Okay gang, the time has come to start my next run. It’s a little early to call it my fall run but that’s what it will be.
I’ll be running Scarlet Grapes and Hot Cakes autos provided by our own @Going2fast.
I promised feedback on the seeds, so I’m going to try to create a bit of a journal. We’ll see how that goes, I’m not making any promises but I’d like to go from germination to smoke repot with at least some posts on each stage to show my approach to our craft.
I’ve got my Black Swallow Soil KIS Organics mix, re-amended with Black Swallow’s amendment pack, Purelife organic EWC, and some Perlite for aeration ‘cause that’s what I had. This will be my 6th run with this soil, so almost 3 years.
I try to keep things simple, I hope to just too dress once or twice in flower. My 7 gallon pots are the minimum size for water only “living soil”.Otherwise, good Canadian well water with Microbial Mass occasionally hand watered in. Usually my soil runs right about 6.7 or 6.8 according to my Bluelabs soil probe meter.
I’m using my usual Blumat watering system. The drip rings are new to me, usually I’ve just used the basic drippers or the drip tape when outside in 15g fabric pots. I figure the rings will be easier to move out of the way to top dress.
Some pics to start:
-A freshly cleaned tent ready to go.
-Germination in paper towel , no soak. at About 21c (70F) between two small saucers. About 48 hours for 3 seeds, 1 took another day. 100% germination, yes!
-Straight into final containers
-starting to break groun
-mixing soil approximately 8 weeks before planting to allow microbes time to break things down
