Grow Timeline (28 updates)
Video is trying the bud clips it's almost midnight I will show how they respond. The taped one is the PE was a little rough on her but I don't think any major damage
Now this right here is my jam. That tent, ducking almost clean enough to eat off the floor. Everybody do this please. So,Yeah, a clean grow is a seed grow! π yeah I said ducking what are yah gonna do... π£π₯π€π¦
Keep the dirt in the soil haha
Cannabis is such an amazing plant. So many different varieties of her, a shame we cant smoke em all.
Right! Like what good is it doing on your floor...
Well we sure can die trying!
I just might ha
Race ya!
The homegrown Cannabis seeds are the White truffle ice cream feminized photos, I'm waiting to here back from sensi seed support if those were auto or photo. I just bought a 5x5 tent and excessories probably starting in a week or so. And by any chance does anyone know where to get Alaskan thunder fuck seeds?
The master kush is new I'm growing one now, just put in that container like a month ago
Mandarine Jam... LOL I honestly would pick Master Kush, but I'll point you to something that looks factory sealed in package.
awesome well then - I'll vote Mandarine Jam - Final Answer
The Mandarine jams a photo, you probably new that I got 3 seeds of those, maybe do 3 Mandarine and 3 of the White chocolate truffle since there both photos
Sounds good to me if you got the room. One day you'll get to them all. I'm in the same boat. Too many choices.
yeah, and I'm curious your thoughts on MJ as it's an x8 winner π
I've never grown it the fact it's 80% indica but supposed to grow really tall for an indica is what made me want to grow it
what ya waiting for.... soak'em π€£π§¬π GL & Godspeed Bro
Waiting for the tent and equipment spider farmer said 3-8 days. And haven't decided on what medium to use. I've been looking into the recharge self watering system with there grow dot formula
Probably not the recharge stuff it's overpriced, just curious what you use for soil cause your grows are killing it
Mainly, I use a custom blend of Fox Farm Ocean Forest/Wiggle Worm/Perlite @ 60/15/25 for veg, then during final transplant I ammend same recipe using the following Down To Earth π products according to label using the minimum dosing... -Garden Gypsum -Dolomite Lime -Granular Humic Acid -Insect Frass -Bio-Live -Bio-Fish -Fish Bone Meal -Crab Meal -Oyster shells -Azomite -Bat Guano I use Xtreme Gardening Mykos directly on the roots during every transplant. Feeds: -FF Big Bloom -FF Cal-Mag -FF Boomerang -FF Microbe Brew -FF Root Drench -FF Bembe (according to schedule) -FF Sledgehammer -Great White solution as base Then after the grow I recycle it and suppliment only when needed. As long as you keep the soil healthy, the microbes and fungi will continue to populate and soil becomes live. Sounds like a lot, but it's actually very little (tbsps) and DTE boxes last years under proper storage conditions.
That is quite the recipe but obviously it works great thank you for sharing
I'm sure there's premix's that are more involved, but in the long run it's super cheapand more importantly effective. Every time I recycle, it's like a free grow. Should note that with the feeds, I don't employ them at once, only when I see the need.
This is quite the recipe, lemme take notes πβοΈ
So many options! Personally, I would go one or two of each, that way I know what I want to grow plenty of next year. Jack Herer and Black Jack are always around, i love that sweet peppery goodness.
That's a good idea
I kinda want to do the solo cup challenge with the 20 mystery seeds for twenty bucks I got from justcannabisseed.com
Master Kush or Mandarin Jam. Iβm a kush lover thoughβ¦ Im interested in the Homegrown Cannabis Co seeds. Iβm wanting to run some of Kyles strawberry cough at some point.
Mandarine Jam and Master Kush seem to be the choice, I do like the master kush I'm growing now
Mandarine Jam and Master Kush seem to be the choice, I do like the master kush I'm growing now, I am glad I got the seeds dirt cheap from homegrown Cannabis on 4-20 the White truffle is like $50 for 4 seeds I think I picked em up for like $10
I stocked up this year on 420 as well. I should have enough genetics to get me through until next year lol. the white truffle sounds nice too. I looked it up. it would definitely be a good choice since you already have some kush going.
