When you plant your seeds straight in soil like I do, you always put the little button down or if your confused just lay the seeds sideways. It'll find it's way.Documenting a failed effort to grow a Mexican Sativa
One of the strains I tried to kick off this grow was Mexican Sativa. Only the 4th seed of 5 germinated, and when it broke the soil it did so first with it's root! I have never had that happen before, so I replanted it right side up, and a couple of days later it broke the soil correctly the second time. However, my eyesight is not as sharp as it used to be and I failed to notice that the membrane remained wrapped around the cotyledons, it was really difficult removing the membrane which I eventually did using a small pair of tweezers, but in the effort to free her, the sprout got excessively tugged and jostled around which I think must have damaged the root and after that the sprout stayed a sprout for close to 4 weeks with only the first pair of single blade leaves and never grew any more leaves or got any bigger. So while it was unfortunately a no go, I am highlighting it here to show how seeds can appear to sprout just fine and yet be fatally strangled with the seed case membrane, if it is not removed the cotyledons can never open and the sprout will fail to develop.
Sprout breaks soil root first - this was the view that greeted me the first morning!
Sprout breaks soil a second time correctly
Something is not right, the shell case membrane remains wrapping the cotyledons
A valiant but ultimately failed attempt at surgery
At about 4 weeks old I terminated it as it was clearly not going to be viable
The lesson it has taught me, is to look very carefully once a seed has germinated and broken the soil, to check that the seed case and membrane are both free.

