So ive decided to do a Quirkle grow in a SOG. I will transplant twice. From cups to one gallon containers for weeks 1-4 of veg. Then into 3 gallon containers for weeks 5-12 of flowering. Ill only be growing the plants till about ten inches in veg and total 20 in flower. Im looking to have 1 oz bud sticks! So ill begin by juts the base soil( Roots Organic) in one gallon containers for 4 week veg cycle. For flowering they will be in a 3 gallon container of roots organic soil amended with some air rocks, lava stone and high P bat guano. The fresh soil and high p bat guano should get me through till weeks 4-5 of flowering. So for the last month ill be feeding with teas every other week. ill be using 2/3 cup peruvian seabird guano, 2/3 cups jamaican high p bat guano, 2/3 cup worm castings to 5 gallons water. Ill let it bubble for two days then add 5 tsp liquid karma and blackstrap mollasses. Ill alternate one week of just water and one week of feeding with teas. Ill water about three times a week depending on moisture. I just wanted to know what you guys thought. Its pretty simple using a good base soil that already has a helluva lotta nutes that are all organic. Thanks guys!

StickeeGreens.... Sounds like a real decent plan. I'd only do one thing different. I'd drop the mixing strength on the guanos to 1/3 cup each. I say this, because Subcools strains tend to be light feeders - all except the " Bigfoot " strain - which is a nute monster.
.
Plus be advised - flowering guanos can push pH upwards quickly. Just something to keep an eye on. Not a problem if checked once a week. It's always better to underfeed than to overfeed. One is easy to correct, the other is not.
.
Hope this helps.....

Hi guys,OSG,I have to beg to differ,my 3D,JB are gobbling down the roughly 25% broken down horse poo used as a top dressing,absolutely no brown tips.This winter I'll make the Subby super soil just to keep up with them.My JB is still a small plant,albeit tipped twice and lst,twice as wide as tall.Hope it's a candystore.
Lastly,I don't fim,I feel it buggers the symetry,yep pedantic.

Ohso,


I thank you for the warning. I was unaware of the fact that Sub's strains fed that lightly. I'll definitely make a change. I understand what RIX is saying but then again different strain, different feeding method. Thanks fellas.

Hey Ohso quick question,

I have the standard ph up and down kit with the red liquid drop tester and the salts for up and down. Is this ok to put into my tea after i check the ph. My soil already has dolomite lime to help keep the ph around or below 7 but i prefer the 5.5-6.5 range. I always adjust the ph in the soil by watering with a ph a little lower or higher. But fortunately i have great water and have been able to adjust the ph by the nutes. But ive switched to some newer guanos that are cheaper but are much better quality and break down better (more earthy powder less processed rocky chunks) I just fear i might run into this problem. Now it will be a while before i use my teas so i'll be fine. Now i just ph balance the water and use it cause the soil has enough nutes. I'm just not sure if those ph up and down salts are okay for a tea. I down want my little micro beastie homies getting killed. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Peace,