I think I'm going to do a few of each in 2 tents but separate auto's from photos
where you get your seeds bro
Those are from sensi seeds, homegrown Cannabis, and justcannabisseed.com I buy when having deals, I did hear Royal Queen seeds is having a 50% off sale
Reverse genetics is good to
oh word. is cannabis legal where you live?
I live in NC sooo lol
Cannabis seeds are considered a hemp product by the DEA and seeds are completely legal in all 50 states
Yeah Minnesota legalized recreational a year or so ago
mannn that info sounds good but Iβm just not sure
Have em mailed to someone's house who you trust that isn't growing maybe
yea thought of that too lol
The 2018 Farm Bill allows for the sale and distribution of hemp seeds at .3 % thc or less. Most cannabis seeds are at this percentage. Most seeds are also sold as novelty or as catalog/preservation purposes. To the DEA, the seeds are just seeds. People selling will usually advertise discrete packaging, this just means they wont stamp βWEED SEEDS HERE!β on it. I always make the joke that I have more THC in me than those seeds do haha
Last 2 picks are some bottom only defoliating and I just learned from Ribby (Green Magic Gardening) a plants leaves will droop slightly during dark period and not so much a sign of needing watering, He also said I should start removing the bottom leaves to get air circulation. For a popular you tuber Ribby still responds to alot of messages pretty quickly if you want to check out his grows look up Green Magic Gardening on you tube
Looking good. I've watched a good number of green magics videos and would recommend as well.
Lowered leaf temp setting to -2 from -4, lights are up more hopefully they gain some height before flowering. Went with week 4 light feeding on the GH chart I did add a couple extra liters of water to the mix
Thats a nice canopy for her. Sheβll stretch a lot right before flower.
Thanks Shadow Pegasus
I don't feel like I'm going to yield much from these not sure why they are both so short and bushy praying they stretch in flowering or at least the master kush the pineapple express is a photo and will go to it's own tent to flower when space becomes limited
Im sure theyβll have a nice stretch to em.
Fed 2 liters of Recharge about 3 days ago yesterday morning the MK was slightly dry by 7pm at lights on she was bone dry and drooping with minor deficiencies gave the mk a 4 liter feed going higher a little on th P-K side a heavier feeding added cal mag back. Pic is a few hours after feeding last night she perked up alot since feeding,
The soil is teaming with microbial life after the recharge feeding I added some coco to cover the roots that came up
Nice bushes looking strong πͺ
Thanks Your Dr Nefario is looking good to
Only 1st Pic is mine on day 51. I'm not liking how long this auto is taking to flower, I thought I was going to9i flop on this plant but just found a video from Europe by Cannakin.de of the same Sensi seed auto MK his grow is 5 plants, the pics of his are day 51, 53, 54, and 96. Day 53 his MK started forming buds I guess she is just a late bloomer. After watching this content creator "Autopotomus" who has been consistently growing 1 pound autos from germination to less than 90 days after the next Grow dots grow I might invest in some Autopots and going to look into his CO2 system to, he's doing something right
your plants are looking right on schedule with the pictures you posted. Super healthy! Iβll have to check out that content creater as well
Man, oh man, I like all of your grows one day. I hope I can get as good as you.
Idk from a newbie it looks like your killing it. With seeds no two will be the same slight variations in their traits so I wouldnt always compare what others did with the same genetic if both brought up from seed. That said it's always good to look to see where we can improve our process and strive to be better
Decided to drop 3.8ml GH Flora Gro from week 1 flower feed chart and add 3.8ml more bloom. Kinda copying the Ironhead Lucas formula but still shy about going that high with Bloom did decide to add GH Kool Bloom, Sticking with same company for all nutes entire grow advice is from the Strain show he says not to use different brands when feeding seems like solid advice
Every 2 days Shes getting 6 Liters and getting closer to every day watering, Started going heavy on bloom nutes added Kool Bloom about 2ml for 6 Liters. She did not like just water She's hungry and think I'm going to stop every 3rd watering with no nutes.
