Sharing my organic soil recipe and potting

First off, hi everyone. I just wanted to share this, maybe it will help someone.

1. Potting soil
   
   
2. Fertilizer
   
   
   
   
   

First step, I mix up five gallons at a time, easier measurements. According to the packages. I mix both fertilizers together, cause the veg has calcium.

Second step, I fill five one gallon pots. Water until run off. Now I set them aside. We will get back to this.

Third step, fill up five solo cups, just with the potting soil out of the bag. This is because they’re is fertilizer in the soil. Just enough to feed for a month.

Step four, back to the gallon pots with the mix of fertilizers. Keep watering the soil until ready to transplant into, should be about a month. This is because it’s the organic fertilizer, it takes about a month to break down. So when you transplant it’s ready for the plants to uptake.

Just repeat for the final pot size, and I make a tea once a month tell flower.

Happy growing

Does those size bags just make 5 gallons or more? Im guessing they sell bigger bags just curious how much you get with those sizes

I use 1 cup a gallon

Ah ok i understand now

Love it !!!

Hi Bent!!

Thank you very much for the recipe! And for the collaboration too, since you premiered the category

This is just the best and cheapest way for me to grow. Thank you

Hi to everyone in this awesome community. I’m here to announce,
it’s contest time
(USA only)

You will be guessing how much I will harvest from one plant, and the winner’s ( first, second and third place) will receive a pack of my genetics of regular seeds. ( White runtz crossed with a 1990 verity.

               **The rules**

1. One guess per person. You can guess now or wait until a week before harvest.

2. Only pound and ounces ( 7lbs/4oz)

3. You’re first guess is final NO going back to edit. If this happens you will be removed from the contest. Trying to be fair.

I will post pictures weekly or try to. You can follow on my thread 10 pound plant. And remember this is outdoors so anything can happen.

PS. I would like to say thank you to @Eli , @Rasta_Free-Man and everyone else involved. Everyone in this community is awesome.

Hi Bent!
I was just remembering when that space was empty… You are doing a great work! When do you think she will start the flowering stage?

Hi Eli, I was looking at the older pictures and she’s getting big. It’s hard to see when you look at it daily.
Depending on the weather I have about a month and half. So mid September. Harvest is end of October/ first week of November.

Where I live harvest time for sativa is November/December. Indica is October, hybrid is in the middle. This is if weather is good. Everything could be pushed back a month.

its gonna be a big harvest what variety is it ?

It’s white runtz crossed with a 1990 verity.

if it gets any bigger prob fill some of the houses here never mind a grow room looks nice mate , tbh i think early stuff can hold its own against most maybe my age im nosta;lgic being 56 lol is the cage around it to stop creaturs and to also train it ? it looks like chicken wire . makes it look like a diamond in a vault lovely plant i see ppl use cal mag , , that the same as the cheap pills you can buy at chemist calcium, magnesium supliments about £2.25 per 100 or so ? same stuff right ?

This is why I love growing outdoors, you can really test the genetics and your self. It was 6ft tall before I put up the trellis. The first trellis is at 4ft, the second at 5ft. At this rate it’s growing a inch plus a day, so another foot or so before it stretches for flowering. As of right now it’s 10ft wide × 6ft tall.

Yes that’s chicken wire, it’s also around the bottom.

um not in USA in Canada here. but id like to guess knowing i wont qualify for the award…but have a few questions
1 what soil medium are you using?
2 fertilizing or organic?
3 what climate are you in, average temp day and night?
4 is the guessing number based on after drying harvest or fresh cut?

Hi @davil420 , I don’t mind you guessing and to answer your question.

1. Organic living soil
2. Dr. Earth veg and bloom with
   fish emulsion
3. Climate 3000ft. I’m posting my
   weekly temp’s.
4. The guess is for dry weight.

Good luck happy growing

8lbs 3 oz is my guess great job by the way I am thrilled to be a part of this

How many plants total?
