Grow room diary,take #2

Yes ! Thank you ! I will make it as " this too shall pass" ! It’s far more difficult and adds that extra layer of frustration ! To watch/live with the wife go without ,I feel terrible,very grateful for the cuttings that I brought in this fall ! To get us through,haha the first three weeks here, being the worst, until the rest can cure ! I’ve got a Black Dak/Cherry Queen, (from Lefty !so grateful !) (or two),hehe, almost done too ! Plus the original mother that made me decide to bring them in which happened to be the amazing and absolutely to die for ! Sunshine Daydream ! And her beautiful progeny (sour Apple (?)!still trying to place,)and the sour is like definitely fruit flavors on citric acid ! With enough volume to easily classify with/as a jolly rancher profile! (For once I pray she doesn’t change during the cure)(Sorry I do struggle with putting words in a cohesive manner,I’m sure it shows)
Appreciate you being here brother !
Mad Respect
Wish you the best and pray that you are safe and well !

Distraction ;


An experiment I am playing with,a work in progress,the Cherry tomato and bean are from organic sources
Bottom two thirds are from my garden out side withe some sungro mix #1 as buffer (just found out that it’s processed within an hour from our home,and I found myself shaking my head thinking it 34.50 into the packaging and about.49cents worth of material) but until I can get my head around wild crafting everything ,I’m kinda stuck,and it does the job, however I just heard thru a potcast,(think buildasoil) that getting actual peat moss has so many benefits,it unbelievable ! Sorry I find it difficult holding on to the smaller details,I do listen over and over some up ten twenty times,just to get it to sink,I find that I must employ methods as soon as possible or I will simply forget anything about,haha, another work in progress, peace
Apologies ,that is a attempt on a reveg of a Sour Bubble from Pedro ! Thank you so much for resin encrusted tops ! Haha absolutely beautiful, trying to curb my pentient for so many cuttings and more room to pop seeds for selection,

Other things to educate myself on ! Id love to get self sufficient, enough for everyone !
I’m looking for things to grow that I can use for ferments,in fact I’ve been trying to ferment everything I possibly can,and possibly a few things that I shouldn’t,hehe(swear that’s a CO2 generater !) I doubt that the room is sealed enough for it to have any effect,but it’s an attempt some hands on experience,I’ve heard that some can double their yield,sealed room,or vented at the proper time
Seeds that I’d like to source, alfalfa,parlane (?), Most importantly,and especially for my liver ! And silica ! I would love to find some stinging nettle, I couldn’t find any within reach this summer,I noticed that the clover that had brought in from outside is bouncing back ,hope to take that to seed if at all possible ! Others that I’ve heard about and would eventually like to sight them in , are things like comfrey and some aquatic plants that fish can snack on,oh yes,I’ve been feeding my fish fresh fruit as well as shrimp

Took down my Maui Sunshine and the Sunshine Daydream that I have ,man they are absolutely intensely delicious smelling ! grapefruit explosion ! (Maui Sunshine)double sours !
Terrible yields,but I’m on to something here (IMHO)and was only trying for some thing in the form of usable meds !
I’m so grateful !
I also pulled down a herijuana and two Black Dak Cherry Queen s ! Yeah baby ! Each of these are phenomenal smelling as well ,mad Respect all , especially those who made it possible for such a beautiful selection (s) !
Peace !
Will try to get some post worthy pics !

And thank you to @nube for the beans that did already get here! You musta mailed some time ago ! I can’t believe I actually have some Triangle in the house !
Oops they may have exploded ! Hehe ! Well 4/4 for sure ! I couldn’t resist ! I’m hoping for a couple Sakuras to come up as well ! Mad Respect !
Peace ! Hope everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the holidays this year ! Peace and Love to all !
I can’t stand the lack of quality in my photos,I’m waiting for a new camera or phone before I take any more
Edit, Sakuras are a go !