Pringels π
looking good , I would open up the canopy a little bit
I know, I've been slowly clipping a few leaves here and there, been trying to wait She's very finicky and stresses easily when I defoliate
howβs the plant in the pringles can ? I seen that somewhere. u growing it in there all the way to flower ?
Yeah that's a just for fun grow
I hear ya , great hobby , how Iβm doing it now . just for myself
Just cleaned her up some added a couple pics, pulled a few branches down with Bud clips and trimmed some excess out to get some air flow
I been using these 90 degree clips they sell on Amazon & had branch benders & they really saved me a lot of time . I use to crack & bend each branch by hand to open & level canopy. clips saving me so much time & tie downs work great . I have the ac infinity fabric bags with grommets to tie main stem . only problem with grommets is they rust &water pours out
Looks like itβs gonna be busting out the buds anytime now.
Crossing my fingers, for how old she is for an auto I'm not expecting a very big harvest but I have been learning alot about autos and what not to do, and early in the grow there was alot of humidity issues because Minnesota is not the ideal place to grow
this is going to be one of those 1lb autos πͺ
Without a doubt π₯π
nothing serious plants might had some lower ph watering than I'd like so I been watering 6.5 - 7
Took everything below 8"s off then threw some bud clips on. I am at this point assuming she's a photo not an auto and going to flip lights in 2 to 3 weeks might gonna run out of room in this tent
youβre already out of room lol
2 plants are going into there own tent I plan for this weekend
Beautiful work growmie π₯
no fair you got a head start.
what size pots are you using and how long you veg for ? love that branching ! how did you get it to 4way like that at the base ?
There 5 gallon pots and I am going to flip to 12/12 between day 40 and 50 days from June 10th depends on size if they double from 2 feet when flowering I have a ceiling height of 6 1/2 ft if they hit 2 feet before July 20th I might have to flip earlier cause they are growing fast
ya , it's trippy how fast they recover and grow . I believe it's like one node a day
She's drinking a lot watering 6 liters every 24-36 hours till 10% runoff crazy how much more water a synthetic grow takes and how much water hp cc promix holds compared with soil till runoff
She's about 24" tall when I flip the lights in 12 days I'm guessing She will stretch to about 48" during flower I don't want her going above 5ft I will flip the lights earlier if the others hit 24" before July 20th
Lights moved 36" from canopy @ 100% power, from what I've seen it's 400-500 par they should grow to 900-1100 par after stretch. Tomorrow my par meter should be here so I'll see how I did. I uncondensed a 2lb block of coco coir and gave all the plants a top covering. I think it helps keep bugs down I think bugs like to lay eggs in dirt. I have no proof or anything.
π§ watering has been crazy She's dry and super light after 24 hours her leaves droop bad at 36 hours, I water to runoff 6 liters GH nutes, silica and cal mag basic medium feed going to flowering feed I will drop gro and increase bloom and Kool bloom
some bugs do lay eggs in dirt. they prefer wet soil. mix diatomaceous earth into the top of the soil after you water. it absorbs lipids from the exoskeletons and makes them dry out and die.
Thankfully I don't have any bugs but I'm gonna order that stuff to be ready Thanks Smokie
nice grow BdB. are you on week 10 of veg or is that a typo.
The 2 big ones are getting up there in veg just figured I'd see how big She gets I'm hoping not to close to the light being an indicia I should be way good
Smokie always dropping the knowledge for the growmies π your tents looking like some fire Bulldog hyped to see the end result.
You using the maxigro and maxi bloom series for your nutes? How much maxigro per gallon are you feeding at this stage?
