(Disclaimer: that bud was not optimal. The plant was ransacked with spider mites at one time. I did battle. I still got lots of buds like this. Screw spider mites. You can whip em if you pay attention.)
Anyway, I’m sure all you legends out there already have your own better system of training plants. Just wanted to share cause I’m high.
They were both way too young when I treated everything with an azidaractin spray down. I am still periodically using different omri sprays in veg to make sure i dont have a mite comeback. I think they were just put in soil the day i did it. They are actually improving in color everyday. I have some living soil i have mixed up in my garage, so they will finally get treated well soon.
That’s a Free Mystery clone. I also had that Alaskan Purple that I cloned a while ago and it turned out to be an auto so it started showing pistils real early. I finally upgraded it into about a gallon of living soil that i have coming to life in my garage.
I have a question, and I’m just not sure who to tag.
I have living soil in two tubs.
1/3 peat moss
1/3 vermiculite
1/3 compost/earthworm castings
Some organic fertilizer I cant remember its name but it was seaweed and kelp and fish and mycos.
Some blood meal
Some epsom salts
And one or two other things I cant remember right now.
It’s been watered. I have 6 or 7 clones and maybe a couple seeds that I will grow in this soil.
I’m going to rely mostly on compost, molasses, and seaweed brews for nutrition. I have never made compost tea. I plan to make about 3 gallons at a time in a 5 gallon bucket. I know that I will need an air pump and an air stone.
Does anyone have any idea what would be a good pump and stone to buy for this size brew?
You just needing aeration in the bucket, I have never done that but would think a good size air pump for a fish tank with a long stone would work. But hell what do I know, ,lol
The size is “large” and stay away from the long ones actually. They are a rip off they only bubble out the first 1/2" and a trickle or 2 outta the remaining stone. The large cylinder shaped ones is what ya want. Majority of the air pumps have dual outlets too so 2 stones & hose. I have 2 aquariums but i haven’t ventured into teas yet so that’s where I’m coming from.
Yes that’s an undergravel filter I believe your mentioning. They usually take up the length of the bottom & are more like a plastic tray plus they have supply & uplift tubes. If we are on the same page. Air stones usually aren’t buried as they would just agitate all the nasty fish shit/sediment.
(and I still got my legal limit flowering, and vegging. I have legal room for 4 more seedlings, so you know I will have some seeds sitting under moist soil this week.)
