I am a newer grower, but long time gardener. I am taking Dr. E Ingham's living soils course.
As I am going to dip my toe into the commercial grow industry, I am learning as much as I can indoors before our big jump. I am interesting in any input you may have on microbial innoculants and fungal innoculants you may have tried and what the results were. Also, was the cost worth result? One area I am interested in is Fras . .
Also does anyone have any experience with using cover crops aside from just clover?? Other legumes, or flowers that changed your end product (good or bad).
I am doing 15 gal fabric pots and one 5 gal bucket. The big pots are not doing as well as the 5 gal homer bucket. I am suspecting due to the soil drying out too quickly.
The only actual issue I have had so far is on one plant that was "Scrogged" is it has shown Potassium Deficiency. All the other plants that were not "Scrogged" have not had any problems at all.
I am a novice hemp/canna grower but have a wealth of knowledge/info on growing plants in and out of doors so ask me any questions you may have as well. My current focus is on raising Brix levels Naturally as this is what keeps the plant from being consumed by insects. Also raising terp levels (for those who aren't aware this is a stress response).
I am planning on running some Auto-Fems in my next round.
FYI: 4'x4'x6' tent
Panthr X II 600w
No Syn nutes
Plant Varieties: 2 "Wife" (Industrial Hemp/Below .3% THC) Bag Seed
2 CB Dream (C K Seeds) Fem
1 Blue Haze (C K Seeds) Fem ((5 Gal Bucket)) also doing the best.
Just kicked over to flower 12/12 light cycle
Was running 18/6 during veg
When I was defoliating during veg the B.D. fans were sticky but not too fragrant.
With all that being said, I understand different strains react slightly differently, but fundamentals and basics are always going to be your foundation and that is the true area I am interested in expanding.
Jump in and give me any tips you may have!!
Thanks to all.
This is a flower on the that same (above) plant. Very strong if you keep em fed. I will get these guys done before they get cut. I didn't give up or use chems. I won't be smoking bugs, I'll be smokin' buds.
Keep after it
This was the plant that the mites started. the specs are the media the preditory mites comes in. If you look at the leaves you can see the damage/discoloration from the spider mites. I have been using cheap vodka and a q-tip to the underside of as many leaves as possible. I have been spending 30-45 minutes a day doing this!!! I have made a HUGE difference!!!
I increased my RH and added more air movement. All these actions have knocked them down. I do have another blend of preditors on the way to stabilize the enviro. The plant is still throwing massive triches. Same CB Dream. I am going to treat with corn tea tomorrow and have done a lacto treatment as well.
