A organic supply shop I buy all my supplies from has a person working there that GAVE me this Shiva clone to grow and asked nothing in return for it. She a wonderful person. So starting on my second in large trash can I've built. Excited on this new adventure.
I changed lighting in her little home and she made a good growth this week. It really surprised me how much she grew. At this rate I will be doing more LST on her.
Missed a week from being gone. Lots of growth to point I had to do some serious trimming. This plant can produce some Veg. Looking forward to seeing it produce buds.
It's been 3 weeks since I've been able to take time to take some pics and post on her. It's been busy time for me. Anyway she's still producing serious vegetation. I hope her buds grow like her veg has. Also she is in 4X4 full time now where she belongs.
Another strong week of Veg. This plant can grow some veg for sure. Did only little trimming this time. Getting close to flowering soon so trying to leave some leaves to absorb light. Really like to see how this girl flowers. Hope it's like her veg.
Well I trimmed her back again right before flipping her to flower here in couple days when I get my new tent a two chamber style tent. Ordered the new tent and they shipped me wrong size which was smaller then one I had so I put frame of old one back up and hung my light and just darken windows till I get new tent in two days. So she be in flower by end of week with a Sour Diesel.
Well I got new two chamber tent setup so I can put her into flower. She sure can veg just hope she can develop bud like she can veg. We shall see soon enough.
Flipped her to flower this week and she's starting to so sign of flowering. In back ground is a sour diesel a friend brought me when his light system went down. So I'm baby sitting till new light shows up
Well second week into flower and she's coming along really well. Got a lot of bud site at top of her. Now to see if she makes buds like she produced veg during veg stage. Only time will tell wish me luck. LOL!!!!
Week #3 of flower and its been a good week. Buds are starting to stack. Bergman's nutrients has been good so far. Looking forward to see what this next week brings.
Week #4 in flower and its been a good week of flower for her. Some of her buds are about 3 inches tall now. Did a round of 1 Tsb of molasses to 1 gallon as a substitution for regular water day and she really liked it. I'm happy with what she's done the last few weeks
@Weddingday420,Haha, thats a lot, awesome! The Shiva I bought in the coffeeshop tastes quite uh, complex and for me it's hard to tell. Just like it's hard to explain what the Northern Lights tastes like. It's cloves, spicey, also a wee bit pine somewhere. Some strains are quite simple, like a very pronounced pine or lemon taste. But Shiva not.
No problem man, ask away! have IBS for almost 19 years. When I have cramps (colon) after visiting the toilet these can be quite heavy. When I use just a small bit of cannabis these cramps mellow out or even go away! So very happy I tried this out.
Sorry to hear you both have heart burn from acid reflux.
This year I got WAY better thanks to some things. These are:
*accepting emotions and not putting them away
*drinking a lot of water - not counting tea or juices, just plain water - maybe you could read F. Batmanghelidj
Your Body's Many Cries for Water - super interesting view on health - apply
*reading and applying the book 'The Clever Guts Diet' by Dr. Michael Mosley - fermenting veggies, making my own yoghurt eating Roquefort etc.
*cannabis for pain/cramps and after very stressfull situations
When applying these points I gained 9KG since februari. I was way too slim. Also the recovery after eating something 'bad?!' is way faster, so everything calmes down faster. Super happy. Fuck, it's easy to tell all these things while being quite anonimous! Haha. The reason I am telling these points is because I think that drinking enough water and having a healthy colon/intestine is key to good health. For everyone.
I had acid reflux for quite some time, it came and went through the years. When I started drinking enough water the acid reflux went away.
I really hope this can help you with taking control of your, and your wife's health. All the best wishes!
And off course I will keep an eye on this diary! 👍
@StealthyDutchGuy,
Thank you she's came a long way since we talked. I think I can get 3.5 to 4 oz dry from her. Took test bud last week that just dried to try next couple days. What's yours tasting like? If you don't mind me asking what kind of stomach issues you have that shiva is helping you with? I ask because the wife and I both have heart burn from acid reflux. Mine stemmed from chemotherapy 6yrs ago. Never had problem till treatment. It's really bad to. Good to hear from you.
Plant looking very nice, but isn't that a lot of trimming? I am a complete newby, so I am really curious. Is that for receiving more light on the branches that are going to form buds? Would you also trim it when you grew the plant outside, or is that because of the LED lights you use?
Looking forewards to your reply! Good luck with Shiva!
@Weddingday420,Thanks for your reply! Interesting. I will keep an eye on your grow. I buy 'Shiva' in a coffeeshop in the Netherlands. For my stomach it's my favorite strain. Haha, but I couldn't figure out either it's a Shiva Shanti or a Shiva Skunk. Maybe next season I'll also grow a Shiva Shanti. Too bad they don't have a autoflower version.... Take care and cheers!
@StealthyDutchGuy, she grows so much so fast that it's hard for the whole plant to get light so I have to trim her back that much. Shes been growing in 30 gallon trash can till another plant finished flowering in the tent.. thank you good luck with your first grow
