About as dry as one should allow for the dry side of watering. Im always a huge proponent of following the watering scale from 2-4 out of 1-5 range. Ive slightly adjusted my tactics as the microbes thrive in water but also oxygen. Drying out the soil allows oxygen to re enter the soil structure. Anytime one over waters one is destroying aeration of soilless medium. (Especially true in fabric/soft pots but any potted culture, free draining shouldnt even be a question unless its earthbox tech. ) This is the reason they invented the medias they did. As they are more forgiving to repetitive additions of water. Ie rock-wool the ultimate wont collapse but can be watered constantly. (Yield) Coir ive noticed is also fairly forgiving in not holding too much water and almost seems to let go too quickly. Imo. I still prefer a combination blend. Which seems to be working quite well. Still working towards no pre made, ie pro mix. And no perlite in future. Peat Promix cc-k Coir Castings Few mineral dusts (17gr per 5gallon soil) 35gr for the heavy. 1/4cup ish. Top dress with EWC and have been watering from the aquarium ive had going for two years no cleaning. I recently remembered thats what sort of started this adventure into microbes. Or atleast made me belive it could work. A variation of aqauponics/soilless medium horticulture and soil food web-microbe organics. Thermal compost is a big must for all of this to work. Thats going to be my biological take on farming. ;).

Lets diagnose; all one plant. Video- few days ago,2nd pic today. Currently have"" spidermites,thrips, fungus gnats. Predators applied for two months, under control. Grown with microbes, no synthetics, three types if EWC, peat/coir plus mineral dusts. Tap water. Bubbled The damage you see in background is the reason shes outside now, started along one main branch. , i thought i had burnt it with the vyprs, her sister enjoyed the same space after switch, (they burn leaves but new growth wouldn't be affected). Maybe the damage to stem from the LST as it was slightly torn/crushed/healed with a callus. At first the withdrawal of energy i thought could be for repair. However it went in both sides of said bend, just slightly. (May have been a source of infection, thus spreading to the upper portion of said branch first.) very curious how slowly it spreads as if shes trying to grow through it. Then new foliage is affected again. Thin new leaves. (Looks like severe humidity problems. Slightly curled down and in. Tips burn first. I wondered if during the extreme PPFD if it had a dry spot in the container, which would affect one major root branch area maybe, pythium, and such etc are usually affecting the entire plant at once though. Or theres something chewing on only part if the roots, or shoots. 🤔 ...........--------/ Its now swelling really nicely with a month to go still. However the disease is officially chasing it down as the latter half is literally stunted and somewhat shrinking. Has not spread to either the seeded plants outside, so not likely a fungus/bacterial infection above surface. Nor any plants within the grow a few weeks before taking it out for quarantine were affected. Happy thinking and growing. :). #cannabisgrow #cannabisblog #cannabiscanada #cannabisblogger #horticulturist #horticultureblogger #plantblog #plantnerd #medicinalcannabis #organiccannabis #plantdiagnostics #plantproblems #cannabisissues #sickplant #plantdisease #horticulture #cannabisproblems #cannacanada #craftcannabis #ledgrown #soilfoodweb #microbeorganics #organicfarming #microgrow #cloudsovercanada #ontariostoners #plantdoctor #medicinecabinet #qaulitycontrol #quarentine https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn3-LOyhcmP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vduflv8jojjw

First go at ever placing a potsto in the soil. Not bad for seed potatos from @uharvest. I usually don't look up what one is supposed to do on a first trial. This way the plant and i have a chance to become acquainted with the life cycles and general plant morphology. I do sometimes try things also just because; so around the time just before flowers i did bury the entire patch. Im guessing i could've picked them then and had small reds. Lol. Always learning. Happy growing everyone. 👍🤓💪. #canadiangrowers #backyardpotatoes #zone5 #ediblandscaping #bakyardfarm #backyardveggies #urbanfarming #urbanfarm #plantblog #plantnerd #plantsoverpills #horticulturist #horticultureblogger #thankgodformedicine #canadianpotato #potato #aardappel #soilfoodweb #microbeorganics #soilfoodwebgrown #aeratedcomposttea #organicproduce #organicpotato #organicfarm #organicfarming #probioticfarming #prebiotics https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpSARQhU0T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8acur37svae

