Things we grow and the thoughts on it...

Early day 4....just spraying lightly with water and voodoo close to plant. I cover with small jars and spay the soil around plant base.... Thinking about my dream Advanced Nutrient set up and I am a few bottles away from my AD dream set. Got like another $380 to go. Missing Super X Bud Factor, Igniter, Overdrive, Nirvana, Sensizym, Golden Goddess, Carb-loader and Bud Blood...... Of course not gonna use all of the nutrients on a single grow but just kind of experiment and see what I can grow when I go photo. Found a great place to get all of these in 1ltr sizes and pretty decent prices. Like I mentioned earlier, "Cannabis Cup Bucket List priority shit" so pretty ambitious and hopefully with a few grows, sponsorship is a possibility. Also this is a great opportunity to learn the art of cultivation and become involved in a community that values your observations, thoughts and experiences. I often tell people this is a lifestyle, a culture that I have been apart of and contributed to for a long time.(I have met so many dealers and easily spent over $100k smok'n so to say I would appreciate some form of sponsorship would be ludicrous...right?😙😁 I mean I am here kind of showing the stuff....Did ya catch that Spider Farms picture? Or my ADV N. Cupboard? Clay Davishishhhhhh.....SSSShhhhhhyyyyyytttttt, send it to me I'll promo it on my grow, video's and all!!! Day 4 7ish: Started with really diluted nutrients. OG IGGY Grow .4ml, AE .4ml, GME .4, and Voodoo .6, again covering the plant and watering the surrounding glass with a spray bottle....only enough to dampen the soil and give a pre-cursor. Thinking about going 18-6 in a couple of days but just want a solid start. On another note, bit the mf'n bullet and completed my dream kit. 1 liter sized all of em. Probably 30 solid grow if I'm thinking about it right. Talk about not going back to a dealer ever again. This purchase is so significant and think I've saved myself about 14 grand next year!!! I can do shit again. I can buy things other than lids every week and scratch my head. Was never much of a salesman and with this, I'm still not gonna be much of a salesman. And honestly the way things are going, not gonna need to and will enjoy smoking freshly cured buds by me. Speaking of curing.... The Art of Curing. Terrapins that tantalize and tease..... tasty and robust with each puff.... pass to a pretty person pierce their soul pungent prolonged perpendicular perceptions pure pleasure from the purple persuasion. Day 5: starting a 20-4 with the 4 hours under blue ... fed kind of early my micro mix and keeping the plants covered with incremental peek-ah-boos and affirmations of their purpose....to help daddy save so that he can grow more of you for all of us to smoke... So now just monitoring....and thinking "will Putin get offed b4 my grow harvest? Got a chance to go with a bit more nutrients 2night. Thinking about the feeding before the 20-4 should be helpful as i go to uv. Think the plants process the nutrients better during the 4 under with the uv light. In the morning I'll probably go with a few more sprays of the main juice for the veg. Went to the dollar store and grabbed like 10 water sprayers and labels so that I can kind of keep my nutrient's in order and on ready. Day 6: Woke up and to find one of my missing germi's.....right next to another germi.....no no no.......got it early and scooped out soil plot. Managed to get it be entangling so got really lucky. Grabbed that stand-by pot and got to work making a landing spot for this GC.....So @ this point all my GC are going and 2 of my HFOG.....so the mystery is still kind out out there but not worried about too much since this my first grow. Can kind of experiment with the "if that happens, then maybe I can try this" and get those experience point under my belt. This is Master Chef type growing here and honestly, anybody can grow bud. But if your going for for connoisseur Cannabis Cup Shyt then your mind has to always thinking of how your grow can be better. If I were to say "hey I grow some fire weed" you'd be like yeah yeah how many times have I heard that one.......but if you document it and say hey check out my grow channel and I can tell kind of show you my whole process..... This is where you stylize your grow and attracted people that might want to maybe hire you for consultations or even hire you to consult and create and harvest set up of their own. On a really side note: growing through a snow cone funnel in the dirt that take the nutrient kind of directly to the roots with a funnel. 9pm: gave them a spray of water and gonna feed them tonight to absorb the nutrient's under the UV Blue and when they wake up start using the photosynthesis to convert the nutrients into plant and roots. My spray bottle has a mix then I keep a spray water bottle to keep it moist. Day 7: So getting hit with the stm effects of my early germ/seedling plant and found 2 of the HFOGS I thought did not germ. So transplanted them 2 their own pots, watered and covered. So the count is back up to 7. 4HFOG and 3GC.......I'm so tempted to just let the last HF germ in whatever pot it's in. Waiting for some fems so I go long veg's and keep a stable girl @ the ready. So besides that just dusted them with water and keeping covered. Gonna just stick with the basic while waiting for the rest of my dream kit..... Ok and 1 more thought....skirting my plants when they get to that blooming with mylar so that the light reflects back up better giving the under canopy more exposure to light thus better under leaf development and more buds? Day 8: working on a feeding regiment going forward. Feeding @ night b4 the uv blue and watering midmorning. That way the roots can generate under the blue and by almost midway through 20 light maybe a few sprays of voodoo water. Give them water to help with the grow, really light though. Starting to go a bit of soil saturation surrounding soil with Voodoo. I 4got Sensizym but expecting a bottle this week. I'm a roots guy a just feel that conditioning the af roots will give my better growth in the blooming. My shorties are looking pretty good. A bit unhappy regarding my soil leveling in the pots but besides that I'm having a great start. Shout out to G.D. for allowing me to document this and giving us a platform to share the love!!!!! 7:30 ish watching NASCAR in Chicago and trying to avoid any real look's. My Sensi will be here 2morrow....more roots!! Gonna go with an evening hit of my veg mix bottle until gone. Probably a good 3 days worth and with the sensi added before I go with a new liter mix with some other nutrients again pretty diluted. Day 9: just kind of mixed some sesizyme in my grow formula and sprayed really light. Been obsessed over roots so got a deal on 5 250ml 3 Pirranaha and 2 Tarantula's for just over $50 bucks. About to expire and last of old inventory so just gave em to me....talk about booyah!!! Also talked about Grease as a finisher. Been doing the research and will be adding a few bottles to my dream cupboard. So from here on out gonna be going with some other nutrients to get the veg really running. I got another three weeks b4 af hits and wanna have em ready. So I have officially topped of my Grow Cupboard with Bud Blood, Carbload, and a bottle of Grease Yellow Finisher. So from hear on out nothing but photos and growing 30% + THC Bud. I have the juice 4sure!!!

