A pot you can see threw for science sakes would rock .. would be cool to see whats happening in and around these repositories.

imo the roots would avoid the smoothie spikes at first like the plague , that is until the micro life gets done with it then they would flourish.

Have you ever gotten ph readings on smoothies ?
I believe B.o.g. used to incorporate a lot of spikes in the soil . Maybe it was rev.

Hey brother there aren't any spikes in the soil due to Ph changes. That's the beauty of doing smoothies with fruits and local berries. The sugars have already been converted into usable carbohydrates by the producing plant the smoothies are made from.

I have the same groups of microbes breaking down the food source most suitable to each microbial group. Microbial clusters of individual microbial groups form within the soil. They're continually fed and each borough of groups remains vibrant through the final feeding. In the spring I start feeding the soil food web as if there was a plant in the soil. So when the seedling grows out of the solo cup sized hole of plain seedling mix soil. It has an entourage of microbial colonies waiting to feed it and communicate with the Exudates.

Hence the treatments with mycelium substrate repositories to see if the Dark Septate Endophytes communicate with the Exudates. Only testing after harvest will provide these answers. Mattbho, this is cutting edge next level organics that I'm testing and developing.
Peace brother 🙏

July 12th Updates.
The two phenotypes of the China Yunnan both green and purple have both declared female today. Both of the Lebanese plants are female one declared yesterday and one today. None of the three Orient Express plants have declared sex yet, neither has the Destroyer, White Widow x Thai and one Chocolope.

Both Blueberry x Blue Thai are female and one Auto Zamaldelica x Blueberry is a female. Three Chocolope's declared female this morning. That covers all the plants. The Tomatillo tomatoes are all starting to fruit. I'm guessing it will be mid to end of August before these Tomatillo's are that beautiful dark purple 💜

I will also have 6 Chokecherry trees full of ripe bundles of berries. These are also very dark in color. My end of season repository feedings will be with these very dark colored fruits. In the hopes that the anthoccyanins are influenced with these darker colors as the carotenoids are being degraded.

So much to anticipate, if the darker colors are picked up? Will they be passed on through the seed in the first filial reproduction? If I have enough Tomatillo tomatoes to freeze until next spring, can this phenotypic expression be influenced earlier in the season? The carotenoids (acidic)and the Anthocyanins (alkaline) are both Ph responsive making them a temporary astettic.

I can easily control the alkalinity of the soil and plants by changing water sources a few weeks before harvest or blending them as not to jump extremes. It's an absolutely wonderful day here. I wish you all the very best.

If i remember this right, the thai widow is female seed, too. As usual, i'm curious how all these thai crosses finish for you. Now that you know the sex of the plants, it's time to take cuts and label!

It would be fun if cuts could be overwintered until you can grow next spring, especially since cuttings are supposed to finish sooner than seed grown plants. Even if a plant won't finish for you early enough this year, it could as a cutting, next season.

I dunno how easy it would be to get those plants out of the bags to reveg this fall, but that's an option, too.

Hey farmer lion. I Wanted to ask you if you’ve grown ka5h from Ace? I wonder specifically about feeding sea 90 to this strain, as it apparently likes nutes. I’m thinking it may need a bit more sea 90 than recommended levels.

Hello again, the opposite of praying leaves is hanging near death. Well that's what she looks like at 10pm. I know by morning she will be standing at attention again. So here's the last two pictures I'll post for a while regarding praying leaves.

Tomorrow the plants will get watermelon and pineapple smoothies again. I carried the fruit in and told the girls to sleep well. So I bid you all a good night.

Hey @farmerlion
I’m curious what your findings are regarding the plants “praying”. I’ve been noticing my outdoor girls doing that and at first wondered if it was water- but the soil is quite moist and in the morning they came back up. You think it’s actually a good thing? Or neutral?
More so, I noticed you and someone else talking about using rotten fruit- what is that about? And have you been doing it for awhile?

Thanks

I just ran a couple haze crosses including a KA5H using sea90. I did my sea 90 watering every Wednesday, 2tsp to 5 gallons, spread between 4 plants. The KA5H didn’t seem like it needed anymore than that and grew happy. Mine that run was the a5/NL pheno.

Hello friend, in my opinion and from my studied conclusion, I think praying cannabis is a very good sign. I have been doing the Fungal Repositories for 6 years now and it is the most dynamic platform I know of. Please go to my first pages and open up the collapsed posts and study them thoroughly. There is far to much information to rewrite here. It's all very simple and explained to the best of my vocabulary abilities.
Thank you for stopping by.

