Yea it's kind of unfortunate, a lot of people use it for medicinal reasons and it's not really fair for it to be going the way of big pharma already :/

I like the overgrow the government slogan, if imngrowing enough for me and my friends, giving it away of course, and keeping the money out of the black market id say that's just as valuable as paying taxes for something someone else grew and doesn't give me the same therapeutic and other benefits.

Idk I'm all for legalization but there will be a money grab that I'm not interested in being part of. I see a lot of Canadians getting their stuff going right now and it makes me really happy to see that people are taking it into their own hands. There's a lot of value to this plant and I'm really just glad it'll be more widely available for research and hopefully eventually prices go down to make it affordable for those who need high dosages for medical reasons.

I'm rambling, gone off that blue cheese XD

Cheers mate .

Great read strange ..

I have to agree with you me as a Canadian can say I've decided to grow now get the jump start so I can educate myself on this plant .

I'd rather grow my own meds so I know how and what it is being fed is it flushed is it washed is it is it. Ya know . And yes money grabber but sadly there will be a Walmart version sooner or later then all the Nike stores I feel myself.

Good pot bud

Thanks Nooby! They are loving life right now, slowly but surely .

Good morning y'all! Gunna catch up on some journals then go visit the gals!

Morning update!

10 26 17

Still no sign of peppermint kush so I dug up a mm or 2 and no signs of life :/ I'm generally pretty impatient with the germination stage so well give it one more day and maybe look at popping another bean. I'll look back at my notes and see how much more time I'll allow for this, moving on!

Boring stuff update; temps have been consistent during the day betweenn77 and 80, rh pretty stable between 50 and 65, 60 is kind of what I'm aiming for now. Lowering the humidity bit by bit encourages the girls to use their roots, it's like teaching a child critical thinking skills lol night time temps are about 67 which I can live with.

Lst is getting more difficult lol alecxks jumped out of her wire completely by this morning and the other ones are just getting more stubborn. I also have a bit of a flu so I was over heated and frustrated while doing it, might have roughed the girls up just a tad but nothing major. They always put off a nice dank smell when I play around with them .

Psycho WW Day 26

Jewel BC Day 25

Angel WW Day 24

Moira BC Day 24

Alecxks BC Day 24

And a picture of my soil lol the og tea is definitely giving me some nice microbial action in the root zone!

Today I'll probably move the peppermint kush to the veg tent and finish setting that up, I'll get pics once it's all together!

Have a great day n well talk to y'all soon!

cheers!.

 

[bignstrange]

Lol yea just went back to see when I actually planted the peppermint kush and were only on the 3rd day so I'll definitely give it a couple more to surface-this is definitely a show of my impatience lol

So a note peppermint kush germ started 10 20, planted 10 23 am! It would be sweet if it came up in the next two days, id be happy:3

All that new growth will be growing out of control before you know it! They look happy and healthy! It's funny, some plants just don't take as well to lst as others.

What's this og tea you mentioned??

I'm also interested to hear what you have planned for these lovely girls! Scrog, supercropping, back building..so many options right??

 

[OntarioGro17]

I hear you on germing. I got panicky after 26 hours and not seeing anything in my rapid rooters so i dropped 2 more in a shot glass to try a different method. Ive always grown from clone outdoors, never started from seed til this grow here so now i have 6 healthy babies and might have to drop two of them or get myself another air pump and two pods so they all have their space. Haven't decided yet what i'm going to do as i could lose one or two before that matters.

I'm using a product called OGTea Root Webstar, it's a bacterial innoculant made to help promote microbial activity in the root zone, promoting root growth, health, and nutrient uptake along with a few other pros! It uses a few different propagules of the glomus variety,just adding onto the mykos that come in my promix already-they only have one kind in there so I decided to add more from the glomus family so that they work together instead of battling like they do when you add multiple kinds of bacteria.

Really liking it so far! A few of these girls are already showing nice thick, brilliant white roots out of the bottom which I bet has something to do with the og tea. I'm using a few more rooting additives, regen a root and grozyme so I can't give it all the credit but I think it's definitely helping make the soil more cozy for the plants :3

For training I'm going to try pinching-a bit of a variation on supercropping, but for now I'm gunna focus on getting the lower growth into the light and pulling the main stem over. I'm planning on planting them on one side of the 10 gallon pot and pulling the main stem all the way over, defoliaging to slow it down, while training all the lower growth out to the edges of the pots to *try to create a nice, bushy canopy that leansinto the gaps between plants!

Lol idk how it'll work but we shall see right? I never do anything the easy way XD

Yea it gets really easy to jump the gun on germinating, I try to let the seeds crack,plant and give them about 5 days to show, if not I do some digging lol that's why I had to go back through to see just how impatient I was being XD

Well hopefully you don't have to scrap any of them :/ just expand the operation . or you can always givem to a friend if they have space!

I can't wait to have a couple mothers and grow from clone. I love seeds,but I love consistency even more! Soon >:3

 

[bignstrange]

Whaddup homies, super sick with the flu but ended up taking my dog to the park and then setting up the veg tent!

Feel like absolute crap now but nevertheless pictures!

Had to duct tape the bottom of the flaps so that less light would escape, all my veg and flower tents are in the same room for now :/

Not much room once I get the light up to the recommended 36 inches

Lights on! Lonely little peppermint kush

And the ladies-i was going to drop the light down to 34 inches now that they've hardened off to the led, keeping in mind the recommended hanging distance of 24 to 72 inches XD

I guess I trained them down a bit because the light was 38 inches above the canopy-forgot to adjust it after lst lol so I decided to drop it to 34 and see how they like it!

I'm also keeping an eye on the temps in the veg tent, which I decided to vent into the room instead of out, so I can let y'all know what we're working with!

Happy 420! .

The flu sucks. Sounds like your ladies are helping to heal already lol. .

Veg tent looks great!
If it ends up too small use it as a drying tent. .

 

[Rang3rDang3r]

looking mighty fine there BNS !!! hope ya feel better soon !

 

[Bigbud7709]

I was wondering if they are behind on growth on these auto pineapple express it's 2 weeks and 8 day

 

[Scoooter]

You mean 3 weeks and 1 day? Lol
Does look behind. Don't give up yet though. She could take off.

 

[Bigbud7709]

I.meant two weeks 3

 

[Bigbud7709]

this is 3 weeks 2 days

Should be enough room, only has to stay that high for about a week before I can drop it down a foot! But yea the plan is to use this for mothers and then get a bigger tent for veg :3

looking mighty fine there BNS !!! hope ya feel better soon !

Thanks Ranger! Much appreciated :3

this is 3 weeks 2 days

They are definitely going a little slow, wether it's worth growing or not depends on your goals as a grower!

Get temps to around 80, humidity to 65 to 70 and see if that helps, also make sure she dries out before getting more water. She could just be building roots so like Scoooter said she could just be getting ready to take off!

 

[Bigbud7709]

I have a heater and a fan on them plus the light

That could also be a bit much for them, if they are getting blasted with heat that'll cook them for sure, and the air flow of the fan should just be touching the top of the plant enough to make it " dance"

Do you have a temp and hydrometer to help keep track of numbers?
