Critical Kush Guerrilla Garden

All caught up Joe, such a fun an entertaining journal. I can tell you are a kind man .

I saw at the beginning that you transplanted because of stretchy seedlings . my seedling were stretchy and I just tuck their stems into the medium a half inch or so and they were fine;) just a thought, easier than transplant maybe .

The girls look nice and healthy!

Haha I can relate to your paranoid family, my dad is pretty old school;)

Have a good night.✌️...

That's very kind of you to say, I really appreciate it :)

Thank you for the pointer on the stretching. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't follow the rules of starting off in cubes on their own.

I do all the usual prep and then when it comes to putting the seed in the rockwool/peat cube, I basically pot it there and then and put a thin layer of soil over the top. I don't think I'd be able to poke it down without snapping it ;)

Don't know if it's scientifically true regarding the method but my thinking has always been natural selection and survival of the fittest. If they can make it out if that first bit I've made slightly harder then it should stand them in good stead for any troubles later on, the first repotting was after 4 days so maybe there's a method in the madness?

Thanks for going through it all, hopefully we've got a lot more to show here.

Will keep on drooling over the cakes you make too

Day 13- Everything looking good after our repotting yesterday. Between 420 and getting the house ready for Christmas, I'm cream crackered (knackered or tired)

Off to bed for a few hours, the animal companions have been fed and walked in that zombie like state again, hopefully they won't chew my fingers off while I go into this coma ;)

Does that make your black market price go through the roof? Or is it close enough that people just go across state to get weed?

I’m familiar with the geography of your country so know it might not be as easy as driving to a legal state (might be a 5 hour drive?)

What has weed being made legal done for you as a grower (don’t know whether you’re personal or commercial) and as a smoker over there?

Prices are all over the place. You can definitely tell when someone made a big run from Colorado, quality goes up prices go down. The medical states surrounding me have strict grow laws so, although some of that weed enters my state it isnt a significant quantity to affect the market in a meaningful way and you cant get a medical card unless you are a resident of those states. They made a 100lbs bust earlier this year coming from out west and it has been really hard to find a decent hookup, thats why I have started growing my own medicine.

I have considered doing a run to Colorado, just for myself, but I am afraid of the border vultures. Even for a misdemeanor offense I could lose my license, and livelyhood.

Makes total sense! I risk there new lives every time I fold them in. survival of the fittest;) I don't use cubes either but was thinking of trying that for my next grow. Your babies look great so whatever your doing, keep on keeping on man.Take care for now

Had a ridiculously long sleep, I'm trying to cut out caffeine so the last few days have had a hint of lethargy about them even though it's been productive in the garden.

So after a chamomile and honey tea with crumpets for breakfast (which is actually dinner time. Told you it was a big sleep;) I went to check on the bubbas after the repot yesterday

Was pleasantly surprised

They look healthier than yesterday and have grown a small amount. Enough that I can see that much wanted 3rd nodule poking through.

Keeping my fingers crossed it's not a fluke. Hopefully the transplant wasn't as stressful as I thought it was

Stay lucky urrrbody :)

Thank you very much Newty, what have you been concocting today?
Click to expand...

Haha not much for us today. I'm practicing leaving them alone... I already checked them twice and fed the pantry peeps their daily dose of clone newty juice! The big girls are getting a flush tomorrow so I'm letting them dry out today;) I'm off to work so I'll check y'all later.✌️..... first a prework toke;)

You've been feeding them caffeine? No wonder they are growing so well!
:adore:

Sorry mate, I'm autistic, I don't know whether you're joking or not!

No caffeine for the bubbas. Just trying to stop my intake of anything that ends in 'eine', 'aine' or 'amine' ;)

Only joking geez. I don't sleep as it is so the four or five cups of Java a day don't help. Been on the decaff for a couple of days. Had a long old sleep today but woke up feeling fresh as a nun on Sunday ;)
 
It was a joke, I am known for my bad jokes. You can feel free to assume that everything that sounds like nonsense from me is a joke. Makes life easier for everyone I know :goof:

Haha not at all, now I know it's a joke it's not actually a bad one. You made me chuckle so it's all good. Just got to get past the initial confusion on my part ;)

How goes it in your garden?
 
Today was a good day! Fiona, the lone remaining bagseed is starting to produce tons of trichs on the leaves. Mulva the blue kush got her first feed 1/2 strength and I have prepared the hempy bucket where she will live for the next few months. I plan to transplant this weekend, hopefully she will have her first set of full fan leaves growing by then. It will only be day 12 for her so I might be pushing it with a transplant but ill play it safe. I keep a turtle totem in the garden that is holding a sign that says "take it slow" so I dont get to impatient with them.

Haha good to hear it mate, I'm happy for you. I'll head over in a mo and have a look even though you've built up a nice bit of mental imagery ;)

And it's always good to have a totem or lucky charm

Been with me all around the world on some crazy adventures (always forced, never a holiday but still a bloody good time nonetheless) and has been hung up in every garden since I done my first 13 years ago.

A little bit of magic or faith never hurt anyone :)
 
You just stirred a childhood memory on how I got it though!! Was on a school trip to a convent and saw a nun drop it. I stole it. Felt bad about it when I got back from my first forced sabbatical and went to the convent where I'd nicked it from.

The Sister laughed (obviously not the one who dropped it, all nuns seem to be elderly, I went back to the scene of the crime 18 years later, so I assume she has passed or was just in another part of the convent....) and said I was forgiven (3 Hail Mary's and a donation after I might add) but all is good.

You're the first person I've ever told that, feel like a weight has been lifted off of me shoulders ;)
 
Confessions over let's move on swiftly to the garden.

I haven't done much today in regards to spraying or feeding. I was delighted when I opened the flap this morning so apart from a targeted syringed feed around the bottom of the stems again and a quick spray (you know the quick "one, two" that starts and ends almost in one movement)

It's a very delicate manoeuvre but I do not want to over water which I am guilty of nearly every grow. They was looking "peng" as we say round here (the g is not harsh so it's like saying "Pen" but as you would when you have the flu or a cold. It becomes "Peng".

Anyhoo.

"Peng!" was my first thought as I opened the flap and saw the little bit of growth I mentioned earlier.

I've been checking all day but the RH has stayed at 58 (my favourite) with temps at 23 at canopy level and 26 uptop.

I didn't LST or bend during my last grow and it was my best one yet for potency. I will be FIMing as I did last time and then trying to leave the plants alone as much as possible before heavy defoliation and lollipopping ten days or so into flowering. Yep I said ten days into flowering. Don't send me hate mail or ask if I'm ok, it's served me well ;)

We've had a cold snap here but the temps stayed within range last night, a little bit of a chill doesn't do them any harm. I'm staying on top of it today with the syringe feeding and minimal spraying. I checked the run off of one of the pots and didn't like the speed it came out. Will have to pack the soil down a bit, had the efficiency of Swiss Cheese tbh.

But I'm happy with the results so far, should be able to FIM by Saturday morning

Stay safe

I woke up to 14F weather this morning after a mild fall. RH has been super low for weeks with the furnace, im afraid I wont be able to keep up with watering towards the end of the grow. Glad to hear things are good in the garden and thank you for your story. I had a bit of a klepto streak in my when I was a youth as well.

It might have done you a favour depending how far into your grow you are, less is more towards the end so it might be sweet :)