Damn dude! Nice operation!Welcome to my new grow journal. Just in case the possibility eventuates, I'll say it now, that this may end up as a perpetual journal.
Outdoor balcony growing while attempting to keep it stealthy:
The balcony is my grow location and it is one where space is limited and stealth is a priority to keep my grows under the radar of neighbours and from unwanted attention. To keep my plants below the sightlines of neighbours I have to limit the height of my plants to about 2.5 feet because anything higher would potentially be on view.
Medium:
I am growing in LOS (living organic soil). It is soil that I reuse and reamend between grows or reamend as required during the grows.
The soil recipe that I started with was based on what I could source locally to match or approximate Subcool's Super Soil recipe, I had added fresh worm castings to it that soon had worms living in the soil, even with the harsh hot wet/dry cycles of the pots some worms always still survived post-harvest. Since last year's grow, I have added some ingredients from Clackamas Coot/Jim Bennet's soil recipe, like crustacean meal and malted barley. As well as more worm castings from my home worm farm and some home compost mixed in. I bought a 3 layer worm farm unit a couple of years ago as it's easy to feed them chopped up banana skin, fruit/veg waste and in return you get great worm castings and worm wee that the plants seem to like in their watering.
Emilya recently made a post that alerted me to Geoflora dry organic nutrients which are not locally available but they are one of our sponsors, they also sound very interesting.I am also intrigued too, by the results that the folk who use Mega Crop are getting, but for the time being I'll be sticking with my LOS as it tends to get better with age and also it is fulfilling to observe and learn and make 'tweaks' and additions and monitor the plant's responses, if it can be 'dialed in' well, then it should produce as nature intended.
Pots:
Currently either 30L (8 gallon) or 50L (13 gallon) plastic pots. I have drilled holes in them to convert them into homemade air pots and lined them with landscape fabric. If I was starting again I would go for fabric pots, although there may be benefits from the sturdiness of plastic pots for easier securing of training wire.
I don't do it, but having the potted plants sitting in 2nd outer pots to shield them from the fierce heat of the sun would be a good thing.
Training:
I will be using a combination of quadlining/LST and supercropping as necessary to keep them stealthy and allow maintainance of them in the restricted space of the balcony to be more manageable. Because I have started these girls off later than I did last year there will be less time for them to veg before flowering, so it is likely less training will be needed.
Last Year's balcony grow:
Here are a couple of pics of last year's 3 plant balcony grow, the bigger one (a White Widow x Gorgonzola reg cross), a couple of overheads (also showing a White Widow reg and Gorilla Glue auto) and the final jarred curing harvest. The 2 photo regs were quadlined, the auto was LST'd. The yield of 23oz was really pleasing. By harvest, the buds took up most of the balcony even though I Quadlined and LST'd as well as supercropped them to keep their height no more than 2.5 feet so they would remain below the sight line of the neighbours. The combined buds produced quite a dank smell, which wafting out into the neighbourhood air gave me a wee bit of concern at times.One of the plants had a diameter close to 4.5 feet, and because I didn't prune off larf/weak growth it probably contributed to the plants growing wider canopies than they needed to.
For this current grow:
I intend to prune off all weak growth to focus on quality bud only (if possible) to help keep the plant's canopies smaller and more manageable, and hopefully any dank odours produced will stay within "recommended stealth limits". Last year I wondered if my neighbours were aware of it, or maybe they were but they had no idea that the smell was cannabis. But either way, it is hard to believe that they wouldn't have smelt it. I'm hoping as a balcony that a lot of that dank air will just go straight up skywards to dissipate, hoping..
Aim for this year:
Germination:
- To grow a high CBD strain, I have read great things on the benefits and 'experience' of high CBD bud and I'm intrigued, so I want to see for myself what a high CBD can offer.
- To grow 2 or 3 THC strains
- At least one sativa dominant strain and one Indica dominant strain
- an overall 'smaller' garden than last year for both manageability purposes and also to reduce the amount of dank smell that escapes into the neighbourhood which should, in turn, reduce my own stress about anyone with a knowledgeable nose picking it up.
- I have not cloned cannabis before, but as the first Godfather seed failed to germinate, I have used the topping of the second plant to see if it will root and if it does then I will grow it out and make full use!
- Similarly, the early sprouted auto has remained very small and will provide very little bud yield, which means if I like her then a small yield will last me no time at all. So I will try to reverse her, in an attempt to at least make use of her and get some selfed seeds if possible.
This year I started germinating seeds 4 - 6 weeks later than last year in order to keep the plants to a more manageable and sensible size. I realise now that this doesn't sit well with me as I regret it already, as by this time last year my plants were already a good size which I miss. Now, I would have preferred to have started earlier and prune harder later, to keep the strongest growth which would still allow development of a big root base to ideally power stronger buds. And although this grow I started germination later, some seeds failed to initially germinate which caused further delay because I then gave them more time to sprout which further delaying kicking off replacements when they didn't.
Strains germinated (from L to R):
