There are going to be some nice bonfires this upcoming season too..... :D

Went to the local nursery and picked some stuff up for the garden:

2- 3 cubic foot bags of Gardner & Bloom Soil Building Compost. http://www.gbsoil.com/site4/products.htm
2- 2 cubic foot bags of Gardner & Bloom Harvest Supreme. http://www.gbsoil.com/site4/products.htm
1- OMRI listed Kelloggs Rose & Flower Fertilizer. http://www.kellogggarden.com/products?brand=kellogg&category=kellogg-fertilizers (the green bag)
1- Bottle Green Light Root Stimulator & Starter Solution. http://www.greenlightco.com/products/rootstimulatorandstartersolution/
1- Bottle Liquinox Iron & Zinc. http://www.liquinox.com/about.htm
1- Gallon Liquinox Fish Emulsion. http://www.liquinox.com/about.htm

The idea is this.... I just spread some stuff around in the isleds and beds etc (see post 498 on previous page), but I don't think its quite enough for whats going on right now. I have noticed chlorosis in the two Largest PK plants, and the Larger CCxHJ and Pure Sativa (the first "set" of plants that were transplanted into the ground). I ran out of FF Gro Big, and everything else I had.

I am going to spread the Kellogs Granular fertilizer around the outsides of all the beds. It's 4-6-2, and its primarily derived from Bone meal, Dried Poultry Waste, Elemental Sulfur, Feather Meal, Kelp Meal, Alfalfa Meal, and Potassium Sulfate. It also contains Non-Plant food ingredients, :). The types and amounts are listed right on the bag (one of the reasons I bought this product). Its listed in Colony Forming Units (CFU) per gram. It lists as follows.

Bacillus Pumilus- 1,000,000
Bacillus Subtilis- 500,000
Bacillus Licheniformis- 1,000,000
Bacillus Amylolliquefaciens- 1,000,000
And Also Extremely important to me is it contains 2% Humic Acids (derived from Leonardite)

Onto Mycorrhizae: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhiza
This product contains 444 viable mycorrhizal propagules per gram of the following organisms:

Ectomycorrhizae- Propagules/gram
Pisolithus Tinctorius- 400
Rhizopogon villosuli-12
Rhizopogon luteolus-11
Rhizopogon amylopogon-10
Rhizopogon fulvigleba-11

Endomycorrhizae-
Glomus intraradices- 0.09
Glomus mosseae- 0.09
Glomus etunicatum- 0.09



Once its spread around the beds and into the isles a little bit, I am going to cover it with about a 1/2 inch of a 3 part mix of local soil, Gardner & Bloome Harvest Supreme, and Gardner & Bloome Soil Building Compost. Im guessing this will particularly benefit the center isle of plants in the smaller boxes ;). I only plan on using 5 of the 10 cubic feet of soil I just got to do this.

Liquid Feedings In the Beds:
I have used a couple different Liquinox products in the past, and they worked really well for me, so I picked these up today based on what I am seeing from my plants right now, and the results I got from their other products in the past. What I am seeing from the Older Plants is the start of Iron, sulfur, and zinc deficiencies leading to overall macro deficiencies and slower growth and possible future health issues (my mycorrhizae needs food too ;) ). I just topdressed the soil in the beds as per post 498 on the previous page. The nutrients from that top dressing will release slowly and be usable over time to the plants, the plants are HUNGRY NOW, and need more food to grow vigorously and healthily. So I am going to feed them using the Liquinox Iron and Zinc First at 2 tblspns per gallon Fe 0.2% Zn 0.2% (5 gallons), and then the Fish emulsion at 1.5 tblspns per gallon (6 gallons). The Fish emulsion is 5-1-1. 0.50% ammoniacal Nitrogen, 3.50% Water Soluble Nitrogen, 1.00% Urea Nitrogen. This will be fed IN the BEDS only.

Green Light Root Stimulator In the Isles:
I haven't used too many Green Light products in the past, but this one was well recommended to me by a trusted grower (full synthetic). I am going to use it to promote root growth to come further out into the isles under the topsoil, while feeding the already existing roots closer to the raised beds, and having readily available nutes for the new root shoots going further into the isles. NPK its at 5-15-5. 4.14% Ammoniacal Nitrogen, 0.86 Urea Nitrogen. It has trace amounts of chlorine in it (Less than 3%) ;). It has the active root hormone indole3-butyric acid added at 0.0004%. After I top dress the isles again I will use it at 1 1/2 Tblspns per gallon (1/2 strength).

I hope to have the topdressing done this evening. And do some feeding tomorrow afternoon, :).

Any thoughts?

Nice info loaded. Like the top dressing method. Sounds like you know exactly what your giving them and what they are getting. THe root stimulator concept sounds pretty interesting, like your thinking there. Have a fresh journal in my signature as of a few minutes ago...

Im not sure how the transplanting is going to go exactly yet..... I am thinking about just sticking the plants in the ground rather than putting up raised beds for them..... and would do that quickly and easily were I not worried about gofers..... might get some anti gopher stuff, not sure yet. I will hopefully be transplanting:

A Jack Herer
a couple Red Budhas
a couple Grapefruit Deseils
a couple more NGGH's

I think the topdressing and feeding schedule should work out for them really well. We will find out though.

One more month to veg! Glad I reminded you to get your stuff done :)

I've heard that kitty litter keeps ground hogs/gophers away because they are picky eaters but I have never used it myself so I'm not sure if it work to well but If you have cats you could try it.

I just wish that my Grapefruit Desiels (GD) were larger..... largest one is a foot right now.... stunted by me not caring for it the same as the ladies in the ground, the GD's are still in one gallon pots. Hopefully this evening I won't be able to say that anymore. Ended up picking a bunch of tomato worms off my tomato plants last night..... the bastards, they ate a tomato! Im stoked to have my whole garden as well. Again though, the least impressive plant is the Widow Cindy.... and now that my Sensi Star is back into full veg.... MAN, am I in love..... the Sensi Star is FANTASTIC...... and the MAUI SKUNK too, more than living up to expectations! Cuttings start this evening. Time to start planning 2011 Outdoor grow, and get ready for this upcoming seasons winter indoor grows too. I will think about those things while I am at work this morning.

2 Month Progress Pics tomorrow! :D

Not sure about the kitty litter (I have no cats, but know that it attracts other animals ;) ), but I do have access to mole max, an anti mole/gofer granular thing thats safe for pets and kids ;) (really important to me), not sure how well it works, I will have to ask the expert I go to for all my most important advice, my Dad ;). I am going to give my roses some tiger bloom today and see what happens, :). About to go outside and feed, I think I am taking today off... :) ..... gunna set up some chairs in the garden too.... :)

Wish you guys could come have a sit & smoke with me. Should be a nice day! :)
