Long time lurker first time poster . It’s about time I join the group and get my learnin on . I’m Slowburn . Been growing for about a year now . I’m on my second grow now . From clone of my last harvest I have a pineapple chunk clone 7 weeks flowering tomorrow .
I use a 3x3 with a 600w air cooled digi ballast with 450 cfm fan . I use advanced nutrients gmb and that’s it until I can afford a little bit more but I’m willing to take the baby steps .

Let me know how to get successful

Hey man! Welcome to even though your a long time lurker. Nice to see you finally post!



Do you plan on starting a journal?

 

[SlowBurnToker]

Cool thanks backlip. My next grow I’ll be doing some greenhouse seeds kings kush . So definitely be on lookout . As for now this chunk seems to be going well and wouldn’t wanna start a journal now

 

[Orlando Scout]

Welcome SlowBurn!! You should consider starting a grow journal. It’s a great way to get pointers and meet some of our talented members. Your girl is looking great, keep up the hard work!!

 

[SlowBurnToker]

Thanks Orlando . Well as far as this grow goes I may share . But grow journals are a big reason for me even coming on the forums to spread the word and to learn . And who doesn’t love a good budporn

 

[Sierra Cowboy]

Welcome Slow, being a "long time Lurker" you already know what an amazing group you are joining. Looking forward to seeing the greenhouse journal, nice looking Chunk!

 

[SlowBurnToker]

Cowboy it’s one of the best forums to me and I’m definitely looking for to meeting the King too

 

[Scottsquatch]

Welcome slow. Great group as I'm sure you know from your lurking. Good luck on your grow.

 

[SlowBurnToker]

The best of em Scottsquatch . Lurking kept all my early noob problems in check . Never had to ask a question . The answers were always there for me . Turned me into a pretty good beginner I’d say

 

[Scottsquatch]

Nice. I just had to call on them for assistance with a problem I was having (I'm only on my third run ever) and as usual, It was sorted right out.

Hey slow, you into landrace strains at all?

 

[SlowBurnToker]

@Scottsquatch I’ve never actually dug into pure landrace strains . It would be a goal future wise to strictly grow landrace strains bc of the simple pure essence. I feel as if I have to try my hand a few more times before I can try my hand .

 

[Pinktiger777]

Welcome! You will probably love this place - I do. Everyone is extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. I'm too new to think myself able to teach anyone, but if you have questions about your grow, I will try to help or steer you in the right direction. I do indoor growing and cloning in hydroponics.

 

[Scottsquatch]

Nah ,they are not any more mystical to grow than the countless hybrids. If you can grow them you can grow a landrace strain. The only difference is that they are not quite as readily available as the hybrids are. That said, they are becoming more available/popular all the time. The reason I like them better is because of two main reasons among a few others. 1st, I find that landrace strains are pretty much the only pure sativa you can get anymore. I love sativa. It makes me alert, creative, and in an overall good mood. Also, they are the plants responsible for euphoric and "trippy" stones. They don't always do that, but when you get some that do.... Well, that's a real treat. Indicas are awesome for killing pain and relaxiation. But they don't do it for me during waking hours. No bueno.

 

[Scottsquatch]

The second reason I like landrace strains is that they haven't been bred to lower CBD and other good cannabinoids in the quest for higher THC levels. It is widely believed that when together, these other cannabinoids act in a synergistic way to make the high more complete/intense. It is sometimes called the "entourage effect." We are also discovering that these other cannabinoids are also beneficial to us in other ways we are just beginning to understand.

 

[SlowBurnToker]

@Pinktiger777 I already love it here and any information is always welcome for the masses . Remember when you were a lurker trying to learn . Well I’m always willing to learn and try new techniques .
@Scottsquatch i love the energetic feeling that a good Sativa gives me in the morning. But as you mentioned it’s hard to get pure strains and for a good price . Hybrids are so readily available for cheaper prices . I’ve always been a little bit weary of sativas and the godforbidden stretch as I love a long veg and lst

 

[SlowBurnToker]

@Scottsquatch what would you consider to be good landrace strains

 

[Scottsquatch]

Check out Ace seeds my friend. Awesome source of many landrace strains. Both sativa and indica. Also, they make a lot of F1 hybrids crossing landrace strains together. You should check them out. I wish I'd known about them earlier. I'm sitting on a ton of Indica dominant hybrids now... I'll still grow and smoke them, but as a nighttime smoke, I probably won't need to buy any more for many years to come. Go check out Ace seeds. You won't be sorry. Seedsman carries most of their gear too.
