A perpetual schedule huh? Since I'm just a new cannabis grower, I've certainly wondered about it. In my mind it all depends on how long my current crop lasts once it's finished and cured a bit. I really don't want to have to go buy more street weed and I'm very conservative with my usage. If I get lucky here (and I certainly do feel fortunate so far), my stash and my harvests might just work out. Things are certainly getting close and fortunately I have one auto in the mix at day 45 and one small photo-period getting real close.

With all that said, I'm thinking about running my tent pretty much as single grows from seed, veg, feed, harvest, clean it up, rinse and repeat. But then again, I'm trying desperately to get two clones to root. I'm just going to stay flexible...haha

I'm loving my LED too. So far my power bill hasn't been a shocker.

Single grows are nice, it sure makes the perpetual schedule a lot easier to manage. I'm sending you some good Karma for those clones for sure! I have a couple that took almost two weeks to finally get some feet. ;-)

Amazing Partner! But I wouldn't expect anything less from the Queen DIY.

You've got frost galore going on.

Thanks Partner, and glad to see I was put back on the Throne!

Turkey basters work great to remove the runoff in saucers of big, heavy pots too.

Thanks!
I did that right after I watered a couple of the vegging girls and completely forgot to post that part. I used the drawn water from the bases to water my houseplants.

Watering spider plants with down curved leaves is my largest home watering challenge


You've been a busy poster this mornfternoon (totally unpronouncable word - IMO,) in an enjoyabe way, showing off the frosty White Widow, labelling photos of up-potted plants, the usual excellence.

Nice rant on the like and thank button. I'm just here to do a journal, help out a little, pick peoples brains a little, be with friendly people. POTM, NOTM, MOTM, most thanked person, etc is for those other people who really excel. I hope they enjoy

I thought I might dip my toe into LEDs this month, what with the two different lights that went out, but I just replaced bulbs. Pennywise and pound foolish, but it's the way to responsible stay within my monthly budget.

If your budget allows you, I just know you are going to love going to LED. I am always in awe when I see the healthy look of the plants grown under these. No heat issues, no noisy and heavy ballasts.....so many plus advantages.
Kid in a candy store here lately looking at all of these remote controlled LED systems and incredible features coming out on them to choose color spectrum's for different growing times, but I'm going to keep them simple. They work, and that's all I need.

Doc Bud went out of his way this past week to tell us 90% of what he personally smokes are sugar leaves. He considers them filet mignon, and your HimHer is loaded with them! Good for you Canna.

The turkey blaster idea was brilliant. I never thought of using it that way, although I have done as John suggested, so I have one with my grow equipment.

Thank you for the rant. As prolifically as I post, it's never been about numbers. The numbers freak me out, so I try not to notice.

Yes, I read his post. It makes me take a much different view of what I will be doing with the sugar leaves now for sure.
Thanks

100% of the plants I grow are used for medicinal purposes....my patient #1 likes the sugar leaves to make tincture, salve, and dry caps for pain....she makes a tea out of the stems...another pain patient is very particular about only taking the very best of my buds....it's funny what each person's taste is....me, I am left with the plant dregs for my own personal use and seem to be fine.....I wash my buds as well....am growing a Darkstar indica as one of my offerings at the moment per the recommendation of Cajuncelt so I can make the oil... I will be asking for help when that day comes during the winter months when I am ready to take the leap....it's all good.....

There are lots of trichomes hanging around on the stems, they can be used for infusing cooking oils and lots of other uses as you will discover. Left overs are a good thing.
When you get ready to make that oil, as John said...there is help all around you Sis. Yes, "it's all good".

Never stepped down as far as I knew.

I did for a day.....you must have been enjoying some of that awesome smoke you have readily at your disposal.

Princess DIY at it again! Looking darn good Partner.

No worries, I needed the sabbitcal. My subjects on the homefront were getting a bit too restless....



Case in point on my mentioning waiting up to two weeks for clones to root, I checked my one and only THC Bomb clone a bit ago and we finally have two feet! This clone started out with three or 4 nodes, I had to cut it down twice because it was rotting at the tip. I was down to one node and it finally decided to root.
This poor mother plant had been through so much outside that it's going to really appreciate the second life to be a bit more carefree....I hope.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow - Where Everything Changes - Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!

Speaking of THC Bomb...I'm not positively sure why this plant is revegging at the tops, but I think it's due to the sudden change in lighting and temps when moving from outside to garage and from there to the warm basement. Just a theory.
It's nice, it's pretty...but It's going to be hitting that LED unit shortly and there is zero room to move it up any more.

So, what I'm thinking is cutting those reveg tops off as clones. I can't think of any reason not to do it. Anybody have any cons to this?

What's the light schedule in the basement? I'd take re-vegging over hermieing any day.

The basement schedule is 12/12. Everything down there is flowering schedule.

Frankly, I'm really surprised it didn't Hermie with all it's been through. I self induced a bit of a hermie with the pollination, I'll accept that gladly.

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow - Where Everything Changes - Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!

"hermieing"
That really doesn't look right but it pronounces better than "hermying" LOL

Didn't think about until after seeing it again.

ROFL, I almost replied using that "hermieing" and thought the same thing. Spell check no likey. ;-)

I hope you are anticipating the afternoon and weekend plans...

