Im in some facebook grow groups and a discord group for my fav breeder that does constant giveaways . If it was up to me there is 1 rule id Definitely like to see being reformed a bit but other thsn that this is probably the best place to hold an actual journal . I have 1 for each of my grows here .

Well first mistake . I knew i should of checked last night instead of waiting 2 full days . Almost all my beans sproted and was sitting at the bottom of shot glasses . Thats the 1 thing i do not like about the fliat tech is if you donf get to them and check twice a day then this happens … i waa going to salvage them but i think im just going to keep the 3 x 10gs that im happy about actuslly germinated , then the mad dogs i started yesterday. Then scrap the resf and start over since i have all half packs left . Kinda expensive little mistake but we cant win them all and be perfect all the time right ?

Ok well hopefully i got my mistakes out of the way . The 3x 10g’s out of 5 was thankfully not fully sprouted so those i did keep . Still have the other 2 on the burner just in case . Of course i kept the 3x mad dog i just started yesterday . Then there was 2 that barely looked to be started but i was kind of a little mad at myself and lost track exactly what it was so those are called " the question mark strain " till further notice . i decided to scrap the rest and start off fresh . So ill be more attentive and put in soil when they only have a 1/4th - 1/2 inch tail instead of waiting for 3/4 inch like i usually do to make sure that doesnt happen again

Ok were stocked up and ready to roll . I apologize in advance knowing most of you have your own techniques and recipes . Just disregard but im wahting to share my techniques, recipe , knowledge of what i learned and put together over the last few grows for any1 newer than i am and or any1 thats wants a pretty simple organic program .
Thats 3x banana runtz, 3x mad dog , 3x space buns , 3x trich beast ( solfire )
3x yikes , 3x lusty lady, 2x pop star ( exotic genetix)
3x 10g’s ( compound ) .
Then the 2x ? Im thinking/hoping is omfg by exotic but time will tell what they are . Total of 25 . Im thinking about dropping 1 more 3pk in place of the 2x banana runtz 1x pop star that didnt germ .
Imo both of these lines of organic amendments is top of the food chain. Either one by themselves will give spectacular results but i like mixing thsm both in with power si silica and great white mycorrhizae.
*always mix silica in first , then amendments, brew with aeromixer for 24 hours , during transplants and every 3-4 weeks adding in great white mycorrhizae, ph to 6.2-6.4 and feed. Simple as that . ( will be breaking it down more as we go ) . .
Is my all organic ph levelers , pest prevention and or solutions , and cleaners . Earth juice ph crystals is expensive but only takes a sprinkle and will outlast a many of typical ph liquid stuff . Lost coast plant therapy and food grade diatomaceous earth is your friend to use as a preventive measure or solution agaisnt fungus gnats, white flys, thrips, aphids, spider mites, mealy , scale , other soft bodied a$$holes , mold like botrytus aka bud rot , and powdery mildew . Plus diatomaceous earth has a natural silica in it to .
Everything is currebtly in 5x5 ac infinity with griwers choice roi-720 set at 25 percent for 18/6 schedule 45 min sunrise and sunset . Approx 200 ppfd for now and i keep hunidity dome on till sprouts break surface . Kept at 70 rh with 75 f lights on and 70 f lights off which is vpd of about .6 right in the middle of the .4-.8 recommended vpd range for seedling stage per dimlux vpd chart .
will be ramping up light , adding co2 , and light microbial nutrients in next week or so .
Oh yeah , for soil is about 55-60 percent seed starter mix by coast of maine and 40-45 percent sohum living soil . Premix wifh filtered water ph at 6.2 till you squeeze a handful and few drops leak out . Fill in halfway and i plaht my germinated seed in little root plugs . Fill in rest , water diwn real well then place approx. 1/4th inch of dry seed starter mix on top .

Mf’ers targeted us kids back in the early 70’s. There is no way in hell a 9 year old should be able to buy a pack of smokes with a note.
Also remember all the ads at 36" off the floor? The Kool cat, Joe camel, the Marlboro man etc…Greed is evil.

When I was 14 I would go the the bar (yes, THE bar, only one in the valley!) and get beer for my brother. I’d tell bartender my bro was too drunk, as long as I bought his brand, they were cool with giving a 14 year old a case!
I also remember notes for smokes, not that my family smoked. Things sure were different back in the mid-70’s!

Firsf little water and feed . 1tsp of power si silica , 1 tsp green amino , and 1 tsp natures brix per gallon . Will see how it goes but i have a couple really weak , long, stringy ones that im going to ditch so i just dropped a 3pk of turnt ( solfire) in place of those .
Added a little more seed starter to mound up strenthen and straighten thevrest out .
But my humidifier is not working right . Called ac infinity and hopefully are going to expedite my replacement . Theyre pretty good about standing behind their products .
Brought the lemon tree in after being sleeted and snowed on all night. Shes tough . Maybe i can plant her and let her stay outdoors next winter . Will find out if the one i did plant makes it this winter before i try that though
