Aug 10: Divine Seeds Euphoria is doing great. No trichomes forming yet but that should start this week. Beautiful day is perfect cannabis weather.
Got a batch of lazy compost tea happening and they’ll get some this evening. Watered with the compost tea in the evening.
Using UV lights at mid-day to promote trichome production.
Aug 14: buds are more sativa style than my other photoperiod and are a bit slower, of course. Nice development over last few days.
Added 3 tbsp of a 50:50 mix of Power Bloom and malted barley. This is the second round after previous one about four weeks ago.
Aug 16: cool, overcast, a bit of rain, and smoky so likely not very much growing happened today. Did some defoliation to open up the middle to improve airflow. I have some nearby peony plants that are covered in powdery mildew so I’m now worried about that a bit. Airflow is the best prevention.
@Northern_Ent As far as I can see, you are very experienced. You are a very good grower. And you have worked with as many different seed companies as possible. What I want to ask an experienced person like you; If there were 5 best genetics you have tried so far, which would they be? And which genetic has the highest psychedelic properties in your opinion? And my last question is, why do you think these ''copy cat genetics'' seeds are so expensive? Does that mean they are much better than other seed companies? I am currently growing anesia seeds imperium x and Alien OG, I want to see how psychedelic they are.
@jingamin, hey thanks very much. I love growing but all my stuff is outdoor in a sometimes harsh climate at a high latitude (Edmonton). Having said that five faves are (no order) gorilla glue - fast buds, Candyland from Garden of Green, Frostberry from Lucky13 is fast and has great taste, super Lemon Haze and Lambsbread from Ganja Farmer were really nice and Hash Bud from Quebec Cannabis seeds. Have not tried growing but a Pakistani Purple Chitral is sometimes in the stores here…moderate to low THC but great terpenes or something that really works for me.
So, Fast Buds and Ganja Farmer are excellent places to start.
And weed isn’t really a hallucinogen once you get into it a bit. Of course, I think that about acid too (more just sensory enhancement). Good luck.
@cultivars, yeah shitty. I’m all set up to make hash, which is as much fun as growing, so it’s okay. The other plants aren’t seeded so I’m not too choked.
@Arcadium, yeah I’m using smallish bags so I can easily move them around the yard. Would be nice to have a single sunny spot, but not with this yard. I also use 5 gallon pails of water to stabilize the grow bags. So with the plants and pails of water being moved around I get a nice light daily workout for my gym-hating, lazy ass gen-x body. “It’s not couch lock - I’m lazy”. Anyway Growdiaries is great for inspiration, and I’m looking forward to seeing how your plants finish. Good luck.
