Seaweed only grow: 6.5 weeks flowering.

Hi,

Been running my diary in the CFL section but thought I'd drop in here!

This is my AK47/LR at 6.5 weeks 12/12 after a short 2 week veg. Shes been fed on nothing but whats picked from the beach, seaweeds/kelps and general fishy goodness I'm well pleased as this is my first true organic grow although I have always grown in organic soils.This lady is also a mutant with characteristic 'celery stick' stem and layered multiple buds on the left as you can see. She will be revegged for cuts once finshed.

Hope you like her, I do! 350watts of CFL's plus that great growlamp in the sky as and when we see it.

Please feel free to visit my thread link below. I also have a Bubba O Kush grown organicly going too.

Thank you chacha

Re your questions, well this was an experimental grow for me. I had read quite a few diaries where fish emulsions alone had been used with good results. What I decided to do was to collect my seaweeds fresh from the beach, then allow it all to sit in my bottles of water for 48 hours before using. I added unopened clams and cockles and numerous other fishy bits and pieces! I would then bubble the mixture for several hours with an air pump which helped to break down the mass well. The clams etc opened up. After this treatment I ended up with a really horrible smelly organic mixture which I then top watered as normal. They seemed to love it and I have had very few issues through this grow. I'm now at 7 weeks flowering today. I kept the mixture and used twice before making up new bottles but kept adding the decomposing goodness from the previous mix .

They sit under 350watts of CFL's but the room is South facing and gets some direct sunlight on good days.
