The yield after a two week cure was 17g. I think that’s not bad since I was pretty raggedy this whole grow. I ignored ph the first month and half. The tap water here is non-chlorinated but has a kind of high ph (average 8.5). I also ended up having two unplanned work trips out of the country (2 weeks each). I definitely overwatered as well. As you can see, they all did their own thing. One was strong the whole time, the other had some issues (mostly caused by me) but came through and the last was a runt but I let it grow just to see how it would do.
I’m headed back to the US for the holidays soon, so the tent has been cleaned (5l water to 5ml bleach mix) and packed away and I’ll start again in January. I already have a dozen other seeds because I buy too many so I’m not sure which ones I’ll do next.
On the next run, I think I need to amend the soil a little since I use a store bought soil and it’s clear the npk they put on the bag is trash. But this is easier since I don’t own a car or have many friends here who do and it’s easier to get the bags delivered to my front door from a local gardening center. I used BioBizz grow, bloom and topmax nutrients and unsulfured molasses and still have lots left so I may just add their pre-mix on the next run. But also, since I’m going home and will drag tons of US stuff back, I may grab some things there to test them. I’ve just read a lot of good things about BuildASoil, Gaia Green and Dr. Earth but it’s stupid expensive to get it over here.
I’ve been a gardener most of my life but growing my own medicine is a whole different animal. But this was so fun and interesting!! I guess as a former athlete, you always need a challenge. Lol! I can’t wait for the next grow.
They came with the grow tent kit I selected but I found them quite easy to use. There is an option to add more products. I was thinking of using the pre-mix as well on the next grow.
This tent was quite affordable so I was surprised how well it held up. It’s super well insulated to the point where it was sometimes hard to keep the heat down.
Honestly, this is one of the best wake and bake strains I’ve smoked. It also helps with some chronic pain I have from my sports days. Even though my buds didn’t look so good, the smoke was smooth and the high was mostly cerebral.
Hey,
Glad you have your pH issue sorted.
You can also give them much less water when they are so small. Overwatering often makes the leaves smaller and smaller instead of bigger as it grows. and can cause nutrient lockout.
The roots need air as much as they need water otherwise they drown.
Good luck!
@AfroBlooming420, oh, another tip is to water more around the sides of the pot.
Watering down the stem can overwater the roots while the sides are relatively dry.
Having the sides damp encourages the roots to grow toward the moisture (provided it's not too wet and anerobic).
Learn how heavy your pots are when wet vs dry and wait a few days for them to dry out before watering again.
Hey - good luck with your grow! I grew the same strain and it's absolutely lovely! And you're right... I, too, have been a gardener all my life but this is a COMPLETELY different experience... don't hesitate to ask questions - there is SO much to learn and you'll learn something new with every grow you do!
Good luck!
@GrowingGrannie Yeah, I followed a lot of growers and read a lot before attempting this first grow. I’ve prepared them all for the million questions I may have. 😃
