Tommy's Organic No-till Goji OG/Mountain Temple/ Triangle Kush S1

[Tommy_McCain]

Mountain Temple Update.
This is the Big Leaf Pheno from the previous post. Huge leaves and built short and stocky. Smelled very citrus at first but now is almost a Cherry Sprite smell to it. Fruit/ berry and citrus.
Starting to get some frost to her. I know this girl will shine in a no till pot!

And with lights out!

Carbon filter is working overtime with Mountain Temple. I zip the tent open or and it is like getting smacked in the face by Mama Dank. It’s the unmistakable smell of strong cannabis growing.

Today I threw Europe 72 live by the Dead on vinyl. Put me in a great mood. This is my go to album to introduce people to the Grateful Dead.

Enjoy!!

Mountain Temple #9.
She is getting frosty and bulking up now. Drinking about 4 gallons from the Blumat a day.

I bought 2 packs of Black Triangle. Oh…and I did this! Lets toss some pollen!

[Shadey]

Drinking 4 gals a day, is there run off or is that all staying in the pot, my plants get less than a gallon every 3 days each. temps are 75-78 and RH about 55-60%.

Stunning looking plant man, very nice.

[Tommy_McCain]

I filled it yesterday morning (5 gal) and there was 1-2 gallons left today. Its in an 8 gallon fabric pot. I need to up my RH so that might be part of it. My humidifier/fogger broke on vacation. I’ve kept the blumat just slowly dripping constantly.

[Shadey]

I am thinking maybe I am not watering enough now lol My pots are 10 gals with about 2 inches of mulch on top, and sat in a garbage bag, which helps lower the evaporation.

[Stonedmason]

Looks fantastic Tommy. That is one thirsty lady

[Shadey]

How much water are you giving your plants Stoned?

[Stonedmason]

My plants are much smaller but nowhere near that much. Half a gallon give or take per pot every other day

[Tommy_McCain]

Depends on the strain and time of flower. They are in that point where you can really push them on water. I fill my trays almost every night. If my pots are dry on the bottom (I feel them with my hands) I fill the tray. Most of the time the trays are empty in the morning. Especially during that magical point in flower where the plants are bulking up.

Edit: just checked the RH…35% ouch…that might do it too!

[Tommy_McCain]

I bought these a few months ago for some of my smaller plants they work nice. Great price and supper thick.

Then the cheapest option for larger pots? Wreath storage containers. Here is a three pack for $40. Which means you get 6 x 24 in pot holders for $40 delivered. I can have an entire 10 gallon blumat reservoir runaway on me and they catch every drop! If you look after Christmas you can get them for less than $6 on clearance.

I may be the only dude at dollar general to get pumped up about the wreath holder sale! I bought 5…the lady was like “you have a lot of wreaths”. I was like…“uhh yeah…that’s it…I have 5 wreaths”.

Excellent lol, I have been looking for ages for something cheap, to sit my pots on, thats why I have garbage bags on them. My pots are 16 ins across the bottom so was looking for something around 18 -20 iches wide. Could not find anything I could utilize from the dollar store. I will have to peruse amazon I guess.

Edit $40 for one Bloem STT2400 Terra Saucer, Plant Tray 20" Black, like thats going to happen lol. It seems everything over 16 inches is sold singularly here for a lot of money.

Finishing up the Mountain Temple. Gave everything not in flower a good foliar of Cal Min. Going to cut some clones tomorrow. I’ll take some pictures. I got some new razors for grafting tomato plants. They are perfect for cloning…super thin and sharp.

I snap them in half like this. They work great for cleaning up a plant.

[Tommy_McCain]

Ok, I lied. LOL I thought about it today. I think I was high and filled my reservoir the day before…the day before. So around 3-4 gallons every 48 hours or so. She is still drinking close to 2 gallons a day. I filled it again today but she is slowing down.
That should put @Stonedmason at ease. Sorry to worry you guys.

[Shadey]

Didn’t worry me lol just surprised me, everyone does thing’s different, mine are probably on the dry side and with a garbage bag around the pot there is no run off or evaporation from the pots.

I use an exacto knife for clones my thumb nails for defoliation unless its a branch.

[Funkjunky]

That’s interesting about the kelp.
Heard somewhere that California growers won’t give kelp past 2nd weeks of flowering as effects taste so I’ve never used at that stage.
But you have obviously done this before so may reconsider?

[Tommy_McCain]

I have applied it up to week four of flower. I only use most of my amendments once, maybe twice for the whole cycle of plants. I gave that plant one watering during veg with Kelp/Alfalfa so I don’t think it will hurt. I care more about seed development…I have enough bud. Weed is like wine it pulls flavor from the soil.
I once used fish emulsion almost every other week for a whole grow. Everything was fine until the weed sat in a jar for about 3 or 4 months. Then it got a little fishy.
I read some information on how organic vineyards view things and learned that my soil is more than NPK. I have a routine now but more or less read the plants. I have a few pots I know need more. Every 20 gallon pot of soil has it’s own personality.

[PlantShepherd]

Great looking plants @Tommy_McCain! I also love the airlift… looks exactly like mine lol.

May I ask, what the Terpenado smells like? Was it really strong smelling?

[Tommy_McCain]

Persian spice, berries and stank. Like a smelly Persian belly dancer.

That Goji OG is finally cured 31 days. Time to fire up! Green Apple Jolly Rancher!
