BK's Indoor Soil Autos

[BubbaKush909]

Looks like you are heading in the right direction

Gotta show you this plant just to make you feel better about any of your perceived failures. This is one of three autos I am running right now.

I added some pretty hot manure (my own arrogance) into the soil blends, so that is probably what happened to her.
This WAS my best of three and one day her leaves started going to hell from the top down. Tried flushing then changed its soil out with Promix with no success

It all is a learning process with successes and failures.

Thanks Farmer I feel lots better lol! I've found them to be sensitive and once problems start you're up against it. The SB was looking really good until the 8th when I noticed a spot on 1 leaf. I started giving her calmag & bloom immediately. A week later she was a big mess. I hope it's finally stabilized it's hard to tell. I used to defoliate a lot but I didn't with her and I'm glad, because most of the damage so far is on the leaves I'd normally have taken. If they'd been gone her sugar leaves would have been a mess but they all still look pretty good. For that reason alone I'm done with defoliating.

All the rain was just to the south and west of me, we could have used it. There's very little rain in the 10 day right now. And I agree, that deer didn't eat your plant

The more I garden the more I know shIt is going to happen. When I was in Chicago gardening some drunk ass hats tore down my prize tomato plant (they tore down a lot of folks stuff when they were drunk), which probably would have fetched a third or fourth place ribbon at the Illinois State Fair. Note: they didn't eat what they destroyed.
They were residential challenged folks that resided next to our community garden. Really wanted to end them, but settled on pepper spraying them and tased one. They never forked with the community garden again. Sometimes I miss Chicago.

Sorry to here the rains passing you over.

Not entirely sure of the total amount of precipitation in Athens or Western Ross County, but it seemed to be quite a bit.

The rain worked a miracle on my soybeans (share cropping contract) that were planted on or around the 15th. The little devils were just waiting for some water to jump out of the ground. Hopefully I'll be seeing nicely defined rows shortly. Maybe I'll run a parallel soybean journal with my outdoor grow.
Anyhow at this rate I'll only have the soybeans to journal.

The only thing I didn't look for was deer tracks or other signs, but I can't figure out what else could have ended my girl?

Sorry to the ramble on your board.

Ramble away my friend! I'm glad you got some of that rain. At least we have better temps outside now should only hit mid to high 80's today.

It's probably good you only tased and pepper sprayed those guys lol! Even in Chicago ending them might draw unwanted attention

Are you doing the actual soybean farming or leasing the land to someone else to do it? At least include some soybean pics as you go along. I drive up to Oxford pretty often and see a shitload of soybean fields on the way. Fields of green.

Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning! The heat wave broke last night and today is beautiful so I've got the Cream Cookies back outside. The first CC I grew maxed out at 11" and only yielded about 20g's. I didn't even top her! And according to the FastBuds website it's a big yielder. I'm determined to do better, it's great smoke in both taste and effect.

CC1 was started in my water only soil. She was a runt from day 1 and only slowed down from there. CC2 was started in my new seedling mix - 1/2 light warrior, 1/2 Happy Frog (both mild soils), myco, frass & bokashi. She seemed to love it. Her final home is a 5gal bag prepped @Bill284 style, layers of perlite, water only soil, bokashi, myco & frass. The pot was not saturated before transplant. She was watered in with a kelp tea solution. She's also been able to spend a lot of time outdoors until she starts flowering which CC1 could not do because it was winter.

The results so far are promising. Here she is, day 13 and already 4.5" tall

Her 5th node is now visible and she has some nice stretch between nodes. Her leaves are curling in a little, she may be getting too much sun I'll be watching her.

She's way ahead of CC1 at this point and I hope it continues. 2.5z's or bust

Through trials and tribulations hey ... Unfortunately I can't view the image for some reason. She sounds as if she is off to a great start BK!

Thanks Carmen! The sun was too much for her she's back inside. Not sure what happened above, it posted the pic 3 times and I tried to fix it and looks like I deleted all of them. Here she is:

Cream Cookies day 13 outdoors

indoors

Blueberry Glue day 33 flower 12, 8". There's nowhere for the buds to develop. I'm only growing her to see what the buzz is like.

Red Super Skunk day 46, flower 15. She went 31 days in veg and is still somehow only 10" tall. She also has no room for buds to develop. Her issues don't seem to be spreading.

Both her and the BG stopped growing when I topped them. Before that they looked great. They went into flower and here we are. I tend to think this is more strain-related than anything I've done, I've grown the FR the same way and she's already 13".

Forbidden Runtz XXL day 33, flower 10, 13". Hope she has lots of stretch left. I removed the lowest 2 branches today ie node 1. She's shaping up nicely.

These 2 plants are both 33 days old. BG left, FR.

