Today's show!!
I turned off the lights so I could swiffer the cool tubes and get some pictures. I really do not think my soil needs any kind of tea or added nutes what so evarrrr!!!
Every plant I have fed yellows a day or so after. The ones I give water only stay green the longest!
After reading Teaming with Microbes ( almost done) I believe the added nutes are causing issues in the soil. From my reading, live soil has everything a plant needs period!!! Just add water!!!
When we add nutes to the soil, the bugs in the soil stop doing what they are there for and the plant suffers resulting in the plant needing human help! Most times human help is overboard and the plant suffers even more. The soil never recovers in the short amount of time it takes to grow one of these plants.
I will be trying a No till bucket. From my reading I have learned that disturbing the soil kills the "live" things in the soil.
If you have not read Teaming with Microbes I will say this... Buy it, read it, you won't be sorry you did!!
This Holy Grail had 1 tsp fish emulsion added to a half gallon of water and is now fading at day 18. I believe the soil retains too much moisture also.
This unknown strain #2 got 1/2 tsp fish emulsion in 1/2 gallon of water and has started to fade already. today is day .5 of flower. It also holds too much moisture.
This XJ got 3/4 tsp fish emulsion in 4 cups of water and as you can see, it is fading fast at day 35
This XJ has had clear water only. today is day 32
This Unknown strain #1 has had clear water only and is at day 57 of veg. it has been in the flower room for 5 days and is crowning.
This Blue Magoo has had a top dressing on 1/26 of mushroom compost, enriched potting soil and a small amount of chicken manure. That burnt the tips right away but hasn't caused any other issue. It has had clear water only. Today is day 35.
