First grow!
EDIT: I've given each plant their own diary, to make it easier for me to flip through, but will still be updating this one every day!
All plants are in Great Lakes Water Only super type soil. Watering with 6.15ph, runoff is around 6.8. My plan is to just plain water them, LST them, and hit them with a great big pile of light.
Backdated all plants to be starting on the same day, even though they were staggered by several days during planting and germinating.
Started with a 125w wall draw Blurple that called itself 1000w. Ordered a 3x 63z 3590 Cree Cob kit while running the blurp.
Sour Crack #1 - Came up out of the dirt like a rocket and chugged along with no issues.
Sam's Crack #1 - Ditto for this one. All I know about these seeds is that they are a cross between Mephisto's Sour Crack and Samsquanch OG. My hope is that it grows like a Sour Crack and bulks like the Samsquanch. :-D
Sam's Crack #2 (Mandy Capable) - She came out missing about 1.5 of her cotyledon leaves. What came out of the dirt was sort of blackened and sort of twisted. I worried that she wasn't going to make it and germed another Sam's Crack, who is officially named #1 because why not confuse the issue. She took a long time to get going but is now blasting off, as later pics will show.
3 Bears OG #1 - She came out of the ground and shot up to three inches tall in something like three days then started screaming sativa dominant pheno? She's been pleasantly boring and hasn't given me any surprises apart from showing more sativa than expected.
Hey brother, I am also growing g a sour crack, in a PC case. I'm at 3 weeks :) have you a follow. Looks like we are both doing some mad LST at the moment :) good luck my friend, cant wait to see your progress.
@Hexus, I feel your pain. Planted 5 for my 3x3 tent directly in soil. Over a week later nothing. Germ 6 new ones in a paper towel (5+1 extra incase one doesnt work.) Put a heater in there because I thing initial issue was low temps. 2 days after germ all 5 originals pop. All 6 germ. Now sitting with 11 seedlings. Bought a second tent to accommodate my mistake lol.
@Budcoin, Nice! Everything is going smoothly but I jumped right in with a ridiculous NINE plants. Was supposed to be one, but then my light supported at least a 2x2 space, so I planted a second, but it didn't appear to sprout, so I germed a third and while it was germing the second one sprouted and hey, three plants is great but four makes a 2x2 square so it seemed to be logical to, you know, do four. :-D Of course I bought a tent, a 32x48 incher, because the shower stall was now a bit crowded, and now I had half of a tent filled and that just wasn't going to cut it so EIGHT, but fool that I am, one of them didn't and then DID germ on me so NINE IT IS SAH.
Somewhere in there I got a triple Cree Cob setup at 190w, to, you know, supplement the blurple.
*Twitch* Gonna have a whole bunch of cannananananananabis, apparently.
Damn you sure made some bushes out of them! Those will look great once covered in buds. And such a beautiful cat🤩 probably loves being around the plants. My mainecoons will try to get in my tent any way they can. Trashed the whole tent including plants my last grow. Such a pain, but you gotta love em :)
@ArucambaAutoflowers297, Thanks! Yeah we're gonna have to move the grow to elsewhere to account for Cat-Ass-Trophies being awarded. I've got a plan, so you know everything will be fine. O_O
@Bicboi, Right now it's been maybe every three days. I've got one of those $10 stick it into the dirt meters with a 1-4 on it and I put water in when it's in the 1 zone at a depth equal to the height of the top of the plant. Seems to be working great because I haven't over watered them yet.
Would probably be less often were it not for the tent being 84f or so because of the lights. Temp outside is a toasty 20f right now but the three COBs and the blurple togather keep it very very warm.
@EelGrows, Far more than I expected! Was doing it on a single plant to say that I had had the experience, and the next day there was twice as much plant... So... LST it is. Relaxing now that I'm doing it, as well.
