Jane (first grow) Strain- Blue Jack

@Growing_With_Friends, yeah I find it really cool to watch them grow and evolve over time and they grow up so fast unlike kids, these ones don’t talk back 🤣 What kind of light did you get? Well if you got questions about setting up and indoor grow, I’m not the most knowledgeable guy but shoot some questions whenever bro.

@Papa_T, set it, and forget it! Lol that’s pretty much how my grows going. I just got a light a bad ass light so I have to get my indoor set up going. That’s where the challenge is, and I’ve never done that. You’re ahead of me in that realm, so I’ll hopefully learn from your mistakes 😂 my dad used to grow, so I’m hoping he lends a hand from time to time. I do enjoy looking out my door at those big bushy beautiful ladies.

@Growing_With_Friends, that’s cool you got your own compost going on. To be honest up until this yeah I haven’t ever really had much interest in horticulture in general. I bought some beans a while back at a corner store in Ottawa and just decided to crack em. I was helli ill prepared with just a shitty pot of shrub soil and a 50W light from Costco hahaha. I’ve been addicted to growing marijuana for 79 days now. Experience is key bro. Books and YouTube university will only take ya so far. I’ve also learned to just make decisions and live with them, if things go wrong try and rectify and learn from your mistakes. Also trying a few different things to see what works and what doesn’t. I wanna grow it all and do everything now I just don’t have the space 🤣. Well we’ve made this far we gotta be doing something right. I also learned from a friend I had a decade ago. He grew and it was fun times. I retained some of what I learned with him and his knowledge has helped me a little at the beginning. It’s huge learning curve man. Or maybe I’m making things too complicated, I’m making it!!!

@Gerryboy82d, Right!! If this is results we’re getting now, it’s definitely gonna be killer once we get honed in brother. I can’t wait.

@Papa_T,I'm a newbie myself pal... imagine what we can do in a few grows 😁🤪🤔lol

@Gerryboy82d, I’m just scraping by here my friend. Still working through a huge learning curve. Thank you for the kind words and stopping by brother! For a first grow I’ll consider this still a success. She did make some nice buds.

@Wackytabacky_420, oh yeah man. It’s weed. There’s a reason it’s called weed 🤣. It’s resilient as fuck this plant. She’ll take abuse well. I mean the mistakes we make sometimes just hinder quality and yield. No when you saw Day 55 you were looking at day 55 of flowering. Once I flip to flower I don’t really care about how long the over all life of the plant.

@DoDrugs420, well looks like my faking is making it! 🤣 Thanks man. In actuality I’m having a hard time keeping her happy. The leaves are pretty trashed. The buds look nice n fat though. The only saving grace of my grow is my HLG Scorpion Diablo, that’s the real star here. Thanks for checking out my grow and I really appreciate the kind words brother.

@daveleetravis, yeah it’s a bit of a strategic thing to do. I make three cuts and I try to get 3 “Ys” out of the main stem. Just gotta practice it.

@Papa_T, I do top them around node 6 and a bit of LST but never seem to get uniformity.

@daveleetravis, you’ve never topped a plant before? Well if you got any questions just holler brother!!

@@MrStinky, hahaha yeah I hear ya. I do wish weed to be legal everywhere. I think once the the world police (USA) decides to legalize it. Change will come globally. I hope at least. Yeah I like the cheeses too. They’re nice. The cheeses seemto be a more predominant in Europe vs North America. It’s hard to come by around here. I have some critical cheese auto flower seeds along with some White Widow so those are gonna be my third round of fun. I have a friend in Germany who grows and he said to check out Zamnesia. Unfortunately they only distribute in Europe so that isn’t a seed bank I can pan purchase from. I purchase my seeds from amsterdamseedsupplydot com. I make an order and get a free pair of socks 👌🤣.

@Papa_T, nice! Good work with the cloning, I have cloned other variety of plants with varying success in the past but never a weed. I am somewhere where it is not permitted to grow so I am sticking with autos for now. I am already planning the next two grow as well, got a seeds mafia competition coming up with some chese plants (amazing flavour if you never tried it) and then a grow sponsored by Zamnesia for Blueberry which I havent even seen for about 15 years and wanted that hit of nostalgia. Good thing with autos is pick the flavour you want, look after it well and say 10-12 weeks later you have a pretty much guaranteed harvest - you could even have 3-4 in a tent under basically the same conditions, one seedling one veging one hitting flower and one finishing off, a harvest every 3 weeks. If you have the patience fir a photo but want to try an auto...maybe check out Auto Ultimate or something? They be 14-16 week monsters. I am already planning a 4x4 tent rather than the 2x2, and a bigger light, and exhaust, and oscillators, and and and and...god I hope it becomes legal here soon, gonna be like the Garden if Weeden up in here.

@@MrStinky, Before I sent Jane into flower I took some cuttings and made some clones of her because if it turned out to be a phenomenal phenotype I wanted some back up. Plus I just wanted to test run my cloning abilities. It was a rough go but I’m happy to say that I’m 100% success rate in my clones. Actually I see myself takings cuttings of new phenos before they go into flower. If you don’t back up the genetic before flowering and the smoke is nice, it’s gone forever. After this round of Penelope and two clones. I wanna try a few autoflowers for the next round. Hahaha already have my third grow planned and I’m not even done the first.

@Buddhakush, yeah at least you’re using something to measure the light output. That’s good to have two sources of information. I use the Apogee MQ-500 quantum light meter to do my readings. Does your light have a dimmer on it? Or is it straight on and off? What I tend to do is keep my lights further away and then adjust the light to give me the PAR value I want.

