Hey guys, self proclaimed old schooler here. Ive been on this site since 2009 but since forgot my login details! and after a fairly lengthy break of growing and posting, im back doing both!!! i have two 4x4ft tents. one has a 660w strip led which ill be running organic soil in. the other tent has a 300w cob led which il run a semi automated coco grow in. this thread will mainly focus on the organic grow. this is only my 2nd grow since my big break so last grew i ran a pheno hunt with a handful of strains. the one that came out on top in my eyes was the Bc fireweed. il put in some photos of how it turned out last grow. Its a very stout stocky compact plant. the bud smells like slightly sour grapey lime syrup/ candy. should be a good yeilder per square foot because of how dense it is. im hoping to grow a lb per tent with this stuff one day maybe? thats the goal anyway. so ive got 12 x bc fireweeds in 2L containers. they had a tough life in coco setup where i overwaterd and fucked them up a bit. theyv been in soil for around a week and are looking waaaaay better and slowly recovering. Ive also got these clones which ive never ran before: 1x durban poison 1x grand daddy purp clone 1x sex pot (g13 x hashplant) 3 x strawberry hindu kush i always dreamed as a kid of growing durban and gdp so far the durban is very vigirous. ive also got 6 strawberry hindu kush in coco which will eventually go into the other tent once things start filling out. the plants are in a bit of a custom organic mix at the moment. nothing too flash. im in the works of sourcing amendments for the new soil mix. i hope to get it made up within 7 days from now to allow some time for it to cook before re potting the girls. heres a breif summary of the mix premium seed raising mix ewc/compost mix coco coir perlite fine pumice neem granules oyster powder kelp meal crab meal guano organic fert pellets rock powder crab meal is proving very hard to find in my country so im going to take my crab pots in 2 nights, catch some crabs, deshell them and seperate all the meat from the shell, as ive just read to keep the meat out of the soil as it will rott and stink bad. There will be a bit of work in this, but i will make it work! il put up pics of the process. looking foward to this grow and future ones!
heres a throwback to my last grow which would have been 4 - 5 years ago. this grow was hammered by spider mites and didnt look as good as my other grows but still not too bad. hoping to do even better this time around here we have pineapple chunk, og kush and 707 headband
So i took my crab pot to the beach and used chicken carcasses as bait. fished for about an hour and got roughly 55 crabs. i cut the top shells off the crabs, slowly dried them under an oven then crushed them up into dust with a motar and pestle. i never thought catching crabs would have anything to do with growing pot! its all ready to go in the soil mix
I trained and defold the 12 bcs last night then fed them water, worm juice, silica and some humic acid. heres how theyr looking today
