~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ==> Comments From Other "Living Soil/Super Soil" Growers Are Always Welcome <== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION I am very excited about this grow as it is the first time with a new setup. I have added a new light and am going to try a super soil grow for the first time. I have a Mephisto Genetics Double Grape between paper towels and waiting to sprout. The space is about 18 inches by 24 inches. The ceiling slopes down, so I don't have much room at the rear of the space. For medium I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog augmented with perlite. The bottom third contains 0.5 pounds autoflower blend of a "super soil" additive from Nature's Living Soil. (https://amzn.to/2PUHc6k) I am using three-gallon cloth pots. The light is a Horticulture Lighting Group 135W QB V2 R-Spec LED kit. NUTRIENTS Tap water pH’d to 6.5. pH lowered using 1.5 TBS unsulfured blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar. One-half TBS of vinegar lowered pH about 0.5 points. The medium was very dry. Slowly watered to allow the moisture to be equal throughout the soil ISSUES My while I have yet to put the seed in the dirt, I am concerned about temperatures. They are currently running at about 86F. I would like to get it down to about 80F. DAILY LOG DAY -2: STARTED SEED * Started seed in my traditional manner. Between paper towels soaked in 5% bleach solution, 0.25 tsp/0.5 Cup water. Temp 82F. DAY -1: ACTION *The smallest of tip has appeared. Will put in soil in a few hours. Day 0: SEED PLANTED. * Refrigerator filtered water. pH 6.5. 1 cup (250ml) added very carefully. * Covered with humidity dome. * Light from Soil: 32.5” * Temperature: 82F DAY 1: SPROUT The sprouted seed has shown itself above the soil. A nice Christmas morning surprise. Now I can start counting the days. * Watered with about 200ml of water at pH 6.5. Used apple cider vinegar to lower the tap water pH. * I was pleased to find that my tap water does not contain chloramine. I was reading bad things about chloramine and "living soil." It can kill beneficial microorganisms. All I did was ask my water company and they replied saying "we found no mention of chloramine use in the system:" Just what I wanted to hear. * After looking at other diaries using 250W LEDs, I moved my light down to 25 inches. DAY 2: NO WATER FOR YOU * No watering today. There is plenty of water in the soil and I want the roots to stretch and work. * Working on increasing the humidity and getting more control over the temperature. DAY 3: WATER PLANT, NOT POT. ADDED MYCORRHIZAE. * Following the GrowWeedEasy watering suggestions for Kind Soil * 500ml water at 6.5 pH, around the plant and not across the full 3-gallon bag. * The fan gently moves the seedling to keep it strong. * Had minor unexpected run-off. I hope to avoid that in the future. * Added 1/8 tsp Great White Mycorrhizae dissolved in 100 ml of 50 ml water/50 ml molasses mix. Did not pH as it is such a small amount of solution compares to the watering earlier today. DAY 4: NO WATER, NO PICTURE * Nothing really new. So no reason for a picture. * The soil is dry on top, but the bottom of the pot is still damp. So I will watch it, but I don't expect to water today. * Adding a small intake fan has dropped the temps to about 82F, I think they can live with that. * A humidifier arrives tomorrow and I think that will be my last step to improve the environment. DAY 5: 500ml WATER, LOOKING GOOD * The plant is looking good. The second set of true leaves has a bend, but nothing to worry about. DAY 6: 500ml WATER. NEW HUMIDIFIER * It wasn't really necessary to water today, but I did simply to stay on the schedule I am using. * Given the lightness of the soil and the moving air, I don't anticipate any problems. * Added a humidifier yesterday evening. It's bringing the humidity up, but I need to keep the space closed and I'm a bit concerned about having to provide it with distilled water frequently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEEK ONE IN REVIEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Watered with 750 ml pH's tap water. Watered slowly to avoid any runoff. * The plant is looking very healthy. It looks as if the roots are really starting to work as the plant is darker green. * Balancing temperature and humidity is tricky, but I think I will be able to get it stabilized with a bit more work. * Target Relative Humidity: Seedlings - 65-70; Vegging - 40-70; Flowering - 40-50 ==> Beginning Next Week I Will Only Post Twice A Week, Mid-week And End Of The Week. <==

Moving plants around as it's cleaning week getting everything nice and clean the plants are happy enjoying the natural sunlight going to remove any dead leaves and lower shots topp a couple

Really happy with the yeild on this strain with getting 545g of 4 beautiful plants Happy Growing 😁😁😁

She looks beautiful, she's a beautiful autoflowering plant, very sweet aroma just like perfume. Love her, she's 100% healthy and producing very tasty flowers. Let's see how she keeps developing

✂️ Harvest – Flowering Week 12 | Day 78 (17 weeks total) Strawberry AK – Harvest Summary Harvest took place today, marking 17 weeks from germination. ⚖️ Wet Weight Strawberry AK: 1240 g 🌿 Final Impression The Strawberry AK delivered a strong final result. Buds appear dense, well-formed, and heavily frosted, with an overall solid finish to the run. 🧠 Post-Harvest The plant is now hanging to dry, and final results will be determined after trimming and dry weight assessment. Overall, a long run, but a successful outcome. 💪🌿

Day 35: Another week passes for these ladies who have been stacking up the buds and turning some nice pistils out to add to their bulk and appearance. FFT#1 Has kept her small stature status but has some very nice smelling sweet buds to play with . I have been under watering these girls I think so have upped their moisture levels a little. They have responded fairly well and look a little more perky for it. FFT#5 is continuing to impress and putting out some beautiful fat looking colas full of oil when gently squeezed. She is a thirsty girl and absorbs so much of the water very quickly. Her base and stems are very thick and hardy now so she still has a lot of load bearing to do hopefully . FFT#7 Is still out there in front for overall production of buds and mains. Her base is a huge wedge of green and would support my weight I think. lol Another of the hungry girls that drinks everything i throw at her. All of the FFT testers are so impressive here on GD . I look forward to the harvest which I think will be around day 50 , so not long to go before I can begin to guess who we have in the house ?????. have fun Growmies. Be safe Let's see what fun the we can have next week with bud swell approaching.

