I only wish there was more I could do to help someone out.

I think the world need to stop and sit back and say how good does it feel to make someone else's life or spirits or day better.

Man wouldn't be nice if it happened to me?


Just pay it forward to someone you trust and knows would do the same.

No joke man 420 saved my life and my ways of thinks by about everyone .

There is good humans still out there . I was like you and exhausted and tired of fighting my demons dumb talk in head .

I felt like people are just out for themselves doing themselves have those own gangs they confine to.

Old lady has a hard time.reaching for somehting at grocery store now a days everyone just walks by and kids laugh and you tube it.

No more respect anymore for a stranger or another human.

I'm not perfect bro far from it..

But we can make a change we just have to try ?

update-hey everyone welcome to my journal, so this is just a quick next day update to my last one , I did a light defoliation, only fan leaves blocking prime bud sites , as little as possible during flower. I did some light LST. Aka tuck and bend . I also watered ph’d @ 6.8 , with a water temp of 19 degrees Celsius.

Feeding !!!- Thats right feeding time is soon , on may 18th I transplanted this plant from a 3 gal fabric pot to a 10gal fabric pot . My choice of dry amendments is gaja green organics , for veg I use a 75% all purpose 4-4-4 And 25% power bloom 2-8-4 ratio. Now I am into starting phase of flower I am going to do a 50/50 ratio , and at week 5 I will do a 75% PB 2-8-4 and 25% 4-4-4 . So when I top dress I use 2tbs per gal of medium , I have 14 gal of medium in my 10 gal smart pot ( who would have thought) I too dress scratch it into the soil and I use a pressure sprayer to water it in , then I water the remainder with a watering can.


Environment- 27 deg Celsius when lights are on , RH @ 65% . 18 deg Celsius when lights are off RH @ 70% - fans are constantly on moving air around , I can’t light a lighter anywhere below the lights.



The good stuff- sorry to bore you with all that information , it is important to know thoe. I enjoy reading the more detailed journals. So let’s jump into photos

so the first set of photos is in real colour , and I’m gonna have to upload the second set after as I still haven’t figured out how to att more then 10 photos at a time .
ALSO. I realized added photos as thumbnails you can’t see any details I have done this my whole journal and I am very sorry for this , I will only be adding full size images from now on.

A lot has changed , I am so sorry for not uploaded full images , I realized you cannot see anything on them. It took me this long to figure it out again I am sorry
We have pre flowers ,YESS!!

I am very happy with how she’s filled out, this was my first scrog and the results speak for itself , I will always grow like this in a tent

Even in this early stage i am happier then my last grow and I feel like this is going to be a better end result

Every time I open this tent I am amazed

There are more photos to come , the will be under the light of the led . But it’s safe to say the plant is happy.

 

[KingJoe83]

Greta stuff awesome update man.

Happy Canada Day bro

To us

 

[Pennywise]

Looks like they’re going to stack up well. Journals should be detailed that way you can go back later for solid info.

Continuation update- everything was said in the above update , I just can’t figure out how to add more the 10 photos at a time , can someone help my with this ??

Back into the photos

I just wanted to take pics with the lights on

So happy to see buds starting , it’s been a long time coming for this big girl

I am just amazed at how many bud sites this plant has produced

I couldn’t be happier with this grow so far ,now I’m just curious , the 2 smaller plants I have in the tent , I want to put them outside but it’s 2 months away from 12 hours of darkness so I’m wondering if it would be worth me putting them outside and re vegging them , I know I could get a lot more out of them and honestly the tent is crammed with the one in there . Can anyone help me or give me some advice, will 2 months be worth the time it takes to re veg the plant or should I just let it run in the tent , ??

Thanks for your time and the support you guys show me , it’s an honour to be apart of this community and hopefully I can become a valued member in this society , have a great day and happy growing everyone

 

[Pennywise]

It should reveg in that time

Greta stuff awesome update man.

Happy Canada Day bro

To us

Thanks joe , happy c day brotherman , just wanted to let you know that stuff lasted until last night , we’ll have to figure a way to get another seed to you my friend

 

[DeanWest89]

Thank you penny , your absolutely right , I read a lot of old journals from people , I am one person who needs the details , I am glad my going overboard on things can benifit somewhere in my life

 

[KingJoe83]

Yeah dean

Id say come up tonight me and wife are just lazing around Bon fire tonight .

Drinking relaxing . But not so easy to say oh on route with as many seeds as you have running around in your house been destroying front little deck . Going to home depot to looks at my options for that plastic deck or composite deck is.



