Journal update
Hey everyone . Hope y’all are keeping safe and enjoying the time with your loved ones, and of course enjoying some comfort food.
So few things have changed since the last update . I built a platform out of old metal closet shelves so I could keep my fabric pots off the ground so air can access all sides of it , it also makes it so I can put my pots side by side , and in this 2x2 I can fit 9 2 gal fabric pots so I am going to attempt to stuff 9 plants in here starting flower at different times to tray and work a perpetual harvest out of this grow space.
I am going to tray all kinds of training methods from the nugbuckets 8 cola manifold to main-lining , quadlined from 4 all the way to 10 main stems . I will try to focus on growing 8-10” buds . Some I will lollypop some I won’t I want to see what gets me the best result in this small space. Idk how it’s going to work out but I’m diving in head first on this one .
NEWS!!!- so in the near future I will be installing a 4x8 grow tent in my cold cellar after I modify the room a bit , it has a 4” exhaust hole to the outside through the 1 1/2 ft of concrete . I’m going to invest in some styrofoam insulation lay it down on the floor, expansion foam the steel roof , and seal the walls up , I’ll have to install a 30 amp circuit to run it’s own power to. I’ll also run a lead upstairs so my tent in my room won’t have anything drawing from it but what’s in the basement and I’ll never go past half of 3500watts, so there will be a steady power supply. I plant to have a vault of prized phenos to clone from, in the next 10 years I should have some special strains tucked away. I want to be one of thoes guys 40 years from now with prized phenos of strains that a will probably be long gone. I just wish when I started smoking I was smart enough to buy seeds of all the strains I liked . I could have some special stuff by now.
So things have progressed a lot in the last week or 2 , I started another mint chocolate og seed . The first one I started wasn’t looking promising but she’s turning around.
I have taken a lot of clones, topped plants transplanted plants , PLANTS DIED. So I learned a lot . But life goes on, I do have a chance at a redemption with the strain . I was lucky to have a clone well rooted when the plant got the chop. So that’s a plus on this.
I also bought a ton of new soil to build a new batch. I’ve added glacial rock dust , and volcanic minerals plus which contains a ton of minerals, it contains a lot of micro nutrients and will just add to the diversity of the soil , all the products are mined here in Canada , the gaja green products are also made in Canada. My supersoil is made locally so really try to support local company’s and stores.
fermented dandelion nutrients !!!
it’s almost time for me to try making fermented dandelion nutrients . I got this from @Emilya last year and I can’t wait to get this underway I’m just waiting for more yellow flowers to come up then I’m gonna get to pulling seperate the roots wash the roots , put them in their own milk jugs with their weight in brown sugar with water shake it up and let them ferment it’s been a few months since I read the post but I will refresh myself to make sure I’m doing it right and here we go. Super excited to try this out I was inspired by it. And it will only cost me a few milk jugs and a lot of brown sugar.
that’s all the news I have this update let’s get into some pictures

Bubbas Gift F1
Okay so that’s it for the 2x2 side .
Clone tray #1
Bubbas gift F2 was thrown in here as a last ditch effort to get the plant to grow out after topping , it’s now bushes out enough to clone , I will cut it into clones . And start over with a healthy size root zone( I won’t break the tap root this time lol)
White og top clone
Clone tray #2
Northern lights in the back/ bubbas gift
This is an Amherst sour diesel F1 growing in my window again I like to mess around with things . It’s all about the lesson learned to me . And the only way I learn is by messing up and making mistakes for myself . I’ve always learned the hard way in life.
Anyways I appreciate all of you taking the time to help me out along the way, sometimes I wish I had more people following my stuff but when I sit back and think about it . The people I do have following and helping me in my opinion are top notch members and I am absolutly honoured to have you guys here .
And you guys and gals are the top quality , I have been fortunate enough to find people who have only improved my grow Game. I have been made a better grower , and honestly a nicer person . This group had brought nothing but positivity in my life. I struggle with a few things in life , once of thoes things was growing Cannabis .
so to the men and women who make this 420magazine family possible . Thanks you
thank you
