During my outdoor summer grow i used regular garden store soil with red humus california worm for fert during vegging. When flower started i used concetrated seaweed extract which helped alot for crystal production and thick buds.
The plants were growing in a rather hot climate (30-42C) under alot of sunshine. At one point i noticed that the plants liked a half shaded (cooler) spot better. The leafs started getting deep green again.It needed the shade believe it or not.
2/3 pots were 20L pots and the other one was a 60liter pot. The difference between the plants was huge. Plants love big pots. Water drains and spreads more equally and the soil is more balanced.
Watered every day cause the sun was drying the black pots by noon..
I should have used perlite in the soil, because it got very dense towards the end of flowering. Its also good to use a root stimulant (i didnt) cause the plant can absorb more nutrients and water.
I hope me next grow will be in the forest straight in the ground. Plants should be "free". It aint fair "caging" them (in pots) and then kill em after our "job" is done.
They provide us with herb, we should grant them their freedom and let em live free in the forest after harvest.Know what i mean?
(back to topic) Used feminised seeds and was happy with the result. In 5-6 ounces of weed i found maybe 4-5 seeds (minimum hermaphrodism). I might try to germinate one of them see what it does.
I m also considering of using the Bcuzz line from atami next time. Grow booster, bloom booster and taste improver. For my veggies too.
Gardening is a great hobbie and it doesnt matter what you re growing. From herb to tomatoes, zuchinis, eggplants, peppers...
ps: by the way it was my first grow and i didnt expect this much potency from the buds. I guess outdoor grown buds usually come out pretty strong and sweetfully aromatic.
Total organic growing. Even without flushing before harvest, bud taste, aroma and buzz quality are superb. It might be a heady sativa but with no para or a comedown.
Has you coming back for more...
