Let the good times grow

Hey everyone, Hope all is well, it's been awhile but it's good to be back. All our plans changed because we bought another house and we're revovating the whole thing, so no holidays this summer, maybe next year😏.. Anyways, back to the important stuff, I planted 6 auto seeds directly in the dirt, under a dome, in the greenhouse,and 4 popped. Two Pink Grapefruit from ShortStuff seeds, one Original Skunk from FastBuds and one A.K 2.0XL(tri-leaf) from the Ganja Farmer. Not to sure about exact dates, but the beginning of June is where I'm leaning because I used a heat mat under the dome and I had to have a heater running in the greenhouse just to keep it above 15c at night. I have the inkbird plugged in and set so the fan comes on when temps hit 21c and these girls have just taken off and are loving life and growing like crazy💪. First time for me, starting autos outside directly in soil, I didn't soak them overnight or put them in papertowel, just directly in soil in little containers and watered with Seed and Root from Dutch Sciences for 10-12 days after they popped, then transplanted( with a sprinkle of Great White on the roots) them into 5gal. fabric pots. The soil I used was Sunshine mix #4, some worm castings, some Dr. Maryjane beneficials and some Gaia Green 4-4-4, then fed them just water until they started to flower. Once flowering began I started using Bloom Baby Bloom from Dutch Sciences with a little Cal-Mag(D.S), then I added some organic Bloom Booster from Big Cannahuna nutrients after flowering was well established, so far so good!!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT SUMMER👍. Smok'em if you got'em!!!!

Hey everyone, hope all is well, Everything is good here. The weather has been decent, lots of sun and high temps of 30-35c in the day and 15-20c at night, got some rain yesterday, first time in a couple weeks, it was getting really dry so it was good to get some moisture in the ground and to help with some of the fires that are close by. All the plants are doing amazing, the stretch has finally stopped, their in full flower mode, loving life and getting super sticky😍. The only one that doesn't smell is the Original Skunk, but the other 3 have a super powerful lemony, citrus smell, hits you like a punch in the face when I open the greenhouse door first thing in the morning, gotta love it!!! As far as food goes, I'm giving strictly water twice and then food, with this heat I've been giving 2-3 liters of water everyday and on the third day I mix in the feed, Bloom Baby Bloom(Dutch Sciences) at 5mL/L, Big Cannahuna Organic Bloom Booster at 1mL/L and I use Cal-mag at .25mL/L (Dutch Sciences) once a week. I made a couple mistakes in the last post, some of the pics were mixed up and I said that I was growing in 5 gal. fabric pots, actually the plants are in 3gal.(12L) fabric pots, I got it all sorted out and everything is good to GROW!!!! Thanks for stopping by the garden👊, see you in a week with another update..

Another week of amazing growth, Crazy!! I've kept the feed schedule the same, two plain waterings then one with food, they've slowed down on their intake a bit, but their still drinking up a gallon(4L) every two days except for the A.K 2.0, she drinks a gal. every three days.Starting with the A.K, this plant got pretty big, around 3 feet(90cm) tall, she's super sticky with a very lemon/skunk smell, biggest one that I've grown so far, very happy with this plant. Pink Grape Fruit#1, topped this plant just before flowering started and used some plant benders to spread out the branches a bit, she stayed short and compact, around two feet(60cm) tall with some very nice rock hard buds that make you sticky right up to your elbows😉 as soon as you touch the plant. The Original Skunk, this plant got huge, over four feet(120cm) tall, the bud size is a little behind the other three plants but it's catching up very quickly. She's not very frosty yet, but the smell is very sweet and a little bit floral, kinda weird for a skunk strain but I'll take it. We have a ways to go so the smell might change a bit, was really hoping for that strong skunk smell. Now, Pink Grape Fruit #2, Amazing plant, a little over three feet(90cm) tall and well on it's way to producing a foot long(30cm) main cola😋, It's stinky, sticky, very healthy 💪 and loving life in the greenhouse, one of my nicest auto's so far, couldn't be happier. All four plants are doing extremely well, they have some minor bug damage(flippin' grasshoppers), but nothing to worry about, the temps have been going down a little, highs of 20-25c during the day and 10-15c at night with a bit of rain in the last few days, but the forecast for the next few days is looking good👍.. Thanks for stopping by the garden, Smok'em if you got'em.

