I really seem to get worse at keeping track of time, throughout any given week you can guarantee that I am behind by one day for at last half of it! I’ve always been nocturnal but nowadays I seem to go to bed at like 7am just because ‘I should’. Usually then I’m up by midday, 5 hrs sleep and everyone thinks yer a lazy b*stard lol. Nowadays tho I lose whole seasons it seems never mind days.
Which somehow brings me to Winter and my little batch of plants that will get me through the coldest months of Jan and Feb.
I live near the desert for a reason of course, little rain and lots of sun! But mannn, it’s been so wet the last few winters and every-time we get those chem-trails everywhere it seems to rain for days on end. I do intend to actually test the rain water here to see what crap is raining down and until then I’m far more reluctant to use rainwater exclusively for the plants.
I have been testing some new soil that I discovered at a local nursery and the ingredients look great, or at least the quality of the peat mosses etc looks to me as good as some of the leading brands leading bio products. So I am running an unscientific side by side comparison that will just give me a general impression and we will try to learn the soil as we go along.
The PH is very low at around 5.5 when ideally we want 6.5 so I will basically be watering around the 7/7.2 mark and see how it balances out. Nutrient wise, it is also a bit light N versus K but this will potentially be beneficial when its flowering time.
Rather than throw more text at you, here’s the latest little video update of how it’s been going along. The plants are about 7 weeks from seed
