Let me set the stage a bit and then I'll dive into the introductions for this new cycle.....
One my main goals with these 4 sprouties/plants is to begin diving into a more natural, sustainable grow style.
I've been on the goldleaf train for about 2 years now and I luv it, stupidly easy and consistent af.
I'm ready to branch off and try something new-to-me, and in this case something that leaves me with a reusable medium.
I have reused coco loco before with goldleaf and a couple other nute/feed routines but it always ended up being more hassle than good.
I like the idea of a true living soil, no till style grow but I don't think I have enough growspace to really do that properly.
Instead, I am going to start with a supersoil, "feed the plant" style while I dive into some of the basics of organic growing, amendments and top dresses, companion planting, etc.
the plan of attack is to grow a couple plants out using a coco loco + Gaia Green mix and then re-amending them between plants.
I'm not stressing growing any monsters this round, my serious hope/goal is to learn a bit about this method and how the plants actually grow while on this feed routine.
I've tried a couple of bagged supersoils but that was waaaaay back in the early days and I had no idea what I was doing lol.
Nowadays I have 3 ideas of what I'm doing lol.
So anyways, that's my high rant for today, gonna be running 4 sprouts on 3 different feed routines, but the main one I'm paying attention to is the Gaia green "supersoil" approach.
***the aloes are new, trying to grow a buncha aloe plants for some work friends and fam, maybe gonna try to clone some canna using just an aloe leaf and weed cutting!***
Mixed tent is doing the do, bottom left is the next photo to go into bloom(sns ice cream cake).
Bottom right is tastebudz sticky mango auto.
Top right is tb moonberry pie auto.
Top center/leftish are a jammy dodgers auto sprout from mephisto and a brand new seedling called papaya milk from cannarado genetics.
I’m more pleased than displeased with the current state of affairs.
Everybody is in week 7 here in the big tent, excepting the seedling and sprout ofc.
Things are proceeding fairly smooth atm in the mixed tent and I just dropped the next couple auto seeds.
This rd we got yuza sour from tastebudz and jammy dodgers from mephisto.
Gonna run them in 1gal pots as part of a 1gal growoff in a discord I’m a part of.
I’m going cheat mode and will be using goldleaf on em from seed to chop.
Once the beans pop I’ll do up a proper intro.
Mid part of wk4 and I’ve condensed thing a a bit to get ready for the next seed drops here in about 2 weeks.
I’m down 1 of the sticky mangos but I started with 2.
In this pic we have
Bottom left-sticky mango auto
Bottom right- moonberry pie auto
Top right- ice cream cake photo
.
The sticky mango is on goldleaf feed routine and the two right side plants are on the Gaia Green supersoil mix.
Everybody’s looking good aside from the training wounds lol.
Both autos have started showing sex but they’re still a couple days from hitting stretch and flower.
Sticky is a bit behind MBP as far as the transition.
We are hitting the early part of week 4 and aside from the couple of hiccups things are looking alright.

New cycle is chugging along.
I did lose a sprout and my climbing aloe to a vicious cat attack in the tent lol.
Ugh.
Anywho, the survivors are doing alright, they are all in week 3, day 17ish I think.
I’ve started some training on a couple of the sprouts, a couple big bends.
Here in about a week I’ll be topping one of the autos I think.
Gonna be a glorious hot mess hopefully!
Fingers crossed we don’t shock a gal into early flower!!!
We have Ice Cream Cake photo from super natural seeds uk.
We also have 2 autos from tastebudz going, Sticky Mango and Moonberry Pie.
I love it brother, the no-till has to be done!
With absolutely no extra time on my hands now that will have to wait for a little while but I will be following along forsure learning from this grow👍👍
Exciting man 🤟