Thanks for stopping by!

I did something today that I normally avoid at all costs while I'm growing, I called the cops to come over This guy showed up at my kitchen door earlier. He's a sweet dog and is injured, his left rear leg is all torn up and healed over. He's not from around here and I didn't know what else to do. Around here you have to call the cops and they decide if the dog warden is needed.

He's a pit, 2-4 yrs old and has a nice temperament. You can see part of the leg wound, it goes all the way up his foreleg. He wouldn't let the cops near him but he finally let me put a leash on him, then he followed me to their van, jumped in and went right into a cage. They're taking him to the humane society. He'll be scanned for a chip and checked by their vets. If they can't find his owner I'm going to adopt him. I already have 2 cats, they both also just showed up at my door as kittens. I like dogs way better.

The only plants still growing are the Cream Cookies and Forbidden Runtz XXL. I'll spare us all daily updates of the Blueberry Glue (8") and Red Super Skunk (10"). They've both maxed out and are pretty boring to look at every day lol.

The SB is of course full grown, she's 14" and about 2 weeks from the chop.

CC day 15, 5.5". She's grown an inch since yesterday She was outside earlier and she's loving life. I could top her now but I'm going to just bend her over a bit instead. My girls have a bad habit of going into flower right after I top them, or right after the 5th node emerges take your pick.

She just got 1/2 gal of water plus the safers for gnats, that's why she's droopy.

FR XXL day 34 flower 11, 14". She's now the tallest girl in the garden

She also has 4 tops and should be a nice plant, she's in a 7 gal bag thanks to @Jon's nagging I mean encouragement

I'll check out the Red Banana Berry seed later today and hopefully she'll have a tap started.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Nice Set up Man . Here some Gardening Magazines to get some ideas how to plant

 

[Carmen Ray]

If they can't find his owner I'm going to adopt him. I already have 2 cats, they both also just showed up at my door as kittens. I like dogs way better.

Aw, that's really lovely. I hope you have a new canine buddy! He came to you. That says a lot I think.
The plants look great!

Morning again Carmen lol! I'm really hoping they've found his owner and they're happily reunited but I'm not hopeful, his leg wound was healed over without any treatment which makes me think it's been on it's own for a while. But he's in very good shape otherwise, except for what looks like some mange. So we'll see.

Dogs are so expensive both in time and money. Plus I'm not sure how he'd get along with my cats. But if I can get through to the shelter I won't let them put him down. I left a message yesterday, it was impossible to get through to a human, and I'll call again today. Worst case I'll go over there but seeing all those pets that need homes makes me really sad.

Thanks for visiting my friend

Morning! The Red Banana Berry XXL had a nice tap root today so she went into the still moist but not wet seedling mix.

Cream Cookies day 16, 6" tall. She's way bigger than the first one already. I hope so since the first one is the smallest plant I've grown so far, although I'm going to break that record with the Blueberry Glue.

She's enjoying her morning in the sun. No sign of pistils yet knock on wood.

The Forbidden Runtz XXL looks like it's going to end up about 14", maybe a little more. That doesn't sound like much but by my recent standards it's outstanding. I'll take it.

Thanks for visiting and hope you have a great day!

 

[BubbaKush909]

Greetings! It's overcast and ultra-muggy here today so everyone is inside. It's been a busy morning for me although for someone I know this would be like a day off

Cream Cookies day 17, 7.5". This may be her last measurement as I've starting minimal lst, I'm not going to top her. Knock on wood but still no signs of pistils. I hope I get another week or even longer. I ordered some grommets for these bags last year because I couldn't find the ones I already had. Now I can't find the new ones either so I just made a small hole in the bag with a punch, hopefully it will hold.

Forbidden Runtz XXL day 36 flower 13. 14" and so far she's a beauty. I've been supplementing her with calmag and today she also got kelp tea and Safers.

Strawberry Banana day 61 flower 34, 14". The good news here is that the calmag issues seem to be under control, I'm not seeing any further damage for going on a week now. She's had quite the ordeal, first N toxicity and then calmag deficiencies. Despite it all her buds look great and smell amazing. @Jon's went about 70 days so we should be getting close, I'll start checking her trichs at the end of the week.

Red Banana Berry XXL day 1. She poked her head up sometime during the night. I'd like to get her under the sun but it's cloudy, so she's in with her sisters. I also prepped her final home, a layered 5 gal bag loaded with bokashi, frass, Great White, Dynomyco, and of course the Great Lakes water-only soil I've been using. I watered it in with kelp tea to activate the microbes, now it will sit for 10-14 days and grow microbes. She'll be taking the SB's place.

I've also got the 2 dwarf autos - the Blueberry Glue at 8" and the Red Super Skunk at 10". Can't wait for those yields!