🌱✨ Super Sativa Seed Club Germination Report! ✨🌱 Hey fellow green thumbs! 🌿 Today, we're diving into the exciting world of germination with our latest run from Super Sativa Seed Club. Buckle up, because it's going to be a fun and informative ride! We started our germination journey with the trusty Cannakan method. This approach is a game-changer for seed enthusiasts looking for robust and quick germination. Here’s how it went down: Initial Soak: Our seeds (Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel) took a luxurious bath in water for about 30 hours. This soaking period is crucial as it wakes up the seeds and starts the germination process. 🌊🌱 Once our seeds had a good soak, we moved them to soil. This transition is where the magic really begins! The seeds were carefully placed into a rich, well-draining soil mix to ensure they had the best start possible. 🌟 Genetic Breakdown: 1. Auto Fast Pete: Lineage: This auto-flowering marvel comes from a lineage of speed demons, known for their rapid growth and resilience.

Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: Lineage: A powerhouse combination of Northern Lights and Dragon Fuel genetics, this strain is all about strength and vigor. Characteristics: Known for its impressive growth and high resin production, Auto Northern Dragon Fuel is a cultivator's dream. It has a slightly longer life cycle compared to Auto Fast Pete but rewards with larger yields. Flavor & Effects: A complex blend of earthy, pine, and fuel notes, it’s both intriguing and satisfying. The high is potent and relaxing, making it great for unwinding after a long day. 🌱🌿 What to Expect: Fast Growth: With Auto Fast Pete, you’ll see rapid development. It's like watching nature's express train! Resilient Plants: Both strains are known for their toughness. They handle stress well and are forgiving to minor cultivation errors. Impressive Yields: Expect a bountiful harvest from both strains. Auto Northern Dragon Fuel might take a bit longer, but the wait is worth it.

Grow is on cruise control plants are doing well. 4 of the 5 should flower out it 2 weeks but the fifth is only in week 2 of flower. Will just be watering plants for the remainder of the grow to flush out the last of the nutrients in the coco. Colas are starting to pack on some size and smell and look great. Mid week a few of the plants have started to turn purple and red and have added some color to the tent!

So the weather has finally cooled down and it has rained for the first time in weeks. The buds are all developing nicely and fattening up. The buds are ripening well and harvest time will be coming soon. The older leaves are starting to yellow and the first signs of senescence are showing as well. The plants are all sticky and smell very nice. Looking forward to the end result. Happy growing.

Final

Down to the final week or two. Can't wait to flush and harvest

Well my lovely ladies grew wonderfully it was my first grow with LED. Definitely a little learning curve still. I ended up with about 700 g out of eight plants not too bad for the size girl over my head. The smoke is amazing smooth with a henna citrus then knock you on your butt I did harvest plants at different time so I do have different outcomes some is a little more of the knock you down while others are a little more energetic. Great girl have lots to learn will continue to post in here love you guys.

Starting week 6 Tent is being slowly full A little bit too hot for the next days as the weather outside will climb to 36-38°C, I thnk I will bring them some CO2. I will check with the growshop. Any idea is welcome. The stretch is really impressive, 1 of them get 20cm in 7 days Waiting for the buds 😁 Day 39 I have now added CO2 with an organic boost, it is linked it to the fan. Should be a little bit better with that temperature

Started LST on both girls don’t think i did it right it begin with lol. This is when i noticed the burnt tips of the ladies. This was a scary moment for any new grower. Freakin suckedddd

Now this baby was a delight to grow and grew real big. I decided to leave this lady to do her own thing and she ended up finishing just short of 6ft! The main cola was huge and juicy and all round the end result was really nice and super strong just the way it should be.

2/20 - finally got all of the top spread out across the edge of the pot. Also defoliated all of the older fan leaves. I'm not sure if I need to take off the lower shoots that are starting around each top... 2/21 - flush feeding, tops are starting to point up except for one weakling which I took the binds off of to let her get her strength back 2/23 - things are looking great so far, the one top that was weak regained strength and is back to bindings. This is the cleanest training I've done so far I think! 2/25 - week 9 nute feeding, same as week 8 minus the Kelp and the normal amount of Terpinator. I will be taking off some shoots starting on each top.

The plant is ready to flower. I covered the soil with inputs and did a little defoliation. It is developing well.

Visto que el agua de base sale con unos valores muy altos he decido obtar por mezclar el agua de riego con agua destilada mitad/mitad. De esta forma le podré aportar mayor cantidad de nutrientes sin que los valores suban excesivamente. Por otro lado también le añadiré ácido cítrico para bajar el PH. Os presento como voy regando, es un inventillo que hace años hice y sigue dando guerra. Va muy bién para repartir el agua y relentiza el riego haciendo que el agua vaya filtrando mejor por el sustrato. El embudo lleva una malla donde se quedan los restos más grandes y así no se atasquen los abujeros. Alguno dirá que pierde agua pero no es así, el agua que cae fuera es por que no tube punteria al llenar el emudo y casi lo tiro todo fuera. No se puede hacer tres cosas a la vez, soy hombre hehehe. no podia rellenar el embudo, regar y filmar con el movil al mismo tiempo. Y a más el video está reducido a cámara rápida por lo que parece que pierda aun más rápido.
