts that just sprouted roots went into halh gallon sleeves of HP promix with a scoop of Ocomocote over plain water on saturday and today they look happy.

Lav Jack in front. Jack Herer in the tall pot on the left (will move to the tent tonight likely). Banannaz clones in the back right.

Lavender Jacks will likely show sex withing the next week after their week of 12/12.

Banannaz clones

The idea is to keep the pOctos as mothers. I like the lavender jack and am curious about the banannaz. Need the room for another project.:zipper_mouth_face:

Jack Herer moved to the new digs.

Thats all.

How much is the outdoor plant drinking now?

1 Like

Over a gallon a day. it drained an 11-12 gall rez in 7 days. I’m worried about the humidity in the autumn. might have rot…

here’s a question: if I take the electric hedge trimmers to it and cut it back a bit then manhandle a trellis over it…bad idea?

Hello all.

Been a bit, so update to keep things in track.

Germinated 17 weeks ago and looking great! it’s going through ~11gall of nutrient water a week.
same formula per gallon: 15-5-15 - 2.75gr / gypsum/epsom 1gr each. indoor Jack Herer on same diet.

it’s a trunk, really.

However, after 17 weeks (lol) it is beginning to form flowers!

This will be interesting. likely finish late october early november…

Indoor crowd.

Multi-octos all have roots in water and seem happy.

Frankie’s Daughter is still underground.

Yessir, dead bug brew kills them dead. Good stuff.

I’m happy to report a successful Osmocote experiment. Mephistos 24 carat below was grown with plain water and a bit of mangling from the topping.

Not bad at all. Next time, I’m thinking of doing a few more.

oh, I dunno. I think your 8ft tall sativa was something else. thank you regardless sir. that one seed is still underground. a copy of the Necronomicon and jumper cables?

Well, I’d suggest some air movement 24/7, just to prevent pockets of higher humidity from forming in the canopy.
Sativas generally have a more open bud structure to help with that as well.

Great looking grow BTW :+1:

Cheers

Thank you @Gpaw , so a fan… I just bought a “intelligent” vent for the greenhouse ~ 20min ago, lol… install on the wall, activated from temp or humidity. I need to get off my lazy butt and install it. should be here in a week.

Hello OG, glad to see the start of another week.here’s hoping it’s a good one.

greenhouse beast.

I’m thankful of the ballast pavers. Did another 11 gallon rez yesterday and forgot to open the spigot. so this morning it was very dry and with light feet…lol. situation remedied.a gallon of tap water + gypsum this morning. then the nutrient feed slowly merging.

Flowers are forming in earnest.

Closet crowd.

right- -Bananaz clones are happy.

cup in front, Frankie’s daughter is still underground.

Jack Herer in the tent is nearing the flip. some lst and some occasional dry-off times. roots are populating the rez very well.

On other news, malawi style cob have a different flavour but the smoke is smooth and potent.

Im a fan of osmocote +. I add 1 tbsp per gallon of media to all my plants to go along with the normal feed schedule. Also have done many water only hempy buckets using osmocote + as the base ferilter mixed in with the perlite.

@OrganicallyChalenged , thanks! I’ve been using it with largesse in the garden and most everything loves it. I’m very happy with it. the Basil is some of the better basil I’ve had to day i.e.

So far I’ve only used it with water. So you use it in addition to other feed?

How do you calculate ratios in that case?


Time for an update:

Jack Herer fem. Week 2 of flower. Looks like it’ll be a one plant tent. its only a 3x3x with 300W (+ 24w far reds and 25w uv), but I’ve no idea what to expect. hopefully a shitton of jack herer weed…

Kinda happy I got the flip timing right on this iteration. I’m fairly confident it will not hit the roof…

if the last 2 are any indicators, 80 days flower then cut. November 15th is looking good

Closet crowd. Osmocote crowd.

looks like the Lavender jack and Jack Herer cuts are taking. Here’s hoping

Bananaz plant. I think it will hit the roof. :joy:

I thought i saw suspicious spots on leaves. Jack’d Dead bug brew reappeared and the plant got drenched. Saturday, I drench it again.

both tent and greenhouse plants on the same feed per gallon of 3gr- 15/5/15 + 1gr each of gypsum & epsom.

I’m scrapping the barrel on personal stock. I gave away most of the last plants. I’ll need to start something next. I’m thinking something BOG or maybe give Sureshot another shot, lol.

ite, missa est.

I just use normal application rate. Have used jacks and i currently use urban garden liquid ferts. For example im currently running a all perlite hempy bucket 1 tbsp of osmocote per gallon of media mixed in. Every other watering i use Jack powdered fert (20/20/20 for veg and 10/30/20 for flower) at 1/2 tsp per gallon rate.
I have some smart pots with promix and osmocote and i use urban farms liquid nutes at full strength with those. Again every other watering. I use recharge and plain water between feedings.

I will say i do not use osmocote in my octopots since i feed every watering.
