Seeing @York Genetics male plants in full bloom.. fascinating! Maybe I will try my hand at the cannabis dating an make a strain some day.. not yet tho. I've been taking into consideration the many strains that are available and what would I cross? I already know--however I gotta get my growers wings first.
Then again , I'm also thinking that lady's are just naturally attracted to a males pollen.
Ok i survived the infusion. Had a really nice nurse that made the event bearable. The side effects were not so bad at first just a bit of nausea and anxiety. I figured once I got home I could smoke some nice indica I got (thanks son) it helped with nausea rite off, but the anxiety only goes away if I smoke an sleep. Hope the cannabis can catch up with this anxiety. Thanks for all the love, you guys rock?
Waiting for my 32 oz water bottles to get here from Amazon, I've got some gnats to murder. (Maniacal laugh)
For the root drench I got 203 and for the foliar spray I got 209 from @Sierra Natural Science. Heard a lot of groovy things about their pest systems. I don't feel the gnats are a bad bug, I'm sure to a degree their babies eating dead roots could be beneficial to the plant.. and then again, when they eat the dead stuff up.. are they now going for the living roots? Yeah.. gotta die.
No hard feelings gnats, If it's not you, then it'll be my plant. An we can't have that now can we..?.. sorry little buggy, you entered my Court.
There is no safe word.
Welp, I get my first imuno-surpressant infusion today. not sure what to expect. doc said it takes 6hrs to pump it into me then they have to monitor me for 3hrs Incase I have any "adverse" reactions. fingers crossed
So far so good. The plants are still stretching even this late in flower, but they’re now starting to put on more weight each day. Very thirsty and hungry mamas to say the least.
Hubby told me when it gets warmer outside, I can turn the attic into my grow room if I want... I don't think he realizes what he's saying just yet.. hahahah
"You can tell the people who enjoy growing stuff VS the people who don't, all in a simple conversation."
I think it's crazy how y'all germinate seeds on paper towels, and then place them in the substrate with ease.
I feel like I would break its neck trying to do that. I did try it last spring with seeds for the garden, peas, beans and sorts. They died.
This year is gonna be a great one!!!!
Can't you smell it in the air?
I really want to shout out to @Delps8 for his very informative post on measuring LUX and his PAR conversion charts. I learned the conversion factor for my Viparspectra XS 2500 Pro is 0.0145! I now have a fairly accurate way to measure the light falling on my plants!!
Day 17 for the Gorilla Cookies and Purple Banana Punch autos from Fastbuds.
It is finally the weekend and I have some time to review the week in the tent and tell you about it.
Things that happened to my grow this week:
-At day 8-10 the seedlings definitely had some transplant shock, I got lots of advice from friends here, thanks! They had some leaf curl and yellowing as you can see form last weeks post.
-The issues I focused on were 1)light intensity, 2) moisture level, 3) Ph of the water.
-The seedlings are now adjusted and looking happy in their 5 Gal pots with Build A Soil Light formula.
-I used resources from this website to research how to use my LUX meter and convert it to PAR and now have the seedlings in early veg under 400 PAR.
-Many of the friends here were concerned about my water Ph which is about 7-7.5 out of my tap.
-Im working on getting the water to ~6-6.5 range but damn every time I get close I seem to overshoot the dosage of PHdown or Up and im getting impatient! I still dont have Ideal Ph so Ill probably research more about best way to adjust.
-My plan for the next week is to gradually increase to 500 par
-I plan to LST at end of week when the plant has 4-5 good nodes. Ill use the bend the stalk over and pin it down method with some leaf tucking to expose the new branches.
Thanks to everyone who interacted on my questions and offered advice. This is really helping me work out my system!
I must be reading too many journals and stuff cuz I had the weirdest dream last night. I was in a lab or something, and there were all these random scientists all talking amongst each other about pH and ppm and other terminology I don't understand.
