Trichome Orchards test grow by SkeletoR

[zSkeletoRz]

This is my line up for this run.

I will be running living soil and fertilizing with gaia greens line of organic goodies. Soil is recycled using imo and LAB.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

This is my previous run of Trichome Orchards strain, Purple Arcana. (And 2 Slymer from Sacredcut)

They seem to be enjoying the bigger boots and myco.

Early morning update while I vape a bowl of purple arcana.

Moving along nicely

Brewing up some ewc tea and frass for these girls.

Almost time to flip em.

What kind of water are you giving the plants?

What kind of water are you giving the plants?

Tap water, unfortunately. I used to use rain water. I bubble it for 24 hours before I use it to help remove any chlorine.

Once or twice a month they'll get an ewc tea, ½ cup ewc and roughly an ⅛ cup of blackstrap molasses, brewed for 24 hours. I add ½ cup black soldier fly frass and ½ cup lactic acid bacteria to the brew an hour before I water it in, for added chitin and more diverse microbes. The solids from the tea are strained out and added into my soil bin.

Once into flower I'll make a similar tea but swapping the ewc for guano.

Watered in the tea last night. Opted to not bother filtering it and hand watered, so I wouldn't clog my pump or wand.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

I'll be defoliating tonight. Flipping in a week or two.

I should mention my tent is lit with a tsw 2000 from Marshydro.

Some defoliating is done. Likely flip them 7 days from now.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

A little more defoliating.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

Little less crowded now.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

Lights flipped. Another clean up is needed.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

More clean up done. Watering done. Turned the pump down some, so no overwatering this time. Need to remove lower branches and raise the net slightly.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

More leaves removed, some lower branches removed. Net raised slightly.

Water bubbling for tomorrow's watering and top dressing. They're starving for some nitrogen.

 

[zSkeletoRz]

Greener pastures

 

[EastCoastGambit]

nice lil stretch so far!

Damn that's a lotta soil!
Big boots = big shoots!

P.S: I think i see some overwatering brown spots/splotches in the latest photos (Oct 26, 2023) on lower leaves, maybe try and let them dry a bit more... i think they'll enjoy it!

Definitely some brown spotting from overwatering. I opted for a wand and pump this crop, after last crop proved to be incredibly painful to water. Unfortunately I had the pump on my wand setup, turned to full. So they got drenched pretty bad.
