Howdy.
Been growing for 6 years now, all outdoor in the PNW. This is my first grow journal.
I want to do better at keeping track of my grows and maybe improve on my growing strategy of “winging it”. I like the part about breaking rules like an artist, not so much the learning the rules like a pro part… haha.
I also want to document varieties that other people might be interested in. I’ve gotten a lot of value in reading grow journals / smoke reports and want to do the same.
I’ve used bottled nutrients in the past (Nectar of the Gods line), but I’m drifting towards full organic. Lot easier outdoors… It jives with me personally but to each their own. I’ve been dabbling with KNF and like to source my own compost/fertilizer/inputs.
I like to hunt/forage/grow my own food, so it just makes sense to me. This quote sums up what I’m striving for:
“An ideal farm would be one which could produce everything it needs from within itself, such that there would be no need to bring in any outside materials, except perhaps in the case of a sickness affecting the entire farm."
I started most of my seeds in April.
We had some major work done on our house and I’ve been living with some older family members. Was planning on being back home in May, but as construction projects go… we’ll be back home soon.
I’ve had to keep everything in small pots. The people I’m living with are open minded but wouldn’t be comfortable with this number of plants if they were bigger and spread out all over their garden. Blessing in disguise because I can’t help but planting too many seeds haha, whether it’s peppers or cucumbers or cannabis.
I was waiting until I got everything in the ground before starting a journal but I know I’ll be busy moving and getting the garden in order, so without further ado here’s the lineup:
(2) Bodhi - Dream Beaver (Bought these from a dude on discord. Only got 2/12 viable seeds, but I would’ve been stoked for one. Fingers crossed for a male & female!)
(2) Bodhi - Dream Axis [Axis x SSDD] (also hoping for a male & female because I’ll likely be trading the rest of the pack)
(3) AK Bean Brains - Vintage Blueberry
(1) CSI Humboldt - Sour Bubba [Sour Diesel x Bubba Kush]
OG
(3) Kush 4 x SSDD from @Kyumonryu
(4) Jack the Ripper from @ix3u
(4) BC Big Bud x Kryptonite from @THCeed via @sprinklememaynee
Dynasty
(3) Pineapple Pastures
(2) Blue Magoo bx3
(3) Lezbluerado
(2) Orange Cherries [Agent Orange x Ms. Universe]
(2) Platinum Socks [Platinum GSC x Sock Drawer Afghani]
My own crosses
(3) Obama Kush (Archive) x Blue Magoo bx3
(2) Blue Magoo bx3 f2
(6) [Oregon Skunk x African Power Plant] x Blue Magoo bx3 (the OS x APP line is from the first 2 plants I grew in 2018. The lineage is chock full of hermie parents but this is a personal project. I plan to grow & outcross / continue this line every year)
(3) Pot Farm (my aunt got some potting soil from a commercial outdoor farm and gave me 3 seedlings that sprouted from it)
I also popped a few seeds the other day, a lot later than I wanted, to (hopefully) finish in the greenhouse later this year:
RSC Nanda Devi
RSC Malawi
Ukufu from @LoveofLandrace
And a couple clones I bought after deciding not to bring any clones in this year (not pictured):
Lemon Tree from Archive
Chem ‘91
Final tally: uh… 4 plants haha
Won’t post a ton until we get later into the season, but wanted to get this thing started.
Peace & love
