Grow Timeline (22 updates)
Just another update of the girls, looking amazing. Next week I have to transplant in my garden bed for some explosive growth for the outdoors!! Oh and not sure what happened to my Pink runtz auto but check this out! Shes literally 4" tall but the nugs look amazing on her!
The girls were popping like crazy this morning, did a little more super cropping to even the canopy out and its looking great! Need to transplant these girls soon or I'm going to be in some deep shit!
Gave the girls some big time treatment this morning. Pulled them all out of the greenhouse. Big time defoliation, LST top fed with Gaia Green 4-4-4 and topped dressed with some more living soil. Watered the girls with plain PH 6.5 water.
Ok Growmies! Watered these girls some fish fertilizer, top dressed them with EZ Straw 99% weed free and have been giving them a few hrs. A day in the morning sun to harden them off before I plant them in the ground! Any and all tips and advise are read and encouraged here!
The girls are now living the full sun life cycle and have adjusted remarkably! Gave them some black strap Molasses and their blowing up. Stay tuned for the in ground plant soon!
Going for 6-7' plants this year. I'll pull the shade cloth once they're 100% used to the sun. Just wanted to ease them into it a little more.
It's called OGBX1, it's a special strain with a great story behind it. About one of their best friends that passed away. Go on to mendo dope dot com.And see if you can read the background story behind it still. Pretty legit story, and now they've just came out with a OGBX2
Are you talking about Heady OG? BX means its backcrossed and the 1 is the first generation after the original i believe.
Yes its from the Heady OG line back cross 1. There's a whole story behind it. It's an indica dom hybrid and the Sour Headies is a saliva dom hybrid.
The story behind **Mendo Dope OG Bx1** is deeply rooted in a tribute to **Freedie**, a lifelong friend of the Mendo Dope brothers who passed away unexpectedly. To honor his memory and his favorite strain, they backcrossed their original OG cut, ensuring his legacy lived on through the genetics of the plant he loved most. This is all I can find on the story right now. When they were selling the seeds it had the whole back story of where it came from and it was pretty damn cool.
Hell yea man, not sure if you know about Mendo Dope but there OG's in the cultivation game and do for our freedom of having it as a medicine! Check out their shit. They also make rap music only about farming cannabis and all the bullshit the government tries to do to take it over!
Ok Growmies here's a few update pics! Definitely had a couple issues pop up once the girls went full outdoor. Today took the shade cover off and going in the ground this weekend and putting up my scrog net on the greenhouse frame!
Thanks growmie, got them sprayed down with Monterey BT for the pillars and going to shoot another good coat of Plant Therapy in a couple days! Gotta stay on top of it!
What a massive ass day we had today! Got the girls in the ground finally! Used Fox Farms Ocean Forest, Roots Organic 707, E.B. Stone Organic worm castings, compost and native soil for a perfect blend for these girls to be happy! Let me tell ya'll! It was not an easy job! 2X2X2 holes!!! Nuff said!!
Well its Mendo dope, bread for outdoor so let's see how these beast grow! Supposed to be monsters so I did a lot of topping and LST on them
Just like the kids always did! And still do! Lol🤣 there looking happy at the moment in their new home! Gotta keep a close eye on them for a while and hope they don't go in shock. They have some good nutrients and I used the rest of my living soil at the base too.
Hell no bro you definitely took care and made good room for them, I bet there's no shock and they'll say "is that all you got?!" 😂
That's what im hoping for. That's why I did it right. Dug straight 2X2X2 holes in the ground then put premium soil mixture at the base 10" deep. Gave them a heavy watering and just going to watch the show!
