18 square feet for veg, clone, and seedlings and 64 square feet flower area. Total 3400W LEDs. Currently doing high frequency fertigation in 70/30 coco/perlite using drip system on timer.

OMG! The more I ask the more I get impressed Dr. Sally D!!! You are a true plant doctor!!!

If i may take a bit of your time and expertise to ask the following;

If you had a small space of 2meter long, 1m30 wide with a height of 1m90…what can you do with such space, how would you organize it and how much dry weight to expect?

Love to hear from you if you have the time and if it is out of subject my sincere apologies

I don't think there is a naturally produced smell/odor that cannabis can't replicate. I've found fresh brand new dive mask terps that carry through to smoke, DMT terps (it's like brand new womens shoes and tennis balls), skunk, vomit, Cat piss, shit, dirt, mold, all the fruits listed above, gas, diesel, kerosene, floor cleaner, acetone, hairspray, spray paint, mint, plastic, wood, incense, pine resin, juniper... it just keeps going. Those are all things I have experienced myself, in plants I have grown.
Your choice of words is spot on and the smell names are too. Cannabis has demonstrated the strongest odor replication game known to man. I have a lot of fun in the garden when the plants are in various stages on the way to being finished. Like yesterday I rolled a big fat doober and took it in the garden and rubbed it gently on several sticky buds specifically to get some of the very early flavors and smells that disappears with the plants' maturity. God I love early terps a lot and when I smoked that bad boy it was truly a notch above the norm.

So I plopped some Blackberry Kush a couple months ago to see if and how it fits in my garden. Damn it's nice. The buds are like stones already and she is stinky.

I was mucking around the veg tent and saw the foot of Shabbo poking through. He naps in the gap.

Yeah, I do the same thing, usually around wk 5-6 of flower... like to roll joints through the resin and get a nice coating on there. Learned that trick from Soma's book, like a thousand years ago! Back when you had to pay dues if you wanted to grow. Brings back memories of parking blocks away from the only grow store within two hours drive, because it was common for the alphabet boys to set up and watch those places and take down license plates to bust you later.

edit; can't do it past wk 6 though, unless it's a long flowering NLD type... otherwise the resin won't regenerate by harvest.

You guys might like Fruity Fun, she is my variegated cultivar of high THC. Her buds are thick and rock hard. She tastes great also.

I am going to switch my garden over from coco/perlite pretty soon. I'm gonna let everything in there finish and then give it a good cleaning and switch to organic soil.

I had to replace my usual FF Ocean Forest with a different product as it is no longer available where I live; after the grow store closed down. I ended up buying a generic blend of peat and perlite, I asked the salesman what cannabis growers were buying from the nursery and he pointed me towards a product called Sea Soil Container Complete, it's 2 year old compost. So I followed a blend recommended by Sea Soil for cannabis.

I also had some of the soil mix with Ocean Forest so I was able to see a side by side grow of the two mixes.
The new blend seems to be doing very well. I had 2 pots with the old mix and 1 pot with a combined mix and 1 plant with the new mix. I'm glad this new window opened for me as I will look forward to working with the new blend. Of course there are variables but the plant in the new mix has outdone the others.

I have considered Blackberry Kush a few times.

For me, if I'm using straight bagged soil it's going to be Roots. I tried Dairy Doo flower soil last year in a few outdoor containers, its pretty good, got super nice flavor out of those but smaller plants.

I'm not familiar with those brand names but I think I've heard mention on here of Roots.
It sucks when you can no longer get a proven product and have to go looking for an alternative.

Yeah it's a problem for sure. I'm surprised Roots Organic isn't available in BC, it's made in Oregon. They make pretty nice quality bagged soil. I try to buy around this time of year, that way if it's been stored outdoors any pests have been well frozen for a long time. Nice when I can grab enough to make it through the year, but sometimes it's a pain to store.

You probably won't find Dairy Doo, it's made in Michigan and I doubt they've expanded much beyond the state. Still a pretty new company. They do have a unique mix, I still need to tinker with it in different blends.

I live in a small population area and it's not always easy getting some products. I do like the new Container Complete Sea Soil that was advised to me. I quite often store soil over winter, I just never thought of it as a pest killer but you have a point. I do like going to the garden nursery in the spring and looking at new products.
There is a business in the small city down the road that is a Growers Supply, it caters to the many orchards, vineyards and market gardens in the area. I see this business also sells a soil specific to cannabis but you have to buy it in yardage.
My Mrs was born in Michigan. Moved to Texas in her 20s.

I want to tinker with the Sea Soil as well, in all my years of growing I have never used compost indoors.
When you look at their advertising you see nice container tomato plants grown to full maturity without adding anything to the soil.

I do use compost as part of my base mix. Bu's Blend, by Malibu Compost. Really good stuff, but it tends to be a little "buggy", so you have to store it ahead of time. If I can, I store compost 18 months. I probably lose some soil life by doing that, but I don't ever want to see a root aphid again in my life.

The leaf structure on Holy Express is crazy. Now there are small leaves growing out of the blade of each leaf. This is the type 1 Freakshow Strain as opposed to the normal Freakshow.

that´s incredible! I´ve never seen this type of thing on any plant before! I´m refering to non-canna plants too. I wonder if there is some official term for leaves growing out of leaves... :unsure:
Can you please keep us up to date about this one because I´d love to see what happens next - some extra flowers would be just amazing, right ;)
