Flight 4-101-420 ExquisiteTouch Gardens ( 4th indoor )

Ok . So where are approx 22 or so days in flower and just a couple days ago i just went through and finished the last of the major lollipopping and defoil for our grow . It most certsinly helped with humidity amd ultimately helped a bit with less heat due to less use of dehumidifier. :+1:

So im going to post a few of the updated photos followed by some other news . Mammoth room first




Which lights are cranked to 84 pervent and co2 is back on to about 900 ppm . Tonight ill be making a nice tea to brew and starting to add the bloom booster and flower finisher and a final nice great white mycorrhizae.

Next is the 5x5


Got the 450 vs4500 cranked to 100 percent and the 480 flexstar at 80 pervent . Last i checked was a noice 78 degrees and 55 rh . So i think ill be putting the flexstar at 100 percent in next couple or so days .

And the roi-720s room




Lights are at 90 percenf . About to go to 100 in next few days . Then i still have the 15 pervent boost mode ill slowly add next week . So far nice around 78-80 temps amd fairly balanced in check vpd . Lets keep our fingers crossed i can get at lesst the next 3-4 weeks of good hard blasting ppfd wothout to much heat in these rooms .

And for the new news . I got a buddy that has an empty 5x10 that i talked into letting me use so i can get 10+ week headstart on this years outdoor grow on . I already msde the menu selection , set up germinstion station, and dropped these puppies . As a matter fact its been about 36 hours so time to check now . They may be ready to go into soil now .
On menu is Falcon Heavy, Lazer Bomb, Blueberry Gary, and Space Juice! Some still real pretty but heavier yeilding strains. See if nature will grow us a couple nice little monsters this year . Will be going into 7 gallon pots and vegging in his 5x10 till june than im putting in 45-60+ gallon pots .

Ok this is for you brother .

So starting from beginning with my outdoor grow. I start in 4in pots . I did start using those little root cubes and i do like them but unfortunately i used all i had on clones so i had to do without starting thos grow .
I take how ever many plants i will be growing in this example 12 . So ill fill my 4 inch pot 6 times with coast of maine seed starter then 6 times with sohum living soil to mix in mixing bucket . Now unfortunately sohum isnt around any longer so after this last bag i think im going to replace it with giai green living soil just to start my plants in this mix with . But then i add another 2 4inch pot scoops of the seed starter mix just because seedlings are delicate right ?

Then for 12x 4 inch ill take 1 gallon filtered through hydrologic small boy .

And mix 1 teaspoon of power si silica ( mix first ! ) then add 1 teaspoon of the natures brix and 1 teaspoon to that 1 gallon . Nrither of these are anything really too hot but i feel are important in aiding in a good start of the soils and cells within the plant itself . Building block of life right ? At least so is my theory and what i gather from it anyway .

I always even being organic or living soil and ohhhh i know build a soil people eat your heart out but i always still ph my teas or whatever it is liquid going in or on my soil or plants to 6.2-6.4 !! Is if necessary? Not so much with good organics/living soil but it is to me cause i want my soil and plants to have the least resistance of best boost i csn give them .


Then mix with soil just enough so that when you squeeze its not a sloppy mess but you can get at least a couple/ few drops . ( happy meduim ) . Lightly place in pots while shaking to brsak loose inside pots and flaten atraught from the top with just a very slight pressure barely compacting soil .

Take end of tweezers put barely a little c@## haif hole in the middle where you will be placing tap root down till top of seed is like just under even with surrounding soil . Like a 16th or 2/16th below . Then take unmixed dry coast of maine seed starter to top it off and thats that .

Then from here will be straight filtered water ph at 6.2 after 4-7 days depending how quick it dries . Till aboit time of first tramsplant . Then you can go to the statt of this topic as im pretty sure i descibed that and adding great white mycorrhizae in the same detail . If not let me know but i think its pretty laid out .

Well this is 30 gallons . For this specific feed being in 3rd week of flower is my first feed introducing bloom booster and flower finisher. The package says start at week 4 but i always like starting early cause organics takes a minute to break down and be available.for uptake . Id rather it be already there for the plant to take what it wants rather than waiting for it .

