Indoor Think Different's Organic Auto/photo Grow

[smith4924]

Whooa that hurt, I flinched and you hit my eye, haha.. Thanks bro
Yeah it blows Pro-mix out of the water imo, it's already got lime so one less hassle. I always add a little extra perlite to it because I amend other stuff into it sometimes. No local shop near you? I would pay shipping on that haha unless you do a freight order and buy a pallet or 2 of it and pay 3-500 for shipping haha not reasonable though. I am thinking of trying some of the other Sunshine mixes at some point. Like their cocoa mix I am pretty sure they still have... I used pro-mix the last round and had a lot of ph issues but I also had just started running House&Garden too. Once I added a bunch of lime to my feed water and top soil they started coming around. Had bad potassium and cal-mg lockout both indoors and out

No there's not a Hydro shop within 300 miles of me. Yeah I really like the Sunshine Mix #4 the last bail I bought I ended up paying around $150 for just one 3.8 cu ft bail so its hard to spend that kind of $ when you need about 10 of them last medium I bought was from Lowe's and it doesn't do half as good as Sunshine Mix. I ended up reusing my old Sunshine Mix for 4 grows and still have some left and it will be my fifth grow with it. Talk to you later bro.

So I wanted to let you all know I have things at a good start for the new organic grow. First off I will say I had 2/3 of my auto seeds not pop. The only auto I have is a Northern Lights Blue Auto in the 3 gallon pot. All seeds are 10 days old from germ. I will top all besides the auto tomorrow. I have picked out a few keeper pheno's already due to the fact that their growth rate and healthiness are way beyond others. This may not be my final decision but I will be sure once I clone and flower a few of each. I am impressed with Rare Dankness's gear. 100% germ rate and very nice healthy seedlings. The 12 G.T.H. and the 5 Vale Vale are outgrowing everything. Right now I have them all in Sunshine #4 mix with very light Coast of Maine compost and worm castings feeding with R/O water with added kelp and molasses and a very light dose of H&G Roots Excelerator PH'd to 6.5. Now I am not sure if RE is organic but it smells like it haha. I will find out what's in it but regardless I will use it in my young mother plants and clones later on. I use a large 100ml syringe to feed with and once every other day I give them 80ml of water each then on opposite days they get 60ml of feed. There is a heat mat under cardboard keeping bottoms of pots warm. Lights are on 24/7 so temps stay at 75'f and RH is always at 55-60% After about 2 more weeks I will move a hood into tent with 600 watt MH over all these. I am hoping that in a little over a month I will be able to start my cloning/sexing. So all in all things are looking good imo hope you all injoy the show I will keep you updated as much as possible. I have been very busy the last few months so I don't get a lot of time on here.

All the little ones sitting under my 8 bulb T5 light and the Northern Lights Blue Auto is in its final 3 gallon pot where it was started and where it will finish. Here is what I believe will be my G.T.H keep pheno. From what I see so far she/he is the best looking seedling in here. If it happens to be a male I will keep him for pollen to so I can breed my own GTH seeds or cross with something else. Here is the NLB auto on her 9th day of life above ground. Also receiving a light feeding of organic food. This lovely lady is my DWC Blue Dream I am cutting down tomorrow. So far the frostiest bud I have ever got and im using GH G,M,B Kool Bloom, Bud Candy and cal-mg+ and I have been flushing with only water and molasses. This lovely lady is so colorful and stinky It is a long shot from the last BD I grew. None of my buds are as large as they usually are and I am sure its because I have been running my room open air. I am surely going back to sealed room with co2 after seeing the difference. Now don't get me wrong these buds on this BD will weigh just as much if not more then the other due to the fact that their solid as a rock. MMM going to be tasty I think I hope you all enjoy everything that is to come from this next grow. I am putting a lot of time/effort into this but what makes me happy is I got enough organic material to make my tea's for under 200 vs spending over 600 on chemical nutrients. I have seen the results my buddy gets from using this method so I expect the same. His is 100% organic like im doing same everything and his buds look just as good if not better then this BD above that was grown non-organic.
I have more photo's uploading to my computer and when I get them on here I will post them. Enjoy and smoke on AFN :smokebuds:

TD what up brother..:smokebuds:looking very good as usual + i was just surfing around and found your grow ...."Munch"...but i'm al sub'd up now ...so lets go!!!!!

