Seacoast is an awesome biodiverse compost. Over the years I’ve used a lot of Oly but the last batches of sea coast I bought had a lot of worms still going crazy in the compost, love it

good to hear. worms are good! meaning to start a bin, free worms! lol

but curious, what is "Oly", a typo? ed: n/m. must be referring to Oly Mountain compost?

also a delicious ice cream company (Olympic Mountain, run by friendly folks.) (ca. 2004) ;)

Yep oly mountain compost
Olympic mountain creamery is amaze balls

crackin beans, paper towel on top of fridge tek. operation green harvest seems to have seized all of the classic Red Solo cups, so I'm stuck with red imposters. like, Ham Solo (correction: Lone Star) and Barf (Barfolomew).

I have setup a backdrop in the tent, while staging the timelapse cam. image is boring and still, but you get the picture. ahh too many puns.


I've given up editing the first timelapse video. I cut out all the dark images but for some reason it doesn't save that way and I'm ... just... done. Future Bonobo will be scheduling shots for daylight only images. Meanwhile, video editing is on Bonobo's curriculum for learnin stuff.

CSI/Humboldt - Grippy Socks (F)
Cabana Box selection

The feminized bean I placed in a wet paper towel and in a plastic bag,
Grippy Socks done popped. I checked on a whim. I haven't looked at the rest.








One day and we have a itsy bitsy sprout.



Remember when Antifa was a buzzword?
A buddy made a sticker back then for a zine they published.
It has found it's resting place.

5 London Pound Cake & 5 Power Load --
Cabana Box selection
All beans are now germinated and placed in their cups.

100% in under 24 hrs.

*A nursery tray fit 10 party cups under a tall humidity dome perfectly.

I'd bet they're ready for the big tent (who am I kidding, the 4x4 tent) just after the equinox.

all cotyledons have crowned the surface.

little baby girl Grippy Socks all gussied up.




the rest of the crew, rowdy ones doubled in size overnight. will take a full body shot mañana



I've noticed a runt and a disfigured sprout in the LPC row. All of the PowerLoads all look like smart little palm trees viewed from afar up close. lol

I like to tilt shift my own perspectives on occasion. I pretend my phone is a giant screen and I'm in a large theater but I'm sitting in the back row, for example.

I'm just now coming to terms with my particular version of sanity, it seems. It includes having psilocin present within the body, as required.

doing a little research




Stoned rambling ahead

I haven't gotten too far in and haven't thumbed through much so I'm hoping to get excited by something new in there. So far I'm liking the narrators voice and the formatting and image quality is easy on the eyes.

Not throwing shade at all, it just reminded me when I came up on Ed Rosenthal's Grower's Handbook 2nd edition, or so says my minds eye, everything you need to know is in that book. It was always behind the counter or in a locked display case.

Every other book is a variation of that book, as technology has improved, and the science. I've read quite a few over the years as they become available. Elders know.

always looking to learn

Let's not forget activist Jack Herer's Emperor Wears No Clothes. Today's cannabis and hemp climate wouldn't have been possible without that book and the research it included, a movement it catapulted. He would be thrilled if he were alive (and in his prime) today. RIP Jack.

oof back to reading.

oh! all the little babies are doing well, maybe a little bit stretchy. leafs loving it. another week and I'll up pot.

what a difference 6 days makes

I looked outside last night and saw the tiniest crescent sliver of the waning moon - probably biodynamics speak for transplant day, new moon. so that's what I'm gonna do they grow up so fast, don't they?

 

[canna_bonobo]

​

All tucked in to one gallon pots, diapers off short britches on. Freshly showered.
Now there running around the house butt nekkid. Air drying.

They are in no particular order right now, but both cultivars are looking good for two weeks from sprout.
Everything is on track.

One of the London Pound Cake has 3 branches on each node instead of two. We'll see how this plays out.

I considered putting the femme Grippy Socks into a 3 gallon pot, but that's like skipping a grade, wouldn't want her getting too leggy too soon after all.

My foot operated watering rig works a bit too well for these little ones. Probably still need to be on the bottle for a minute or until I stake them down..


(The perspective is odd, the 1 gallon pots are on top of inverted 3 gallon pots for height.)

For gentler watering, I use a bike water bottle with the nipple top.

I'll accept nipple tops into my garden.

I usually use a small watering can that is acceptable. I don't know what I was thinking... saving time? No real damage was done.

 

[notcookies503]

Just patented my total recall water bottle with triple nipples…..

 

[180]

You guys... I knew I'd get some jokes with that bit about nipples

But seriously, a bike water bottle is "just tits" for watering babies.

 

[canna_bonobo]

just gave them their second watering and noticed roots at the drainage holes... already. I mean... I started puberty hella young, so....

lol "triple nipples" .

I have a related one with a removable third nipple, aka the Mallrats bottle.

keepin' it classy, yo.

 

[canna_bonobo]

London Pound Cake in the back row. Power Load in the front. Grippy Socks, flanked by LPC & PL, in the center.

All at about 5 or 6 nodes. I think I'll Top the known gender Grippy Socks. Keeping calm and training the others after sexed.

KIS Organics Bio-char blend, water only. Looking good with very limited insect activity.

 

[canna_bonobo]

Observations :

3 of the Power Load are showing nitrogen deficiency, pale green lower fan leaves even with yellowing tips on one plant -- I haven't decided on a plan of action. All things being equal, the other two look fine, the rest of the other cultivars look fine. Either they are heavy feeders or they are just weak, genetically, and is it worth troubling myself?

I'm watering with the stuff you can fill your jugs with at the grocery for 50 cents a gallon, that's ostensibly RO, UV treated, etc.

I could top dress with handful of the biodynamic compost or make a tea. But (in a whiny voice) this is the 'water only' biochar soil mix. We shall see.

What phase is the moon... I'm guessing waxing gibbous. I think that means that more water is flowing through the cellular structure toward the top of the plant, biodynamically. I'm not attached to the idea and it's said tongue in cheek but there is sound reasoning behind the method. Reinforcing the wait and see stance, especially given that all the other plants are doing groovy.

One of the London Pound cakes has two meristems. One of them also has three branches coming up the stem instead of two, maybe it is the same one, I didn't look too deep. Fun, a mutant.

The feminized Grippy Socks is towering over all the rest, I wouldn't feel too bad about transplanting her into a 3 gallon forever home. Real soon.

I wish I had tagged the runty one when it was just a wee sprout.

They are all 4 weeks old now. Roots are starting to show in the drain holes. Next week hopefully I'll see some pre-flowers.


Images soon.

 

[canna_bonobo]

uhhhh. ya. London Pound cake to the north & west, Power Load south & east, Grippy socks in the mitt.

 

[180]

Those Power Loads do look like they want some N.... I'm always a lickle suspicious of "water-only" soils. OTOH, if the N is there in the soil, perhaps a compost tea would be a start toward utilizing it.