Peppers and the soil food web. This summer i had great success with my peppers, general health of plants and overall quality of fruit as well. This new microbe growing method is going to only improve my previous quality of products. The reactions from the synthetic salts were not usually quite as positive as with the tomatoes and other things i grew. The insect pressure was just insane last year from the weevils (see the damage in the jalapeños pic, brown spot. Usually would be a hole, and this year a few didn't burrow only left the wall of fruit. 🤔) and in general i found the peppers finicky unless it was the chilis or hotter ones. Even the insect world knows to avoid the California reaper 😂. (Grew amazing last year, did not try one). Theres talks of a hoop house in the near future, if i can swing that ill be growing peppers eggplants and tomatoes in the worst environment possible b. (Hoop houses are.... handy, for storage and things. Haha. Actually mainly for propagation of perennials until summer. But protected culture is always better for these plants than non. The ability to make a micro climate during cooler weather to increase ripening is a huge bonus. But thats also the drawback, its a giant tube of micro climate, always dealing with spikes in the extremes of humidity and heat, with minimal control. Adding the controls places one in a silly position of having spent too much in the hobby kit and not investing into bay one of a gutter connect. Which isn't always the right answer for everyone either. Always planning, always thinking, but just keep growing as you go. Literally and figuratively. Have a great weekend everyone. 💪🤓👍🌱🌲💐💨. #thankgodformedicine #godsmedicine #greenfood #growingpeppers #backyardpeppers #organicpeppers #paprikakwekerij #kwekerij #plantblog #plantnerd #plantsoverpills #horticulturist #horticultureblogger #organicproduce #cultivation #organiccultivation #prebiotic #probioticfarmersalliance #probioticvegetables #soilfoodweb #microbeorganics #plantopinion #plantthoughts #williamdamseeds #uharvest #uharvestorganicseeds #reneesgardenseeds @uharvest @williamdamseeds @reneesgardenseeds #wallacewow @wowwallace @gro4organics https://www.instagram.com/p/BngWdDBF7z-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z7idqogtt4dt

"Squishy, I shall call it squishy, maybe we will squish it and squish and smoke it" Another update, because they're pretty. 😎. Have been only watering with plain or bubbles water, (I also recycle dehumidifier water most of the time), for last week or so and will continue until the end. ... Temps are running 27-30 day and trying to get low as possible for nights, which has been 22-23 coldest so far. Currently do not have an AC in the grow. Nor will I. I will build a "lung room" that I can draw cold air from, and also pull to other rooms at same time; like the drying and veg room. Co2 is still ambient. Lights are on from 6:45 to 5 lately. And I try to allow the room to warm for few hours prior to lights on, as well as first two hours (if not going over exhaust limits automatic). I cool a little more nearing lights off which the first set turns off half hour prior to the second. Slow transitions of and when possible. :). And also get a proper monitoring device. Throw away your thermostat 10$ POS devices. High low tells u two things. 🤔. Min and max. Well when was that? Or why? I use sensor push. So far have been working great and have multiples. Have seen other units as well. Learn vapor pressure deficit. And grow by it and or the same reactions to plants in the environment. When numbers are combined with ones ability to watch and learn the process. One is able to confirm theories as well as teach others who will never gain that horticultural understanding. Skills are taught, passion is grown.

Ornamental plants. Volunteer left, strawberry guava fem. center by @oninoodles @oni_seed_co Plant on right is a male not related. ..............-------------..........The best part of coming legalization is that everyone can grow some plants. I'm not sure how this in turn will affect ornamental varietals but if nothing else we can grow four outside for fun. :). Should be interesting seeing if people partake next year or not. Unless it's only indoors it's allowed, not sure. Have my own regulations so not really too concerned. 🤓👍 Pollinated this lady with the gent beside again today. Takes a few days from what I see to have another build up of pollen, was also windy today otherwise would've waited a bit. But all the pollen from first and this shed I collected and blew over the female. New pistils are forming so can keep making seeds for a few weeks. Then I will wait the thirty days give or take for ripening of the seeds.

Pepper update. Wow these things like the livings soils I've had rejuvenating since last fall, some of the peppers are in pots (mostly nursery but one in a 15g smart pot and is quite happy, really happy in fact) and were moved onto soil late but they must've rooted in some too because I have only top dressed them all with earth worm castings and watered in some AACT. Few of them but limited the last little while. One watering of humic/Fulvic and seaweed powder. Which everything seemed to like in terms of veggies. -we had a really warm spring but late cold late spring 🤔. The peppers were small going out and could've waited since the cold came back, but they managed to survive and come back with a vengeance. The tomatoes were much larger going outside and were also buried up to the top apical stem, which is always interesting, I do believe it helped get quite a mass of root system on the plant. #l .......--------....... I like peppers more than tomatoes, maybe I should focus more on that route🤔 haha. Or both as they also grow well. Had some eggplant seeds too but got too disorganized this spring. Next year I'll have more colours. ;).