Another week just flew by, I've been really busy with the renos to our new house, every room is painted except the kitchen which we primed today, paint tomorrow, new cabinets and counter top should be in next week. I framed all the walls in the basement, laundry, two closets, bath and spare bedroom/GROWROOM😀 and had the electricians wire everything and give me a dedicated 20amp receptacle in the growroom, no worries about blowing any breakers 👍and I get to hang drywall this week sometime😵. Can't wait to get everything set-up and get some beans planted again, hoping to start at the end of Oct. beginning of Nov.. All four plants are doing AMAZING💪, the buds all have a thick and sticky layer of frost, the smells are incredible and the growth is noticable everyday. A few of the leaves are starting to change colour a bit, so the end is in sight, probably a few weeks left before I harvest these plants and I'm thinking the Shunk will be last. Hope all is well, Thanks for stopping by the garden👊👊.. Here's a few pics.

So, I found some mold this past week😡, not much I could do about it, chopped out the mold, let the plants dry out and harvested a bit early😵. I still ended up with some very nice herb, super sticky with a very almost overpowering citrus smell. Sorry I don't have any weights because all my stuff is packed away, even my drying tent is in a box somewhere so my herb is hanging in a closet in the basement drying, the whole house smells GREAT!!! P.G #1 had the most mold, I had to chop off a good 1/2 ounce probably, P.G #2 didn't hardly have any, just a few little spots here and there, we checked very carefully and probably cut out a few grams😑.The main cola on #2 was really big (right around a foot long 😍), just not very dense, kinda leafy, but loaded with frost and the mold was near the bottom so not much harm done.I'm a little disappointed but it coulda been alot worse, so live and learn and try try again!!!!

This plant was a pleasure to grow, very easy, started off kind of slow and then took off and never looked back. 0 mold, 0 deficiencies, 0 troubles, this plant grew rock hard dense nuggets on the med-lrg to lrg size with a ton of sugar and a very weird floral smell, not bad just kinda weird. Overall I'm very happy with this plant and will definately grow again outside, it really seemed to thrive in the greenhouse with all the temp. fluctuations and humidity changes, this plant loved life from day #1. She's hanging in the closet, drying will take 8-10 days I'm thinking and then I'll let you know how the smoke is with a little cheater puff before it goes in the jar for a month or so. Thanks for stopping by👊👊.. Smok'em if you got'em..

Hey everyone, hope all is well. This plant, the A.K 2.0XL from the Ganja Farmer is growing strong, still really green with not alot of fade happening yet so I think she'll need a least one more week possibly two. She's staying very healthy so far without any major issues. Had some spider mites that I noticed last week so I chopped off the infected spots which were very low on the plant, down near the bottom on some of the smaller buds and then I sprayed along the bottom of the plant and the pot with a vinegar-water solution and they seem to be all gone. The plant smells like you just peeled a lemon and if you touch it the smell just clings, so don't touch your plants and go to the grocery store, people notice right away😬..

This is my third time growing this strain and it looks like it got better every time. I'm really happy with the way this plant grew, especially outside,lots of varibles in the greenhouse and she took them all in stride, didn't skip a beat and produced some nice buds .Big shout out to the guys/girls at the Ganja Farmer for supplying the seed for this post, I highly recommend this strain and if you like a good sativa, give it a try!! Thanks for stopping by the garden👊👊. All plants are harvested and in jars except for the mystery plant and a couple of King Tut photoperiods that I have growing in the greenhouse which are about half through the bloom phase. I'll be missing in action for the next while, not to sure when I'll be back because I'm moving this week and trying to finish the renos at the same time, everything takes a little longer when we're doing everything by ourselves 😵. Hopefully by the end of OCT. I'll be ready to start posting again with a few new strain, hope everyone has a great fall!!
