Faded's Forest

[faded.up.north]

Hey whatup, I'm Faded.
I've been lurking on these forums for years but just recently joined up. I've learned a lot and feel like it's time to give back a bit.

Everything in my gardens is soil I've mixed, variations on coots and LC's soiless mix currently. Lots of worms.
Girls fed EM style ferments, I have a few ill go into depth on later..


To start here's a few finished flower pics from last harvest

Rice - Chimera x Black Milk
[Right Hemisphere Genetics]

-This one was a good washer, the trichs have a sand like texture to them

-Tastes like kush and glue

Tigers Breath - Horchata x CPKB
[Sacred Cut Seed Co]

This pheno tastes like coffee and caramel, with an earthy almost pipe tobacco note.. indica heavy effects.


Cheers!

And here is the bed that flower grew in..

This bed is a 4x8 with a cutout, close to 400 gallons of soil.
It is Coots mix with some native soil/clay/leaf litter from the Canadian North.
Pretty basic canadian peat/aeration/ewc.
- I try to make as many castings as I can
myself and lots of worms in all my beds.
- Aeration is rice hulls/biochar/wood chips/pea gravel/perlite

-touch droopy from foliar

Genetics this round are..

Hash Dragon
Dutty Wine
Warrior Kush
Palestinian Princess
And Tuna Breath

All regs, untested, from 7 East Genetics. I appreciate the more traditional strains and am excited for this one.

Hey appreciate that Boo,
I love it when you find the right strain that hits between the eyes and keeps your ass planted for a few ahaha.

They are few and far between, but I’m running a strain right now that pretty much cleans my clock when I go to bed. My only complaint is it’s too gummy to put in the grinder.

I'm also an avid fish keeper, all the water for my plants come from one of my (too many) tanks.

 

[faded.up.north]

Popped these beans today for next round, a good friend asked me to grow a haze for him and I've wanted to devote a corner to longer flowering girls so that's the plan..

 

[faded.up.north]

3x3 day 7

Net filled in decently enough I'll probably stop tucking here and let er ride

HPS/LED Update
This was yesterday day 36f, girls starting to put on weight, got a couple pics in right before lights on.

LED side

HPS side

Each side has 2 sacred cake, 1 fruit basket and 1 animal crackers, I realise there's a lot of bleeding over so not a true side by side test but fun nonetheless.

Update on the coots mix bed with 7 East ladies...

Decided to do a feed couple days ago

Blended avocado, kohlrabi, some eme, kelp and meals

I dig little trenches in the feeding/mulch layer and pour in, not the most pleasant but worms go nuts after.

4 weeks since last update
I flipped this tent to flower on Christmas, pics taken on the 30th so day 5F

Added a couple scrog nets this round as well, done getting jabbed by stakes ahaha.