This specific batch was 10 tablespoons of power si silica . ( always mix silica first! ) . Then i put approx 15 tablespoons of microbe charge ( roots organics ) . 6 tablespoons of natures brix ( greengro biologicals) . Then last feeding i used allot of the bloom from ( greengro biologicals) so this time i did like 15 tablespoons of bloom from ( roots organics ) . Or sometimes ill do like 7-8 of each from both lines . It just depends on how im feeling and whats left in the bag without opeing another etc . I also did about 6 tablespoons of green amino ( greengro biologicals) . Which will probably be my last time using it . You can use it all the way through but its most important in earlier stages , veg , then maybd atretch of flower . But ive been extremely heavy feeding probably doing more than twice as much as they can even need . Which is ok cause the soil is being recycled for my outdoor grows anyway so why not right ? Id rather it be there and it not need it then to need it and it not be there especially the way i blast my plants with the highest possible ppfd intensity i can . Lol .
Anyway then i added about 6-7 tablespoons of flower finisher ( greengro biologicals) and about 7 tablespoons of bloom booster ( roots organics ) .
Then topped off with 6 tablespoons of great white mycorrhizae which i apply every 3-4 weeks . Ph to 6.2 and feed .
Its a mix and match process so i can uhtilize the best of both worlds . They are both excellent lines and either 1 by itself will do great . But i cant figure out which 1 i like better . They both have points that id rather use mord of this durinh the esrlier stages or more of that during finishing stages . For example ill use mostly natures brix and green amino during earlier life than toeards the end use allot more of the roots organics line . For 1 the roots orgsbics is a touch more stronger and the flower finisher from greengro biologicals is more expensive but i still want that littld bit of flare from the ingredients they use that isnt in the bloom booster .

But now since i just confused the shit out of you with the roller coaster ride of twist , turns , and loops of exactly how i use it ill break it down to a more simplicity of basics of what im actually following .

*Natures brix= im basically doing a tablespoon per 5 gallon bucket. Which is pretty much what its instructions are .

  • Same thing with green amino is 1 tablespoon per 5 gallon.

( those are the basics or a teaspoon per gallon especially in earlier life )

  • veg/grow = this i probably do maybe 4-6 times during veg . Ill do roughly a dozen to 15 tablespoons maybe 4-6 times during my veg cycle . Instructions say 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per gallon . But with decent soil and 7 gallon pots thats more than needed ! Way more !

  • Bloom ( greengro biologicals) = the instructions for this is more of top dressing n such but when Chris Rozzio suggested he said a week before flip add 2 tablespoon to 5 gallon bucket then brew . Then in flower 1 tablespoon per 5 gallon which is pretty much what i follow . Throughout till last week or 2 of grow .

  • Bloom ( roots organics ) = instructions say 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per gallon of watef . Which i may do upwards of about 15 tablespoons max because 1) im feeding every single time i water . And 2) im also using the other bloom from greengro .

                  (  BOTH  )
    
  • bloom booster ( roots organics ) = Is 1 teaspoon per gallon .

  • flower finisher ( greengro biologicals ) = 1 teaspoon per gallon .
    ( so 30 gallons is 10 tablespoons in which ill do like 5 of each brand of in this specific case ill start with both then use mostly the roots organics bloom booster through most of my feedings but then around week 6 do another good dosage of the fliwer finisher before doing the last feeding or 2 with the roots organivs bloom boister agaij then stop . Water only

  • microbe charge ( roots organics ) . 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per gallon . Ill usually start using this towards emd of seedling going into veg stage . Because it has a little nitrigen compound to it . Again ill top out at 15 tablespoons per 30 gallon or aka 1.5 teaspoon per gallon cause all the other stuff im feeding . Ill stop this towards week 7 of flower to .

Power si silica . 1 teaspoon per gallon from start till as long as you can afford it cause that sh#t is f-ing expensive as freaking all hell ! Lol like this batch right here is probably my last using of power si silica . Through strech cause 150 dollar litre mixing 30 gallons goes quick ! Yeah actually i have about as much money in silica i used as it cost to buy all the bags of nutes that im going to have plenty left over nutes to fo my outfoor grow with to . Lol . So yeah as long as you can afford it . Or skip it to every other week or something lol .

