Update First actual flower entry but they’ve been on 12/12 for a couple of weeks now I just didn’t think they were actually sexually mature so added an extra veg week entry. All starting to get there now, starting to get all hairy and actually look like they are flowering! I was made aware that I actually could have made the lollipopping and defoliation more effective by doing it twice. Once on day 21 and then again on day 42. It was a tip I heard on the dude grows show from guru so I thought I’d give it a go. He’s very into crop steering so I am assuming he has his timings on point. It’s a little harder to do it on a specific days with autos because they obviously decide for themselves how long they would like to veg, it therefore makes doing it on day # whatever of flower almost impossible. I will go back in at the end of this week and just tidy up the bits that have grown since I defoliated a little early. I’ll also try and go in on day 42 - depending on how big - and impossible to manoeuvre, they are lol I had some really good news from Hoku seed company. I heard an interview with the owner on dude grows show and I piqued my interest. I obviously started a project where I wanted to grow some CBG and maybe other more ‘novel’ cannabinoid strains of cannabis. Well hemp I guess but it really is the same thing. Anyway I reached out asking if I could buy less than 30 seeds as I’m not a farmer, simply a home grower. They emailed back and were REALLY nice. I explained the health problems I face and why I thought CBG might help me and I asked his opinion on the matter. He said he would be happy to send me some tester seeds if I document them for him and send him my annecdotal evidence for how it has helped me. Something I heard him talking about on the podcast that I found interesting was the idea of finding plants that not only have high CBG content but a 1:1 or 2:1 CBD:CBG and even some with THCv. It all sounds very interesting and I’m happy he has agreed to send me some seeds to grow. I have also now ordered my genetics from sweet seeds. I ended up going for the one iv wanted to grow for nearly two years - Tropicanna punch and then I also decided to go for NYC Diesel. I was SO HAPPY they actually have a gassy strain as I was struggling to decide which diesel I wanted by which breeder. I also went for Chem Beyond Diesel (CBD) which is something between a 1:1 and 1:3? I think. Something like that. At most, equal parts and at least a quarter THC so that will be interesting. I will be really interested to see how adding both CBD and CBG into my current regime will alter my mental health. Not entirely sure on which consumption method I will choose but will cross that bridge when I come to it. I was thinking of doing an auto in with them but I’ll probably just use the space for something that will yield better now. I kind of forgot to update this diary so the next one will be later or tomorrow.
