The Decoy

This entry marks the beginning of this summer’s 2 focus grows. First, a little on the environment; It took a bit to get it up and running but the new cabinet is finally in action. This will be the first photo run in the new digs. Complete with 315w x5 cree cob led, I’ve got a ton of headroom now and can fit about 4 plants across the width making access much easier in all respects. I’ve tied in with the existing extraction fan and now have two fully operable spaces all drawing less electricity than most household appliances.👍👍👍 As far as method is concerned, she’s gonna be mainlined to 8-10 colas and we’re gonna try to make the veg. Time dependent on as much headroom as we have available. That said, I’m not waiting forever so 8 weeks veg. will be the max prior to flower. Coco coir medium with a range of botanicare nutes throughout. The only significant change to our normal routine will be the pot size - planning on move’n up to 7gals. In the hopes of achieving larger plant.👍 May 1 update - round 2 of our little adventure and this bean actually took. Little sprout’s lookn spritely so we’ll see what happens👍 Background For those who don’t already know, Humboldt Seed Organization hails from the Emerald Triangle of Northern California, a region that consists of Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity Counties. A growing region for cannabis that can be likened to the Bordeaux wine region of France, it’s origins are as infamous as they are notorious. The region’s cannabis history sprung from hippy communes dating back to the 60’s . But like any other lucrative, illicit endeavour, it wasn’t all flowers and sunshine. Illegal marijuana cultivation brought out the best, and the worst in the many people who flocked to the region over the decades. Those so inclined saw an escape from “typical society” in the mountains while in some cases others - not so inclined, would disappear from society altogether. At one point, this region was purported to be responsible for 90% of the cannabis supply across the country (and probably a good part of the market up here in Canada too I’d imagine). Bottom line: these folks have been do’n it LOUD for more than 50 years and deserve our respect ✊ for their efforts. 707 Headband is a cross of True Ocean Grown and a Mendocino Elite clone. Sativa dominant, the high is supposed to be very cerebral - like wearing a headband of it😉😎. We can only hope that our attempt at growing this bit of awesomeness lives up to the reputation that it’s Breeders have earned through experience. Thanks as always for the discussion and for take’n a look👊 - this ones gonna be good👌😎.