Wow awesome thanks for sharing ur setup im going to try outdoors soon ill try to do something like that are u using other plants for pest control? im just scared to put them outside because of the bugs ive read about companion planting for pest control and i noticedvu have tons of plants going so
Eb stone has some great products . I’m using there ultra bloom on my flowers like real flowers but there 420 speacil good stuff
Wow that must of been fun digging them holes that deep wish I could put in my back garden !!! I have a gorilla style going outdoors not nearly as big as yours but I cut down a bunch of trees to let in more sunlight . But yea I have a big indoor blu widow it’s in a 7 gallon fabric it goes through water like crazy
Absoluty love companion planting. Im seeding in some cover crop, white clover and throwing a mix of crimson red clover lacy phacilia merrygolds and basil. But mainly for pests I use Lost Coast Plant therapy and Monterey BT
No doubt, Im doing everything fully organic. Absolutely zero synthetics in my grow this year to see how it goes. Used living soil in my 15 gal mesh pots and now there in the ground with some more great soil! Can't wait to see the outcome
Can't wait to see these girls in October! And even more the smell of terps i heard are insane! They already smell great just not like in flower
I will say the living soil and straw as my mulch has helped a ton with the moisture retention. But with this 90 deg. Heat we've been having they suck it up!
Well Growmies, Went out to the garden this morning and literally over night! What do i find? 1 Sour Headies and 1 OGBX1 are fully male! This is the news I didn't want to update with. But I will tell you growing is a continuous journey of learning, experience and adjusting to the conditions your handed! Both of these plants were super bushy and full of life. And now in the trash can! I had saved a few clones I just had gotten from a friend that were on deck ready to step up to the plate so I threw in a Lipsmackers and Gelato in replacement. Let's see what these clones do!
You talk about going from waking up in the morning feeling excited to a kick in the balls in seconds!! But... I guess its all part of the journey man! Thise girls were so beautiful and full of life and to see them turn male was just rough!
Dangggggg! That sucks man! Did you have an abnormal light cycle occur or something?
Nothing, I transplanted them yesterday and overnight they show their balls! As you can see in the pic I caught them very early! I soaked the plant down with water trash bagged them and yanked them out of the ground! I'll say one thing. The roots were insane! Wish I took a pic of them but all I wanted to do was get them the fuck out of the dirt away from all the others!
That's rough, she went into panic mode and called the men to save her lol. Tough break
I bought them from Mendo Dope and they don't feminize their seeds. You get what you get. Im super disappointed growing them from a seed to now in the ground and they made it 1 night in the ground and showed their balls!! Lol
Yea man it was rough seeing that shit this morning, but hey! It is a full experience with every emotion and the struggle is real! Lol
Well said, I kinda know how ya feel. I had 5 plants growing outside, were about 4 to 4 1/2 ft tall, did a every two day feed, went out to check on them and screamed Fuuuck! 4 were male and gang banged the hell out of her , loaded with seeds. Just gotta keep on live to grow and grow to live ✌️
Yea every seed ive gottej than wasnt fem came out boys but i flipped early and tested them then in a week or week and half when i saw the balls i pulled that one and my fem seed i was runbing at the same time didnt hermie much just a little got 1 seed
Yea that's dangerous, these two were literally covered every branch was growing seed pods all over. They were clearly 1000% males
I know right! You kinda build a connection with your plants when your a small time grower like me. I don't just have 100's of plants sitting around! But the good news was my buddy had just given me 5 clones so im golden! I have 3 more clones waiting to go to a good home now.
Haven't posted in the past couple weeks since ive transplanted the girls. It's been a roller coaster I must say! From loosing three to going male to putting clones in and waiting for them to take root. Look at the pics and see for yourself!
Crazy growth! May as well use a ladder to measure it cause i see it at 8f after stretch! Good work J! 👏🏾
Thanks, its been a lot of work to get them like this. A lot of LST in their early stage in my greenhouse then put them in the ground outside and their blowing up. Im going for more of a bush grow this year with an even canopy
Look at these girls juat loving life and soaking up the sun rays!
I want a nice full rounded canopy but I’ve never tried a manifold or anything we mostly topped twice and cut or pull branches to the side for sunlight and air but nothing like this so this is going to be mostly new to me
Very try I used to grown a lot of sativa or SDH and I’ve always heard indicas are best for that shorter fuller canopy
Yes, sativa typically grows taller and lanky. Mine are hybrids. And then you sour, headies is a sativa, dominant, and my OGBX1 is a more indica dominant strain
Yeah it’s supposed to be a 100% sativa landrace but if you get it from cali (seeds) then it’s still sativa but been crossed with another sativa to better grow there. So I heard but the only place I could find seeds is referman genetics I’m not sure where the person I got my qp from got the seeds but man they turned me onto my fav strain
That's one thing I hate is when I find something that I love and want to continuously have it.All of a sudden, you can't get it!!