Day 9: HFOG coming in nicely. Going up in nutrients a bit and adding some BB to the mix....but not until 2night with the blue uv....just water voodoo +....roots to take in these nutrients. Got some Carb Load in a few to add to the mix these next 3 weeks..... Is is possible to slow AF veg cycle through dimming light and make add 2 weeks to get fatter roots for nutrient uptake? Day 10: Not much happening right now. Just a not on my ratio....looks like alot early but with with my mix with 3 liters of water so really diluted mix but trying to ensure that it's getting introduced to the roots system. My Voodoo+ kind of helps but again got a couple of bottles of Tarantula and Piranha coming today to help with root size and density. Also expecting my Grease 2day. Day 11:My HFOG's have really taken flight. My GC's which I germinated paper towel method a couple of days later are coming on fast but not as big yet. Just casually observation, keeping the humidifier full and gonna do some height adjustment later in this 2nd week. Concentrating on the grow and getting these roots grounded and full but not over saturation as well as getting only the water voodoo mix. Been kind of free writing in a journal that I keep and decided on 4 day feeding cycles and 4 day watering. Feeding closer to the end of the light cycle. Lights to uv @ 1am so try to feed @10 pm. Gives the plants time to process the food b4 the rest cycle starts from 1:00am until 6:15. I go back to lights with the uv. I water around 1:30pm. I do this 4 times a week in a 7 day. just an article I was reading by Steve Davis | Published: April 15, 2014 Auto-flowering marijuana is popular because it’s easier and faster than growing “photoperiod” (regular) marijuana. Using feminized autoflowering marijuana, all you do is plant seeds, take care of them properly, and harvest good weed within 50-100 days max. You don’t have to worry about triggering flowering or change your lights to 12-12. Autoflower marijuana flowers when it wants to, usually within 2-3 weeks of germination. Because autoflower cannabis has a shorter and different life cycle than photoperiod, use these methods to get the biggest buds and the most cannabinoids from autoflower plants… Autoflowering cannabis has a way shorter than usual time to develop main stalk, ancillary stalks, and root systems when compared to regular marijuana. Auto-flowering marijuana only has from germination until about 2-3 weeks into its life cycle before it starts flowering on its own. You have to quickly jam a lot of inputs into your auto-flowering plants to get top performance. Help your autoflowering marijuana plants develop their healthiest roots possible. One way of doing that is by using House & Garden Roots Excelurator…for the entire time your plants are growing. It’s expensive, it creates faster-growing, better-branching roots. Pre-treat and continue to feed the root zone with beneficial root zone microbes including Voodoo Juice, Piranha, and Tarantula. These colonize the root zone and the marijuana roots, adding root bulk/branching, functional support, and protection so roots are better able to take in hydroponics nutrients or organic elements, water, and oxygen…and are also protected from root zone pathogens that rot marijuana roots. Seedlings can be hurt by too much light, including sunlight, HID, and LED. But give them as intense light as possible as early as possible. This means you might start with T-5 high output fluorescent, and switch to LED or HID within a week. If your young plants’ leaves start curling down or they aren’t growing vertically, it’s a sign they can’t handle that much light. Move the lights further away from them, or put them off to the side, rather than directly under the light. 9 ish....came up with a great idea and folded my pots down so that my babies can get more exposure to the fan, the humidifier and a more even distribution of light. not sure what I was thinking but think this is really gonna make a difference. The dirt around my pots also shifted and buried more of the stem but not really worried since the soil has alot of nutrients. Also have been gently working the soil and pushing in bit just to have a more solid base. Tomorrow will be feeding roots and hopefully my Carboload will get here soon so i get start making these girls into women!! Day 12: Just a humidifier check and slight light adjustment as my leaves are curling just a bit. Gonna try and keep the watering to a minimum, maybe around 1 and another closer to lights off. Not really not wanting to overwater but needing to get nutrients in. It's a really fine line. Still use the spay bottle but have a 1 liter waterer with a thin nozzle so try to go 1/4 inch around the plant for root growth. Took a picture showing my stem development and going pretty nicely. Getting thicker and with the pots folded down the fan has better access to those stems making them grow stronger. On another note my Bud Blood is arriving today!!! Yes..(Napoleon Dynamite ish).....complimenting my Dream kit and the CarboLoad and extra Voodoo 2morrow. With that everything else that I add to my kit will be to either test or is a known benefit....(yeah checking out those Grease Finisher's and it's some incredible stuff from what I hear and read.) But not gonna sweat it as I'm already able to grow Connoisseur Quality Bud that makes you appreciate a quality smoke. 😃 Day 13: Was reading last night regarding the blue uv and i've gone way overboard with the 24 uv lights so cut it off an got an hour early start after complete darkness. no watering or feeding until 2night. About halfway through my 2week of nutrients so just gonna complete this week feeding before I go with a new batch Thursday night. Been thinking about the next feeding cycle and my concoction in a 1.5ml per gallon mix. Thinking 1 gallon with 1.6 ml mix with ancient earth, grandma igg, carboload, b-52 and rhino and a lower dosage maybe .9 of og grow, Big bud, Bud Candy and Super bud x... This 3rd week is where I'm not only looking for bigger stem growth but get the pre-cursor for flowering programmed into the grow. When it looks ready probably in week 4, gonna go with the Bud Blood to ignite the blooming stage. Today though just observing while working and absolutely no water or nutrients. On another note, took it down a milk crate to try and make the plants stretch a bit and reach it's full potential and lighting 1400 ish. Kind of short and stubby but that's ok. Just want the plant to have a strong structural rooting system to hold these big buds. 7ish So working on a formula for a feed 2night. Looking @ my plants and know that this is kind of strange, but think to coco soil is gett'n at my plants and I did not start with any sensi cal so not holding back. I got 10 bottles of gallon bottled waters to and mixing a gallon @ a time. So this 1 gallon round will be 10ml of Sensizym, 10 ml sensi cal, 8ml grow followed a 10 ml ancient earth, 10ml grandma igg 8ml carboload, 6ml Big bud 6ml Bud Candy, 4ml Bud X 6ml B-52 and 4ml of Rhino... Day 14: Absolutely no feeding or watering until Wednesday morning. With the nutrients from yesterday seeing where this is going and very content. Some of my leave were drooping I'm assuming from the onslaught of Blue UV last week. Not sure if I hurt the grow with that tactic but the roots are incredible dense right now and like what I am seeing. The leave are starting to straight out again and did some modest training with some bamboo sticks. On another note....that day starts 2morrow(you know the ones that send their leaders into space) and I'm almost certainly getting the Vevor 8 bucket DWC......game changer? Not sure but think the maintenance will be alot easier and since i grow next to the laundry room in my basement, easy access to drainage and water. I dream about having photo's napping that at any time I can hit the switch and flower. Plus the roots intake can came for some huge plants so be on the lookout for post on that Day 15: So went out with my gf yesterday and ran into a guy that I know that has a few years and a few grows and we were chatting grow stuff and I told me something quite shocking! He told me while staring into my eyes, "your probably gonna have to kill a few of your girls".......Kill My Girls???!!!.....WHUAT!!!!!! He laughed and said yeah there are gonna be some grows where your not quite in the zone, but thats the beauty of growing.....learning to cultivate through trial and error, chit chat and smok'n! So I watered my plants @ 1pm a nice healthy dose of Voodoo,Piranah,Tarantula and told them that I loved them and will do my best not to hurt them or over feed.