- CBD Express auto- This is said to be up to 21% CBD and less than 1% THC.I found this strain germinates very strongly.It is from our 420 sponsor Weedseedsexpress who have been excellent to deal with, timely, really helpful, informative, they look after you, I will very happily use them again.
- Mango Sherbert- I have my fellow countryman @syenite to thank for allowing me to share this order with him. This is Indica dominant, said to be uplifting, energetic without couchlock, great all day smoke. Sounds fantastic.
- Godfather OG- from Weedseedsexpress. This looks a very interesting strain. High THC up to 30% and said to be good for strong night time medicine, OG Kush genetics, Indica dominant. I'm intrigued.
- Strawberry Cough- from Weedseedsexpress. This strain has some folk rating it very highly, as being quite special. It is not massively high in THC so it must give a good/special entourage effect, I am really curious about it, Sativa dominant.
CBD Express auto
I initially germinated one of these seeds mid-October. It grew a tap root very strongly and once underway has grown strongly. I have only previously grown 1 auto which was the Gorilla Glue auto last year, that gave me just under 4oz and was grown at the peak of summer. This seed I sprouted quite early in the season (early/mid Spring) which was suggested in the growing notes but I am guessing this is the reason it has only grown to 30cm and altho she has thickening up now, it is still only a trunk without any branches shooting off. I probably started her too early or more likely the balcony didn't provide sufficient sunlight to stimulate further growth.
I sprouted my 1 remaining CBD Express auto seed to try and time this seed for the peak summer weather and see how this one grows compared to the first (same location). I am hoping she grows bigger by being in a hotter sunnier more favourable weather window. It will be interesting to see. After a scuff and soak followed by wet paper towels she sprouted and like her sister grew a long strong tap root very quickly, an erupting root tip overnight then about an inch long a day later.
From my limited experience of autos I am very impressed so far with how strongly they take off. The other observation of these CBD Express seeds is that they are very big seeds. The tap roots they have produced on germination have been long and strong.
And the CBD Express that sprouted just this week
Mango Sherbert
This plant started rather slowly but now seems to have picked up the pace a little. So far she's a bit of a leggy girl.
Godfather OG
The first seed I tried didn't germinate. I topped this plant above the 4th node. Previously, I have usually 'micro topped' where I only wait for the growth shoot to grow a couple of centimetres and then a 'wiggle waggle' back and forth and voila the shoot comes away and she's topped. However, this time I decided to wait for her to grow further so I couldattempt to grow out the topping as a clone. I have kept her stalk in a glass of water with some sugar and a humidity dome over her. It is not going to happen immediately so I will just change the water every few days and hope it is successful. After 2 weeks it is probably still too early to expect roots but we'll see in the next couple of weeks, So far, her leaves still appear in good condition.
I intended to Quadline this plant but because her 2nd node only grew one side I decided to leave this node on and nodes 3 and 4 too, so she will be a 5line/quinline. Unfortunately, when I was focusing on securing the end of one of the training wires, I accidentally applied unintended pressure elsewhere which snapped one of her 'arms', it was at least 80% if not 90% snapped thru but I managed to patch her up with some electrical tape and it looks like she will recover, thankfully. It's a reminder to keep one's wits about you as mishaps are always possible, it doesn't help that my once sharp eyesight is these days a blur of what it recently was.
Strawberry Cough
Like the Mango Sherbert I am waiting for her to start to motor. She is still in a bit of a slow phase and a bit light. Interestingly, she has the same number of nodes as the Mango Sherbert but instead of being leggy she is very low with very tight internodal distances.
Screwups:
I have only just started this grow and I already have made a long list of screwups, it's unbelievable.
Anyway, it will be a bit slow until growth picks up. I'm always happy for any suggestions as I appreciate all the experience here, and it is great to see and read what folks are doing.
- Mistakenly, I planted in concentric planted pots thinking I could make it easy for myself with up potting. Where I could take out the plant out of the pot and place it's root mass into the hole left by it's own previous pot and so on. The trouble is, that when buried in the soil of a bigger pot it didn't make a meaningful root ball for uppotting, instead it grew a long deep tap root thru it's own pot and into the next which meant the Godfather got ripped when uppotting. God knows what I had been thinking/smoking when I did that.
- I failed to see the shell case membrane throttling a newly emerged seed for 2 days and when I did notice it and freed it, it seemed too late because altho it's cotyledons opened it didn't grow any leaves or grow any bigger.
- Another seed, a Mexican Sativa, first emerged from the soil with it's root and after replanting it emerged also throttled by it's own membrane and in my attempts to free it I caused the sprout presumably fatal movement where it then remained stunted from that point. It was the only one of 5 that germinated the chances are it would have grown fine had that not happened. My thanks and apologies to Emeraldo for failure to notice this in time.
- In uppotting the Strawberry Cough, from my previously mentioned stupid concentric pot idea, as soon as I realised it was a bad idea I just wanted it out, but because the roots were insufficiently developed, it all fragmented and the whole plant got momentarily buried in soil during the move, thankfully without harm.
- I mentioned above already where I snapped one of the Godfather's arms, thankfully it looks like it's healing fine. These plants can take a lot of punishment and still shine (if you're lucky), but still, all the same, fucking sausage fingers.

