2014 PNW light dep!

[Nes]

Thanks noonin norcal!
Greencure seems pretty mild, potassium bicarbonate. From what I've read its ok to spray pretty late in. I sure hope so. I think I've even read about people using greencure as a post-harvest wash.
I keep hearing good things about nukem but I'm still hesitant to fork over the cash for it just yet till I get it better. I started a thread here:
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=291721 to discuss it further.

Ive seen nukem used last year with good results, It was used as a preventative. I don't know any info on the product, some may recommend only using if there is an issue though.

They've all set up real nice now we're just trying to get them to fatten up

We're dropping the N and upping the P, K, minerals, sugars, proteins and fats. We mixed another tea today, 2 barrels with 30 gallons each, 60 total.
Each 30 gallons got:
900ml mollasses
1200ml 0-10-0 guano
900ml 0-0-2 kelp meal
25ml 1-0-18 kelplogic
900ml EWC
200ml 2-1-2 alfalfa

This outdoor is my first venture into a "super soil" with the rev's recipe from TLO, minus any "spike" or "layers". It's alright... would have rather built it, tested it through a&l, and reammended, but time did not permit.
We've been feeding with teas consisting of all sorts of fun things like alfalfa, our homegrown EWC and compost, nettles from the surrounding area, fish emulsion, molasses, guanos, and different kelps about once a week. probably up that in flower, though thinking about top dressing as well.

The indoor blue orca scrog was a 35 gallon smart pot, 50/50 ocean forest/happy frog. Followed bio bizz's feeding chart, using bio- grow, heaven and bloom, topmax, and then adding some liquid budswell and molasses for good measure. That was feeding twice a week with all that, and once a week with just budswell and molasses.

What kind of feeding regimen are you doing in flower?

Edit: man its too early you posted this already right above....sorry

 

[Nes]

Sticky367, Thanks man! we've switched it up a few times throughout the grow. that last one was a intended to have a bit more of a bump in p and k, carbs and proteins, while easing way back on the N.
Thanks y'all

Shawkmon Thanks dude! there were a lot of firsts in this grow, I'm really happy with how its going so far. We were just talking about when to stop feeding them. I really want to push them a bit more, maybe just one more heavy kelp, guano, and mollasses tea

Noonin Norcal the wendell berry's really are gorgeous. you're right, too, they smell like candy! The ones that really get me are the duran bubbles; they smell like psychedelic bubble gum. I swear their terpenes get me high just smelling them. I cant work with those without cracking a grin and giggling like a schoolgirl

Looking good what strain packs on the most resin?

 

[Nes]

golly, Croptober, that's a hard one! they're all so shimery and frosted right now. The Nigerian sunshine beams in the afternoon. The Wendell Berrys look like inverted icicles in the sun. The Blue orca colas look like snowballs nestled in a bush.

 

[sticky367]

Nes,

Are the proteins food for the micro herd? I've also heard you mention fats, what purpose do adding fats serve? and in what form do you add these?

 

[Nes]

tbh man, I'm still working it all out on the proteins and fats. Kempf talks about it a bit, I'm still learning and reading. Proteins are aminos and feed both the plants and the microheard. plants create fats when they have an excess of carbs, and can retrieve that energy if they need when they don't. I'm not sure if they take up lipids from the soil, or if that just goes to the heard.
When I've grown indoors with biobizz, i've added these things through the bioheaven, which soy hydrolysate, and molasses.
In this dep, I haven't been adding anything to the teas specifically for fats and proteins, they're more an added bonus of some ingredients. the kelp, alfalfa and molasses all have some in varying amounts.

Well, the shit show begins. the "chance of rain" turned into monsoon season up here. We've spotted a couple outbreaks of botrytis hitting some stems. cutting it out and treating it. going to hot it with some sulpher spot treatments as per SG1's suggestion (Thanks you!) If anyone else has experience with this, chime in please. see,s as soon as it wraps round a stem its girdled and done.

Spent today setting up rain covers and thinning everything out. Sorry for the iphone pictures. is whattit is.

 

[Nes]

the sun's peaking back out in this last one. hopefully is stays that way for a bit.

 

[shawkmon]

getting close

 

[ponobegone]

Looking great dude. I also would hit the spots I cut out with a squirt bottle of peroxide.

 

[Nes]

We're getting there!
Pono, how much peroxide would you hit them with for this sort of application? We have the 27%, which says add 3ml per 4liters water in a res but that seems week for this usage. Thoughts ?
