since the 4 mozzarella have arrived.

Well be mixing up a new batch of soil, by Sunday.
Which Sunday should be the day that all items arrive.

Have to do this to get proper drainage. For now there just in rich black dirt. That is to dense. Which isn't a massive problem as of now but we'll hurt me in the long run.

Be mixing up Roots Original, Concentrated Strength Organic Super Soil ( well not be using this as a top feed process) just enough for a base. And rinse and repeat with it each upgrade to bigger pots, urban worm coco coir, perlite, and last but least rich black dirt from Minnesota, that I dugg around 4 feet to 5 feet, tell I seen the change of color in the layers. As the same with this just enough for a base. Maybe maybe 20% of mn black dirt, 10% of the super soil, 30% to 40% of roots original, 20% of the coco worm, 10 to 20% of perlite, which well depend on % of ratio is used with the 4. But should be able to make a gap with the perlite. Hence the Roots have perlite and coco in it. But we'll see if they have a enough it in. Cross my fucking fingers that the roots original is not bug invested.

I well mix quite a few smalls batchs up tell I get proper drainage, as of well that holds enough moisture. But not water just so it's damp enough to skip a feeding if needed.

I well continue to use the nutients on the daily schedule as recommended but cut down by 25 to 50%.

Biotancare kind series.

Kind base 2.0.0
Kind grow 2.2.4
Kind bloom 0.6.6
Calmag 2.0.0

I well just be using the standard feeding, not the expert feeding which would be 4 more nutrients to add in the feeding schedule. Well keep it with the standard for now and maybe down the road try there expert schedule.

I went with the roots original for the bulk of the mix so I can continue to use my nutrients for there should be enough play in the roots original were the base of the nutrients in there should be depleted by the time I re pot them from 1.5 gallon to 5 gallon to 12.5 gallon ultra oxy pots. But we'll be re mixing soil each pot transfer.

I well Update with pictures and opinions not this Sunday but next Sunday 18th.

Be topping hopefully Monday 9th. If I get the ratio right of the soil mix down by the end of the weekend.

Feel free to rip on me or give me your thoughts threw out this grow.

Quick update on my new soil mix, just got off the phone with my homeboy in Cali. FaceTime him before today's feeding showed him how dry the soil was after yesterday's feeding. Should note 4 1.5 gallon oxy air pots. Im feeding them roughly 2.5 cups each day give or take a half a liter each pot. Which well be increased very soon. As of now there eating that up fast. But he was thinking fuck using the Roots original for the bulk mix. Just stick with my rich black dirt I have and mix that up with the coco worm coir, and perlite, and still use the super soil very little, he was thinking go with about 2-4 cups for each gallon. With me canceling out the roots original I would be canceling out the risk of bugs from the roots original. Take a little stress away. Any thoughts would be appreciated, might make to batchs and test them both out just with a water run to see what's what. He didn't know how good are black soil is in Minnesota. But still do need to work on my drainage. Updates soon next Sunday should see big change in the girls, we'll moving up the does of feeding schedule after this week is over. Chow take care enjoy the weekend.

Mix up the new soil, transplanted them and topped them as well!! What a task. Thoughts the ratio turned out good. Skipped the roots original. Just went with my rich black dirt around 12 to 13 gallons, 5 gallons of coco worm, and about gallon of live super soil, ( which fucking reaks) and would say a gallon of perlite maybe even more just added what I needed as I mixed... nice drainage and would say takes about 10-15 mins to take a whole gallon of water for each pot. Did a that much water for it was the end of week of feeding wanted to get a nice drainage and well start next feed Tuesday see how the soil looks like tommorow, but we'll probably be moist enough to wait to start feeding on Tuesday that I well be doubling the nuts for week 2 and be giving more water as well. See how these bad girls look next Sunday with new pics as well....

Hmmmm well they got a hair cut again and again but these pics were before the hair cut today. 2 weeks flipping. Hoping to hit 2 and half feet with in the 2 weeks there all sitting at 20 and half inches right now. The 2 foot mark should be there by mid this week. Averaging about 2 inches of new growth a day so shouldn't see why they won't hit the 2 and half feet within 2 weeks. Ordered more items to get them ready for the nets as well another batch of soil mix for the last transplant. Not sure what my next run will be Skywalker og or mk ultra. Want to do a c99 run but need to make another room for veg/mother plants. New lights as well after this run photontek 1000w c20 next lights for sure probably end up buying two of them, but end up doing one purchase at a time since they run 1700 a pop. Update here in about 2 to 3 weeks when I'm 2 weeks into flower chow and take care I'm out and going off the radar for a bit. Enjoy the winter it's going to be a fucking drag for the next 6 months......

Ideally your looking for the ones with the zig zag structure a touch of purple generally floppy stems and reeking of course and the buds will be like stacked calyxes some call it foxtails but its dense so it aint true foxtails that be the cheese leaners and the short stout ones with dense fatter and more rounded buds will be the Ghani leaning ones they will have fatter leaves vs the more cheese leaning ones hopefully u find something nice mate
