Germed the seeds June 24 I think. Had em outside for a week, cuz, why not. Brought em in before a vacation over the 4st of July. Got back, they're doing well, so the journal goes on!
They're in a super soil, water-only setup. Maybe some recharge, but I'm not going to play too much this round. I want to get a baseline of what I can accomplish; hopefully it's comparable to the nftg line of nutrients. I'm going to start another photo grow as this one nears maturity. No pics, cuz theyre'is babies. I'll skip week two and...*JUMP*
Protected mountain watershed agua!! Super v soil with kelp, high P seabird guano, crab shell, feather meal, Mico, 20% perlite... Bone meal, ewc.. All into bio buzz light mix. Oh! And I put a hint of lime in, after the seedlings were hatched, because I think I needed it. It probably should've been mixed in from the get-go, but better late than never, I'm hoping. I've germed some freebies; auto Kush, methinks. Gotta get some chicken manure and I'm ready to build my superstition for an indoor run at dinafem purple orange CBD.
Spent the week doing fine after some wind burn. Tucked some leaves this morning. The black cream in the REAL air-pruner is difficult to keep the soil moist; keeping a closer eye on her. Going to start using real weak NFTG soon, at least for flushing to keep the pH in check; more lime next time.
Thanks for peeking! Happy healthy and prosperous growing!!
Pretty chill. Cleaned and sterilized my grow room this week (thanks, monsoons!!) Still just doing the mountain watershed water with recharge as I feel like it. Cheers!!
Happy, healthy and prosperous growing to all! Thanks for creepin and peekin!!
Fairly cool week. I decided to take two days leaves from the AICBD main Street. Just wanted to open up a little bit of light penetration. It also seems as though I have too much nitrogen in my soil, AI is super dark, BCs aren't so bad. pH is also running slightly low, I'm assuming - still have purple petioles (leaf stems) and getting slight purple striations along the branches. The black cream in the air pot is kind of slow. Not leafy, kinda lanky - she seems to be running maybe a week behind the other black cream. She also has yet to exhibit color, but I'm not overly concerned. She is about 13" tall. The smaller black cream is a beauty - I've come to realize that this style planter (concrete testing cylinder, 6"*12") creates a certain plant shape and size, regardless of variety. This particular specimen is about 10" and is doing well, although, slightly N toxic, due to poor soul cook time.
Thanks for creepin and peekin! Happy healthy and outrageously kola'd growing to you all!!
Ok. Soo -- bit more of a K issue, as well. I started supplementing with Oregon's Only: Nectar For The Gods. Just sips of Demeter's, with Herculean, trying to fix the calcium issue. Then, it behind to look more like potassium, so I added Poseidon (ascophyllum nodosum). SLF-100, a calcium munching enzyme (?) was also included. Feedings remained 700 ppm and we're pH'd to 6.45. I'm headed out for a short weekend, so I've got a full feed mixed up (Roman regimen) and it sits @ 6.48 (when I left this morning; will feed this afternoon (8/10)) and 1020 ppm. I may cut a bit more water in to reign in the ppm, I may not. For the WW little girls I definitely will, but this journal isn't really about them. Really anxious to start my next grows, and will probably only lightly amend the soil, and do Nectar.. See what happens, y'know??
Anywhoozles, thanks for creepin and peepin! And as always, happy, healthy and prosperous growing, all!!
Howdy, howdy, y'all!! Phew.. It's been a week (75+ hours @ work). Been fighting off K issues, to some avail. The air pruning BC was removed from the tent - very difficult to keep her watered, properly. For my next grow, I have some (popular, natural organic brand name redacted) langbeinite. It's a legit K2Mg2(SO4)2 molecule, somewhat water-soluble. I'm hoping it'll last a full auto grow, if I top-dress @ 2 weeks/beginning of stretch. Going into ripening, so, shouldn't be too long and we'll have some weights and some flowers!! (And sleep/pain relief 🙏)
As always - thanks for having a look-see! Happy, healthy and prosperous growing!!!
Pretty solid week. Just finishing up with some Nectar flushes. I thought the Black Cream smelled Candy, but after feeding her this morning and placing her back, my arm brushed against the AICBD -- holy crow!! If these two girls aren't the most pleasing scent I've had in my tent, I don't know what would hold that spot. They smell absolutely delicious! I'm going to chop the black cream 8/27 (@64 days); the AICBD I'll try to get closer to 70D, we'll see what pans out. I've got my plan set out to take me through March, which will be concluding my first, indoor, photo grow - going to be quite the side-by-side, with the ladies slated to be: 2 Dinafem Purple Orange CBD, and 2 freebies (believed to be Barney's farm) Critical Kush. We will have Air Pots (the real, expensive, ones), we will have Nectar for the Gods soil vs. organic mechanics container mix, all getting the full Nectar treatment. Possibly some Mammoth P (maybe a sample). A second large light panel will be in before the microbes. Possibly getting in to compost teas (<-- that's the REAL goal, for the photos).
.
Anywhoozles -- next update will likely be harvests and some curing, then, a close to this grow, but I'll be back like a held-in-too-long-in-the-reception-line-fart at a wedding!!
.
As always, thanks for paddling your canoe through! &&& Happy, Healthy and Prosperous Plant Propagation, to you, All!
Just getting into the cure stage. I had been putting some through the Mighty, too wet and tasted like broccoli. Haha, any way - most of this is for special occasions with friends and I wanna drop something pretty on the table. Decent, clear. Not overpowering or too strong. Slightly mellow.
This girl is quick! I didn't get a decent Herculean harvest bone meal (NFTG) flush at the end, but that's kind of the beauty of the organic based bottle nutes. Either way - I've got two more beans that will have better conditions, overall, when I get to then again in a few months. Cheers! Thanks for reading!
After having a bit of a CBD-strain break, I could definitely feel the body stone setting in. Very relaxing. It'll make you laugh at stuff that previously would result in agitation. Along with that, it sneaks in - a decent mental-/cerebral- isolation that just complements the body buzz, so nicely. It's really humid here in the nation's capital metropolitan region, so I'm having some difficulties drying, but it's getting there.
Ok.. So this grow taught me a bit. Mainly about when nutrients run out and how I will need to be more vigilant and timely with surface dressings before I really get to the TLO set up that'd be ideal for me.

The industrial Auto CBD plant itself was easy to grow, very low odor, but still had a sweetness to her. I'm very glad I have 2 more beans and will likely procure more when they're completed
@bobo420, thanks!! I have more pics to snag, but the humidity is keeping things quite moist. I think I'll have this grow diary wrapped up tonight! I've got some catching up to do!
By the look of things our industrial plant auto CBD is packing on some serious weight and that crystal coverage is crazy ✌️
Looking good in here and as always thank you for the diary update 👍
All the best
Mark..
It's great to see one of our first high CBD autoflowering strains being grown on the grow diary platform 👍
Our industrial plant auto CBD is packed full of flavour, added CBD benefits and quite easy to grow 👍
Good luck my friend, we will be watching with interest 👊
All the best
Mark..
Re-viewing this journal with additional brain-knowledge -- the potassium issues I thought I had were magnesium related, and according to the ocgfamshow, I should've upped Medusa's. That totally makes sense because I thought that the Medusa's was introducing too much nitrogen and had been cutting it down/fully omitting. I realize this error now, and hope anyone trolloping through sees this relevation [sic] and can act accordingly 😁😁💪🌱👍🤘
