Pink Kush and 7east (organic ish grow)

[Stuntzii]

Hello,

Thought I would make a grow log of my most recent and currently in progress grow. I have a couple indoor grows under my belt and I am starting to narrow down a process that I like, but I am also open to improvement and new ideas as well.

I started with x2 clones of Pink Kush. The PK cut comes from a professional grower so I know it will be good genetics. The other (smaller plants) are all Headstrong from 7east genetics (a Canadian company that offers regular seeds).

The clones are taking off and are currently in 15 gal fabric pots. The Headstrong was started about 17 days ago from seed and was just topped at the 4th node, they are in 3 gal fabric pots.

I am at a bit of a dilemma as the Kush is approaching flip size (not sure the stretch so I want to be conservative) and the Headstrong is still small. Originally I wanted to clone all the headstrong in case there was a standout keeper but I think I will go for re-veg if there is an exceptional plant.

It's my first time working with regular seeds so I think it should be interesting. I decided to do regular seeds because a: 7east genetics looked cool and b: I think it is good practice to be a well rounded grower.

Just wanted to say something about the nutrients and soil I am using. I am using some recycled soil from my last couple grows. The soil that was recycled was amended with Gaia green 444 and bloom along with compost, worm castings and some bunny poo. I made an outdoor container box for the used soil, I would just toss in the root balls of the finished plants and chop it up a bit. I would sometimes throw in a bit of compost and scrapings from the worm bin too.

This box soil sat for a while and broke down somewhat. I also threw in some extra dolomite lime. I forget the exact amount of lime added per gallon of recycled soil, I figured the lime in the original promix would be somewhat depleted so I added some hoping to replenish what was lost. I am hoping the lime added boosts the cal and mag levels as well.

Anyways I was a little worried that there may be too much nutrients or at least unbalanced nutrient levels. Without a soil test I was going in blind with the things I added. I tried to be conservative and go for less than more.

I cut this recycled soil with about 1/3 fresh promix and some extra perlite for drainage as the recycled soil is a bit heavier than new pro mix.

One thing I have been working on is in-house compost creation. I have a fairly large compost pit where kitchen scraps, bunny poo and hay (I pick up from a strange lady who keeps like 20 rabbits) yard waste, leaves ect. This stuff its great and the plants love it. I swear I see them perk up when I do a top dressing. I am relying more on compost than just straight Gaia Green like my last grow.

Here is my last grow I documented here

7 gal Compost, Gaia G, EWC grow (with issues)

Hello everyone, First post on the site, also this is my first grow with photoperiod plants indoors. Previously, I have gone through three autoflower grows with varying degrees of success. The last grow with autos went really well so I figured I would get into something new and more versatile...
