So my two plants that I am growing now are ric flair and skunk #1, the ric flair is my own breeding and a very enjoyable smoke,(this one is a cutting), the other plant is skunk #1 and is recovering from a few different problems, so another two weeks until she is ready. I fixed the problems of aphids and some leaf burn, as well as a PH fluctuation, fun times. Laughs. I will post more in a week.

I'm at the same place: SOIL for years. This last grow I tried living soil and I'm not sure it's worth it. BTW: Ric Flair is a great name for a strain.-
My comment was a response to Peter’s comment about wondering if the living soil he used was worth it.
In my case, I found a coupon online for NLS at 10% off with free shipping. I bought 10 lbs. because the cost was far less then the 5 lb. bag. Per instructions, 2.25 lbs NLS treats one of my 1.5 cu ft bags of plain organic potting soil.
So at the current price of $63 for 10 lbs.
$63 - 10% = $57 w/free shipping (packages have 10% off next purchase code)
$57 treats 4.45 bags ($14.25 per bag)
I treated 4 bags for my 4 plant grow in 7 gallon pots and have been using the .45 lb. for top feeding and compost tea per instructions. No other nutrients, accept seaweed extract for stress relief have been used.
They state you can reused the treated soil as your plain potting soil on next grows, saving even more money with not needing to buy new soil and just treating a portion for making more living soil.
This living soil is loaded with good stuff and is supposed to make all organic, fragrant, great tasting weed.
The idea behind super soil;

I tried something called "Just Natural" and I am not happy with it at all, I am going back to happy frog.Comment

When you hit the Ric Flair do you have to go WHHOOOOO!!! on the exhale? 😄Comment

Ric flair is kicking ass, while my skunk is on a slow recovery, I added some nutes to boost the soil and so far so good.Comment

as everyone can see there has been improvement, with limited space I can not veg the skunk #1 longer. I forgot to give my growing statistics as well, My tent is 4x4x7, two duct fans, 400 watt hps, fox farms happy frog soil, and I am using grow bags for pots, I flipped to 12/12 about 1 week and the stretch is going. The problem with my grow was the soil, I tried to cut corners with cheaper stuff, it caused massive problems and I switched back to happy frog, lesson learned.Comment

found out the skunk #1 was a male, pissed me off, atleast my ric flair is in its second week of flowering and doing well.Comment
-
so to give some perspective, this is a cutting and not from seed. So it is three weeks old, very healthy and should in theory go through flower quicker than it's mother which was from seed. I have taken a cutting and shall make several others so I can get feminized pollen so I can have seeds, in fact this plant was a happy accident from another time, I have long since mastered colloidal silver treatments and have thousands of seeds, this one was a rarity.Comment

so my girl is doing well at four weeks old...my pics are done during the dark cycle as they looked like shit during the light phase, as you can see Ric Flair is a frosty breed.

So I have little nitrogen deficiency that I am correcting right now with some regular grow nutes, otherwise my girl is healthy at five weeks and has shown some red pistils already. Ric Flair is a hungry plant and needs more nutes than most of my others. Going into week six is exciting, yet not week six yet, this is where I will see the buds grow substantially. I am using cal/mag 1 mL, Dyna grow bloom 2mL, and dynagor foliage pro 1mL.Comment

this strain has a nice pace of growth, the buds are swelling and it is only six weeks old!Comment

thank you both SoOrbudgal / Sudsnbuds, I really worked hard to keep this strain going, and I know it is a hungry strain that loves nutes. the first grow from seed did not go well, I tried a different soil that I should have amended and put perlite in, my mistake, I like the quick and easy, (fox farms happy frog), to doing it myself, the results are always nice, and thanks again I appreciate all that are watching.Last edited by Ace1973; 02-11-2021, 03:08 PM.

day 49 or week seven of flower phase, getting near the end for Indica dominant hybrid, at most I still have two weeks left as the pistils are starting to turn rusty red and curl in. I have been feeding dyno gro bloom 3 mL and 1 mL of cal/mag all my feedings up until last week, last watering, last time I used water and have stopped feeding as I want her to start turning soon. so for the next 10 to 14 days I am using only water. I have used soft ties to keep my branches from leaning.Comment

Love it great job Ace1973 those look great it's all going to happen soon, enjoy the fragrances

SoOrbudgal already getting a whiff now and it is making me pace with anticipation, it smells like pineapple and that strong pungent earthy smell with a little pine in the background.

Final entry, I harvested a little over two and a half ounces, my verdict is to start over again, even though the nodes were medium length, the buds were to small, the high was nice, yet not the orbit lifting effect I was looking for. Still a nice smoke and something I may yet cross with another strain. Thanks to al who viewed my post, I have started another grow, Tutankahmon by pyramid seeds, it is my favorite strain, I will yield double what I got from ric flair.Last edited by Ace1973; 03-04-2021, 02:42 PM.Comment