DE is definitely good and it works, but only if it's dry. if it gets wet it'll clump up, losing its ability to suck moisture and lacerate the bugs. it'll work once it dries again you may have to break up the clumps to spread it out
using the flora series
I was stoned I know bugs like dirt to lay eggs I think covering the soil with coco coir keeps bugs down
The Cannabis Bible is a good read. I found the 4th edition free to download from
https://justcannabisseed.com/free-cannabis-pdf-downloads/
Had to hook up my tent heaters it's getting down to the 40's at night and 60 in the day, Minnesota is cold
The VPD reading i don't follow on the Spider Farmer controller cause there is no leaf offset i use the AC infinity humidifier which hasn't done me wrong but they don't match
Good call out on the book download. More knowledge never hurts! Plants looking great growmie!
I tell everyone to read one of the Bibleβs . when I started out there was hardly anything except ed rosenthal & Mel franks book came out in early 80βs & that was game changer. I was fortunate that my great uncle had cannabis &tomoto farm so I learned a lot . U will find your own grow style . looks really good π
That's a jungle! Very nice!
hey is that 2 liter hanging are u making co2
yeah I also have a co2 box on the floor from autopots
how do u make it in the 2 liter how much are does it cover
the 2 liter tnb thing i don't think did anything it was like 30 on Amazon and all I think it is cheap yeast and baking soda
ok i got an exhale bag it should b about used up or at least after this grow it will
Put a few buds that are not harvest ready just to try it out, supposed to reduce complications with traditional drying and only 96 hours of dry time before curing in jars. 3 weeks till expected harvest date for this strain may wait longer for the more relaxed high with higher % of amber trichomes
man, I beg you to stay patient. the most critical part of this whole process is drying and curing. stick to the traditional way.... it may take quicker to dry, but you're gonna lose a lot of your terps.. maybe do a side by side comparison???? either way, man, your plants look fantastic, brother
That's why im testing it out first, I have heard a few good things about this figured worth a shot, have you heard anything bad about the herbs now one?
I'll be interested in how this performs. Was looking into this before I decided to go the DIY route. Only concern I had was the lack of temperature control.
It says somewhere they set the temp for Cannabis and purposely made it so you can't adjust it, I think it set lower than most dehydraters that people use for other things
you can try it but it looks like a food dehydrator. you would be better off getting one of the hanging basket type drying racks and hanging in the coat closet, or the coolest place in your house. the longer the drying the better imo. if itβs done faster than 7-8 days itβs too fast. 10 days is nice, 2 weeks would be ideal.
Yeah wasn't concerned with the temp from the dehydrater more the ambient temp of the room. Dehydrators are not sealed and unless it's blowing cold air to cool the area there could be a risk of loss of terps from the room temperature. That was more my concern regarding temp control
It a special modified dehydrator that runs cooler so it can be used for cannabis and herbs. I'm with ya on the slow dry . I'm planning on a 2 week dry when I test the DIY drying chamber
Im skeptical to, I was really high watching you tube videos and now I have a dehydrater I got so much useless stuff, I hope this isn't another 250 mistake lol oh well
oh ok. I was thinking it was just blowing air. but it must have a cooling device in it for that kind of money. it might work out really well for you, I hope it does. unfortunately (or fortunately) I think you are going to have wayyy to much weed to fit in that thing lol
Iβm going to build me one. my biggest question is how much can it fit? because I think I will need 2, or get the tall wine cooler.
You probably need two. people are getting around a pound wet trimmed into a unit. If you Google "rollitup DIY cannatrol" youll find an 80+ page discussion that covers just about everything related to these setups. A dual zone could potentially be an option but you'd either have to cut and turn it into a single zone or get multiple controllers and dehumidifiers to control each seperate zone
cool how much one cost ? I was on root nerds site the other day they make something similar to the cannakan they are available too !!! unlike canna kan everyone wAnts one
Bulldog, you should return and get money back. that thing is a scam. $200 for a dehydrator is a bit much. it doesnβt cool, just a low temp dehydrator. hang them up. if the dehydrator worked everyone would have one. trying to look out for you. buy a co2 tank setup instead. βοΈ
The front 4 master kush are coming along as expected i know I flipped way early, The master kush in the back left and the pineapple express in the back right are beautiful to me. I probably have defoliated a hefty bag of leaves in the last week and its a jungle still. Thinking of just stripping all fan leaves still undecided but have been trying to open up light to lower bud sites
Jungle or not, looking good bro.
