Me alegro todo siga hacia adelante 😏

Uuufff ! Todo lo mejor para ellas . Se le desea buen proceso

Fantastic garden. Good luck!! ✌️

Seguro que mejora el porcentaje el siguiente año. Buena suerte con el cultivo compañero 💪

Sad to hear about the germ rate man! Hope it gets better! Love that you start exactly at spring solstice! Mar 21! Sending the best of vibes to you, your plant/s, and the mutual growth you will have together! 🌱

Nothing has helped my soil breath for some reason this year using the same mix as always. I decided to go radicle and gave them a H202 watering today (1/3) to get some oxygen down into the roots. I may or may not try to re-introduce mycorrhizae. I'm not sure at this late stage if it will make any difference. I decided to try since they are staying green at the top. Stunted yes but maybe something and I started an auto Bruce Banner but it doesn't like something, showing cupping/canoe leaves even tho I didn't add any supplements to this soil and it's outside so it can't be too much light. Oh, well, my shoulder is better today at least.

Glad you had luck with these seeds. None of my 10 even cracked. They were the smallest colorless seeds I've seen. They gave me a credit but for what? If this is their best where am I supposed to go from here? I'm probably not going to grow again. After 7 seasons of heartbreak I'm done with it. Thousands of hours studying and working and thousands of dollars chasing the best practices for a pile of low quality weed that needs reinforcing with it's own keif to make it useable. Good luck....I don't see the point anymore.

Thank you for your encouragement, however nothing I do helps my grow. It's all dying off as too wet and I can't do anything about it. When these die off I'm out of this hobby. I can't seem to do it after 7 years trying I never produced anything near what I could buy and the failures kept mounting instead of improving. Its become too much heartbreak for so much effort. Thousands of hours and thousands of dollars later in retrospect it was a fun experiment that ultimately failed. Mediocre results never matched the amount of study, effort and expense. Better luck to the rest of you!

Gorilla Bomb drooping due to substrate being too dense. I chopped up the old soil with roots too find the added bulk of leftover roots and rhizomes made it too dense. I waited two weeks without adding any water to see if they would dry out. NOPE, so I mixed up some newly aeriated soil with LOTS of perlite, lava rock and made a bed of rocks and cactus mix for the bottom to increase drainage and air circulation. More nutrients were added of the same used before. Today these are happy as clams and reaching for the sky in anticipation of the sun coming out later. I'm so glad I decided to transplant again into better draining soil. It serves to remind us that if we are adept at transplanting, then if conditions warrant, by all means DO IT. I also sprinkled a fresh dusting of mycorrhizae into each hole before planting and have applied silicone foliar for stem strength. (High winds a problem here and silicone has demonstrated significantly stronger stems. Notice the amount of perlite showing in the pics was not nearly enough for the newly dense recycled/recharged soil. I upped the amount to fully one third of total bulk. Surface had been bone dry so the importance of using a deep soil moisture prod is clearly demonstrated. The finger test is antiquated.

lookin' good,,,good luck with the grow,,,enjoy.

Happy Growing ! 😊💪

Good luck with your grow mate!💪💪

Sorry to hear about a bad start, but glad you are on your way now 🙌 Happy growing & good luck🙏😊

You've got to get the TDS meter before you can make that decision. Use whichever is lower (likely the tap) and buy an ionic filter if necessary to lower the TDS. (to make room for some fertilizer) Some of those solids are useful (Calcium, magnesium, etc) but too much of anything, like everything, is no good. The plants can only eat so much at a particular time of their life. Charts are easy to find on the web. If you don't follow the charts and keep your feedwater within limits you'll "lockout" your plants. This means they get clogged up with the extra food and it blocks new food from being absorbed. Follow the charts diligently, check your PH with each load of feedwater. Don't worry about it being exactly 6.2PH, let it drift a little each way for a more natural effect. Also, if you go organic, the TDS meter will not help you judge how much to use since the TDS meters only work on synthetic nutrients. Then one must follow a chart/feed schedule somebody else figured out or guess using your experience. It's hard to "lockout" plants with organics so one can be liberal but you can still use too much and waste it. I'm a new convert to organic. I found it seemed to have prevented previously experienced yearly problems with caterpillars and diseases! While producing the tallest plants I've grown. (GSC's to 8' in 12-gallon tall pots) Whether the quality is better is still to be shown. Flowers look better, but the wind and heatwave damage prevented a better study. Having lost the bugs and diseases though is enough to switch me permanently to PRIMARILY ORGANIC. I say "primarily" because I have been told by an associate who is the Professor of Soil Sciences, Dept. of Plant and Soil Sciences at a major university, that one can mix organic and chemical fertilizers as long as they are not used simultaneously. (separate feedings) My trichomes were more numerous than ever, but the heat waves and wind storms took a bite out of the quantity and quality making the majority of this years grow headed for the dry ice hash processing pile. Though, not all have been tested yet. I dry and cure very slowly in my wine cellar at 64'F and 55%RH so the October harvest is not really ready till at least Christmas and improves through the spring. (Have room in my cellar if anyone wants to try drying/curing there. ((a small sample fee required!) HAH!
