Happy New Year all!!
I haven’t put any grows on here lately due mostly to laziness but decided to log this years grow skipping all the early boring bits.
This year I’ve got good variety. A few stumbles early and serious storms around here, but I’ve got them through veg ok.
Chiesel was a slow starter, but is really healthy now. An odd shape due to growths appearing in unusual spots.
Chunk is perfect. So healthy and grows itself into perfect shape with big fans that don’t block anything!
Jack is great but started slow until I worked out it wanted twice the feed of the others for some reason.
Glue is a beast. I would have liked it a bit taller but it’s already bolted. It need very heavy defol approx 10 leaves a day average!
Couple of cool autos only a few weeks away.
This year I have made a soil with a locally sourced compost called Morpheus from Red Soil Organics in Gympie.
I won’t be pissing around with living soil anymore as this stuff is just lush and seems to hang in for the duration of the grow.
All in all going very well and decent size or a 100% organic grow
Week 12
The plants took off.
Gorilla is mid to late flower and stacking up. The shaping has paid off and it’s powering.
Jack is perfect. Can’t wait to see it fully loaded.
Chunk is a big bopper and still going. Nice strong branches. Drinks over 4l a day!
Cheisel is going along well enough but getting outdone by the rest.
Little auto is chopped already, harvest later on.
It’s been like a greenhouse for weeks now with over 60% humidity day and night.
Great for the plants but uncomfortable for me.
Gorilla will be about done next update
Happy AUSTRALIA DAY growers
Week 15
Mostly good news I suppose, with the exception of the discovery of a good whack of bud rot in my GG4.
It’s hard to avoid given the persistent humidity. Even though this week was a touch better, the damage was done.
I lost the top half of 2 buds on my glue to rot. It was lucky it wasn’t more as there were no signs from the outside of the buds.
Just a chance close inspection revealed an irretrievable onset in one bud. This sparked a frenzy of checking the whole plant.
Lucky to have contained it to only two buds I hope. Glue is just so tight and sticky it lends itself to these problems I suppose.
The rest are all good
Jack is steaming, and putting on bulk. Smells the best of the lot.
Chiesel is just OK for now, not real petty but you never know.
Chunk is a massive unit. Almost a 6 footer. It’s shaping up to be a weapon. Nice tough branches
Hoping to stave off the rot over coming weeks. Cheers mateys cheers
Really good shit
Definitely a top notch stone.
Really strong, but so clear too. Doesn’t take the wind out of you and not chesty at all.
Great smoke. Taste is just OK though.
Visually such a great looking plant with a bit of topping.
Finishes nice and quick, but mould is an issue in final weeks due to how tonight the buds are.
Week 17
Plants are kicking ass at the moment.
Although the humidity has settled, the heat is still there.
This chunk drinks 6l of water every day!! It’s killing me on nutrients!
But they love it. Jack will be out next, smells like the best one of the lot
It was good to give this one a go.
Chiesel gave me a good yield and a nice mellow smoke.
Not the strongest but ideal for certain occasions.
A few issues in the grow, she’s not the most resilient outside
Also I could only get 2 out of 5 growing.
It’s parent is a Soma NYC Diesel and I was probably hoping for a cheaper way of getting a taste of it, but it didn’t work like that!
For an oldish fellow like me Jack is just spot on.
It has a real polish to it.
Perfect in the grow outside too, I can’t think of a single problem in 18 weeks.
Jack will be back in the garden for years to come
That’s it for another year.
A massive season this time so I’m off to hibernate with my weed.
Take care mates. See you all again around October for another round.
Best of luck with all your grows everyone cheers