Day 16: New grow week and took some sitting time to kind of adjust the soil and plant locations within the tent. Like I said in the beginning didn't fill the pots so kind of scooped out soil to a stand-bye pot and compressed the soil some near the stalks. I got so really nice healthy stalks that I'm gonna post so check em. Been probably overfeeding but at this point I need nutrient's and these ladies seem to be taking it pretty well so not really worried about it and adding GREASE into my batch of feeding this week. I left a gallon of pre-mix in the tent and am a bit worried so kind of went for a fresh batch and tossed the one sitting in the tent.(Damn it) Raised the light's also just because I want them to reach up. I love to stockiness of my plants right now but need more height. 8ish..got a great pair of paring scissors so trimmed and topped my girls...not sure if that was a good move this early in the grow but this is where the learning and experience comes from I guess. Leaving one alone to have comparisons. Think I'm gonna leave em be for a few and see what happens! Day 17: greeting growth spurts like "wow" Finished off second week batch with a all around watering using a 2 cup pouring cup. Giving each plant about 1 1/2 cups per plant around the main stem outwards. Gonna be mixing my 3rd week feeding probably with 2morrows watering of VPT sesezym and Carbo load for watering but no feeding until Sunday afternoon. Day 18: The gloves are off and I'm swinging for the fences at this point. Watering every day it seems like just trying to keep thing moist and in growth. Watering diameter increasing and going for bottom root watering if that makes any sense. I knocked over one of my babies twice and she is soo rooted, didn't even phase her so think my stems are pretty strong. Took away the milk crate training wheels and giving my plants healthy doses of nutrients to keep them vegging out. Day 19: 7ish Heavy feeding and went up on all my nutrients to full 8ml per gallon. I have 7 plants and usually go through that gallon per feeding at this point. Expanding the watering and not quite to the edges yes but sure i'll be there in a few days give or take. Sat with the plants while watering listening to B.M. and just enjoying the expressions and melodies of life while learning the finer points of growing. os Clipped my tops and am getting those branches to grow out so happy about that. I was a bit nervous seeing those pretty tops laying in the dirt but was happy to see the results of the training. Gonna start with a bit of twine training in the comings days and watching for cal and mag deficiencies as I go. I see a few leaves looking a bit off color so will mist in the coming days. On another note got a pack of Fast Flowers from 420Fastbuds!!!! The Buds look soooo beautiful and enticing that I just couldn't resist!!! My next grow is gonna be so legit!!!! Day 20: lightly misted with some Golden Goddess and gonna seszyme vpt with AE,GI,MT rhino and b2....not alot since soil moist but enough on the outsides to keep the root zone going. Plants are getting really bushy and snipping but not too much. Day 21: Watering today and just thinking bout this 4th week. Watering with some sensi cal. Also going for another humidifyer in tha tent for more even humidification. My plants look pretty strong but looking for more roots to get bigger plants. Gonna stay with the vtp mix. I got 5gallon pot so we got the space. Didn't put any clay @ bottom of my pots so once these pots flush, hope I get good drainage. Been defoliating...smh. like trimming my hair always too much so just hitting the bottom parts of plants so that they can get air. 8ish: thinking I may need to go up on my PH a bit just to prevent my roots from locking from all the nutrition. I want them to be able to get all these nutrients in a get some decent sized plants. Not sure if it's the cutting of the lower fan leaves. Just have to wait until morning to see how my plants respond.

