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?๐๐
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!!!
@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
