WEEK 1 โ 29/10/2023 - 4/11/2023
Grow no. 9! I initially wanted to take this year off from growing to focus on my studying. But I have some time off in between so decided to grow again. For this grow, I decided to scale down my grow space. Instead of using the usual 4 x 4 Gorilla grow tent, I installed a shelving bracket on the wall to hold the light and blackout curtain. So with this new space of 2 x 5 x 8 feet, I can only grow 3 plants. 2 feet width allows me to access the plants easily. Also it will make it easier for scrogging on future grows. But with this new grow space, the tent a bit further away from the drain pipe. So, I wont be able to connect a pipe from the trays to the drain pipe for the water runoff. The best solution for this is keeping a run off container which I have to empty from time to time. No biggie.
I decided to go with Fastbuds this time around. It wasn't a hard decision. I've been wanting to grow Moby Dick again and since Dynafem closed down, I'm so glad Fastbuds has Moby Dick Auto now! It's one of my favourite strain and I really hope the genetics is similar to Dynafem. The plan is to keep half the harvest in bud form and another half will be for hash extraction.
I'll maintain the same system of automated watering/drainage like my previous grow. Grow no. 9, here we go!