Day 21: week 4 starts today so going on this 4th week kind of strong b4 I stave em a bit and shift up.... Stay in that low gear and build them nutrient PGR's up recline a bit. Thinking about raising my ph a bit....low 6 but think it needs to go up to @ least 7 to take advantage of the high octane nutrients going into this. On another note already setting up my next grow. Going with 10qt pots on these only because they will be FF's so gonna make sure I have sufficient room for extreme growth. Think these will be my permanent's that will eventually go outdoors. So feeding probably last veg mix this week and will probably wait til the weekend and let em starve a bit. Oh wow the mail came and the packaging is pretty dope... 420FB!!! Day 22: Can't believe I just saw John "MF'n" Daly hit a tee shot that give's him a nice birdie op in the Open!!!! Dude looks pretty Shaggy like some type of hippy grower!!!! Fuck'n love it. So went against my thoughts and fed "Feed me Seymore" style. Gave em their weekly feeding yesterday around 6ish and watched. Sprayed with sensi cal. Speaking of which, finally getting a bit more organized and labeled foliage sprays and got em ready. 3 different bottles, sensi cal, Heavenly goddess, and Grease. Keeping an eye for any type of yellow pigments and spraying both over and under. Kind of worried about lockage so got some ph up/down. Wanna get my ph up just a hare so improve absorption of nutrients and get larger plants. This is my very 1st grow and my future is looking pretty dense with the addition of the FF's but needing this grow to make the next grow even better. Keeping my humidity up during this veg stage and staying away from any cutting for now. I think that the uv for a week has done something to my growth or maybe stunted a bit but proud of my stem work as these girls got Christian Louboutin Heels for stalks. That breeze blowing thought their leaves like "working women on a windy day" with their hair blowing in the wind!! Head turners!! So with the weekend coming not much but observing and maybe some light misting but getting ready to jump to that next level in the coming weeks but honestly trying to keep em from flowing until they get a bit larger. Maybe I can get a week 6 of veg but honestly with the Bud Blood this will be somewhat easy. Bud Blood or Bud Igniter......Been thinking about this one. I hear BB is the go to but can be very strong and possibly burn your plants. Igniter does the same thing so really on the fence but don't think I'll be disappointed. Think I'm gonna do a split maybe 4 using BB and 3 using BI just to see how they work. Things will definitely be picking up in a few so will post as the journey continues. RIP Tony Bennett......Dude you will be missed and I totally expect to see your face on a Stamp in the next 10 years!!! Noonish...decided that my air exchange if off so leaving my tent door open a bit to get fresh air flowing into the tent better. My CO2 bag is xlarge so think maybe too much. Gonna roll with this half open tent for a few and see. Day 23: So watered my plants outer zone with the vpt mix just to get maximum exposure to roots. Benn spraying the foliage with Grease and Green Goddess and just paying attention. Also am experimenting with the foliage spray and light reduction for a couple of hours just to get the plant to take the spray nutrients. Think the flowering is staring to come on but trying to slow it down by maybe a week just to try and get that 5th week of veg in b4. My plants are looking really robust and are taking the nutrients with no bad effects it seems. My PH up/down is coming today but still contemplating that whole ph up =bigger plants scenario. Also threw the training wheel milk carts back on my girls and am running a fan beneath my plants so that the pots can get fresh air through the root system. Have not experienced run through yet from watering so think I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping my watering in check. 6ish: went down on the lights earlier 2day just and came back to 1400is and plants are looking great. Sprayed with Grease and am gonna go with one more veg feeding b4 I pull out the BB with the IB and prep for flower, so thinking one more veg feed b4 we move into this next stage. Got some plant trainers coming Monday so figure if I go with a feeding in the morning and then lights all day Monday will start training to get these branches their own space to grow. So with the night nothing but maybe foliage spray and an early lights out but hopefully I can get these plants a bit more dry b4 feeding so might try to stretch the week out and give the soil a bit of time to dry out b4 this final veg feeding. Day 24: Had some light issues and my babies didn't get much sleep so gonna get back to my 18-6 with only breeze in sleep. Attempted to train a few of my branches with some 90° plant trainers but said nah, save em for my ff that I'm gonna veg/flower/veg/fl..... Looking back @ the last 28 days I realize just how much work, time, research and dedication to do this. Talk about stress relief!!! Keep's me uplifted and positive. On another note, getting the AC Infinity bars to keep my tent from doing a Hal 2112 S.O. on my grow!!