Alright growmies, just got done with a heavy defoliation on the inner and lower canopy on these beautiful girls to give them some easy airflow throughout the plant. Let me know what you think! Any and all advise is welcome.
You gotta get down and dirty with the girls to get what you want. It's hard work and yes! Back aching! But... In the end I will be getting a huge thank you from the girls when they blow up into beautiful full buds of magical goodness! Lol
I knew you were using magic! Haha jk but they're definitely going full speed now keep up the good work!
All 100% organically grown! My magic I belive is within my compost teas that im brewing with my bubbler. Worm castings, unsulfered blackstrap Molasses, kelp meal and 4-4-4! Also using organic cal/mag
Bro you have too! Make sure you get a good bubbler! I got the AC Infinity one and it gives a ton of strong bubbles to brew it properly and a min of 24hrs!
Looks like 4 plants did u cover the main stem with soil or something? cause u cant see it but does look awesome
I shuffled soil around a little and a couple of the side shoots I did put in the soil to give them some stability. Trying something new. The main stem is there but have a lot of chop and drop all over to see clearly. These girls are loving the treatment I'll tell you!
Im using a 5 gal. Strainer bag and leaving room for aeration. Tie in a knot and to the handle of the 5 gal. Bucket right above where the bubbles are coming up and let me tell you the plants love it!!
Dude these pics are so helpful on the training side and lolipop end. It helps to see the nuts and bolts of what’s going. Thanks bub
Hell yea bro, your welcome! Thats why I sent that. I learned a lot since last year, lollipopping keeps the airflow and it really helps in flower to prevent bud rot. And I love how it looks. But i will say I see some people completely strip their plants down to sticks. Im not a fan of that until right before harvest time.
I’ve not tried it yet but I have seen the strain show guy on YouTube talk/show about it a lot. Makes we want to try it this year. So it helps a lot when you post pics like that
When you do the lillipopping and clean out the lower canopy and even the skinny little branches you get very little of the larfy small buds that are a bitch to trim and a complete waste to deal with!
Dude noice lollipop (I’m no expert only done it once or twice but I’ve got plans on doing mine this year we’ll all but two but that’s because I’m doing something different with them
Dude I’ve just been looking into the tea do you do it just before the grow to get the soil ready or do you use it a couple of times throughout the grow too? And do you use molasses or honey in yours?
Hell yea do it! I just got done doing another one last heavy defoliation on the girls and watered them. Sprayed them down with Monterey BT last night.
Got the girls one last heavy defoliation and lollipop done. Setup my scrog net,sprayed them with Monterey BT and watered them with 6.2 PH water only this weekend. Boy are they looking amazing!
Yea I've had some weird ass bugs eating my leaves and sprayed them with Athena IPm a couple days ago and hit them hard with the Monterey BT. My big plants went into pre flower and trying to re-veg now which is weird. This weather is all over the place were dealing with.
Im using the scrog net to support the branches when i get heavy colas. Going to put up another one if they grow too big.
Nice clean setup, looks like those plants are loving the space under the net! 🌿
The ladies are mature, sun bathing and blasting all their pistols and bracts, showing off their beauty! These ladies are going to be huge. Even the lipsmackers and Gelato are playing catchup with all they got! As you can see in one of the small ones I did some super cropping to open her canopy up and wow does she look amazing!
I know i saw some of ur work plus u can tell just by looking at them they are big bushes not tress thats all you
Absolutely, I wanted the bush look this year because I'm trying to keep them under my fence line and its going to be hard once they burst i to flower!
It took a long time to get the green thumb. Years of having a vegetable garden and the research through learning how to grow cannabis has really helped me step up my game for sure!
Growing definitely pulls out every emotion out of you. From ups and downs to downfalls and then victories! The work is not done until the cure and hopefully the taste and smell is there that I've been working for!
