This is the first week of my first grow and I am pretty excited. Have probably spent half of my life buying weed and to now be able to legally not only consume but grow is absolutely amazing. It's comparable to the craft beer explosion. So thinking about my first grow is all consuming and my "babies" will grown by a loving person who is always thinking about the best life they can have.
I got 8 seed germinating at the moment. I'm focused on nourishing and how to feed my af's once they get a few leaves but very tenderly. Going with voodoo + for robust roots and og iguana but going really modified with the feeding as far as ratio's......but also using ADV nutrients. Will post pic's a bit later.
This is indeed an exciting time and I would love to have "Cannabis Cup Winner" crossed off of my BL!!!!!
So day 3 and finally got more nutrients in. Along with some chemistry grade droppers to measure out my nutrients. Kind of gonna micro-dose through the veg and get as much bang for my buck off these two strains. I went with straight planting for the Hellfires but the Green Cracks germinating the sets and adding drops of Voodoo + to the roots for larger roots b4 i give them their home.
Once they hit the pots I'm gonna go with the Voodoo+ and OGV, Ancient and B-52 probably .6ml/liter to get them into uptake mode and that will be kind of a intro.
On another note my tent maintenance has been pretty good. Just got an XXL CO2 bag thrown up and am expecting a fan Thursday(Vivosun E6... those bastards!!!)
Going with cloth 5gallon bags and have gotten round pots for Indica and square pots for Sativa. This is the Hellfire OG vs Green Crack grow so gotta be organized with it. I put my pots in milk crates and have extra's to add height but have a feeling i can get rid of the bottoms.
Gonna throw pictures of the GC roots b4 I go from paper towel to pot........
Also gotta pick up some coffee cups.......I think having a retainer between your seed immediate soil and surrounding soil is good. I want to keep my nutrient zone away from the plant to prevent any type of nourishment burn. I'm really going light on the nutrients but need my plants roots to kind of reach out with root growth inside the pot.
Still on day 3 but already thinking bout the next grow. Definitely photo's with a chance of fully hydro just to get a good strain and some kick ass root's. Not sure on what strain yet but probably a mid height indica. I dream of that net spread out with huge buds and a root the size of a thigh.....
Really excited and keeping light pretty close and dimmed down to prevent over heating or burning my babies.
Stay tuned for more pictures๐ณ
And updates as I finish off my premier grow Advance Nutrients Dream kit!!!!
Peace and Good Times
@Weedseedsexpress
Thanks for the shipping and packaging. So far looking pretty good. Was a bit skeptical with the size of the GC's but germinated great.
Those buds popping up everywhere is a beautiful thing my friend! Looking very healthy! Dude I completely know what you mean feeling overwhelmed trying to train and defoliate, Ive watched so many different ways of doing it and its amazing how some make it look so effortless and natural. It most certainly is not lol. But I think you grow is going amazing man. Your knowledge, passion, and research really shows. As always, I enjoy looking forward to more of your updates man. Good luck on the finish brother! ๐
@Jsammy09, thanks for checking my grow. Training is a bit stressful and I've actually snapped a few branches with the tie downs. Just loosen the string and keep them as close as I can to the main stem. Honestly a don't think she has noticed yet and the nutrition seems like it's still getting to that branch so not really sweating it.
Been watching your grow and think it's awesome!!
Keep ah growing and stay dedicated bro!!
@SmokingDwarf420, Hey thanks for the compliment. I've been thinking about my whole marijuana journey and it has been a very long windy one.
I just feel like I'm at a point where I can really appreciate what this girl has done for me, Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory ish!!! I'm finally to
a point in my life(emptied the nest and kid's fledged nicely) so just really enjoying the calmness and thought's that go into growing. It really
is a game changer in my life. And the money saved, the secret recipes, the tonic's and tea's, the Volcano eruptions of freshly grown and cured
cannabis from my garden!!! I know exactly what I'm smoke'n!!!! This is the leaf of life!!!!
BRO! They are looking HEALTHY!!! They look like mine did right before that started to stretch and get even fatter! I always enjoy the reads brother, looking awesome man. Im pretty confident your Green Crack is gonna be just as good and more than likely better than what you have now! That one is on the wish list. Im gonna try some mephisto samsquanch OG for my next go. If you ever look at them the hook you up with more seeds than you buy, i bought 7, got 9, then got 7 free seeds of mango smile x grape crinkle. Look forward to more updates buddy!
@Jsammy09, so that was kind of the first one chopped.
Using that 1st 2 get my dry/cure procedure and dry time right.
That first pancake is always that one but but have the rest flushing...all but one.
Trying to get heavier buds so overdrive/ignite/Big budded it one more time.
Paperbag drying but initially folded my bag down. Was holding moisture and buds still and almost immediately fogged my jar, so went back to open bag for an extra day so they can go back in jar a bit dryer. Also using a bigger mason jar.(TJMax, huge mason jars on da cheap, already got a few with the smallest being 50oz paid $8!!!)
The other girls flushing through this week but definetly about to chop and hang.
Yeah Jsammy09 your like my Grow Bro and appreciate your comments ๐
Nice homie! Ill be following for sure as I grow. I see you like to do your research before hand as well lol. Good luck with the grow homie! Im excited to see your green crack!
Congrats to the harvest bro โ๏ธ๐๐ I also use the same black edition ๐ ...since last year since I bought it I almost don't use anything else now ๐ฅ