It's FRRRRIIIIDAAAAAY! I have the whole weekend off. What's a grower to do? Well.....grow! (and salivate on things to come)

Hey over here! We have been using your pattern for pots around here! It works fantastic!

I can't wait to see what you have in mind for another seed order. You have good tastes!

I am so happy to hear that....er....READ that. LOL Because of you, I got 5 more done yesterday morning. I was farther along on them than I had thought. ;-)

One of the bean choices for sure is going to be the Wild Thailand Ryder....and I'm really thinking I want some blueberry of some kind. I have to look at what's out there for the best oil making.

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow - Where Everything Changes - Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!

So, here's the update on Lil' Purp. It didn't take rocket science to realize this kid was in trouble. There was zero growth for the last 3 days. When I reviewed the video, I saw movement...not growth. Very little movement and she finally just drooped a bit and stayed that way.
What I really wanted to see was the roots. Were they rotting? Were they growing?
They weren't rotted, but looked like they were close to starting that. They weren't real white. LOL
So, she got a transplant into some drier soil. I transplanted her a bit sideways to see if that might be helpful later for training, but mostly because I wanted to see if she would stand up straight after the transplant. Cuz, I'm just curious on those things. LOL

Here's the one and a half day quick video of the result: (the little blips in the soil are from it settling and drying with the fan)

As you can see, she came to life. I think she's going to be just fine.

Sorry about that beginning title not showing entirely. Ooops.....

 

[B A R]

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow - Where Everything Changes - Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!

Just wondering Partner; why did you transplant her sideways? I've done this same thing but with more mature taller seedlings (at least 4 nodes high) against the edge of the pot to lay them down reversed back across the pot.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow - Where Everything Changes - Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!

In retrospect I probably should have planted her off to the side. But I had thoughts of seeing her stand up on the video moreso at the time.

I think it will wind up going straight up within a couple days. I thought the roots would be completely rotted, and should have been, based on how wet that soil was beneath her.
Thanks for those pics, I may give that a try with one of my next batch of seedlings.

I have 4 more to make, we finished 3 last night. Just need one more by tomorrow when I will do some transplanting I hope!

Blueberry varieties can be fantastic. Yummi berry goodness!

Thanks Dr Bob, I looked at a few this morning...but after reading a PM just now, I'm thinking on some "Red Poison". It is something that helps to control Anxiety. I have someone in mind that really needs that and I would love to help.

Is anyone else up with the sunrise like me? LOL

Today's activities, I just moved Himher to the veg room under the HPS. I need to move that growth along so I can get it done!
The plants in that room went under the Budmaster XG in the bathroom with Lil' Purp and two of them went downstairs to the 12/12 schedule.
My grow right now is a little unorganized for me, I'm looking forward to getting on that perpetual schedule so it can be done in a more routine way.

Heading out right now to put plastic sheeting around the back deck to keep the cold away from the back of the house. The wind is supposed to be down today, I pray. Doing that alone with wind is truly not a fun job. Cuss words come out in droves.....;-)
Then clear out the underground sprinklers, get the lawn tractor winterized and in the barn.....
Clean my kitchen (atrociously random things left on counters from coming home in the middle of the night and scrapping up dinner)...
THEN..I'm going to enjoy a vape on something recently harvested. Haven't decided on which one yet, but I'm thinking the Sleestack Skunk because I have more seeds of that one.

Chatty...chatty... have another cuppa....

I was awake at 6:30 my time. Yeah, something about surviving that seems to kick strong women into overdrive. You're more productive than me. Although...... It occurs to me that writing is a very productive process, isn't it? Ok.

If I were closer I'd get out there and cuss at the elements as we wrestled things into position. I kinda miss all that outdoor work in contact with the earth.

Enjoy Canna.

LOL,
yeah writing is productive. I've cut WAAAAYYYY back on that because it's time consuming as well.

Cuss words and me never hit it off really well, it usually comes out in some new form that nobody but me would understand...

but then I'm quite comfortable knowing that no one is hearing it and scratching their heads thinking I'm klazy.

Canna, I'll toss out there that DarkStar is my favorite anti-anxiety/insomnia smoke. I haven't made RSO out of it, but have made BHO and the yields are excellent.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow - Where Everything Changes - Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!

I was completely whooped out, that plastic sheeting job took me hours. Too many things to have to go around and cut to fit so no wind rips it up. UGH! It's done now, ought to keep at least a 10 degree difference at that slider door off the kitchen leading to the deck.

So, I got some of the Sleestack Skunk buds out....picked a small one and went to vapin'
Within about 10 minutes or so my energy came back and an overall happy with myself feeling came all over me. I got to work on the Kitchen, made myself one heck of a dinner and danced around like I had just had the best sleep and ready to take on the world. LOL It wasn't a speedy type of effect, it was just energetic.
I had no rushes, no panicky moments, no anxiety or any kind of paranoid issues. Tasted almost like pine but a sweet pine with a hint of a citrus back up..if that makes sense?
It's about 1 1/2 hours later and I'm relaxing. Very calming and relaxed. Not sleepy or tired, just calm and worry freeish.
I like it. I will be growing more of this.

I'm terrible with smoke reports, but there it is.



EDIT: I did get one doozy of a headache.....

..cuz I decided to have some ice cream....BRAIN FREEZE!
