Week 5 of Veg was a stressful but good one. At the beginning of the week I had serious issues that were killing the girls and at the end of the week I had to do an emergency transplant from 1.57 gallon thick plastic pots to 3 gallon fabric pots. The reasons for this are numerous and all user error. Learned some hard lessons that many small, seemingly innocuous, mistakes can turn into some seriously big, plant-life threatening problems. Also a lesson for me that no matter how much I read and how much I talk to people about growing, I'm going to make mistakes through actual, practical experience. There were also deficiency issues I was dealing with this week (Certain it was Cal-mag/zinc) specifically affecting GG#4, plant #1. This is where she became the 'runt' of the group. She was young and her largest set of fan leaves were pretty damaged. Eventually, after the deficiency was rectified, I removed the leaves as the damage was too much and there was no bringing them back. Those two fan leaves I took made a huge difference and were about 1/3rd of what she had. She never fully recovered and that's pretty clear from the flowering photos and the size of her stems/stalks. Notes of the week: -Topped two sections, for the second time. I will not be topping this much in future and plan on heavier LST to accomplish my desired # of tops -This grow should not have taken this long, but with the stunting, root binding and deficiencies I estimated 2-3 weeks of Veg time were lost in this time. Not totally ecstatic about what went on and the mistakes I made, but man did I learn a lot and man am I glad I didn't just straight up kill them with those mistakes.

To support the weight of my colas in the near future, I was planning on using a non static ribbon, but if there are ANY other better methods to reduce knocking the plants around please feel free to share. Thanks!

Yes there are I use plant yoyos cheap and won't hurt the plant. There are other options to like for instance a tell is good option, bamboo stakes, tomato rings and cages. Check out my last harvest I had plant yoyos.

"Survey Says!". Wrapping this grow up and germinating my new crop the same day as these girls get cut down (gotta keep it legal๐Ÿ˜‰). My question is Blue cookies, fem or NL fem. If you've grown them please weigh in!!! I'm torn on what to pick, for reals.

I5s a question on how challenging you like it^^ and if you are a stativa or aindica person. Bluecookies May be more challenging/ ( blue family) but you will have a nice tasting harvest very fruity ( more sativa)..... Northern light is such agood to grow classy strain with more indica and a nice lemony smell and taste. I dont know which you choose both are great

@JinksyGrows, that's it man, when you recognise there's always something new to learn, ways to improve to make yourself a better version of whatever the endeavour is, rather than sit on one way thinking its as good as it gets ๐Ÿ˜Ž Then you will always have room to improve Its a good thing to have to use your time on, a grow, you need mental and physical stimulation or you have to long to dwell on the negative I actually tried to grow another bag seed gg4 at the start of this grow but there was something badly wrong from the get go, and I let it go, I had more than enough for my space anyway, and also the gorilla zkittlez but that's basically the only plant I've lost, and it wasn't through mistake, soil seems fairly forgiving which is useful I think it's always worth having a gorilla in the tent in some form or another Peace mon

@I_and_I, Haha, thank you kindly. I am certainly a newbie but put quite a bit into further learning. Unemployment allows for these things, Lol! Things have been going pretty well and I'm hoping grow #3 will be even more fruitful๐Ÿ˜Š. Little scared though. I haven't had a big eff up yet or lost a plant and I'm paranoid now. hahaha. Give me two weeks and it'll pass๐Ÿ˜‰. And GG!?! Ummm, I want to try a lot of strains, but after this first grow w/ GG, I keep feeling like I want to do a full 4 plant run of them. I loved it man. It does a lot for me and it was really depressing when I ran out. Can't find it anywhere either! So, going to grow it again and stock pile a large amount๐Ÿ‘(Grow #4...maybe). And lucky you finding a stray GG. Gift from the cannabis God's.๐Ÿ˜€

@JinksyGrows, I too have had alcohol issues. Been sober coming up on Four yrs. Thats the same amount of time Iโ€™ve done in jail because of drinking throughout my life. Weed has helped immensely with my chronic pain, anxiety, sleep, appetite and cravings. Never lost friends, wife, jobs, driverโ€™s license, freedom and respect due to weed. Wish I could say the same about booze. Better late then never but wish my Father, Mother and brother lived to see me get sober but wasnโ€™t to be. Congrats to you. Never an easy task. My private chat is always here to talk if or when things get trying.

@Buddha2, I'm sincerely sorry you have/had to wait so long. That being said, you're right, better late then never! You do you and enjoy your medicine and all the plant babies. Governments be damned. And yes! Everything's out there and available, especially information. Makes the learning curve a lot less sharp๐Ÿ˜„.

Buddha2commented5 years ago
@JinksyGrows, yes, it is indeed frustrating. The demonization of cannabis is one of the biggest tragedies of mankind. And while there is some progress meanwhile, it is hard to stay patient. Sooner or later I will be running out of (life-)time. I'm waiting for legalization since almost 40 years now. And I'm a bit angry about myself that I started growing only lately. But better late than never. At least now there is no more stress with organizing the supply ๐Ÿ˜‡

@raptor65, I live in Alberta and I hear you loud and clear. -40 outside isn't good for anyone or anything, even growing indoors. I'm growing through the winter but itll cost me power for sure. lol. Hoping there's not going to be too much of am issue. I'm an electrician as well and calculated all my loads including a couple mini ceramic heaters. Looks like I'm pushing the breaker, but it should all be fine....I hope. Wouldn't look good if an electrician burnt down his own house, hahaha.

@DankGardener, Hey! Thanks so much. Never heard of plant yoyo's before and will look into them right away. I currently have 5' bamboo stakes and was going to use those, but was afraid they'd be too cumbersome to apply. That being said, I'll check out your grows and see how others implement that bamboo stakes for optimal support. Thanks again! I really appreciate it.
