Hello and welcome to an explosive Week 2 w/ Glookies. This plant is frigging incredible. These pictures/details will cover days 9-16. The Deets: The Good: -Look at this thing... She's an ultra vigorous little one with great health to back it up. I'm more then impressed w/ Glookies and I can't wait to see where she goes. -She is moving very quick and LST will be a fun ride with her👍. After transplant and her first feed, she didn't stop for a second and just kept plugging away. Everyday I see a new plant and her foliar surface area is starting to expand exponentially. -Wonderful color and health. Stem is finally shoring up and I know for a fact she's about to go into hard Veg. Really going to have to keep up with her needs cause oh man, she just wants to grow big and fast whether I like it or not😃. This means I'll be able to start LST earlier then usual and I have some plans for her👍. The Bad: -Notta👌 The 'Meh': -She's going to be tall, it's clear as day. The SF has held all girls to their height as they bulk outwards, but Glookies is saying no to that and just keeps moving upwards. I see the only means of controlling her to create an even canopy, is by starting very early w/ LST and trying a couple more methods to keep her looking square. -Tent parameters are off and I'm literally working on it while I type, hahaha. RH is a bit out and I need to dump some heat while raising the moisture. Think I might have it now (?). We shall see when I go back down and check on them👍 Notes of the Week: -Tested all soils before use this time, hahaha. That hot seeding soil last time is burned into me and I'll never use a medium without a slurry test from here on out. Potting soil, seeding soil, and Promix all came up aces and are exactly where they should be. -I cut the bone meal from my soil conditioning for pot up, this round. I will be amending the soil with it on the 2-5 gallon move, but I feel some of my P/Cal issues last grow came from this addition to early on stage of life. That, and I am using Miicrobial mass now and it's micro nutrient breakdown (specifically P/Cal) may make that bone meal break down faster and be taken quicker then we'd like. -3 to 5 gallon fabrics were a pain, so this round I'm using 2 to 5 gallon fabrics and will pot up before they have a chance to bind and/or root into the bag. Last go I left this a week too long and this was a brutal experience trying to get them out. I ended up cutting the bags because I was risking big damage to the plant. Would like to avoid this, this time, and the 2 gallons already feel and look like they'll be an easier move then prior. -Because I'm a little too cautious when using a new nutrient line, I am slowly working into the Future Harvest Program. I started with M-G-B but the remaining additives were what I knew. When I saw no issues I moved to their Super B+ and Propogator Root Dev., which also caused zero issues. I will be expanding further into their line as I test each Nutrient/Additive. So far, so very good👍 -Saving some power and have the SF closer but at a lower intensity. The new side dial makes things stupid easy. Currently upping my LUX on a daily basis and am sitting at 19k atm. By end of week 3, I plan on having these girls at 35-40k (If they're okay with that). -Lastly, I would like to up my transpiration rates and am considering Co2 supplementation... I have the material for a DIY, but I think I'll go w/ a legit kit or O2 Bag. Hoping a buddy of mine that can help me out with this and source me a free but SAFE! unit. -Not Lastly.... Oops! By Sept 20th I will have pictures of the new proxy project and all the equipment used. This is a private grow but express permission has been granted to showcase the grow and the girls as we move along. It will be a 4 stain multi-grow journal and will not be touching any contests. This is an adventure I'm sharing with a long time, close friend, who wants to become self sufficient and grow his own. He will be just as responsible for this grow's success as I am and so far him and I have meshed very, very well. This is how I try to pay it forward and once he has a good handle on the process, then he will spread the word and keep this ball rolling👍👊. A final selection has to be made, but all girls are up and ready to go, healthy and very happy. This journal will include 4 of these 5 choices: Green Poison (sweet seeds), Northern Lights (i49), Violator Kush (Barney's), Granddaddy Black (i49) and L.A Amnesia (Paradise Seeds). Should be fun👍 Thank you very much for stopping by and checking out the soon to be hammy beast of a girl. I'm really excited guys! She's just praying and loving life! I hope you all have a fine week out there and I'll certainly catch you on the flip side and see how things are going on your end. For now, Cheers and happy trails👋👊

My mentor found me more than 20 years ago. I was the eager dipshit who wanted to grow the world. He asked me last week how many people I had taken under my wing over the years. 1. One. Just 1. My wife. Sure I've given advice, shared seeds, cuts, etc. But I've never taken anyone through a grow A to Z. And heres why. I learned it takes a special person who REALLY loves to grow. The commitment is huge. The responsibilities are many. The outcome is a long shot. Everyone who smokes definitely would welcome the output. But that love of the flower does NOT carry over to the grow. Real growers who are tuned into their plants are rare. Even here if you can find 1000 people globally who are fully committed and legit, well I'd be amazed. The real ones like you? As rare as they come. I asked my mentor why he chose me so many years ago. He laughed and said because if you asked my partner about tomatoes and peppers again, well he was ready to kill you lol. He said he was waiting for someone who didnt want to grow. He was looking for someone who HAD to grow. Besides my wife, I have never met anyone in real life with a real passion, a need, for the grow. That is something one must have within themselves. It's not a seed that can be planted. Sorry you went through that. We'll all be your grow buds :)

@TheOldHippie, I like your style man. I'll keep what I know close until or if I do find someone that is wholly willing to grow (needs too). Too many Cooks in the kitchen is what I like to say, just like the CEO analogy. haha. Doesn't work. Oh, and school projects. Only one person does it all😅
TheOldHippie
TheOldHippiecommented4 years ago
@JinksyGrows, it's my pleasure man. I know how difficult it can be to grow in solitude, know you're doing something off the chain and... no one to share it with. There's a reason each company has only 1 CEO. Because of everyone was an alpha, no one would be left to do the work. Well in our world if everyone was a grower, then there wouldn't be enough people to smoke it all. :))) My best advice is to keep your craft close to you. Don't even let anyone know you grow. Occassionally drop a frosty nug into a close friends hand while muttering the story about your friend who found this wicked shit and dropped a couple on you just because. Your friends will be waiting for your ghost buddy to pass through again lol.

