Hello. This is the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2 of veg.
I didn't do a report last week because I was getting leaves and putting them under the bushes and trees I have for the humming birds that stay around here all year.
People here put their racked leaves out at the curb and the municipal vacuum trucks come around and vacuums them up.
So being retired and just working in the afternoons I was messing around with leaves last week.
I'm happy to be growing my own seeds/cross. It seems a little more exciting than growing someone else's seeds. 😊
They are doing good. Got some brown spots on plants 1 and 6, but I think It's a ph problem. Somehow the municipal water that has always been at 6.5, is up to 7.5 lately.
So I now have to measure and adjust all the water I use. 😒
OK. Be Great.

Hi Buddy. I've been growing for about 29 years now and have been learning the whole time. I've tried my hand at making seed in the last few years. I didn't make any last year because I didn't find a male that I liked. Through this site, I've sent some seeds around the world to people who have asked. The Pink Kush holds a big place in my heart. I found it at a grow op bust about 29 years ago. It turned out to be a world class strain. I'm so glad I saved it. Chuck.
@Chucky324, At least it's the throat and not the backside...the joys. Good to hear your on the mend.
The world will be a better place when it's recognised as medicine globally. I am interested to see in the next few years if it is indeed the cure of cancer in some form.
@Beadle420, Hi Friend. Thank You for that. Very nice of you. Yes the RSO is doing the job. Feel fine.
The doc can't find anything wrong with each check up. They push that camera up my nose and down my throat to see inside and out.
I'm here for a few more years as long as I take my ... medicine. 😎
One of the best diaries around that I saw my friend, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Happy smoking for you!
Also got one question, are you 65 years really?? I honestly hope to get there and for sure get there as a grower like you!! I'm 25 btw
@Camarao_Desperto, Hi Buddy.
Yes I'm from the time of landraces, when all we could get was what someone else smuggled in.
We had Mexican sativa's and Afghani hash and Thai sticks and all sorts of good smokables, but it would dry up at times too, where all you could get was overpriced crap.
I wish I had all the seeds back that I have thrown away during those times.
I've been growing indoors for about the last 30 years or so.
I try to keep the best of the best that I've grown in clones.
But I like seeing if I can find some more of those super cannabis plants that happen in just a few seed per plant.
And showing how I can grow and hoping others can learn from my experience.
Thanks for the kind words.
Chuck.
@Dennis_Bong, Hi, Got that done this afternoon. The total dry weight is for 10 plants - 1148 g - The calculator said 4.1 oz. per plant.
Some plants had just 3 oz. and some had more than 4 oz. There are a couple of strong one too. I'll get the harvest posted in a couple of days.

@Dennis_Bong, Hello. I'm just going to weight it up and put it in jars today. So I'll let you now.
I didn't let the plants get too big but they had good sized buds. I'm pleased with it.
Chuck.
