Welcome to my first grow journal!
This will be my second grow of the year following a very successful three-site RDWC system, growing Girl Scout Crack and yielding about six ounces of bud and two of useable trim. I elected to simplify my grow significantly, making it a two-site standalone non-recycling DWC system in 12 gallon totes instead of three five-gallon buckets connected with a reservoir. This allows for a lot fewer opportunities for leaks, guarantees equal spacing for maximum light absorption and equal nutrient access. I'm running a 4" air stone on a Hygger 10 watt, 2-port pump and it's very quiet. Also have an A/C Inifinity Cloudline S6 fan and I'm SO happy I spent the extra cash on it! It's super efficient, light, comes with an adjustable remote and it's extremely quiet. Currently the loudest piece of my tent are the fans in the Bestva LED. Now onto the actual grow.
After months of false starts and bad genetics, I finally landed on some winners from Original Harvest Seeds and they happen to be all the rage right now: Blue Dream. I'm extremely excited to get to run a new strain and know it will be a real crowd pleaser! (Side note: If you've never tried Girl Scout Crack, I cannot recommend it enough. Perfect amount of positive energy for the first 30 minutes and then a nice, relaxing chill that won't leave you couch-locked.) As of right now, we're just at the tail end of the seedling phase, so I transplanted her to her final site today. My hope is that I'll get some great clones from her and be able to use my second site in a few weeks. From there, I plan on mainlining for 16 colas per plant in a Scrog. Of course, no plan is ever executed exactly, so I'm leaving every option the table for now. In any case, I'll keep y'all updated as she grows.
I could use a bit of help coming up with a name for her. Is that something y'all do? Name your girls?
Thanks for reading!
