Notes For the Week:
-Gorilla had a nice start as well, though she was one day behind her Glookies counterpart. She caught up quick and matched the two oldest girls in no time, surpassing Violator Kush. Going into the third fan set on day 7 is good enough for me and she seems like a sturdy lady with tonnes of life.
-Though I am changing my germination methods a bit, I started GZ and the others with my older ways. So, they got a soak, went into paper towel to tap and finally into their Solo's at 3/8's" depth. Medium was a 50/50 split with Pro-mix and Dutch Treat Potting Soil w/ a 1:5 perlite ratio. Good aeration w/ relatively low water retention.
-I am greatly looking forward to this strain and is one of the girls I received through a seed exchange. Happy to see she's healthy thus far, going into her second week👍
-I lost my Banana Krumble😭. It hurt, but that's how she goes sometimes man. I will be growing this strain. I am going to source it for Grow #5. I will! get it done, haha. I want me some krumble sooo bad😅. Anywho, Aya Purple was her replacement, which isn't exactly settling... I am happy to have such a solid, potent and healthy substitute👌
Hey, hey, that's all for this week folks. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the new life I have going's on. Hope all you are having a smooth ride with your projects and are enjoying the fruits of your labor. Cheers to you all, catch you next week👋✊
@Mrs_Larimar, See how long it lasts, lol!😉 In all seriousness though, I do feel way more confident going into this one. The little things don't bother me anymore and I don't screw around with them anymore. It's proven to be very helpful... I was advised to do this from the beginning, but I'm only learning now to take a breath and let em to👍. Pretty sure you've told me that like 20 times! Hahaha.
I find keeping on top of multiple diaries a challenge as well to Man.......9 to 5 and a family makes it tough to maintain more than one diary!! I like the direction you are going.......keep one main one......its still lots with the pictures as well though and adding a comment for each.....etc, etc.👍
I keep my one Excel file and picture log on my own computer......I update that religiously on a daily basis. It’s my own copy and I control it and there is no internet needed, i can print it and format it and share with anyone idea......remember when we used to buy music and we owned it and could play it on whatever the hell we wanted when we wanted and not tied to a company😃........I find I feel the same way about an internet based site which is archiving something I might to want to look at in 8 years. Not to mention., will the company still be around in 8 years time..........look at how much has changed in our last 10 years and companies that are gone which no one thought would be or services no longer supported........so in my life some how Grow Diaries ends up getting transposed from the Excel file when it fits in......and I try and avoid updating Sundays, which is of course when it fits best for me😂😂👍 I am thinking about my next run not using the Excel file at all and update the diary each day online and upload the pictures and thoughts each day right to the site..........feels vulnerable though
I don’t know where the hell all that just came from but hey.......you just read it all too🤪😂
Later Bud!
@Buddha2, You hit the nail on the head... I personally don't believe in ideologies as they only reflect a system in its perfected state, nor do they adapt to new times and changes. It's not how the world works or grows... And yes, what I'm seeing in the world today is not pleasant. I feel like much of the world is regressing in their thinking, denying science and trying to keep status quo. So many obstacles in the way to grow a plant. The old 19th/20th century fear mongering worked very well, with the same misinformation being spread today.
It feels hopeless, but the world is turning and coming around.
"Drugs and Alcohol' bothers me as well. Firstly, labeling cannabis as a drug alongside all others is bs (American still has it as schedule 1 substance, along side heroin and with cocain being the lesser schedule 2). Secondly, I am an alcoholic and booze is a drug. I don't like the seperation of the two. Plus, the "drug" cannabis is how I got sober...from deaths door. So, I don't take kindly to those equating cannabis to booze. It isn't the "same".
The stigma still exists here, unfortunately. Very few people I know, know I grow, lest I get pooped on by my peers. It's gonna take time, but I have no shame.
Keep fighting the good fight, spread and teach the process and keep the train moving. We will! get there.🙏🙏
@JinksyGrows, I do not feel dissed 😉 Problem is: When it comes to cannabis, most politicians ignore and deny science. And the media always carefully use the term "alcohol and drugs" to create the perception the favorite drug of the majority is none.
In short, you do you, there are too many charlatans who leach off of other peoples enthusiasm. Focus your energy on your own grows. If you allow enough time, good and serious people/growers will rear their heads.
It’s sometimes painful to say, but bad trips are the ones we learn the most from, just don’t let it get you down.
@NuggetPawn, I couldn't agree more with your last statement, but it sucks ass that it has to be this way... I've learned some very valuable lessons and with mistakes made on is end, I was forced to learn new processes and fixes for the plants. So, I did learn a lot and it wasn't a total wash, but I did let it get me down. Five days since now, and I'm on the mend and moving forward (new kids breaking soil). "Charlatans" LOL! I like that... Perfect title for them😂.
I have a lot of great/passionate growers on my contacts list and it's time to focus on them. No more of this, teaching a man to fish, when all he wants is free food. We're moving on👍. Cheers to you Nugget and thanks for the support. Glad I reached out on here... "Good and serious people/growers" have just reared their heads and I'm reminded that I AM in good company here and I appreciates all of you...for cereal😀
So sorry you gotta go through all that man. Some people don’t take the pride or care out the maintenance that goes into growing! I hope you get back and better Man! Bless up! 🙌🏽
@SuggaShane, Thank you man🙏. I'm on the mend now and feeling better. I'm pretty awake now as to who and what people are/do. I'm very disappointed but I am better and I'm blessing up home slice😀✊. Just a speed bump. Onwards!
I don't want to hurt your feeling's but you need help, ASAP! I see similarities... I went through a tough time myself and I couldn't see why people we're distancing themselves from me. I wish you good luck growmie 💚 btw, the plants didn't look that bad.
@@@ShotGunBob, Ah crap, now I feel like a dick.🤦 I misinterpreted your message man. I'm seriously all good on my end and have left this all behind. I apologize once more and should have messaged in PM to clarify things. I'm going to delete that message of mine, if you don't mind. Now that I see I misconstrued the message. It seems I am not self aware today after all👍🤦.
@Buddha2, I do not look forward to her next couple updates😬. Some miscommunication and mistakes between me and my friend has put her in peril. Only time and gentle low volume feeds may save her. Oof, wish me luck🙏
Sorry Man, nothing like friends betrayal , disrespect and being used. Been there. Generous souls can’t always expect equal efforts. We will always feel used. Alittle of this is our own fault. We can’t expect the same passion, obligation, integrity that we are selfs hold as life’s code of honor. Sry. Move on get over it. You have way to much to share.
@@JP148, I appreciate the support man, truly. And ya, it sucked ass, but I'm feeling good about things moving forward. A generous breeder read the story and there's some beautiful new genetics in the mail, free of charge. Cannabis culture is alive man, and one door closes...😉 Have some three week old's I'm going to start diaries on tomorrow. Everything's back too relative normalcy and we're a trucking, brother. As for those peoples and people like them, I feel I have a much better radar and learned a lot about boundaries. Live and learn man. I'm a youngin'.
So sad to hear you've had all this go on dude. I look forward to seeing you pop back up on here. Thanks for all the help you gave me. Take care dude 😁👍
Hey Bud.......upside to veg is everything is fixable👍😃
They are looking good and coming through.......time, patience, water........tell myself all the time as well😂
Cheers Friend........cooling off like crazy here