I'm off for three days woot woot..

Hope you got it off to bud

 

[DeanWest89]

It should reveg in that time

How long do you think it will take to re veg , I only have 2 months of longer days then nights will I be able to get a lot of new growth in 2 months ? Now the plant is only in a 1 gal fabric pot it’s almost a waste I’ll only get an lunch off the thing where it is , I think it will do better outside i just don’t know much about re vegging a plant that’s 2 weeks ish into flower , thanks for your help dude

 

[Pennywise]

As small as it is I’m not sure it would be worth it. Probably get more indoors.

 

[Carcass]

Wow,the big girl is growing up!
Too many budsites to count-that's always a good thing...

more the 10 photos at a time

In a journal,you're limited to 10 pics per post--anywhere else,post up as many as you want,but in a journal,it's ten...the "powers that be" must have a reason for that...

UPDATE- hey everyone welcome to my journal , I hope you guys are learning as much as I have on this run, this is my second ever indoor grow , and my first LED grow ever. Also my first scrog , so I have popped quite a few Cherry’s on this run.


Not much has changed but I did do a 50/50 ratio feeding last night of 50% all purpose 4-4-4 gaja green organics and 50% power bloom 2-8-4 . I watered in ph’d @6.8 this will carry me until week 5 of flower , and that will be my last feeding , she should start to fade perfectly before harvest , even thoe it’s organics you still want the plan to use all the nutes in the soil and the leaves for a smooth smoke , so you still need to flush but it’s a slow well planned out process and the timing has to be perfect.





ENVIRONMENT IN TENT- when lights are on canopy temp is at 28 deg Celsius ( I want it to be colder but it’s the best I can do in the summer, when lights are off its at 18 deg Celsius with a RH of 55% - winds are blowing strong keeping everything dancing nicely.


HELP!! I still can’t figure out how to add more then 10 photos at a time can someone please help me , I am trying to better my journaling skills here , thanks guys and gals .


Let’s jump into photos-
First few photos are my temps , 1st is canopy level, 2nd is on top of my lights ,3rd is at the root zone

Ontop of my lights

Root zone temps

I did a 50/50 blend of each for my pre flower and brings me 5 weeks into flower . I put 50/50 to help with vegetative growth during first phase flower and the 50% power bloom for more p and k


This is what I use to slow the souls dry out time , works nice , roots are popped out of the soil and are right underneath it

This photo was inspired by @carcass

This one is for the sponsees @SmokeSara
I thought this was a good pic for you folks at mars hydro

I wanted some different angled shots compared to the usual

I am just amazed at what can be done with a scrog , especially when you can’t grow many plants this is the way to go for sure

So I do have more photos - TOO BE CONTINUED ......

 

[Pennywise]

Looking spot on, I'm sure Sara will love that Mars shot.

 

[Carcass]

that Mars shot.

It looks like a cover for a Mars brochure-nice shot(s),Dean

I also want to say , happy Canada day weekend everyone. We are 152 years old one of the youngest country’s , thank goodness we legalized marijuana.

CONTINUATION OF THE CONTINUATION!!!! - Hey everyone back for the continuation of the photos for the last upload ‍, this is annoying
I hope you all find this as humorous as I do. I find myself falling asleep when writing my journals I have severe sleep apnea so i tend to fall asleep in weird places, I could start a journal on that alone, I fall asleep sitting standing , in the middle of conversation, and in public places if I sit too long. Just a little fun fact .

Here we go
Pictures continued

I took these pics from right to left , it was a nightmare loading them in order

Middle

Left side

All I can think of is “BAAAAAM!!!! PEANUT BUTTER AND JAAAAAAAM!!! haha love it

Some pre bud porn , I think this is going to stack up nicely , thanks for the advice @Pennywise

So this is my mess above the lights , I ran out of zip ties so I had to throw it together for now , it is hurting my airflow and it will be organized , just not today lol . Buying this 5’3” tent is great for size but if I didn’t have LED it would not be possible. This tent would be way too hot and I would have to grow 6” plants so happy with the led and space saving

I know you guys must be sick of the same photos I need to get creative , would be nice to have a proper camera to do so

This concludes this update , things are gonna start taking off soon, can wait to see these pop can buds start to form , the mint chocolate og trait is egg shaped dense buds , riddled with trichomes and full off terpenoids. This is one tasty strain , and definatly a heavy hitter. I think this strain belongs in my top 10

I hope you all have a safe and fun Canada day weekend . Happy birthday Canada .
Have a great day and as always guys , happy growing
