Im charging my USB microscope to check out the plants in the tent today.
I have had nothing but trouble with the afghani#1’s.first I burnt them with a heavy dose of insect frass and GG power bloom which wasn’t the end of the world,then it seemed like I either had a buildup in the soil or my ph was all outta whack. Now It looks like I’m starving her and she’s consuming all the leaves she has left,I think regardless the afghani needs to come down even if the trics aren’t where I want them at this point.
I can’t blame anyone but myself and just aim to learn from these mistakes.
So here’s the update day 64. The afghani look pretty rough but the trics don’t look that bad considering,id say it’s timber on these two
Day 65 I chopped down the afghani today earlier than I would have preferred but, it’s not the end of the world right?
I learned if your gonna chop out half a net you better make sure it’s still secured to the polls really well after because this is what I walked into afterwards today lol
So here’s the random seed from a herm problem last grow.
I didn’t pay attention what plant it came off so I just tossed it into my chives over the winter.
I’ve already posted about it somewhere else on OG but I figured I’m gonna let the little runt go and see if it even lasts the season.
Could possibly be papaya/Hindu or Papay/Northern lights.
Edit- we had some bad rain and hail the last few days and the killer Mandarin auto seeding from Urban Legends rotted out. It’s a bummer I was excited about that one!
But I started a Fighting Gorilla Auto from Urban Legends as a replacement
I made up a batch of tea for the yard and outdoor plants today with rainwater.
2.5-3 cups EWC mine and some store bought.
2.5-3 cups mushroom compost.
2 cups of my compost
Cup kelp meal
Cup+ alfalfa meal
1/8 cup fish fish hydrolysate powder
And a big glug of molasses from the 5 gallon pail
Hell yeah that stuff is gold! I couldn’t even imagine anyone throwing it out or wasting it somehow. Even when I brew small batch compost teas or SSTs for indoor, the stuff that’s leftover doesn’t go to waste.
I’ve just got a 2 outlet aquarium airpump going since earlier today.I’d like to grab one of those 1/4 inch diameter airpumps again soon.
I usually brew my compost teas 18-24 hours,depending on temperature and such.
I just harvest when it’s starts to get super foamy,it will foam up over the rim and I know it’s ready
Edit-
I generally water my teas down 50% with rainwater when I use them,especially if I’m using fish or animal powders
Fresh bud coming right up! I have to get my girls flowering by the end of the month to make sure they are cut and cured before I want to go to BC in Oct.
Feeling like crap again tonight so sat here and did a grow journal for the girls outside and off to bed now.
Thanks man this is my first crop outdoors, I hope it goes well. I’m already noticing I should have gone bigger than 7 gallon pots
Fem Sour diesel 7 gallon
I hear ya man I’m going to a cabin with my gf pretty soon and I’m already bugging people to feed my cats, I’m gonna have to boveda my weed I’ll have curing, I’m not bugging/asking or trusting people to burp my containers
This hobby gets in the way sometimes if you don’t plan out your runs accordingly
Drill a hole in a 5 gal pail at the bottom, put in an air line with stone. Drill a hole in top and throw in a check valve. Throw it on a timer. Problem solved. I actually need to make a ton of these for this years harvest coming…
I watched a video on YouTube of that I thought it looked like a really cool idea.they also had a one way valve up top going out so it doesn’t pressure up and kill the pump over time.
I have airline and a million check valves I literally have everything required to make those just need some better pails.
So you have done this with good success? I don’t like trying new things(especially off YouTube) unless it’s tried and true