Blondie, I've never grown that Ace strain out. I don't believe it will finish properly here. I have grown Malawi and Golden Tiger in the past and they didn't finish either.
So I'm incorporating with the Auto Zamaldelica male into lines that do finish and thrive. I will be making selections towards the three strains I'm developing for greenhouse/outdoors that's actually grown outdoors in a greenhouse. I'm following the same selection practices as Mario of Delicatessen Seeds. His works and quality speak volumes for the earliest flowering pure sativas in the industry. In my opinion...

Hello friends,
I was blessed to spend an hour on the phone with my dear friend Nannymouse. WOOHOO, WHOOP WHOOP, WOOWEED!!! Love me some Nannymouse. She was the kind soul that gave me the 4 Chocolope plants and the White Widow x Thai plant. She also provided the exceptional Ogers Kush.

Hey farmer how come I don't see the plants I contributed very often??? My apologies dear lady, pictures are on their way. The first three plants are single planted, two are in 35 gallon grow bags and one is in a 45 gallon grow bag by itself. I'm curious how the extra root room translates into buds if at all? The fourth Chocolope is double planted with the White Widow x Thai in a 45 gallon grow bag. Oddly enough both plants have double serrations along the leaf edges. The White Widow x Thai has slightly thinner leaves. Both have 11 leaf bracts.

The next picture is the White Widow x Thai then the Ogers Kush. The only male I have not culled is a Auto Zamaldelica f1 of the femmed line that came out in 2020.

Farmer lion: Thanks. I forgot your ice-out was far later than mine..

On another note, I’ve tossed a few unfit to eat strawberries into my ka5h soil. Not enough to slurry. I’ve also got a bunch of peaches that fell from the trees added into my compost bin. I have lots of apples as well I’ll toss in. No bananas though!

For anyone reading this, I’ve now watered all plants twice with sea 90. My watering can is about two gallons and I’ve added roughly 1 1/2 tsp per. So far plants are healthy and growing great. My ka5h willl grow taller than my fence soon.

Hello again,
I want to share a couple leaf pictures that are huge. They are from the Hawaiian IBL from Mr.Greenjeans and his CherryBomb. I have posted pictures of a 21 leaf bract on a Highland Nepalese Grape phenotype I had last season. This is an 11 leaf bract that dwarfs my hand. The leaves are 11 1/2" long x 2 1/2" wide on average. The leaf bracts are 15" wide overall. This plant is 6 weeks old from seed today.

I can't wait to see how these plants flower out. This is the heaviest Thai percentages I've ever run collectively. Yes this is a Hawaiian plant, sativa dominant with 11 leaf bracts. She's already flowering under natural light, I'm so excited. The remaining seeds I have of this strain are quickly moving into the realm of Priceless in my genetics library.

This plant will be getting pollinated by the Auto Zamaldelica male. My male is sativa dominant leaning to the Thai side of the parental donor and early onset of flowering with a strong chemical aroma. The humidity is very high in the greenhouse and he is getting misted and watered from the top down to simulate rain. In an effort to keep the flowers closed a little longer.

I want the females to be as ready as possible, late pollen only produces thousands of immature seeds to sort through later. I look at each seed individually and it goes into an antique dark green glass prescription jar. Labeled and placed in the refrigerator for genetics.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the posts today.

Congratulations Blondie, I'm sure you're harvest will be awesome! Thank you for sharing my friend.

You had a leaf with 21 fingers? That would unquestionably be the most I have seen or even heard of. Any pics of it?

RoostaPhish, sorry the laminate I had was cloudy. In the middle of the leaf you can see multiple leaves stacked up. It was the best I could do on short notice. Every time I pull this book out it looks worse. That same plant had numerous 13 and one 15 leaf bracts. This was by far the most I've seen or heard of. I actually still have this plant hanging in my drying room

It smells amazing, like it's been in jars, but it's just been hanging since October 10th I think.

Good morning my friends,

I hadn't done a door shot yet, so here's two pictures of the three rows of plants. The four week old plants are 3' tall and the 6 week old plants are 4' tall. The three Orient Express germinated June 10th vary. The first plant center row has good light and is squat. The two plants in the mycelium integration tests are stretching out to compete with the Tomatillo plants for sunlight.

The Tomatillo plants have beautiful yellow flowers 🏵 blooming. . Lot's of fruits forming, I'm so ready to try some of these little maters. 😋
Have a great weekend my friends.
God bless, farmerlion