Day 30: Switching to Bloom and Iguana Bloom replaced veg and adding BB to push the process. Picked up a pressure sprayer/mister to get the Grease and Golden Goddess more involved on a foliage level. I think I'm gonna water again @ the start of light cycle tomorrow with VPT along with my Carbo load, B2 Budx and Rhino and turn light up for a few. Day 31: Went on and watered my plants this morning with a health doese of the VPT mix to get all of my soil moist this morning and have been monitoring. Think the root system is appreciating it because I defoliated and already looking lush agai Can't wait til I'm knock'n on heavens door!!!! Day 32: Just fed 2nd bloom feeding with a twist. I got to reading about how to mix the Bud Blood and found that it is very strong and that you should mix to dissolve in warm water. I have a lab mixer so mixed a liter with a tsp for a mix with the dropper when needed. Glad i got the mixology recommendation early enough. Have not really been holding back on the feeding and am pretty generous with my nutrients, so going for big results. Smoking some Green Crack right now and just hope my GC is as good as this I'm smoking now. Day33: My plants are sleep and I'm not so that means I'm thinking about grow stuff. So I fed my 2nd bud blood feeding yesterday around 4ish.....in the middle of light cycle. 3:30am in the dark they are wilting a bit. I mean I understand without photosynthesis there is wilting especially if nutrients are in the plant. In a 7 day cycle these girls are getting water every 24hours wether feeding or roots(that VTP mix gets toggled with add in's for root health) but think that in this bloom phase, gonna start feeding @ beginning of light cycle to get as much photosynthesis hours with the Bud Blood as I can so that the nutrients work as they should. Not wanting my plants to "burn" with the nutrients under that 6...... the 1. Today will be working and watching and will probably give em time to kind of just get adjusted for these next 5 weeks. I have a mix of Grease and Golden Goddess that I will spray when they awake and will be monitoring temperature and humidity to keep my VPD in 1.7 area. Day 34: So started the light cycle with my 2nd feeding in the bloom stage. Got a healthy feed on with some added cal-mag to ensure that I don't get any type of nutrient lock. Pretty impressed with the BB as my plant's are starting to show her flowers. There like dots of star's all over my grow. Have been slacking on the defoliation and considering lollipop but since these are AF and this is my first grow to let em kind of just grow and keep the light bright. Already thinking about my next grow and these FF's!!!! That's gonna be my winter grow and going to use the knowledge from this grow towards that grow. Day 35:Got 2 more feed cycles with the BB but might go with igniter on a few now that budding is starting. Observing for now and thinking maybe one more deflation but looking great.