Probably a good 10 hours defoliating the last week. Finding alot of little stuff that's not going to amount to anything and chopping it off.
great looking canopy . excellent job. nice when all that hard work pays off π
you missed a spot in that tent
the back 2 plants i think I did ok with the front four i wish I had more time to have veged, signing a lease starring in October so I want to be be harvested in September week 9 im guessing
you got some talent man. I got the talent for cooking but trying to dip my foot in this world as a hobby for retirement.
Get it... Aint got no space to waste!
I been posting alot but been busy, the leaves grow back faster than I can defoliate. Buds have falling all over been working the nets to keep them up. Been clearing pit dense spots and opening up lightning to lower bud spots has helped the smaller bud terminals alot.
CO2 generator hose was disconnected it raised the CO2 to the 900's from the low 400-500 in my house not sure how long it was unplugged just glad I found it
Giving me some garden envy with that CO2 and nice sized tent πΏ
The CO2 generator from autopots isn't that expensive a little more than 100 but for me its working. I tried the exhale bag and the tnb bottle and didn't do anything the co2 generator from autopot I get 300 to 400 increase
I'll have to get a CO2 meter and see what I'm getting currently and look into the auto pot branded one your using. My tent is close to my water heater and hvac system and I have a suspicion it is increasing the CO2 the plants are getting from the pilot lights burning the natural gas.
She's the back left i have pushed her hard with nutes the whole grow with no problems I feel the finish line approaching
few pound there mate shit looks fire nicely done. mine went to shit.. yeilds looking like only pound when finished I fucked up to use to organics.
what do you do with all of that
beautiful tent! looking good
Chopped on Monday 1/2 dry trimmed been trimming alot. got 96g in the herbs now dryer the pineapple express i did in the herbs now has been curing with 62% boveda terpine packs the weed is not bad I have another qp of that so far people like it, gives the munchies bad good for people during chemo
Congrats on the harvest!! those are some fat buds.
Learned alot from this grow 1 plant 500 + grams started around 4-20. 4 plants same seed pack started 45 to 50 days later I don't think will be be more than 500g combined so for photos for a bigger yield in half the space but longer time. I flipped all the 5 plants from veg same time so my concussion is have patience and yield will be higher i will probably harvest 2 times a year per tent with photos. Autos maybe 3 but overall I prefer photos to smoke though, I am smoking some GG#4ΓSamSquatch OG it's stoney.
Im so glad to not water sometimes 2 gallons a day growing in coco or peat or whatever hillbilly hydro system takes commitment i pushed this plant sometimes to 2.4 ec during peak flower, CO2 generator was pushing between 1000 to 1200 ppm without I was between 420 to 500 ppm of CO2. I pushed the lights high 1200 ppfd? at end of stretch i should have dimmed sooner i had the lights at 90% starting flower did drop to 60% to 700-900 ppfd because some light burn on buds lost maybe 1/2 oz to light burn but a 500g yield on 1 plant is good with me.
Prayers for all my growmies grows π
I'm all over here, happy with my 3.5 Zs off my auto. My gromie here is pulling down a lb+ like its Tuesday! π ABSOLUTE π₯π₯ BTWs
kick azz BDπͺπΌππ²
looks good man!
I'm wondering who the master is here? She seems to be the one all tied up π«£
Your 100% right, it's supposedly a pure indica a cross between an Afghan kush and I think a Pakistani kush it's been bred a long time a 2004 European Cannabis club winner, I think Amsterdam was the country I'm really stoned so I might not be fully sure
That actually sounds pretty delicious right now, so... wicked baked myself so it all makes sense... π
