Welcome to my fifth grow! Two years ago, I started my very first cannabis grow with the Easy Rider strain from Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds. As it turned out, that harvest was better in quality than any of my next three grows. After my first grow, I started experimenting with different mediums, nutrients and techniques and while I learned a great deal, I never quite got back to the quality I was so fortunate to enjoy the first time around. Chalk it up to beginner's luck I guess!
With that in mind, I'm returning to my very first strain and trying again with the knowledge and experience that I have gained over the past 2 years.
The twist to this grow will be that in addition to using the last 2 seeds of my original Easy Rider strain, I will add the 3 seeds that were produced when half of the first grow hermied due to heat/light stress. While I was vigilant with my relentless "search and destroy" missions to remove any and all stamens, at least one survived my efforts and pollinated a small bud near the bottom of one of the ladies. To round out the grow to an even 6 seeds, I will add one of the 20 free seeds of unknown strain that were sent along with my original order of 40 seeds, which comprised the 4 strains of my first 4 grows. Should any of the seeds fail early on, they will be replaced by a free seed. By the way, this will be my first multiple strain grow and my first grow with an unknown strain.
The grow setup remains nearly identical to my last grow apart from the removal of SNS 604A/B and Molasses from the nutrient line-up as well as the return to soil as the medium. I will continue to employ GLR during vegetation as well as the inverted light schedule. I'm also planning on employing CFL sidelighting throughout the entire grow, as long as temperatures can be kept below the vegetating and flowering maximums of 95° and 85°, respectively.
Today, I placed 1 Free seed and 5 Easy Rider seeds (2 original and 3 hermie) into 3 separate containers of tap water. Within the next 24-48 hours, I hope to see some tap roots.
