Hey all, and happy new year. it was a fun few days. Hope you had a good one.
Things have moved along greatly since starting this thread, and its been cool to share a window into the plants and get everyone's feedback.
This has kind of concluded this phase of things very neatly at this point with the first lot of random seeds finished and all plants cropped, seeds made.
One of the issues has been veg time in a 12/12 zone, the other being the heavy clay soil. The combination of the 2 means u get these stunted one bud wonder plants and some not growing at all cos its just clay and wet.
I tried to mix soil from here in different combinations and it did not fly at all. It was terrible and the plants just sat there.
The solution has been to combine simple coconut compost, with matured cowshit rice stem compost and burnt rice husk. Roughly 1/1/1.
The second thing being extra light to hold the plants in veg, so u can add 6hrs light each day and not feel like everything is on a random autoflower clock.
Since the last bit ive been taking care of the next round of seeds and after being put out to flower on the solstice they are beginning to show preflowers today.
So its all very timely as the clock ticks forth...
New year, new moon, new plants.
More to do in general.
I wish you all the best with your endeavours anyone who's checked in so far. Thanks again for the replies. I will let this thread tail off from here. Its a slice of the year that was. I will most probably start a different thread for the next lot as things get interesting.
So for now, thats me done.