Well, I fell quite far behind, so I have lots to congratulate you for!!
Fantastic harvests Stunger, that looks like it will last you a few years combined with last years harvest too! Congratulations on JOTM and POTM! Beautiful job my friend! And lastly, great work on the cobs, you have got me fully interested in cobbing and it sounds like you have done very well with it on your first go.
Early tests are sounding good and I’m looking forward to hearing more, once it’s completely ready.

Cob update
The Mango Sherbert and Godfather OG both seemed to have worked well being cobbed. The Strawberry Cough unfortunately seems to have little 'punch', even it's cured buds only seem to give the barest of highs and yet I let it run to the full flowering period recommended by the breeder. The other 2 plants were probably allowed to flower for 3 weeks longer than the breeder suggested period, and when it came to giving them the chop at first I wasn't going to chop the Strawberry Cough but as it had completed the full breeder suggested flowering and the Autumn weather was changing I decided to make it easy for myself and chop the lot at the same time. The other 2 plants I let run longer because I have preferred to see some amber trichomes before chopping, I didn't see any on the Strawberry Cough which didn't start flowering until 2 weeks later than the other 2, and now in hindsight I wish I let it run for longer, as now I don't know whether the flowering period was wrong or whether the genetics were not so strong. So I'll try it further in time but at the moment I am feeling the my Strawberry Cough buds and cobs are a waste for a decent high.
They say Cobs should be aged for at least 3 months, the longer the better. After finishing the fermentation period I let them dry and then re-vac sealed them for 'ageing'. I cut some samples from them first for some early testing.
When I open the jar containing the samples, there is a funky, terpy, sweet smell, it is a bit hard to describe but it has me enjoying the sniffing.
Consuming
I tried consuming some once by cutting off a bit from the Godfather OG and chewing it, I wouldn't give the taste of chewing it a michelin star but it was interesting that I got a good effect off it considering the cobs were made out of raw buds, without any active decarbing.
Vaping
For vaping I have tried to cut it very fine but as it is kind of sticky in a sort of hash like way, it is quite tricky to cut it fine as it easily clumps together. But having said that, I tried it in my dynavap and it seems to vaporise quite adequately, the chopped up cobbed bud is probably more concentrated than the normal dried cured ground bud that I use to vape.
I gave some to a grow buddy and after the first toke he said, wow it is so smooth, that was interesting as I forgot to mention that to him beforehand. That was something I had read about by folk in Africa who said cobbed weed didn't hurt their chest like dried weed did when they smoked it.
Altho this testing is just from early samples, the effect when compared to the cured ground bud seems more 'refined', a bit clearer, less scattered and more concentrated. From the differences felt after vaping the cured bud, the cobbed bud seems a bit stronger. My buddy thought so too, but it may just be the effect of something new or the way it seems to refine the effect.
Storage
Anyway, cobs seem a handy way to store buds for potentially years, where they can take up a lot less space than jarred bud and can fairly easier be hiden away for storage.
Here's some pictures to show off the interesting texture and appearance of the cobbed bud.

Thanks for all the great cobbing info Stunger. 
He's going to be harvesting later this year because of that, and because of that, so am I.
@BeezLuiz grows outside and had his bud tested last summer, and he discovered that the THC levels were well below what the breeders had suggested. One of them as low as 5% that was rated as 20%.

That's interesting, it shows that without lab testing, just how much we are winging it. I generally let my plants continue flowering until I see something like 5% - 20% amber. That approach has always worked for me to produce reasonably 'punchy' buds when vaped. Of course I now regret not saying to hell with the weather and allowing the Strawberry Cough longer to flower, but we live and learn eh. The only lab test that I saw posted on cobbed bud showed that the THCa had been mostly decarbed to THC so interesting to hear of Luiz's testing. It is certainly more of an art than a science eh!Thanks for all the great cobbing info Stunger.

Yes to living and learning. The breeder grows out a thousand plants and concludes the "strain" needs x weeks of flowering. But each plant, each environment, etc. can be different. Even in my "best grow ever" last year, in the hot California climate, I kept waiting on the White Widow that ideally would be earlier than many of the others, and the Acapulco Gold was a month earlier than the rest. In the end, it's the trichs that tell you, no matter what guideline the breeder gives.
Congrats on you cobbing experience. That sounds (and looks) wonderful. I am considering trying that, sounds like a good way to preserve the stash.
Greetings to Mrs. Hansen
Emeraldo
Thanks for posting about your cobs Stunger! I wonder about your strawberry cough. Have you tested it as a first of the day puff? A strawberry cough of mine has an interesting sativa kind of high different than most. Maybe your perception is being drawn from her by the other heavy hitters? Just a thought. Mine hits a little different than most. One of my friends doesn't like it at all. She's a quizzer! I really like her, she's just not a 50 ton press.
The guys at greenhouse seeds have videos of their grows and include a timeline of many things pertaining to the plant. One of them is thc value over time. It does ramp up late in flower. They have interesting vids.

