Now that I have closed out the Autoseeds vs. FastBuds Gorilla Glue thread, I am creating this new one as a perpetual journal for my indoor cabinet grows.  I used to be a DWC grower, and produced some nice smoke.  And big plants.  A few months ago, I made to switch to organic soil.  I started with a base of Roots Organic and Nature’s Living soil, but have added some dry amendments to the mix.  I top dress now with some compost and do brew some AACT teas ever few weeks.  I have some Blumat juniors to keep the soil a constant moisture level,  but I do water periodically for the top dressing to be effective.
it’s been a fun switch, as I feel like a new grower again. I love the idea of not growing with bottled nutes, and just focusing on feeding the microbes in the soil with nothing but dry organic amendments and tap water only. [lus I can attest to the flavors and effect of the cured buds. It’s definitely better in those regards. I definitely gave up a lot of yield, though. Plants are yielding less than half of what I averaged in water. With that being said, I enjoy the simplicity and the increased taste and poetency is worth the trade off.
So, currently in the cabinet I have a 53 day old Mephisto CDLC, an 18 day old Dutch Passion Auto Night Queen, and a yet to sprout Autoseeds Girl Scout Cookies. I put that directly in the soil.
CDLC Day 53
She is in the middle of the second week of flowering. She is short, and I still hope she stretches a bit. But she has quite a few bud sites, and a nice even canopy. I have added some Build A Soil Flower top dress and their craft blend to the soil, and the buds are loving it. If she isn’t going to be big, at least I will make sure she is all buds!
		
		
	
	
		
	
		
	
		
	
Dutch Passion Auto Night Queen. Day 18
I am happy with this plant’s growth so far. I grew two ANQ in DWC and they yielded 250 and 180 grams of some very tasty buds. this is the first time I am growing a plant I grew before, so I will see just how much I lose in yield. So far she is a bit behind the DWC plants at this stage, but ahead of the other Soil plants so far.
		
	
I have another pot where I am waiting for a stubborn GSC seed to show up. Patience.
