Cbd is for me

Started some pink cbd auto. Freebie from seedsman. I have 2 more for a second run for end of summer. Hoping all goes well. Based on recent past failures making up for my mistakes. Since I’m still a total nube! Using promix BX. Really letting soil dry out before the water. Going to watch closely for signs of needing feed. So far they are looking good. Having a bout of flea beetles that I’m struggling to get rid of. So I had to douse everything with DE and then added some sticky traps. Hoping they are gone and dead now. Ugh. These things are pissing me off around my garden and a whole. I have a 1600 sq ft garden plus the greenhouse. Eradicating these buggers is not for the faint of heart. Used some pyrethrum outside. But would prefer not to put this on my plants in greenhouse. Hoping DE does trick in there. Added screens to my screen house. To reduce bugs coming in. Hope this helps too. Have found moths and dragonflies just chillin on my girls. Not sure they are harmful but no!

Couple bite holes from flea beetles but they seem to be lesser every day. So hopefully getting a handle on them. Gave these girls their first good watering. Using vinegar as ph down. Waiting for my digital reader today so I can get it more accurate. Off to a good start.

Doing well. One of the plants was attacked by my fly paper in the wind when I had them outdoors. It removed part of one of the leaves and bent it over. Stem not broken so I started it with lst. Since these are potted in promix bx instead of ocean floor like my others, I begin their feeding this week with a light dose of grow big ff. 3 tsp In 2 gallons. They grew new sets of leaves and no sign of stress of nute burn. Water is now ph correctly so I think this will help all around turned the extra hours of lights off for rest of grow but leaving it on for an extra hour in the evenings for these babies. I’ll turn it off when they flower in a couple weeks. All 3 still going well. Will start the other 2 when these get closer to harvest for a second crops.

These are slow growers compared to blueberry auto. As expected from other diaries I read. Started lst on the plant that got knocked over. She is recovering fine from the paper incident but read they don’t take well to training so I just pulled the wires off. First signs of flower on one plant. Excited to see these bloom for the colors. Increasing feed. Grow big. Doing well. No signs of distress or over feeding or over watering. Trying to give them as much time outdoors as possible. Been quite rainy here so supplementing with lights. But had a nice day full of sunshine yesterday. Stuck in greenhouse with lights again today.

One is in flower and the other two are just beginning to but stretching quiet well. These are much smaller than the blueberry auto when it started to flower. I expected as much as other growers have stated that it is a rather small plant with a small yield. These are 3 of 5 seeds. Once harvested I will begin 2 more. And try a few new things to see if I can increase yield. Anyway they are pretty and flower is going to be a cool Color. I wish I could pot these up on my deck and make them pretty. But I have minors in household and by law required to lock them up. 🤷‍♀️🏻

Missed a week posting as I was on vacation. But they are flowering nicely. Very small plants. But one is 24 inches tall. I’m planning to move them around the greenhouse tomorrow. As I believe they may be getting shaded by the larger plants in there. Hopefully now that I’m home I can just put them outdoors until harvest (on good days) They have been pretty easy to grow. But we will see about yield. These were freebies so I’m not too worried about it. They are pretty though. They have a mild scent but nothing like my other plants. More floral. Interesting. Will increase feeding schedule a bit to tiger bloom. Now that they are bigger and I’m home to monitor.

All three planted at same time and all three totally differing sizes. Getting fatter but still relatively small autos. Pretty colors though. And can’t wait to harvest some cbd!!!!

Went from a lovely lite scent to skunking out the greenhouse in one week. Whoa baby! Not fruity or citrusy as my blueberry. And way stronger. (Well there are also 3 in flower plus 2 blues in flower so...) Small plants but the big girl has gotten as tall as my potting bench. And just one main cola on her and the baby sister. My out middle sister here she grew some side colas (show off) very excited for some 30:1 cbd. These are just beautiful plants. They get all the compliments from my visiting guests. (Show offs) Ph has been off due to time constraints and heat. I’ve just been hosing them down. Instead of carefully adjusting ph and nutrients. One of my other strains was flipping leaves and show massive deficits in calcium. So I decided to just give them all a good well ph’d water with cal-mag. Let’s hope for the best and boost in bud! I’ll keep to working my ph down moving forward. But with fairly large 12 plants and back to working full time plus my 1500 sq ft vegetable garden plus all my other gardens around this “farm” I’m just running out of time for proper care. I’d pull my kids in to help but the cover emend frowns upon that sooooo.... guess it’s on me. They will have to stick to helping with the veggies and the chickens. 😂

I think these ladies are done. Just need to flush and harvest. When I harvested my blue berry last week saw a spider mite issue. Lady bugs to the rescue. I would have flushed this week but the spider mite issue had me worried . I soaked them down and dried them out. No pyrethrum for these girls but I did give them some de. And then washed it off after a few days. You can still see some remnants in the photo. Well maybe next weeks post will be harvest 🙌🏼 Can’t wait to enjoy some 30:1 cbd

Flowered fast. Was harvestable fast. Waited too long to harvest started to get some bud rot. The dark purple color makes it hard to tell when trichomes are ready. Not a great strain for beginner growers. Has some tricky traits. But I will try again with extra seeds. This was a seedsman freebie. This is not a complaint. Free cbd flower is always welcome in my garden. 😬 I just wish I had been able to yield more and grow bigger plants. Will try an indoor grow and maybe a 24 hr auto cycle to give it more veg time before it’s early flower. I look forward to mastering high cbd strains some day. Edit. Dried and now curing - weighing in at 1.4oz dry. Oddly it didn’t lose much weight dried. Cool! Not complaining. 😬
