Hi guys! long time no see. its been a long journey this pass year thinking about popping some beans. Well the day has come, i couldn't take it any longer. If you've followed my previous diary, i was waiting for this house I'm living at to sell but its been slow since march and i really feel like its going to be on market for a while with going price. Im taking a gamble here and if it does happen to sell i got 60 day or so to move out and i think worse comes to worse i got a friend who can transport them safely and care for them while i move. Lets get this going !!
Femenized M39 Granddady ( m39xGranddaddy purple )
I'm very eager to see these girls grow big ! They are currently substrate germinating. I bought 5 from Q.C.S and they threw in 4 Quebec White Feminized seeds which i donated to a friend who hasn't planted them yet. Very satisfied with the packaging Q.C.S provided and the bonus. Eager to see you guys follow these girls through their life ! Thanks for popping by.
Edit: I was using a no name peat I had laying around that had dried out, I picked up an organic micro active pro mix peat today and fished out the seeds. They had successfully germinated and I picked them up with tweezer ever so gently and placed into new smaller cups. I think some may frown and say I should have left them but the tap roots were only like 1cm just coming out. In my opinion no different than grabbing em off a wet paper towel. I just wanted them to have best success at growing strong with healthier medium. I have faith i did the right move for better seedlings. 8) see you guys when we have life appearing outside the cup :D we also plan on doing this whole grow Organic. Will be my first time all Organic
Day 4, Seedlings are emerged and strong. Light is set to 21 inches from the seedlings. Ive mixed the live soil two weeks early and will continue to stir daily. I fed the live soil ( pro mix organic ) Gaia Green 4-4-4, Epsom salt at 1 teaspoon per litre. and black earth.(documented in a book ) with home made fruit and egg shell compost. eyed up a 1:3 ratio of perlite. 1:3 Worm casting. I gave the soil a treatment of Monkey Juice microbes. Should be some very healthy soil when it comes time to use it.
PPE arrived aswell, not taking chances with contamination this time as it made my last grow very challenging. Added a clip of grow room im using. Fresh air induction and exhaust running to outside the house with a carbon filter installed.
@ApothecAries, yeah I hear ya man. No I was more asking about how long you normally cure for. I know that some crazy craft growers will cure for 4-6 months. I usually try to go for about three months then just leave it in long term storage. Yeah you’re definitely right that it changes over time. I still have a few jars from a 2021 grow. It’s pretty old now but still very smokable and still hits. The appearance isn’t so hot anymore but meh whatever it all looks the same when it’s been through a grinder bahaha. Once it’s dry I usually start picking at it every so often. A few grams here or there isn’t going to make a huge difference when there’s over 120 grams of it. Plus I’m not the guy who’s relying on that plant to be ready because I’m out of smoke. I know some people in that position and they don’t even give it enough time for the cure and they burn right through it because it’s their only source of weed.
@Papa_T, it could take up to 6 months to get a perfect cure. i notice when i store for long time in jars the profiles do change over time and around 6 months might start degrading. I like to cure for atleast 4 weeks before enjoying the smoke. i find the burn is good and the taste is potent and clean. It really all depends what you did during the hanging phase i assume.
@ApothecAries, ahhhh shit I must not have seen that reply a month ago.
How long do you usually cure for? I’m finding that a three month cure makes it really prime. My Purple Punch wasn’t smelling so great but man after three months it really came around and now it smells absolutely wonderful.