Day 36: Feed this morning but kind of switched out Bud Blood for Igniter. The Buds are growing. My training skills are weak and I'm completely overwhelmed trying to even start defoliation. Kind of like an ok parent but don't care if your kids need a haircut and when you take em to the shop they cry when the barber combs to cut. Besides that though my 1st grow is pretty epic. Looking @ what I've been doing and seeing them from seed to what I have now. I don't know the formula for life but maybe this gives me The Blueprint. (D.O.C & Jay-z like). Observing and watching the light's and Temps. Trying to stay in that 85 degree 54% humidity range. Shout out to Weedexpress for checking my grow. All Seeds germinated!!! Day 37: Think I have been over-feeding my plants so fed them....lol yep just a solution of sensi-cal,Voodo, B-2, Superbud xfactor and mikes og tea......no more bud blood and gonna ride out with the igniter. Woke up an hour b4 they did and snatched each one out the tent and defoliated. Each one I spent about 20 minutes on defoliating and getting rid of bottom layer. They looked a bit lollipopish and getting ready to cast this net. I have some huge branches and some of the buds are starting to look like the picture you see in the grows. I really am appreciating the work that it takes and the thought behind growing. 9ish: starting some training and pulled the branches down, tied and put some trainers of 2 of my plants. I got plans to train my GC's since they are stretching. That canopy is pretty open so think gonna get good light inside canopy! Thinking about my next feeding 2morrow, which usually equates to when I get off work. I'm gonna stay with my veg base and go again with Bud Blood. I like the way it made my buds kind of dazzle into sun burst buds. I'm pretty dialed into my veg mixture and am going to start mixing in a 5 gallon jug only to ensure that I have enough for 2 feeds. My plants are really devouring these nutrients and have had very little nutrition burn. Trying to make sure that my root system is healthy so that I can get a decent yield to hold me over the winter. Of course with the winter comes the holiday season and what better gift to give 420 candy canes sprinkled with kief....these are a few of my favorite things!!!!! When the leaves shake When the Buds break I'm feeling crank I simply remember my favorite things And then I just smoke.... my dank!!!! Day 40: igniter definitely creates more bud blooms areas...my growth is so thick and the buds pretty big. Got a feeding lined up in the morning and probably gonna with heavy feeding and touch all my roots. Going heavy on igniter again. My grow lights beneath the canopy is doing amazing work as the buds beneath are also amazingly big. Also spay with a mix of Grease and Green Goddess maybe twice a day to keep nutrition in the foliage. Day 41 or 42 and possibly even 43: Somewhere but I'm in my 2nd week of flower and working this week on Igniting my grow b4 going into OverDrive. Gave an honest feeding a day later than normal. The Buds are popping and you can kind of see what the Bud Ignite is doing as far as the multiple bloom locations are a plenty. Went with the net but took back down, want more height and not disturb the current situation but have a feeling will need it a bit later to help with these heavy bud limbs! Day 47: So my babies have bigs buds and an issue. Defoliation day was ah coming and did I have to cut. Spent like 20 minutes on each plant cutting, 🍭 'n and manicuring. They are incredibly stout and stretching. Got a few more feeds b4 I flush so gonna stick with the Overdrive and Ignite. Day 48: fed da girls and went with Bud Blood instead of Ignite. Day 49: so I'm checking out my grow and for some reason I grabbed some water only....just felt like I've been so caught up in the nutrients forgetting basics. So since in the last 3 weeks gonna concentrate on budding and k Defoliation. My buds are definitely gonna be huge and ripe. So getting closer to curing and got a bunch of huge mason jars @ TJ Max. For curing along with Bovida 65% packs. As for a drying tent gonna go with hanging in paper bags. Getting into curing mode so that when these are ready I can get my FF's potted and 🎄 grow on. I want to clone a few if these FF's 4sure for Christmas gifts and have plenty of holiday cheer to share.

Day 50: Feeding today with a huge shot of Ignite to finish this bloom.....Gonna start going into Overdrive more for about a week before getting ready for flush. My Hellfire OG is beautiful! The buds are so thick and the leaves are sharp. Love the way it looks and have not done much defoliation as the green cracks. With this final ignite feeding, hoping to get my bud locations on the GC. It's a tall plant and the three I have are all about the same with one a bit slow. More to come but hoping to wrap this grow up in the next months and get the Halloween Grow. A bit spooky!!! So it's about 3ish and I'm just staring @ my video feed of my babies! Getting some really huge nuggets sized buds and when I defoliate my hands are a bit sticky afterwards. Cutting some of the lower branches they ozze the carboload and I smile like Pedro'!! Day 51: was suppose to feed but kind of forgot so gonna maybe throw some voodo tab in some water and just let them drink and get some extra fat root development these last 3 weeks. On another note getting my ducks in a row for my next grow. Got a huge bag of Pro-mix HP on my doorstep this morning and my girl was like get your "shit" honey.....so holiday grow diary coming soon with all new strains!!! Day 52: Did a feed last night a few hours b4 lights out. Went with Ignite & O.D. Some of my plants are a ahead of others so figured both O.D. & Ignite. Developing crystals on the leave and making sure to cut the lower branches that are not going anywhere. Threw a picture of my cure set up along with some dealer weed. That is only a 10gram bag so trust me when I say, "this is a game changer!" Day 53: Early morning feeding and laying off the cal mag and senszym and just going with Iguana bloom, carbloader, ignite and OD along with Mikes OG, Bud Factor X. Noticing some of my plants are ahead of others so have been feeding a gallon per plant with adjusted nutrients to kind of match what my girls are doing. My Hellfires are so pretty and the leaf growth is pretty snarky. Just pointed leaves under the bud sight and the fans leave not really big so just trimming as we go. My Green Cracks are budding really nicely. The buds sights are kind of spread out but the buds are getting thicker and growing and filling the spaces. Maybe another 2 weeks before I start to flush and get ready for harvest.

So in true stoner fashion, not really sure what day I'm on but it's Wednesday, Hump Day, The start of a new grow week somewhere in my overwhelmed mind. So trimming, defoliating and lollipop'n these girls in their final days. A few things regarding the grow to note. Under canopy lighting. I got buds under the canopy and got pretty developed, but still ended up cutting to have better integrity on the top of the canopy. Some of the plants are on different paces so feeding accordingly and mixing gallon batches. I got one girl on flush mode only because she has developed pretty solid and don't want to overcook. So flushing for the next 2 weeks with the finish and spraying on her. The rest are on overdrive and ignite and will probably get 1 or 2 feeding with nutrition appropriation. Just a light feed since we are going to F.D.C. in the weeks to come. Day 60'ish: I'm falling into the bad grow habits.. I'm drinking while cutting their leaves and only checking my plants every few days and literally throwing water at em. Flushing one though and throwing slight nutrition at the others like I'm feeding babies with that dissociative postpartum depression stare. Shyt I gotta get this done so actually following a grower that is a bit better with the details so think I'm really on week 9 going into 10. (Took my real daughter to college, funeral, State Fair, Mitch McConnell freezing, DT shit show) so I have not been the most tentative grow in the last weeks but grow looking pretty healthy. The Green Crack looks pretty much like crack on a stick!

