1st Legal Grow Ohio SLH

@OhioriverHomestead, Nice Bro if you still have some come harvest maybe we'll have to compare our results! Back in the day, before I had kids, I grew this for a minute. Really hoping for that award winning super lemon flavor in one of these girls. They are so different and have been since day 1 so I'm somewhat hopeful to score one this time. If not I still have 2 seeds left. @ILGM don't let me down. That said, I haven't had a SLH pheno that I regretted yet. Last time, had 2 as well (buddy mothered) and one had a lemon zest to it - it was settle and smooth. The other was a chronic high with none of the terps I was expecting. I'm running the Samsung LM301B LED that came with the tent w/ S11 IONBEAM Bars as supplemental lighting on the sides. Come flower I'll be utilizing the the IONBEAM U4 Targeted spectrum as well. If you go back to my first week I give a rundown of equipment & links to each. This LED thing is completely new to me... love the utility savings and how I can adjust brightness on the fly.

Thanks! Look forward to posting all the progress and enjoying the aromas!

Thanks! Love the moniker

@Chunga, Thanks again. We can't learn unless we experiment. So I 💯 agree with you. As stated in week 1 of diary, I want have fun with it. I've always believed plants in general feed off positive vibes and care. Speaking of funny... or ironic rather, I waited for this moment since the 90s. I've settled down a hair since and decided to have a family. I still live in spitting distance from my home town. Shit goes legal, and here I'm stoked, feeling like I've aquired a small fortune in Amazon stocks... yet all my bros who I envisioned sharing this moment with, are MIA due to cleaning up, getting locked up, dead or got the hell outta Dodge? This is not quite the way I envisioned my first legal grow 20 yrs ago lmao! Not sure how many in this community has experienced this... kinda bitter-sweet. But there are a few of my bros who got their own grows going strong. As of now our harvest looks staggered just right that we've made a pact to aide each other during the trim process. That is the moments I'm looking forward to. We're all growing killer strains that are different.

@CRANKSTER_420, Yep, only a matter of time... once the pols finally catch up with public opinion. it's funny how every grow is an experiment. Your LST looks awesome. Agreed, the tie down would be good for my tent, will be trying it this year. 👍

@Chunga Thanks buddy. It really is ridiculous that this was ever illegal & goes to show it's 100% a money thing. It's still highly discriminated against as far as tax revenues go... which makes each legal state government a cartel by defacto. But each state that flips, makes the possibility of federal legalization that much more real. Which is the ultimate goal IMO. It's only a matter of time. Waited my whole life for this opportunity. It's small setup in relation to what I'm used to that's for sure. I was planning on doing 4... but then I got a seed in a bag and figured wth... and she's doing great as well. So, now I'm to 5 in the 3x3. The bonus plant allowed me to try my first bonsai (Gold Leaf)... which I'm stupidly giddy about and is pale in comparison to the other 4. Honestly, at this moment I wish I tied Everything down like Phenotype "A". Besides being an inaugural legal grow, it's also experimental to find the best method for me and this particular setup. I have no clue how it will turn out, still don't... but it is 💯 effective in height control and comfortably be able to extend the veg cycle by 3-4 weeks easy. But the bushes that are growing next to it won't obviously allow for it. So it won't be able to reach it's full potential which is a bummer of sorts for me. I took a side shot just now and posted it into this week's pics. The stem has actually buried itself into the ground & I'm super curious as if it's taken root? It looks like 12 plants growing side by side. I mention this because I feel this method would work really well for a 2x2x5, as far as maximizing yeilds.