Yes dude it’s worse then baseball and golf put together lol but if I’m being honest I have a lot of health issue and growing gets me out and about doing things so it’s been a good send really
Right on, I’ve always said movies and video games are my sit back and chill hobbies and fishing and growing and woodworking or my get up and do something hobbies
Lol well compared to the big ladies that I started from seed. The clones are much younger and 2' shorter. Hahaha
Lol My wife always says to me... Where the hell do you get your energy from!!?? I've been a worker bee my whole life. I love to figure things out and work with my hands.
Yeah my work buddies used to call me gung ho all the time, I mean I’m disabled now but up until I had to quit they did and whenever we are on vacation she is trying to relax on the beach I’m like I’m going to go buy a metal detector and scan the beach be back in a few hours lol
Good morning GROWMIES! Check out this AI pic I created of me chillin with the ladies last night. Loved how it came out and thought I'd share with you all.
The cloud around the leaf is awesome just that would be a cool icon or something i just noticed the colors in the smoke thats awesome
Oh shit! It’s the wizard of the garden, Dr. greenthumb himself. Looking like GQ smooth, my man, my growmie, doctor jay. I would ask how’s it going but I can see your chill loving life right now. And look you even grow a bread better then bub
Dude if you got time go to YouTube chk out my channel zerolifeskillz (with a z at the end the s was taken lol) and chk out my video mountain madness I did all the ai and editing and story and everything
What's up man! Im sorry brother I've been hella busy! Thanks for the compliment on my post! I was Hella stoked when my AI made that for me! Lol I'll check out your page
Hey been a min. Yeah that pic is bad ass. I love messing with that stuff. I’ll mess with my brother sometime with it like sending him a pic of him and a big tattoo inmate holding hands skipping through the wild flowers lol
Too bad I can't post no more than a 20 sec. Video!!!
The ladies are looking massive easing their move into pre flower stage. Some of the bracts on my sour headies already popping tricomes. Gave them PH 6.2 water only Friday and today Im giving them one last feeding of 4-4-4 and worm castings.
I'm chomping at the bit and watching daily and these ladies grow. Tucking and weaving them in the scrog watching them get wider and wider! Cant wait until full bloom!
Ok I just created a you tube page. Go check out GrowmieJ and watch my video. Since I can't post decent videos here at all!
Yea im not to good at how to edit and id like to get some kind of app or something to add effects and shit
I use CapCut for a lot and da Vinci for the rest. I recommend playing around with CapCut and getting used to watch videos on editing and I’m here if you got any questions. But for now if you want I’ll help ya make something dm and we will go over what your looking for and we can set up a google doc to share photos and stuff
Performed ipm
Happy Saturday every one! Got my IPM done, Last night Monterey BT, and this morning a heavy defoliation prep for flower to begin next month. The ladies are happy basking in the sun now... Happy Growing all!
I wish I could. Id be freaking out at every plane an helicopter that goes by bahahah. Legal or not still gota be on guard for idiots..I take your not even in us tho.
No, my pest control has been on point! Lots of preventative maintenance this year. I just go back and forth on it because I don't want any trouble. But my neighbors are cool and I keep it low key under the fence line
Ah I gotcha. Fuck I didn't do any preventative maintenance but I'm on a 12 ft high deck an I still got pests nothing bad jus shit that's a pain
Ah I gotcha. Fuck I didn't do any preventative maintenance but I'm on a 12 ft high deck an I still got pests nothing bad jus shit that's a pain
Spent about an hr. This morning with my son setting up my second layer of scrog. Now the waiting game begins! Ready for some fat juicy, sticky icky colas!! First week of August will be my first flower feeding! Stay tuned for the killer organic amendments im using!
Lots of work on the ladies the past few days! Athena IPM, Then 2 days later Monterey BT. Heavy defoliation Saturday and scrog today. Locked and loaded for August flower feed!
Yeai didnt see the netting before i was wondering how u were keeping the pest out lol now i see everyting impressive lots of work im sure but totally worth it
Hell yes! Can't wait until the colas form! Super stoked on these strains. First time growing them but have done tons of research on them and supposed to get a huge yield on them
Have u tried the fast versions of stuff i got some and man they are insanely fast all the way thru i saw the strain was sour headies sounds good just curious if u tried the fast guys yet
This looks like you upgraded the keebler elves home bro amazing job!
Thanks growmie, on my second time growing and learning a lot! Just love these girls!
