I almost forgot. Smoking to much I guess lol. Oh the one that looks like shit is actually in full recovery.

Very bad soil mixture (kellogs) had bugs and all sorts of problems. Root aphids being the main suspect. Transplanted to hempy and it took about a month to start showing healthy new growth. Would have tossed it if it wasn't the only one I had. It is the clone only Skywalker og. So I am very happy about it turning around. Also have a new clone ready to take that crappy ones place. Will flower out in 55 days or so.


Small clones ones are Jolumbo.

It is in full recovery. Not worried at all. Another 2 weeks it won't even look the same. Will be doing feedings and water change tonight. So I expect to see a nice increase in growth.

They have just been drying out and had minimal nutes given. Especially the one that looks like hell. It still has some soil in it since I couldn't shake all of it off. Smelled like sewage in the root ball. Roots were brown. Everything that could possibly be wrong with the roots it had, lol. Great lesson in why we always! Always! Use quality soil or make your own. Ooorrrr switch to Hempys :)

Okay I have full update for you guys. Pictures are from my phone. I did my best until I get some batteries so I can take macros.

So let's get the tour staryed. Grab a drink and a bowl.

So we will start with the veg room. Back left corner is the mother area. On the left is the Jolumbo. On the right is the Skywalker OG (this is actually recovering nicely after a boat load of issues with some bad soil).

Under the tube fluro is the future Skywalker OG mother. The old one that is recovering will get thrown into flower with everything else, that is the one that looked like it got hit with a weed whacker and then lit on fire.

Under the 2 big boy 250 watt CFL with wings is the next group of Jolumbo for the flower room. Quick note if you plan to use clone trays as water catches be sure to check for leaks in the bath tub first. You can't tell in the pictures but 2 of the trays are empty where as the other two are about an inch from the top... yeah, luckily it only took 3 towels to soak up. Good news is no electrical damage.

As you can see everything is in hempy style buckets. It's been about a week for everything new. The mothers a bit longer. I did the first real feeding on Tuesday. I pour 20 gallons of water into a rez and mixed at about 25% of what the schedule said. It probably should have been 15%. A couple of the clones are showing signs of burn. Nothing horrific but it shows they weren't ready to jump from 0 to 25%. So that is noted and on the next batch will start 10 - 15% for the first week.

Nute list for veg:
GH series: Micro, Grow, Bloom, Diamond Nectar
Dutch Masters: Zone, Silica
Super thrive
H2O2
Orca - I won't be mixing this with my mix any more. Instead will be applied separately in a 1 gallon batch split between everything. My thinking is that I am basically killing them instantly by putting them in the rez, especially with the H2O2. no science to back it up just something I've been thinking about.

Now on to the flower room.

These are all Jolumbo (Columbian Gold x Jo's OG).

Today is day 15 of around 77+. My plan is to take them 80 to 84. The Columbian genetics in the plant just keep stacking and throwing out pistils. I figure an extra week should do. So the plan is for week 11 to 12. Between Feb. 4th and 11th.

These plants are in a homemade Recirculating Low Pressure Aeroponic system. 20 gallon rez. The nutrients are mixed at a rate of 60%.

Nute List for flower:
GH Series: Micro, Grow, Bloom, Diamond Nectar, Kool Bloom, Floralicous Plus, Flora Nectar
Humboldt Own: Crystal Burst
H2O2 @ 60 ml
Dutch Masters: Zone, Silica

At end of week three I stop the following additives (Rule for me is once the stretch has finished and there are visible pistils/ flower sights then these items are stopped. I got pistils yesterday, mixed up the nutes on Tuesday, didn't notice any of the pistils l guess).

Dutch Masters: Zone, Silica

Every once in a while I will throw 10 ml of Orca into the rez as well.

I had a bad batch of soil once. All of my leaves started curling. I bought some new promix and transplanted. They all recovered and flourished.

It's funny when I grew in soil I always used quality soil and mixed in extra perlite, guano, microbes, ewc, etc. Never really understood why you need to go through all that.

Not really sure why I decided to go the cheap and lazy way but I learned a valuable lesson. That is why there are entire threads, websites and tons of info on making great soil mixes. If you start with crap you end up with crap. Not that it's expensive to make soil it just takes a little effort.

So in a way I'm glad I screwed up and got lazy. I know first hand why we use quality or put in the effort to make quality soil.

Nice looking as always yktind! What's your total plant count?

I've never got a hang of soil...
I'm almost ashamed to say it =P
To me it feels like soil should be the first thing growers get good at. But I never got around to making a good mix.

I jumped into hempys very early, and I want nothing too different from them. Simplicity and effectiveness at max.

Next grow I'm going to upgrade the hempy game though, so stay tuned come January! haha

Not really sure of plant count lol. I just let everything grow and then moved things around until they were the same height. One of them is pretty shitty though. Be lucky to get a gram off it, haha. But I'd say there are 5 - 7 in there.

I didn't think it was possible to have too much either. But the plants were not very happy. I will try it on more time and then I will just go the Gro-Kashi route to see what that is like. People are showing some amazing results.

I wonder if it would work in non organics with hempys. That is my main thing. I can add all of these microbes and stuff but don't I just kill them every time I feed?

I think organics and hydro don't play well together. I have seen some good results with having fish in the res and using the fish waste to feed your plants. I would stick with what you have going. I know some people swear by the beneficial teas in their hydro and I did have good results after messing up my roots beyond repair.