Cheers Emeraldo, I had previously always ignored the breeder suggested flowering times, and gone by the trichomes. On this last grow altho I didn't see the late flowering trichomes signs I'd normally wait for, and I ignored that and chose to do an early chop because the they'd gone the breeder's suggested distance. Something to learn from!
Thank's Otter, I haven't given up on the Strawberry Cough yet, I will test it out more, and I will also go searching amongst the jarred SC buds to see if there is any that looks more advanced to test out. Funnily enough, the one early test I did on some popcorn bud seemed very promising, I got quite a lovely high off one early small bud that I accidentally broke off, but so far the Strawberry Cough cob and cured buds that were flowered at least 3 weeks longer haven't really given much. Your suggestion to try it as a first of the day puff, I have done that, but so far I have only got the barest of effects. I will test it further but currently I feel I let myself down by not waiting for the usual trichome appearance that I would normally wait for before chopping, I won't do that again!
Hi Stunger! I finally got caught up on your journal - well documented and photos are top-notched. Very deserving of "Journal of the Month" title.
If the Strawberry Cough buds continue to disappoint, I recommend you try the "dry ice" method of removing the trichomes from the plant material. That's what I did with my Killer Haze (that plant only tested at 5%). Smoking the kief gave me the punch that it was lacking from smoking the buds only.
I look forward to joining in on your next grow from the beginning.
Similar thing for my Killer Haze plant last season. I harvested it too early even though I went past the breeder's recommended. To be honest, I've never followed the breeder guidelines - pretty sure they are always based on indoor grows. Outdoor growing is definitely a different beast.

Great documentation of your cobbing process. I tried cobbing last season for the first time. I only made one cob and it was from the Killer Haze plant. All in all, I was pleased with the results. I didn't send it out to be lab tested so I don't know how it compares to the cured bud. I think I might try cobbing again this season, and maybe I'll get a sample tested.
I look forward to joining in on your next grow from the beginning.

I haven't gone back to re-evaluate the Strawberry Cough yet, but I will before too long (I am still spoilt for alternative choices!). The dry ice approach does make sense to consolidate the potency.
The next time I cob I may reduce the drying time by 1 day so the buds are a tiny bit more moister going into the ferment stage.Great documentation of your cobbing process.

Cheers Otter, yep there's definitely some lessons to be learned there! It is the only way to progress, to look honestly and ask oneself how could I have done that better. I think the Strawberry Cough is the only plant that I harvested to the breeder guidelines, whereas all others I have always waited until I saw some amber trichomes which has generally been 2 - 4 weeks later. Anyway, that lesson has been noted and in future I'll go back to waiting to see some amber first!

Jeez, Grow Journal of the month, Member of the month, big deal! It's only for a friggin month. I had the Grow of the Year last year and got nothin for it because it was of the Year and doesn't fit into those little categories. M.o.M.! Sheesh. But congratulations anyway, it's a form of recognition for your successful grows. Enjoy!

It's the middle of Winter here, 2C overnight today, that's cool where I am, and it's bound to be a lot chillier further south.
I have a grinder on order which has a waiting list of 7 weeks turn around, and that is about up, so I am looking forward to getting confirmation any day that it is on it's way. The promise of some new gear in the cold dark of Winter is something to look forward to.
I caught up with my brother to watch the England/Italy football game on Monday and he'd had a sample of some indoor buds for me that a friend of his had grown. I got a small bag of some nice berry smelling buds labelled #3, it had no name because the grower had messed up his labelling and just gave it a number. However, it was a very nice Sativa dominant with a very good punch to it. It was quite unexpected but it was very welcome to be able to sample some new buds with a nice effect in the dark of Winter, I just wish I knew the strain name!
To all you's out there who've already got your gardens underway, I look forward to joining you come Spring, but in the meantime I'm enjoying seeing the nice plants you're posting in your own gardens, all the best everyone!
