Germinated seed on 12/17/2017. Germinated seed in final pot to avoid transplanting.
OH, and heads up for you frugal freddys/recyclers you can get free 5 gallon food grade buckets at almost any bakery, dunkin doughnuts and a bunch of other fast food chains. Just call up and ask if they have any. They throw them away all the time.
Going well. Seed cap did get stuck and wasn't able to shed it itself so after a few days I sprayed it with water and helped take it off without damaging anything.
My very first grow! Trying to keep it as natural and healthy as possible. Mostly here to get advice from other organic growers. I'd love to chat with anyone who knows what they are doing lol!
Everything is going well so far, I'm just wondering if she is as big as she should be. Wondering how much smaller (if any) she is and will be compared to a non organic grow. But as long as I end up with some pure and delicious buds in the end I'll be a happy gal.
1/17/18 noticed first set of bottom leaves are dying. Watered and added a small amount NPK organic nutrients to see if this helps or makes things worse.
1/27/18 still looking healthy but getting very bushy and the soil shrunk down so much I am hoping I won't have issues with airflow and light getting through. Trying to LST the best I can. Accidentally broke branch on my northern lights I have next to it. Tried to tape it bit it was too broke
1/30/18 watered with compost tea, himalayan salt and a little lemon to get the pH down to 6.5. Also plucked a few fan leaves off. Just like 3 or 4. I wasn't going to but there was such a solid canopy and with the soil shrinking so much I needed the light penatration and more airflow.
Just been removing abt 3 leaves at a time and letting it recover fully before I picked more. So bushy I had to do some trimming to allow more light/airflow
Getting close! Watching every day. I want a little bit more mellow high so I'm trying to wait for some more amber but have no idea how much longer that will be! No yellowing of leaves, started flushing but I used a organic super soil mix so idk if flushing is even nessesary
Didn't yield as much as I hoped for but I'm not complaining. What is there is the smoothest and most potant green I've ever smoked! The smell is heavenly. And I had no deficiencies or problems while growing. I made 2 mistakes that I believe greatly affected the yield. I did not add enough perlite in my super soil mixture and the soil compacted really badly. And the second thing was I did not have enough fresh air being brought into the grow room. I will definitely make a better set up next time around. But I will be using the same organic nutes that I did this time. It was so easy and and felt great making my own nutes and knowing just how pure and clean my flower is. This whole experience was so rewarding!
Very nice body buzz. Made me tingly all over. And a floaty euphoric feeling as well. I had a permanent smirk on my face and felt very content. Afterwards I slept like a rock (which is what I wanted bc I have trouble sleeping). If you smoke just a little it's energizing. But if you overdo it you won't want to do anything but relax then sleep like the dead.
What a killer grow and for a first grow it was certainly top notch. Homemade nutrients to boot! Wowza! Nicely done! Once we get you over to the Nectar family and get the air circulation rectified you will be killing it for sure. You are most definitely the Green-eyed Green Thumbed Ganja Goddess! Woot woot!
@Greeneyed_Ganja_Goddess, @Zannabis7, Happens to me all the time lmfao! At least there is an "edit" button for your own posted comments... I'll type something out and then post it only to realize it only made sense in my stoned brain 😉
@Zannabis7, lmao I thought it was a brand! I've heard it somewhere else before. Or I think I have.... Idk, dangers of internetting while high I guess haha
Wow, good job, i wanted to start using himalayan sole salt because of the trace minerals in there as a little additive to my nutrients but when i googled about it people were saying they are using salt as a herbicide to kill weeds so i ended up not using it, now i am making my new batch of sole salt and will surely add a few drops along with the nutrients tonight, do you really use 1.3g per 1l of himalayan salt?
I wanted to add molasses about third week before harvest, it supposedly enhances the taste and smell of the flowers, i don't want the cannabis to smell all the way downstairs, too lol
@Horus333, thanks! Yeah this is my first grow ever and I just did as much research as possible to figure out how to naturally give the plant everything she needs. And part of that said to add back those trace minerals to your water. Especially if you use RO water bc everything has been so filtered out. I did 1 tsp in a gallon and only did it like every 3rd watering. And alternated doing salt, compost tea, molasses, and a all organic pre mixed fertilizer with all kinds of good crap in it. I never once saw any kind of deficiency. It was almost too easy once I figured out my recipes and tracked down everything locally. That part was a pain in the ass.
@Greeneyed_Ganja_Goddess, That's pretty rad! See I have no clue yet about the sciences of making your own organic nutrients (Although it fascinates me tremendously lol). I trust BioBizz organic nutrient line simply because they have worked for every grow I've ever had! They do it right and make caring for your plants nutritional needs a breeze! Mad props for taking it up a notch, Your Gal is beautiful and will blow are minds away when she buds 😀
@BudKingsGrow, thanks! I put up some current pics I took today. I tried to create my own "super soil" as a medium. And for nuts I am using molasses, himalayan salt, and liquid compost (with guano, bone meal, fish and all kinds of other yummy stuff) mixed into RO water.
Looks like you off to a great looking start. Nice job! I am attempting my first "topless" SCROG (trying to bend instead) with 6 different strains right now, of which one is Pineapple Express. It would be cool if you would like/follow along and we can support one another throughout the grow. - Zannabis7
@Zannabis7, thank you 😊! I never heard of topless Scrog but that maybe what I am actually trying to do when I do my LST. And I'm all down for supporting each other. With this being my first grow I really feel like I need someone to hold my hand and reassure me I'm not doing something horribly wrong lol.
She's looking good! It's really hard to compare size on a grows like these, because there are so many different variables that makeup the grow - And there's no wrong way either. Even if we repeat a finished grow and do it the same with the same genetics, each plant is different! Your Lady looks healthy and ready for the pre-bud stretch, so get ready for the fun part 😀
Looking awesome some great cola formation going on 😀 I love this strain my house smells amazing 😂 some of the densest buds I've ever grown rock solid . Loving your work 😉👊
