You guys will get a kick out of this. My brother wants to grow weed, so I sent him a light, a 3x3, a pot, a bag of FFOF, and a bag of GeoFlora Veg and Bloom, and frass and bokashi and Great White. I gave him a very short list of stuff he had to get himself, like calmag, EWC, and a fan. Oh yeah, I sent him auto seeds too. A bunch of varieties. This was months ago. I FaceTime prepped the soil with home and told him how to pop seeds and all that crap. But…we are talking about my little brother. Also my lead guitar player. At that, he’s amazing, best in the area by far. However, the rest of his life is, shall we say, a bit scattered. Like I said, he’s a guitar player, and the plants don’t actually clap, cheer or tell him how great he is. So I was dubious that even one plant would get any attention, and I knew for sure he’d do zero research and never text me or call me to ask any questions about anything. Which he did not. So four times he tried and failed. Either drowned the plant or burned it to a crisp. He wouldn’t listen to me. After those attempts he finally decided to say, okay, maybe you know more than me, what should I do? Since then he’s been better about contact but not much. This is the brother I’m waiting to get out of the house we are moving into in PA. Anyway, despite all of that, he has finally gotten a plant (auto) to flower successfully. Funny what happens when you let go of your ego and actually listen to someone and learn something. Lmao. Fricking guitar players. In any event, he calls me this morning and sends me some pictures and tells me what he’s been doing. You guys really would have laughed your asses off. I did as soon as I got off the phone. It’s funny - even someone who has done as much as take care of a house plant has a better head start than my brother, who knows zero about any plant related anything.
So here’s my brother’s first plant to get to flower in reasonable health. I asked him which seed it was. He says I have no idea I just grabbed one. I said why did I label and separate them? Don’t you wanna know what you’re growing? He said yeah but how?
I said well, there’s this thing called the internet that works pretty good to start…..
I also labeled the seeds, so there’s that….
For a lead guitar player he’s doing okay!!
Lmao!
