LUI Day 79

LUI Day 79

on day 79 our LUI’s got what is likely to be their last feeding . . . we are considering one more watering with a bat guano tea . . . but this is the last time they will get a commercial fertilizer “soup” . . . the original LUI’s are entering “the beginning of the end” . . . they will begin their final two weeks before expected harvest this weekend . . . so it’s time to cut off thier food and let them “finish what’s on their plate” . . . some styles of growin require a flush . . . with organic ferts a true flush isn’t possible . . . we say that in the sense that organic nutrients aren’t soluble salts that can be flushed easily from the soil . . . especially if it’s amended soil containing supplements like kelp meal, bone meal, bat or seabird guano . . . while we don’t truly flush our babes . . . we do cut off the feedings for the final two weeks before expected harvest . . . in one sense this is about economy as much as quality . . . since organics are slow release ferts anyway . . . there’s no sense in pouring in nutrients that will never get to our babes . . . one old organic adage is “feed the soil not the plants” . . . since it’s the beneficial bacteria and fungi in soil that convert our organic ingredients into plant food . . . and at this point our soil is pretty well done eating . . .

as we’d said . . . this was the last feeding we’ll give the LUI girls that includes any commercial fertilizer . . . so we finished with a flourish . . . instead of 1 or 1 1/2 TBSP of Earth Juice Bloom . . . this feeding was at 2 TBSP of EJ Bloom per gallon . . . folks may have noticed that with EJ products we usually add 1 tsp of Catalyst per gallon . . . but for this final “meal” that’s increased to 1 TBSP per gallon . . . as per our normal practice all of these ingredients were mixed in advance and allowed to “brew” for at least 24 hours . . . this particular heavy feeding was allowed to “stew” for 48 hours before use . . . as we said before . . . we may give these babes one final drink of a tea . . . then move on to plain waterings . . .