@Papa_T, I have a Quantum PAR meter and I compare it to the photone app. That app is fairly spot on if you have a new enough phone. I just raised my lights up 6 inch since I have plenty of room. Took me down to 575-650 across the canopy. Haven't raised the lights in 3 weeks until now. The plants grew into them. Just started showing signs of stress this evening so I'm sure I'll be fine.

@Buddhakush, haha thanks man. Those grows are few years old now. I just fired up my tent about a week or two ago. I got some auto flowers I’m starting to muck with for the first time. Though I do think you may be pushing a bit more PAR than you should. For VEG I don’t push more than 600 and for flowering I push it up to 800. But if you take a look at few of my grows the plants did pretty much the same thing when they went into flowering. What are you using to measure how much light output you’re pushing?

@OGSesh, ouuuf try and get a dehumidifier up in there man. Too much RH for flowering. Yeah I only saw a handful of them. So I think I caught it early. I watched the soil for a bit and they seem to just be on the under side of the pot. Oh well I think I got it under control. Spent my afternoon fucking around and cleaning trays. It is what it is. No matter how clean you try to keep your space can’t stop microscopic life forms. 🤣🤷‍♂️🏼

@Papa_T, I'm also a little worried now. My girls are starting to bloom, getting tarry buds and other sticky shit. Humidity stays at about 75% throughout the day. I have good ventilation, but I'm afraid of mold. I hope your buds will be ok, mate.

@OGSesh, thanks brother. I’m stressing a bit right now. I need this one to end. I found some spider mites under the pot and they were walking around on the pot elevator. Fuckin busted out my safers 3 in 1 on that shit. Tomorrow is her last day under the lights and then it’s 72 hours dark and then chop. Fingers crossed 🤞.

@Growing_With_Friends, absolutely brother patience is key and we’ll be rewarded. I actually still have a fair bit before I get to try my weed. At least a good month and a half of drying and curing before it’s actually smokeable. Well hopefully the weather keeps going for you to finish it off quite nicely. Yeah I’m thinking it’s quite possible that Jane was heavily underfed. Still trying to figure out my methods to my madness. But once I figure that out oh boy watch out!! Gonna be growing some real dank sticky icky!! Be the turtle brother!! Slow n steady wins the race. 🤙

@Papa_T,i still have 6 weeks if the weather works on my favor. I’m still pounding my plants with bloom and they seem to be eating it right up. I’m almost jealous that you’ll be tasting your harvest soon! But slow and steady wins the race

@Growing_With_Friends, hahaha yeah this messages system things get lost so easily. Thanks yeah she’s got some issues with yellow fan leaves but I’m close to harvesting so the flush is on and let the plant consume itself and fatten up them buds.

@Themythicalchristine, thanks again brother. I appreciate the words. All I can do is get better with experience. Thanks for the welcome into the community. Look forward to meeting great people. Cheers bro.

@Papa_T, research and development. This is a great community full of incredible minds and experience. I have learned much myself from these amazing people around us. Good luck my friend

@Themythicalchristine,Thank you. I’m having some trouble with it right now but I’m gonna have to ride this out. I made some mistakes on this grow. Hence why I’m here to learn from more experienced growers. I can only learn so much alone.

@Papa_T,Still a great yield all things considered. Nice work!

@BearBuds, haha thanks man. Though unfortunately all the main tops had to get junked. My RH got to high near the end and because it was tight dense buds the inside molded a bit. So I harvested 97 grams total and 26.5 grams ended up getting wasted. But still 70 grams for one plant I’m happy with the results for a first grow. Thanks for stopping by brother, I appreciate the kind words. 🤙

@Papa_T, all good man.

@Sparkles, thanks brother. Sorry for the late reply. GD seems to notify when they feel like. I just happen to notice the message now.

@Katalist, where’s the master? Lol thanks bro.

@JustGrowWithIt420, ahhhh man aye I appreciate the kind words brother. I’m glad you stopped by to say hi!! We’ll see how she smokes in a few weeks. I can’t wait. 🤙

@Budboxbio, Yeah so when you look at your seedling now 🤣 its much nicer than what Jane was right? Lol. I actually was going to give up on her early on. I have a friend in Germany he said no to keep her going and that she’d grow out of it. She did, she was also my only female out of the lot. So keep it up with your plants brother and they’ll take care of you. Cheers!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow.

@Inganjawetrust, Aye!!! Thanks grow fam!! It’s been a rough go but we’re getting there. She’s got a few more hours under the light and then she’s going dark for 72 starting tonight. Appreciate you stopping by and showing some love. Cheers 🤙

@DeathInc, Thanks, it’s actually been a bit of a rough go but an intense learning experience. Thanks for checking it out 🤙

@kizdog, man thank you for the kind words!! It means a lot to me to have some recognition from other growers. Yeah I feel like I’m on the right track. I got into this to be able to start up a business as a licensed micro grower in Canada. I really just need to get all my information ducks in a row and show that I’ve built up some infrastructure and prove to whoever I need to that I’m not fucking around. I want to be able to sell my weed legally and be recognized as a craft grower. But lets be honest my HLG Scorpion Diablo is the real rock star in my grow. Again I really appreciate the kind words. Thank you for visiting. 🤙

@Blabina, hey hey. Well it’s not just coco it’s a sphagnum peat moss coco perlite mix. Basically Pro Mix but that’s a brand. Well I have to also say that I’m playing with a heavy hitting light in my flower tent. That is the real rock star of my growing success. Thanks for the kind words.