Week 9: So it feels like this could actually be week 10 as I've been flushing this one early girl....She's a beauty and I'm flawless finish flushing. Gonna go with a few more doses b4 we harvest but she's ready. My other I've been Overdriving with Nirvana, Mike's OG, Bud Candy and Bud Factor X. Going into week 9 with strong finish on these other girls. The Buds are hand ✋️ sized and I got like 8 huge branches on each plant so already thinking about what my harvest is gonna be like when done. Also thinking alot about curing and my cure set-up. So basically gonna have buds curing all through the winter. The next grow should be done by Christmas so 2024 Bud will cure through election season and I'll be ready... Day? What's a day?: So @ this point my girls are women now and I'm already on to tha next!!! Actually maybe one more over drive session for a few but just letting these ladies kindo of just hang out by the pool. Taking lights down last hour of the grow to spray with a Grease, Golden Goddess mix so when light go to 6 they can feed through the leaves. Same thing in the morning. Spray and let them go on that dimmer light for a few then back to bright. I'm like the towel boy @ a pool of lovely ladies all asking me to spray oil on their backs. I'm getting huge buds and just kind of overwhelmed by all the work. There is alot of "love/hate/labor" in growing "Top Shelf" and I'm to the point in my grow where I'm think about of all things, "More nutrients" and where I can get the best bang for my buck. Went through my B2 like huh but only a 250ml bottle. The Grease gone. I thinking that or Canna. I few other nutrients running low but not low enough to stop this next grow, The Christmas Grow. Fast Flower, not Auto but Fast Flower. Growing 420 FB's line-up!!! That's like 6 strains so excited about that. Other than that spending thinking about the clean up of my tent and the floor spacing for the next grow. Woke up and started cutting of one of my ladies. Took three huge bud limbs, cut and trimmed b4 putting them in a paper bag to dry. My fingers smell like I've been "finger banging" the ladies. Almost out of weed and closing down the whole re-up operation. It's been fun dealers but bout ta give up my spot! Sunday..middle week 9...so one of my girls was officially retired 2day. Cut her and am goinging paper bag dry. Flushed her for a week and soil was almost dry enough but could of let her sit @ least til end of week grow schedule but said fuck it My other girls had their last or next to last feeding depending on how this particular feed goes. I did a couple of different things regarding nutrients. I dosed them well in honor of the one missing. Water and fed with care making sure that this last or next to last Overdrive shot gets me extra extra large buds. Almost start of week 10: Bout ready to flush these girls and get set up for the next grow. Watching a particular plant though that is not an A/F and pretty fuck'n amazed by it's size. 4 of these would fill my tent easily but zap my nutrients so waiting to see how these girls smoke b4 deciding what direction my next grow will go. Got one plant drying though and should be ready for the jars in another 8 or nine days. They are very sticky and big so excited about the next few weeks. This whole curing thing is gonna be fun and looking to try some stuff....fruit peels in a jar and flavorful terpene's Up early to get this grow flushed and finished. Since it's the start of Week 10 going into FDC mode on all these girls and get em out of this tent and into dry mode. Really proud of my first grow and hoping to harvest and cure goes smoothly. Some of my nutrient are low but looking @ the girls seems like they took the feedings very Stargate 2023: Somewhere in between flush and dry but picked up some cardboard boxes along with 5 cases of water. 2 cases maybe to finish flush and 3 to start the Xmas grow. I got my first girl in paper bags but am switching to hang drying. Started flushing all but one. Gave her some OD but will join the rest in flush in a few more days.(needs more density). Think I'm going 3 maybe 4 more flush feedings but after that gonna give em another week b4 the deed. Experimenting with flushing b4 the cut to see how far a can take these!! What ever week what ever day: So my first girl down and drying.... I mean it looked like she was moving faster than the rest so I flushed a week and chopped. This seems rushed and it is just a bit. So by having one plant ahead of the rest F.D.C. on this gives me an opportunity to figure out how I'm gonna fdc the others. So once my bud dries will cure for about a week and test. Other girls will be still flushing. I used alot of nutrients in this 1st grow and want to make sure my buds don't taste like shit and smoke smoothly. Been spraying my girls an hour b4 lights on with Golden Godess. Ran out of Grease a week ago but still confident my plants are loving the GG. So thinking about the next grow and how to deal with this photo...this mf is gonna be a doozy so considering giving it to a fellow grower I talk with sometimes. Gonna need the space and a light cycle in unisoness with my fresh girls in this Xmas grow. A big bitch in the corner bullying my babies and stealing they light aint happening. She might have to go outdoors...(Johnny Lee Hookerish) Not really worried though cause if I put her on the stroll, she'll get chose no doubt. Next grow in less than 2 weeks so be on the look-out for a new diary. This grow is giving me so much information and style. I'm a writer and writing/documenting this grow is a form of therapy. My career is an algorithm; I'm pretty good @ my job; I genuinely love all with the exceptions of a few. What was written is coming to pass. The earth will be aight, the people on it...there was a song made back in tha day called "Self Destruction" we headed that way So mixed that song with a few Burning Spear songs followed by some E.L.T G.B.A and here we are!!!!! So I've been drying in paper bags one plant and setting up for cure. The others are in flush so have have starting cutting leave. Got all my plants nice and manicured during the flush so that i can go straight to dry but found a few stems that actually dried from the last defoliation and found a couple of branches I had cut due to being small. I crumbled a bit and put it in my blunt.😁 with some D weed that pretty good. Yeah it smokes really good and I can notice and taste the flavor in that portion smoked.....Can't wait to cure cause if i can smoke on this one plant while curing these others propper. Say 20-30 days I think my T's are gonna shine but definitely noticing the nutrient quality difference in the smoke. Awgh man I think I this is gonna change everything!!!