That's it for now, thanks for visiting and have a great day!

 

[BubbaKush909]

Beautiful day here today and the 2 youngest got a lot of sun. The gnats are making a bit of a comeback, I think they're coming in with the new plants so I'm going to use Safers with every watering now and I put out some more sticky traps.

Red Banana Berry XXL day 2 she got a full day of sun with the daisies.

Cream Cookies day 18, 7". She's shrunk because of her lst'ing but she's looking great. She got a lot of sun today too. Still no pistils.

Blueberry Glue, day 37, flower 16, 8". She'll be the smallest plant I've ever grown.

Forbidden Runtz XXL also day 37, flower 14, 14". She's the only one in a 7gal bag. She got a full watering yesterday with calmag, kelp tea & Safers. Then I noticed some issues on the leaves that again look like calmag to me. I'm starting to wonder about this soil. It will take 4-5 days for the pot to lighten, then I plan on giving her some bloom nutes. Maybe the feeding/watering she just got will fix the problem. She'll be a great plant for me if I can keep her happy. Back in the old perlite/gh nutes days I never had issues with my plants. Now it's something with almost every freaking plant. I saw about 4 leaves like this.

Sorry this camera randomly changes the orientation of the pics.

Red Super Skunk day 50 flower 19, 10". She'll be the 2nd smallest plant I've ever grown. Today she got a full watering plus calmag, kelp tea, bloom nutes & Safers. Her buds are really sticky. She had some kind of deficiency but it hasn't gotten any worse. Her leaves have been droopy since day 1.

Strawberry Banana day 62 flower 35. I'm looking for her to finish in another 10 days or so. She's only in a 3 gal bag so she drinks almost every day. Today she got Gaia Green Bloom Nutes, Kelp Tea, Calmag and Safers.

Looking ahead I estimate the SB will yield 1.5 - 2z's, RSS 1z, BG .5z. That will be 3z's total from 3 plants... sheesh. The SB is ok. The FR is looking like 3-4, too early to guess the little ones. But this Cream Cookie should surpass the last one, I hope by a lot.

Thanks for visiting!

Morning! Been hot and sunny and dry here all week, the 2 youngsters have spent a lot of time outside.

Forbidden Runtz day 41 flower 18, 14". She's still looking good although she's got some kind of leaf issue, I guess it could be bug bites but she's been inside and it's mostly just gnats that I've seen. My second guess is calmag. Any thoughts @Jon, @Bill284, @Emilya? Yesterday she got a full watering plus calmag, Safers & GG Bloom nutes.

Strawberry Banana day 66 flower 39. She can go anytime, we checked the trichs today still some clear but lots of cloudy and amber. I can't do darkness per se, but from now on when I'm going to chop in the morning I'll just turn the lights off the night before and leave them off until the chop. At least that way they'll get 10hrs or so. My friend says she smells like lilacs. To me she just smells like the sweetest plant I've ever grown. Reminds me of the Bubba Kush from Barneys Farm all those years ago.

Cream Cookies day 22, close to flower. I re-tied her yesterday to make her lean more, I think that's the end of my training. I hope she gets bigger, but I'd say she'll at least be bigger than the first time around. From now on I'll be planting them over to one side, she's right in the middle. @Jon do you think I should top her? Got a feeling I know the answer lol

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day!

 

[Emilya Green]

looks like bugs, but not a clue which ones. Doesn't look nutritional anyway.

Hi BK! So….
- sorry, I got nothing on the spots. Emilya or Bill will I’m sure.
- the frost on your SB is awesome! They look ready anytime like you said! Beautiful. Wait til you taste it.
- NO! Too late to top! You have budlets visibly forming. No more topping in Jonland!

Helpful?

Thanks @Jon! Have you sprayed your girls with anything in flower? I agree about not topping but I thought maybe I was missing something, they look like buds to me too.

The SB is so sticky and sweet-smelling! Do you think you got yours just right or do you wish they went longer or shorter?

Hi BK! I was extremely happy with when I took mine the first time. Doing the semi outdoor thing I go by both trichomes and how the buds look, vs an LED grow where pretty much for me the trichomes rule. If memory serves it was right before day 70 or so. Don’t think any of the four went 70 +. Yours look great on the outside. Are you happy with the trichomes?

 

[BubbaKush909]

Hey @Jon! There are still some clear trichs but mostly cloudy with some amber. Would you have included days of darkness in that grow?

I put a leaf under the scope and don't think it's bugs, at least I couldn't see any signs of them. It looks to me like a calcium deficiency. I hope the bloom feeding fixes this but it will probably go the way of the SB.

Here's scope pics from an affected leaf.

Looks like a pretty random distribution to me, so I'm not spraying her at least for now.

Any advice is most welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
