Hello all you fine folks. Time for another late entry of Glookies in her 4th week. Heads up that Week 5 update will be quite large as I go through the new tent equipment, new parameters and acclimation, new procedures and steps forward in their new home. Will also go over the first problem of the grow (I made it 26-28 days without an issue. Not bad!๐Ÿ˜ƒ). There is a known pH imbalance and we are running quite low right now...P/Cal/Mag deficiencies started up and the low pH is limiting the girls uptake of these essential nutrients for the time being. This entry is late, so the procedure in place has already started and Glookies has been treated, w/ symptoms pulling back. Now that I see she is fine, we will move on to the remaining three and apply the same pot up/feed and conditioning to ensure they won't have a hard time in their new pots. Anywho, this is already long. Here's this weeks Deets (Covers Day's 23-30): The Good (before the pH imbalance): -She is still the fastest growing and most healthy girl in the tent. I have actually been having fun with LST as I get to try new things with her. Doing a weird corkscrew build w/ fluxing. Eventually she will end up as a bubble and she is taking her form right this moment๐Ÿ‘. -At this time there are no negative symptoms observable on her and she is wonderfully textured and healthy. Training doesn't make her upset or stressed out, her feeds don't make her dip out and she doesn't have the same negative nastic movements as two of her counterparts (VK and GZ). -Feeding has been going very well (I thought๐Ÿ˜‚) and she was taking everything in stride. Backed off the heavy Phosphorous loads and straight water feeds helped her kick some of the access I know was there. The Bad: *From here on out, there will be no bad. I'm not seeing anything as "bad" anymore, but just the literal nature of the game. I will make mistakes and I will fix them. Unless the girls are actively dying or dead and/or hermied, I will not be including the BAD in these anymore. Cause...nothings ever that bad and no matter how far I go I seem to be able to get out of it. Therefore, only "Meh's" from now on๐Ÿ‘. The 'Meh': -I did notice something was off with all the girls...some a little more so then others. I didn't know what I was looking at then, but now that symptoms have punched through, I see that I had a pH imbalance for awhile here and it did wreak some havoc. -Beginning deficiencies of P/Cal/Mag are being seen. Mag on top, working downwards and P/Cal on the bottom working it's way upwards through the fans. I will go over this much further in Week 5 and how we are going to adjust the soil through conditioning and a new feeding schedule. -There new home has been somewhat hard to acclimate. It's a much different space then I'm used to, so me and my friend are working together to get things in order and get some nice constant and average readings day and night. At the time of writing this, two days have passed with a steady acclimation of 25-26 degrees and 60-70% RH. Notes of the Week: -As I don't feel I will be able to keep up with super thorough diaries on all the girls, I've decided to make Glookies the Master Diary instead of copy/pasting between journals. From here on out Glookies will have the mass bulk of all information pertaining to all the girls procedures, new schedules, plans and misc. information. The other diaries will include the "Good" and the "Meh" w/ pictures, but entries will be far less in depth. -At the time of writing this I am estimating an additional 2.5-3 weeks of Veg time on all the girls. With some stunting, pH imbalance and mistakes made, we lost a bit of time, but time is all it is. With their new pot up, adjusted pH and feedings, I do trust these girls are going to be happy and blow the hell up in the coming weeks. They are already starting in poor conditions. If I give them what they want, I see nothing but good things in the future. -Proxy Project #2 will be started by the end of this week (Oct 4th) and I should hopefully be able to share a one week update on the new kids. These will be with me for about a month (or when EVA 3 comes in) and then will be transferred to my other friends home for the remainder of propagation under a HPS/MH system (First timer with MH/HPS). -Everything is kind of up in the air when it comes to my actual project start date. I haven't even picked the genetics I'm going to be using... but am slowly working things out. -Bedroom has been completely converted into the official grow room. She's tight, but it's more then adequate for a side by side comparison grow. Damn near every device and piece of equipment is the same, all the way down to the cords used. These units will be operating under the same environment w/ the only differing parameter being the lamp itself. We're gonna do this right๐Ÿ‘. I would like the results to be as accurate and concise as possible. -Many, many updates to catch up on and many new entries to start. I really don't think I'll have it all down for a couple weeks here. Entries will continue to be one week behind as I try to catch up on things๐Ÿ˜ƒ I'll leave it there for now folks. Thanks so much for stopping by. In Week 3 I have added more pictures to the entry. Finally got my service provider to DO their job and I can start the process of catching up. I hope all is well with you peeps! I will catch you on the flip side and make time to see all your projects๐Ÿ‘. You will see me around soon. Cheers and thanks all!๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘Š

TheOldHippieweek 6
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 all๐Ÿ˜…

@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 on๐Ÿ‘Œ. 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 weekโœŠ

Iโ€™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 donโ€™t have time for nonsense and wonโ€™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. Iโ€™m sorry itโ€™s been so aggravating for you, but I understand.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@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 death๐Ÿ˜ฃ. 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 man๐Ÿ™. 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 on๐Ÿ‘Œ

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 ๐Ÿ‘

JinksyGrows
@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 house๐Ÿ˜…. 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!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ 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....

@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 up๐Ÿ‘Š. 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 plants๐Ÿ˜…. If things keep getting bigger and busier, I'll try and find something. Trim bags for now!
