First organic grow - blue automazar // afghan kush ryder

[medi]

Yup-I'm sitting in here too. Good luck with this.I have 2 AKR"s going in a questionable organic grow but definitely not TLO. One's coming down next week and the other is younger. I'm subbed

Awesome dude I'll head over and sub up for the ride!!! I'm not sure you can call mine TLO either since I skipped several of The Rev's ingredients, but then as long as the plants are happy what we call it isn't relevant right?

Nice...good luck!

I have a pack of bam seeds waiting for me after this grow I cant wait to pop em !

I hope they germ ok.

How big are those pots?

what kind of light?

Great questions, I didn't list that stuff so I'll update my original post with it but the short answer is they're 5 gallon Geopots, both seeeds are in the seedling stage so they germed, and I'm using a Reflector series TOPLEDGROWLIGHT 96 X 3w. The actual draw is 180w. Yesterday I decided to add a UFO as well which draws around 60 watts so actual draw is around 240 for the two. I'm pretty psyched about the BAM also as I've wanted to grow Blueberry since I first tried it back in the 90's.

Yeah, I forgot to go back and update the first post but I added lime when I first started cooking the soil, and for additional calcium I added fish bone meal as well as the organic molasses and CAMG+ that I'll be adding via waterings, that reminds me I also forgot to mention the Epsom Salt, piss poor journaler I am sheesh.


*edit: OP updated to reflect Epsom Salt and Dolomitic Lime in amendments list.

LOL maaan tell me about it..I could almost add something I missed albeit small or otherwise to my grow threads every few days LOL!! you do LED's and got a more potent one didnt ya?? Cant wait to see how far the bone meal is gonna get ya..every other watering with cal-mag.I did it almost every watering with a light dose,but I dont use LED's ,but ya already know that...man..Im excited for ya man!!Thats awesome!!Id recommend sliding them into a good regiment early on with light to heavier doses.did you water your soil in to cook with Cal mag at all?usually a good idea..just helps it build lightly.Next time try some crabshell.just a small 4 lb bag will stretch ya two batches of soil prolly.with some lime...you can adjust elsewhere imo..food for thought on your next grow maybe..Im soo stoked n stoned man!!I cant shut up LMFAO! !:Hookah::My Arse..:

I added CAMG+ in with the original water as well as molasses to help kickstart the microbes. I'm using 240 watts of LED right now(actual draw) which is actually both of my LED's the big one up top and the UFO in a corner up top tilted down toward them, a good cover I think. Since I've got you here what do you think about Boogie Brew? I was thinking about picking some up to do a few teas of just the boogie brew and then others with castings, meals, etc.

Speaking of castings my worms have been crazy busy, and are making me all kinds of castings!! So lots of free worm teas. I'll try some crabshell with this next batch of soil I'm cooking, thanks for the advice I'm always willing to try out new amendments.

Yup boogie grew..I tried that,SOS and another tea..and they worked well.so I say get it n check it out man..prolly wont do as well as a custom make imo..but its a fine tea though..so yeah dude,check it out..Cant wait to get my worm farm sometime soon.I bet thats sum killer stuffs too.:gthumb:

Mine has been great all around, my daughter goes to an early college high school that assigns big projects over the summer, this summer she was required to "solve a problem using the scientific method" so I told her we'd solve reducing waste by showing the benefits of vermicomposting, so the first month we recorded the weight of all trash leaving the house with no vermicomposting, and the next month did the same but removed all vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and garden waste and cut on average 4 pounds a bag. Her teacher was floored and I got worm castings out of it And while it isn't the big elaborate farm I'd like I can always expand later.

I can't wait to get my wormery going!
