Hello GrowDiaries Friends,
Unfortunately I was in a car accident last week. I shattered my heal bone (calcaneus), fractured my face and tore open the side of my face around my eye. I’ve had a few surgeries to put things back in place and I’m feeling better each day.
However, my injuries prevent me from caring for my plants personally. One of my best friends (who is also a grower) has been helping with feeding the girls and my wife has been pitching in with waterings also. All of my plants are still doing well, but its too much to ask for them to take pics and videos as I would normally do to update my diaries.
I’ll be off my feet for at least 2 months, but I do plan on updating my diaries as I can. Which will probably be mostly harvest reports. I’ll miss taking care of my plants and doing more GD updates for now, but I’ll be back!!!
@Dirtydraggel, BTW, I water about a 1/2 gallon per plant per watering. So flowering plants get 1 gallon per week (maybe 1.5 gallons for thirsty girls). 1/2 gallons is 1.89 liters.
@Sgtoso, I got the grow bags from Amazon. Here’s the link:

Nearly 3ft tall? 😶 I've just potted mine up, the size that even just the first few leaves have by now scares me a little bit, to be honest. I think I've started growing a monster.
@Chamalla, Yeah, she's a monster indeed. I still have a few weeks to go and I'm hoping for no light burn issues. My Sour Hound is even taller though - over 3 feet. That is the one that scares me the most at the moment. But it should be a fun harvest! 👍
@Hawkbo, yeah, she’s huge! I just started with the MegaCrop this week. I didn’t really notice much change afterwards, but everything looks healthy. I’m going to keep on using to see how they turn out. They sent me a few other nutrients also. I’ll be trying some of them soon.
@JerMeds, Yes, they are water bottles with watering spikes. I was using them more a while ago but stopped because it was just easier to top water. I decided to give them a try again to get more water/food to the center of the root zone. FWIW, I also had ceramic watering spikes that I thought worked better for slowly watering but they kept cracking.
Wow shes beautiful and organic, very nice. I got a free Auto Sour Diesel Haze seed with my last order. Now I'm super excited to grow this one. I cant wait to see your finished results.
@bobo420, The CFL is for seedlings mainly, and a little for side lighting the big girls. I like to have it right on top of the seedlings to help prevent over stretching. When I had the LED’s closer I was getting LED burn on the bigger plants. This set up seems to work pretty well for my perpetual harvest strategy.
@rusty_grizwald, I trained the fuck out of my Mexican Airlines and she stayed short too. But with nice colas everywhere. I'm going to do some training here, but mainly just LST and Defoliation because I really need to be done in early-mid June. The attic is going to he hot as hell in the summer. Too hot for growing for sure.
