Simple soil mix for vegies and outdoor weed to make 200 litres gd mix would be
2 bags of seasol promix
6 bags of cheap potting mix
5 litres of perlite
2 cups seamungus or rocket fuel pellets
4 cups off neem meal/pellets

Could prob do this 200 litres for $40
Obviously everyone has there own methods of madness but u can make tjis go even further just by adding more $4 bags of cheap soil

Sidenote : ive never in my life used blood n bone for anything

I'd go a bit heavier on perlite I'd be putting in about 50L

 

[OzCocoLoco]

Yeah but stir some up in a mug of hot water and you've got a delicious warming winter drink

Better than bonox ?

 

[dopeonarope]

What do you think bonox is?

 

[ruby fruit]

Blood and bone is not an ideal amendment,yeah it's got good N and Ca but you get more Ca from gypsum and N from alfalfa meal. If you consider how much shit like antibiotics most farmed animals are given any manures or blood and bone products from them are a bit dodgy

I've never been a fan of blood n bone ever...for your reasons and others

That's meant to say 50 litres per 150-200 litres of soil my bad

5 litres perlite should read 50..i go by 20-25% perlite in my soil mix

Liquid vegemite

I don't even touch vegemite anymore. Gone to MightyMite.

Unless she's got more growing in her. The buds seem to be a bit smaller than last time. Or is that just because there's so many more of them this time?

I estimate there's a good 2-3 weeks left before she's properly ready to harvest.

yep - all things being equal the plant will generally average its output across the number of tops. Theres still plenty of time to fill out a bit by the look of it if you keep the feed up

 

[Nugachino]

It's being fed. I was just unsure if they were going to get much bigger. As im still technically a new grower.

Getting a nice smell mate ?

Ive found revenged plants don't pull as much weight as a rule if they are of the same size. Your grandma looks bigger than last time??

Scrogs tend to have more uniform bud sizes due to the coals being at equal height. Not as impressive as a un topped xmas tree main cola but as a rule much more weight on the plant.

 

[Lucky Luke]

Lots of white pistils still..i recon u have at least 3 weeks, maybe more. Hard not knowing the strain as a guide.

Depends on the strain but I find the last 2 weeks is when the buds really stack on the weight

I think they are gonna be rock hard golf ball style at end...flowering seems to be going slow tho nugs or is it just me ?

24 hrs since I transplanted to hempy and its had a top dribble of quarter strength nutes. Noticing a tiny bit of droop from the transplant but nothing too bad so far.

@OzCocoLoco youve grown hempy buckets before - I keep the bottom rez topped up until the roots hit right? no half full rez or only top feed until it fills? It's full now and I chucked a PVC pipe down the side to aid in bottom feeding so watering to runoff to cycle the nutes is pretty simple.

Need new pH calibration fluid too. I'm ballpark OK but could be a point or 2 either way. havent calibrated in a while and the stuff I've got is mega old