 

[smith4924]

Thanks Bud, glad to have you along. Should be a fun run. I am excited about going organic. Much cleaner smoke for my clients and my self. Plus easier on the wallet too. If you or anyone else has pointers for organic growing just let me know I would love to here it. If there is anything I should add to my mix or try just let me know. Thanks again for the kind words and rep, Much appreciated brother

TD-

Freakin awesome grow man. Love the auto/phot perpetual grow. Im in my first run at the same thing with both auto and photo. I'm also think and trying to go organic, I will be checking in on the thread a bunch for tips. Since you are 100% organic, what do you use for ph up or down? Also, what organic tea will you use for flowering? That's the only thing I'm worried about, I've seen and used organic tea for vegetative growth and seen amazing results but never for flower. Your grow is really comparable to mine and what we want from our plants sounds the same. I'll keep checking back. Good luck with the house search also dude. I just moved into our rental in September so it's still new for us (don't own yet but hopefully Ina couple years). Also will be building a new room on my garage this weekend that will measure 6x14 and will be on a 12/12 light schedule for my photo strains kings kush and sweet deep grapefruit.

Thanks 215, I am making my tea from

Vegitive-
PooGuys compost tea mix of all kinds of animal poo 1/4 bag for 50 gallons at a time
Coast of Maine Blueberry compost and Lobster Compost
Fix it soil ''worm castings''
Kelp Meal
Hi-Brix Molasses
and local forest humus with some of my own compost from leaves, grass, bud clippings and composted sunshine
I am using the molasses so that I can brew 24/7 in a 50 gallon drum instead of making batches.

During flowering I will use almost the same thing except I will use the PooGuys bloom formula and some sort of organic bud enhancer that I am undecided on so far. I am going to be doing some testing on H&G Bio Component 1 organic 1 part formula also. I here great things about it and it is just one part though out the whole grow. If it works as well as they claim and others claim then it doesn't get much easier then that. I will also use it with other organic stuff to see how it works mixed into a tea. Good luck with setting up the new grow, its always exciting to build a new room and go bigger. I too will be growing some Kings Kush soon I just inquired some seeds from a friend. Got some Kings Kush and Silver Kush. The SK was pretty good and had a great smell and it was 100% organic that I tried. I will be waiting a while before I grow them because I have a lot ahead of me now. I still have a flower room filled with plants ill be harvesting 2 every week for the next 6 weeks that are not organic. So mixing 30 gallons at a time for that plus mixing teas for new grow, then mixing and monitoring my DWC system has me all in a cluster fuck. haha I cant wait to clear out the flower room and start new and fresh in the new room. I am considering renting a 50x10 shipping container at only $20.00/month to build my room in so that its not in my house. My wife is scared that someone will break in while she is home alone for my grow after having it happen all over here, and those containers are pretty durable when modified correctly.

So this lovely lady is in her 11th day of life and growing strong. Just got a 1/4 strength feeding tonight. I think I am going to order more auto seeds soon. I keep forgetting how much fun they are to watch them growing. Here is one of my G.T.H that i believe will be my keeper pheno. I just topped all of my seedlings tonight. I should have done it a couple days ago but i didn't. I am really excited to get things going and start cloning these and flowering them out. A bunch of really great strains all organic should give me some really great meds. All these just got a light feeding of organic GH

 

[smith4924]

Here is what's left in my room. When the last ones finish up it should be time to start some of the organic stuff.

MOB on the rear left, Blue Cheese back right and front and the little one on the right is a MOB clone i took right out of solo cup and into flower. I have a SC i did the same to and its about the same size. Blue Cheese 2 weeks flower Over all flower room after i took the DWC bucket out it gave me back one of the 1000watt hoods again. That thing was a beast and was hogging to much light. Mostly MOB with a Blue Dream and SC besides the ones in the photo above. Blue Dream 7 weeks bloom.
