Soilking and vero29

I figured I would start a journal for anyone interested.
I’ll start by saying these are all legal in the state I reside, Alaska, where we’re allowed 6 plants for each person living in the home, 3 flowering at one time per person as well. Given there’s 3 people living here we’re all good
So here’s what’s going on. I’ve started my plants in the greenhouse so I can save some money during veg and use the sun as much as I can to grow these. Not finishing them in greenhouse cause we have too many overcast days and the buds don’t develope. Tried it. Anyways, I’ve got a couple different strains going, all in soil kings Big Rootz soil. All the hype about this soil I figured I try it. They were doing great but I noticed they started getting yellow leaves and this has never happened before to me this early on. In fact it’s never happened until late flower for me. So I fed them some Organic fertilizer, Neptune’s harvest to be exact, along with worm casting tea. They started bouncing back fairly quickly after that. I just started transplanting them from 3 gal pots to 5 gallon pots and the roots look great. But for an all around water only soil, I’m not impressed with having to add nutes when their big thing is that it has everything in it from start to finish. Who knows though,maybe they were nute locked but I doubt it. I use rain catch water and it’s always in a sweet spot at 6.2-6.3.
So the plan from here is to veg for another month then give them a good bath will the garden hose, air dry them and then give them a bath of miteywash followed by another air drying and then Neem oil them before moving them indoors and putting them into flowering. I’ll give them the usually 24 hrs of dark and then the 12/12. I’ve done this in the past and never had mites or anything but with them being in the green house I like to play it safe. The lights im running, a G8LED900, which I actually like. It may not be as efficient as some of the newer LED, but it’s given me good results so whatever. Buds are always super dense and frosty. On the other side of the tent I’m running 6 vero29 on a 320meanwell driver I got from timber grow lights, 3500k.
This flowering should be a good test to see how theses vero29 actually perform for me as this will only be the second grow with them and the previous grow had issues. My electric bill is awesome but these don’t compare to my other grows with a 1000watt hps so I’m hopeful this next grow goes very well. I’ll be feeding them as needed with the neptunes harvest fish and seaweed fertilizer, and their flowering fertilizer along with worm casting tea and maybe some calmag. The strains growing are a new one from nirvana seeds called Twentyfour, a 20:1 cbd to thc ratio strain, blueberry, blue dream, cbd skunk haze, a strain I developed, a cross between incredible bulk and quirkle, and an unknown strain given to me from a friend OG something .
There might be another strain I’m forgetting though. Anyhow, here they are as of a couple days ago and the picture of the roots.

Before transplant and when yellowing started.

Meant to say the vero29 didn’t compare so far. And I’m
Hoping it’s because my plants had problems early on.

Looking good this morning. Just checked to see if they need some water but looks like they will make it another day. Just got done brewing some more WCT as well. I’ve lollipopped them and used some light LST techniques to spread some of these colas out, and topped all
Of them too. I use binder clips and
Attach them on the container which work perfect and Then I use small bungee cords to attach the branches to and hold them
Down where I want. I like to run 10-12 colas on each plant and really get the focus on just those colas and not have any larf bud on the bottoms. They look like palm trees now. I can see a little yellowing starting again so I’m going to add some more food with this worm casting tea and see if that helps. So far so good though for the most part. Should be putting them into flowe within the next three weeks or so. Might do a scrog I don’t know yet. It’s more difficult to do that when so many different strains are present .

Gave the girls some worm tea and also a foliage worm tea spraying. Looking good