So this is my first girl after FD and current cure....tasted it dried but just to ensure taste....smh Curing in mason jars from TJ Max and Bovida 62% packs.....1st day of cure gonna go maybe 10 days b4 I can really smoke and make better judgment but pretty impressed. Got a couple of more flushing and will come later but as of right now wrapping this grow up and will hopefully have the rest in dry by the end of week. Sunday funday?: Interesting fact.....when I say I write my plans in the coming days on this grow, 9 times out of 10 I'm gonna rush or already have in my mind, visit my plants and just do it. I chopped 2 of my girls last night after only maybe 2 flush sessions in about 6 days...... I know I'm using coco and the flush is usually 7-0 but i got anxious so so putting extra care in these last girls to flush appropriately and getting the cleanest smoke possible. My dry on the first plant was with paper bags but came out the bag a bit early and working on practicing patients with these last girls. The flush, the dry the cure......I want these to be extra nice since they will hold us through the winter and possibly spring. Sooooo(i say this way too much) sitting here with a almost empty tent that I cleaned last night for the xmas grow. Got some 7 gallon pots and thinking of working on some photo, already got one but maybe one more AF grow to get my Christmas Goodies ready for gifting!!! Thinking get some mason jars and cooking maybe weed cookies and brownies and giving them in some fancy jars!!!! Sunday night: Got my last plants all super flushed. A note on flushing... so I put a milk crate in my laundry sink, put a pot on it and superflushed the last of my 1st grow. They are now sitting in the tent on low lights and getting sprayed until I cut which will probably be Wednesday. Gonna push these nutrients through b4 I cut and dry. Don't think I took enough time with my last girls but getting the whole process down through this 1st grow. On another note, the Xmas grow is bout to start....got a clean tent with only I photo 3 weeks in. Think these fast flowers can catch that 1 photo. 7gallon pots with lots of vpt and B-2. and only going with 4 plants.... Look out for the new diary soon. So I got one more plant to cut and hang. This is where patience is a must. My first girl on the dry cure went kind of off and smells chloriphilish...(I make up words). It takes patients and alot of trial & error to get this down so slowed down doing it right. Hang drying in cardboard box the rest of my plants and going slow. Finally figured out a great dry cure method and have my plants hanging around waiting on the cure and the Volcano Hybrid!!!! Yup since I'm saving so much on weed now might as well go to the absolute ultimate with my grow experience. With the curing ongoing with this first grow complete looking forward to tasting my terpes. Update so of drying...still: Been drying my buds and this first plants pretty much ruined with that paper bag dry method so going into cardboard boxes for the final dry b4 jarring. Got a cardboard box and am monitoring and gently stirring to ensure propper dry b4 curing. As i sift through my nuggets I'm manicuring and trying to make them look as pretty as possible. So still drying out just a bit more b4 jar cure. i'm picking up so much info as I go through this first FDC....Paper bags, turkey bags, card board boxes, jars, bovida's......over thinking it a bit probably and smoked some of my shit even b4 cure. Alright but actually got some D weed just so that I don't start smoking my girls b4 the cure is complete. So I'm drying and monitoring but i hear with a turkey bag if your buds get a bit too dry, you can fine mist them and throw a pack of Bovida and let cure. Got some cure bags coming and think this is gonna do the trick as far as getting the cure I want. NFL Sunday week 3: Left some buds in a box with a heavy duty leaf paper bag to finish drying last night and transferd them back into jars. My buds are pretty much there but the 2 strains got mixed so have a bunch of hellfire/ Green crack in a pretty big mason jar curing. Since all this is for personal use not really sweating the mix. This first grow is to just become familiar with the whole process and getting green on the table. Will be alot more organized with this next grow which has started.😃 So the VH has come and this whip @ 180 cel has got me in a different mode of high. Clear eye's doesn't clear....sleep is so sound....tasty terps!!! Just a check in: So been curing my buds in jars for the last 2 weeks and manicuring as I go. Curing is working and my buds are starting to look and smell like weed. Grew enough to where I won't even have to touch it for 6 months. Curing for 6 months I think is gonna bring it out!!!
