I am new to the site so this diary is starting towards the end. It is my first indoor grow and alot of fun.
Watering 5g of Bloom Baby Bloom every 2nd or 3rd day
Top dressed with chicken soil 2 weeks ago
I added some JR pics since folks seem to be interested that variety. It is my favorite too for whatever reason.
The Marty McFly is some sort of weird, 5 point leaves but built like an indica
I will have some more pics tonight.
It is getting a bit cold and dry in the tent. I think I let the ladies get a bit parched this weekend.
Thanks for the advice GD, I switch to water only for the ladies that are turning
I can use some help on this one. I am pretty new. The variety is called Hawaiian Staycation. It has done well and we are in the last week or so of flowering. It got a bit dry in the tent and the leaves really yellowed. I plan on harvesting next week, should I be concerned?
I am using 10 gallon pots on this grow with a mix of soils including some from the chicken coop (aged). As a new grower I see a lot of advice to go smaller. To me larger systems are more stable, am I off?
As long as you veg the plant long enough to fill the pot out with its root then your all good 💪 pot size is preference. I use 3 gallon on auto flowers cause of the shorter veg times. Then 5 gallon pots with plants veg for roughly 2 months or 7 gallon for 3 months. Good Luck Bro 💪
We have chickens and ducks which provide all kinds of poop. I have a pile I use to age it for about a year. It is a mix of poo, oyster shell and broken down leaf mulch. I am not sure exactly what it adds as for as nutrients. Does anyone have a guess?
Chicken manure is the feces of chickens used as an organic fertilizer, especially for soil low in nitrogen.[1] Of all animal manures, it has the highest amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.[2] Chicken manure is sometimes pelletized for use as a fertilizer, and this product may have additional phosphorus, potassium or nitrogen added.[3] Optimal storage conditions for chicken manure include keeping it in a covered area and retaining its liquid, because a significant amount of nitrogen exists in the urine.[4]
Fresh chicken manure contains 0.5%[5] to 0.9% nitrogen,[6] 0.4%[4] to 0.5% phosphorus,[5] and 1.2% to 1.7 %potassium.[5] One chicken produces approximately 8–11 pounds of manure monthly.[6] Chicken manure can be used to create homemade plant fertilizer.[6]
Oyster shells are useful for your garden. Their calcium content helps to balance soil pH levels, improves nitrate uptake, aids enzyme formation and strengthens plant cell walls
Leaves are a significant source of nutrients such as Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium.
The HS is really turning yellow and freaking me out a bit even though it is normal. Im hoping the trichomes turn soon.
I chopped a bunch of the yellow fan leaves on the HS and cannot believe how different it looks! I didnt wear a glove and now my fingers are stuck together. Typing this has been slow.
Everything else is going well. It has been very dry which has been challenging.
1st harvest ever. What a big producer. I will follow up with more details in the diary but the volume of large, heavy and sticky colas from one plant was far beyond my expectation. The scent is pine, sugary and citrus heavy at time of harvest.
Into the second day of drying and things are tightening up and spacing out. Im excited to see how it ends up.
I did my last trim, one more night and into the jars we go.
This one plant was more than I was hoping for in total for my first tent grow. I think I had beginner's luck, low expectations, some good genetics and great weather. My tent is an unconditioned garage so outside temps make a difference. Things turned cool at the right time. I am going with the same method in my next grow so we will see what works twice...10g pots, chicken manure and dutch nutrients. I will update with weights soon, trimming is almost done. Thanks!
Buds are a week into curing and it is a really sweet smooth smoke, very stone. Buds took a bit to dry as they were thick sticky
The dry harvest break down is 75g of really nice buds sized between a big pill bottle and an inch across (that is around 43 hectares for those using the metric system)
90g of buds smaller than an inch and down to a pea (gazelle sized in metric)
This turned out great and is my second harvest ever so, 10 stars it is! This plant is a strong grower. The buds are heavy and tightly packed. Has a great citrus and ester (not the person) smell. The plant was no trouble at all and survived newbie mistakes. I cannot wait to dry, cure and try.
Drying is almost complete. Im trimming and curing in the next day or two. I will post some close ups. It has some nice color.
I still have half the stalks to trim and all the leaf clean up to go
Buds are a week into curing and it is a really sweet smooth smoke, very stone. Buds took a bit to dry as they were thick sticky
The dry harvest break down is 68g of really nice buds sized between a remote control and an inch across (that is around 43 hectares for those using the metric system)
91g of buds smaller than an inch and down to a pea (gazelle sized in metric)
It looks like a light cycle issue in the last 2 weeks of flowering forced it to hem. Luckily, it was in a small area and I harvested right after w/o realizing it. I have seeds in a few buds next to each other but the other 97% of the plant is seed free. I think I got lucky.
After looking at my tent after harvesting the marty and JR, I left a bottom vent cover off the tent a month or more ago and I think that is what caused the lower branch by the vent to herm.
Beautiful plant with an amazing scent and color. Has an alpine musky smell that is hard to describe and unique. A little different than most of the other kids.
It was an orphan I received out of cycle and resulted it in never leaving an @ 1/3 gallon pot. Im happy with the results considering the path and would love to find and try it again.
The alpine musk smell is very pungent for the amount of flower
I will try this one again. I fought the BT and HS from crowding it as best as I could but the JR still got screwed on side light.
The odor is incredible citrus and sweet like after it rains not candy
@Lucky2Times, All I was able to find was that it was a strain from a drop released by Twisty’s Seeds based out of good ole Oklahoma, USA. That’s really it though, nothing else came up about that specific strain.
Wow. The Jelly Rancher looks absolutely amazing. I am definitely looking forward to seeing mine grow some super frosty buds like yours. Humboldt Seed Co has some killer genetics. After I finish this Jelly Rancher and Pineapple Muffin run, I have four other Humboldt strains I plan to grow in a larger tent. I will be growing Raspberry Parfait, Old Growth OG, Vanilla Frosting and Blueberry cupcake. After that I will run Pistachio, Strawberry Cheesecake, Vanilla Cream Pie and Nutter Budder. I already have the seeds in hand, ready to grow.
I live in a prohibition state on the east coast, and got tired of paying premium dollar for weed, and still being limited by what black market dealers happen to have on hand, so I decided to start growing my own, and be my own dispensary, lol. I also like variety, so hopefully a few months from now I will have jars and jars of all the flavors and variety that I want. Starting go grow my own is one of the best decisions I have for myself and my health, because my weed is my medicine, just like it is for so many of us. Anyway, sorry for the long message, I just thought I would share. I will check your grow as it goes along and see how your harvest turns out.
@FreshCoastOrganics,
I wish mine had had more room in the tent. The buds are between a pine cone and rose and keep a nice red center. Super nice smoke. If I can grow anyone can grow it.
@FreshCoastOrganics, Thanks! I have a few friends who are growing it as well (a few weeks ahead of me) so far everyone is having real good luck with this strain.
Hey there thanks for checking out my diaries. You are killing it on the grows and your plants are beautiful. Looks like you will be enjoying connoisseur bud without having to pay the insane prices.
CHEERS!!!