  • great white mycorrhizae = this i use to make my transplant tea mix , sprinkle on roots and in hole of transplant , then only add it to teas every 3-4 weeks as instructed at half teaspoon per gallon . Or 6 tablespoons per 30 gallon .

So having laid all that out there this is what i am suggesting . You dont need near what im doing ! Id simply follow the 1 tablespoon per 5 gallon bucket 1 time a week for the natures brix and green amino . Drop the aminos right after flip to flower .

I would follow the 1 teaspoon per gallon once a week for the rest of it and then maybe once your cranking right before flip do a bice heavy 1 tablespoon per gallon preflip and after flip pk boosting then go back to the basics 1 tablespoon per 5 gallon bucket for natures brix 1-2 tablespoons per 5 gallon on the blooms then at week 3 the 1 teaspoon per gallon on the bloom boosters . That was the simple basic foubdation chris rizzio gave me that got me through my second grow which you remember how that came out right ? Came out fine!

But thats what i suggest least your plants actuslly show signs or you just want to go heavy once a month just for a piece of mind that its there . The way im doing it is wayyyy more than actually needed . Even at high intensity and co2 im still giving well more thsn needed . And again all this soil im using is going strsigjy to my backyard in 30-60+ gallon pots and growing everything from corn, pepppers, warermelon , sun flowers , a variety of other fliwers , veggies , fruits , and more cannabis perfectly fine with me only coming bsck to feed 1 time a month . So you should be more than fine with the little foubdation i suggested rather than how much im sctuslly using . :+1:

Hells bells , burning balls , and turkey sh$t! :turkey::poop: thats right i said turkey sh$t! :turkey::poop:. Big ole burning balls of turkey sh$t from hell at that ! Darnit i meant to come in and do an update at the halfway of flower check point and darn it if life doesnt have ways of showing us we are not always in charge ! :rofl:

So anyway i guess ill just have to catch up what i can . So we are now approx 2-3 weeks left of this grow . And ohhhh boyyy what a stupid move it was for me to not scrog my mammoth room ! Smh ! Ill never try that again ! Having to go in and tie strings to lights to hold up the buds and just what a wacky mess ! But we live and we learn right ? Good news is i still have some kickazz bud growing in there ! Got the add on uv sets connected and currently running at 25%. Heres a quicky of the mammoth room .


And in that room also happens to be what are so far my fav strains . Space buns first



AND the came up with such an appropriate name for this one . Trich beast ! And it is absolutely saturated in frost and trichs ! Leaves and all ! These stupid phone cameras dont do a lick of justice for any of these pictures but gotta use what wd gor right ?




Couple pictures of the 5x5 doing fine


Heres the roi-720s aka shorty room kicking well .


Im on the way now to pick up last set of add on uvs to complete these lighfs amd get uv going tonight .

Now i gotta say that this trail run im doing with these 3 from controversal copycat are actually doing pretty well . Just huge clunkers of buds on them ! Really demse though im hoping they start frosting up a bit more before harvesr . But so far im impressed snough im going to run a few full on next grow . Heres a few shots of those



Then heres a few more shots from that room



And lastly is the headstart for this years outdoor run . All of the beans germinsted fine . So we just have a few more than originally planned . 3x falcon heavy, 3x lazer bomb, 3x blueberry gary , and 6 space juice . They all grew out and i just transplanted them into their next temp homes . The 10 in 7 gallon im keeping and the 5 in 5 gallon im letting my buddy have for letting me use his tent . They sre looking real solid so far ! Just beautiful roots , thick stalks , and griwing fast n healthy in the 5x10 . :+1:





Yeeehawww . We almost home yall :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Well i do believe its time for harvest yall . The truch beast and lusty lady went a little longer than i wish but not to bad and i ideally wouldnt mind running the 10gs , banana runtz a tad bit longer but its within a window and just easier to harvesf all at once .
Alao hoping i can find a hand in taking some good pivtures of some bud but afraid i may have to do without this time . Byt heres how trichs are looking