@TheOldHippie, Holy smokes, well said... "Everyone who smokes definitely would welcome the output. But that love of the flower does NOT carry over to the grow". You see, I associate the two personally, but I wrongfully believe everyone else is like this too. I do see the blunt reality of this now...like, I will not allow this to happen again and am refocused on my endeavors and future projects. "He said he was waiting for someone who didn't want to grow. He was looking for someone who HAD to grow." Maybe this is the difference. I have the need and want to grow. It's built into my daily life now and no plant time in a day is unnatural and uncomfortable. It is beyond the flower and I do have this need to grow, progress and refine. I love to play in dirt, turns out, so it goes beyond the flower for sure. Just the time with them is worth every moment and every lesson learned (vegetables now too, lol!). I will keep my eyes wide open for people that have this Need over a simple want. Cause ya...they all want it, but have no drive to accomplish it. I think the largest red flag I didn't mention in the entry was this: Two weeks into the project they were already asking how long this was going to take, how much weed would we be getting, how much would it be worth, etc... I explained that they're living at the finish line and harvest when we haven't even tackled the adolescent propagation stages. They wanted the end game yield, but no part in the process. This is where I should have walked away...before it even started. Live and learn. Anywho, thank you so much for sharing man. I needed to hear these stories and find some validation for how I feel with this whole debacle. I'm on the mend and am moving on👌. I have some bigger plans here and an expansion, so I'm gong to focus on and do me again. Cheers to you my friend, and thank you again for taking the time and sharing your story and advice... I NEED to hear it. Cheers home slice and happy trails this week✊

I’ve also had this similar situation. Except I refused to do all the work for them and they let their plants die and blamed me for it. I don’t have time for nonsense and won’t be a tool. Instead of taking the time to learn some very basic things about growing, they decide to not grow at all. Oh well. To each their own. No use getting frustrated over it. I’m sorry it’s been so aggravating for you, but I understand.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented4 years ago
@SommerVirelli, JFC, I'm glad I reached out cause all these stories coming in validate that I'm NOT CRAZY! Your scenario sounds exactly like mine, but the plants aren't dead...yet. Don't worry, he's doing a fine job of expediting their death😣. And it appears that is what's happening right now. He would rather let them die then learn ANYTHING, flip them and get fruit. I don't understand how you can drop 2000+ dollars, get spoon fed info and given all the free crap you need for success, just to slap it away and stay ignorant? It's insane to me and I'm glad I'm out. Cheers and thank you for the support man🙏. My aggravation is dwindling now and I'm feeling a lot better about things. Just needed some time to process. Writing this was cathartic and I'm glad I did it. Ready to move on👌

Hi Mate sounds to me that you did the right thing in walking away from that situation. I have met many people like the couple you mention. They will never learn respect or value real friendships and can only see the things they can get out of any relationship. I had a cousin propose a similiar collaboration where he knew a guy who wanted to buy a heap of smoke so he says to me "you grow a big crop and I'll sell it to me mate and give ya half" and I'm thinking to myself oh great so you want me to risk everything do all the work and I'll get half........ HaHaHa yeh right I says besides I don't sell anything I grow as it's just not worth the risk and defeats the purpose of why I'm growing which is to keep myself supplied so that I don't have to buy it. Back to your situation Keep your guard up regarding these people as bad pennies have a tendancy to turn up again. Good luck for ya next grows mate 👍
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrowscommented4 years ago
@Grey_Wolf, You know man, that's the worst part. I saw them as friends but they didn't see me that way. I was just the grower and a free ride. That hurts... And what's with these people thinking they're doing us a solid by "letting us" grow their weed for them, and hey, we'll give you a cut. Gee thanks! There's a serious disconnect there and I almost feel like they thought they were doing ME a favor by "letting" me grow in their house😅. I have 3 tents and two are fully commissioned, why would I need your plants? Anywho, rough go, but my guard is up and I'm focused on meself for a bit. A tad selfish, yes, but I do have some goals I need to achieve. These individuals stand in the way of that, so I'm walking away from all of them for now. Lastly, ya, they were talking about selling/expanding to sell, but implied it would be all me and I would 50%. Same as you, however, I DONT SELL! So, the risk of doing this for them is dumb as hell. Why would you or I risk our livelihoods so you can get free dope and make a couple bucks...(?) Such ass backwards thinking. I'm going to bring my truck into the shop and give them "the opportunity to fix it" without payment and they will thank me for it. That's how this works right? LOL!😂😂 Anyways man, cheers to you. Always a solid contact and grow buddy. My focus in on peoples like yourselves. I am surrounded by great company and it's time to take a step back and understand how lucky I am to have this support. Gotta stop trying to look for it, when I literally already have it.... Thank you Wolf🙏. You're the tits man✊

Busy s good. And I also found out that you can’t let up when going out sing weed. A bit of slip invite trouble. And I dream about automated small scale trimming.

@Med_in_Tropic, Agreed man. Busy is good and I'm doing what I love to do pretty much all day now. Spreading plants all around and trying to get as many people into the grow game as possible. Can't let up👊. And ya man...I need a faster way of trimming. I was considering something automated, but I just can't justify a piece of machinery for 8-12 plants😅. If things keep getting bigger and busier, I'll try and find something. Trim bags for now!
