Organic Soil Grow - American Beauty

Donrodman3 By Day 5, all plants had emerged from soil. Very pleased! Temp: 18°c - 30°c. Hum: 40% - 55% Water ~30ml PH: 6.8 I made sure the area around the seed was consistently wet whilst the seeds were yet to emerge. Now that they have emerged I simply water when dry and spritz the top of soil. I do not water the whole pot all the way through. Just a small amount around the roots is perfect. Water just enough so that it dries within a day or 2. Keep a close eye on them. You have to at this stage. Simply check once every morning.

Donrodman3 All plants thriving! Temp: 23°c - 30°c Hum: 30% - 43% Water ~250ml (per plant) PH: 6.5 Excellent growth from all plants. The two at the back of the photo are American Beauty and already at this stage you can see they're slightly more sativa dominant. Cherry Pie's are closer to camera and are more stocky. (More indica leaning). American Beauty are fast growers! L.S.T will be necessary to keep the canopy even. I gave them the slightest of teas. Just EcoThrive's Biosys. It's an excellent product. Highly recommended. The temperatures and humidity were very hot and low so I wanted to give them a little boost.

Donrodman3 Transplanted to their final homes, 5 gallon fabric pots. Plant's height is 8cm - 13cm. Temp: 22°c - 29°c Hum: 30% - 45% Water ~ 1L each PH: 6.7 On day 16, I transplanted to 5 gallon fabric pots. I amended the Biobizz light mix soil with: *Per 5 Gallon Pot* EcoThrive Grow - 27g EcoThrive Bloom - 3g Ratio = 90/10 Now they're all drinking 1L a day. L.S.T: I topped the two American Beauties once each on Day 20 at the 5th node to allow the Cherry pies to catch up. 😁 Very pleased!

Donrodman3 Hi all! We're on track for a very big harvest! Temp: °20c - °27c Hum: 35% - 50% Water: ~1L per day PH: 6.6 The toppings were successful and did not shock the plants. All praying and growing rapidly. I've begun L.S.T and defoliation to not block prime bud sites. Starting pretty early because of American beauty's rapid growing genetics. Keeping canopy even and bushy. Have had no deficiencies at all. All plants continue to thrive. I'm always in favour of getting the big fan leaves off from the bottom sooner rather than later. They can handle it, so don't be shy. I'm simply watering when dry with 2 - 2.5 litres every other day. The microbes in the soil are doing their thing. 🕺🏻

Donrodman3 A compost tea this week! Recipe below. Well, isn't like magnificent! Here's the latest. Temp: 21°c - 27°c Hum: 40% - 55% Water ~ 2.5L PH: 6.1 - 6.6 On Day 29, I topped the American Beauty's for the second time. This will allow the Cherry Pie's to catch up for that even canopy. *Compost Tea Recipe 3gal (Brew 24hrs)* 3 cups worm castings 2 tblsp EcoThrive Re-Gen 2 tblsp EcoThrive Grow 1 Tblsp Mycorrhizae This is all placed into a large tea bag (I made mine by stitching together muslin cloth.) I brewed in 3gal of water for 24- 36 hours. And the plants loved it! Tea's are great for a boost. They're not completely necessary but if you want the best bud and the highest yields they're a must. What a difference they make! All plants thriving and in supreme health! See you next week.

Donrodman3 Another tea this week. 🍵 Temp: 23°c - 27°c Hum: 40% - 55% Water ~ 3L (each) PH: 6.3 - 6.8 The girls are looking splendid. I like to give them a tea every 10 days. *Compost Tea Recipe 3gal (Brew 24hrs)* 3 cups worm castings 2 tblsp EcoThrive Re-Gen 2 tblsp EcoThrive Grow I've also rotated the plants so that the lower bud sites are more exposed to the most intense lighting near the middle. This is proving to be an excellent move. They're catching up to the top rapidly. I'm simply watering when dry every 2 days, and they are drinking quickly. A good sign. All in perfect health, growing and praying vigorously! 🚀

Donrodman3 Superb green luscious health. Praying everyday. Temp: 22°c - 29°c Hum: 40% - 55% Water ~ 3L (each) PH: 6.3 - 6.7 This week has only consisted of watering approximately 3L each of dechlorinated tap water PH'd to anything between 6.2 - 7, every 2 days. Growing organically is very easy. I've been very attentive to these girlies, so I defoliate almost daily and L.S.T when needed. But other than that, it's simply watering when dry. All plants in perfect health. Couldn't be happier.