Glad they mader! You never know about mail during the holiday season. I had a bunch of issues starting with some seeds mailed out just before the election, and the delays/misrouting/disappearances continued through the end of Nov so I shut down all my sharing activities until the new year. Happy to hear yours arrived viable and ready to grow! Happy harvests! :smiley:

Those F2 seeds of bodhi’s TK x Iraqi are super vigorous and stretchy plants, so plan well before you flip them. Topping and training is required, and you’ll want to watch for nanners when they go into flower, but if you find a keeper and clone her, she should behave on subsequent runs from clone as long as you treat her nice. :slight_smile:

So grateful ! You are amazing! I love the grow reports ! The details and the reasoning behind them !I really can not express all of my gratitude ! Mail has not been kind,I’ve lost no less than three expected packages ,and that is just during this holiday season !( And exactly why I didn’t take and post a picture of the package,I believe the cleanliness and simple (quiet) packaging is how they slipped through!) Mad Respect ! And forever grateful ! Hope you are able to stay safe and well ! Peace !

Just wanted to post about this Dragons Blood HP x Black Berry Breath on the left ,and on the right is a cutting of that hit by Dank Sinatra f2 male ! have the original seedling in the flower room, just about halfway,short squat and dank AF. Plan on sorcing a f3 DS male ! That f2 DS3 mother is absolutely phenomenal,I’ve got a couple with a little bit of veg time in the flower room looking outstanding ! I do plan on another seed run attempt very soon ! Peace !
PS, very interested in a backcross f3 DS male into the DS3 (f2) mother,I’m going to do it, with the expectation that there could be some inbred lag ,and then an outcrosses should be stacked !
Just a thought, peace
I did also receive extra Dank Sinatra f2s (also from brother @nube) for a wider selection,when I’m ready ! I need to sift through the TK x Iraqi beans !
Cheers

Aloha brother! Very happy to hear that you are settling in ! I’ve been down for a while now , can’t seem to source a LED light,so I thought I would focus on my short seasoned outdoor adventure! Had a frost that whiped most things out about a week ago,very much on schedule, so I chalked that up to building organic matter in the garden plots ! I guess I am a little lost on what I can do, I haven’t been able to acquire any sort of med grow license yet (I’m so incompetent when it comes to filling out forms) ,and haven’t found an LED that I can afford , basically same old story, nothing to report,( depression sucks !) ,But it warms my heart to hear from you, once I get things sorted,I will be back !
Peace and love all !
Cheers

HEEEEEYYYYY! :joy:

Maybe other :canada: OGer’s can help direct you on that-- maybe post in the Canucks-Only thread & see if it helps with the MMJ paperwork?

How big of an area are you trying to illuminate?

Don’t blame :snowflake: frost on organics! :man_facepalming: Silly! Blame that on weather! :crazy_face:

I’ll talk :telephone_receiver: to Santa’s Elves & see what they can do. :gear: :bulb: :zap: :christmas_tree:

Haha ! Yes the weather for real ! I guess what I was trying to say was that, everything that was frozen and immature,is getting chopped and dropped on the spot ! To build organic matter in the soil plots,
As far as square footage of illumination goes,I haven’t build anything out yet and will probably shoot for a 10x10to a 10 x 8 foot area for flower ,as I have been thoroughly dependant on CBD and still love my THC although have been mighty dry lately, trying to keep my chin up tho !
Spending any extra time studying notill and soil regeneration ,as far as I know completely organic and strive for pro fungal ! With knf and jadam ferments ,imo and lactobacillus inputs as well
But my biggest joy comes from the recent acquisition of red mofo’in wigglers baby !
Haha down but not out brother! Man I wish I could get my dirty hands on some volcanic amendments ! Mad Respect ! A much love !
Peace from the frozen North !
PS,had a nice crop of common barley this year

Just wanted to let anyone and everyone know that I’m still hoping to get back up and running,I. Dieing to get growing again,I’ve managed to bring in an original SSDD she’s super funky( Chem like) with an awesome complex smell and taste,I don’t think I’ve ever finished her properly and with out some seeds (I’ve never had a male ) so it’s all been out crosses , and am still pretty desperate for a light ,have a hard time rounding up the resources ,but getting optimistic ,I have the parts to put one together,I just kinda struggle to get my head around it,but I’m not complaining I just need to get after it , and as soon as possible I will be hoping to start running and reproducing some of the gear I’ve been holding,they will be going back to the community for sure ! Hope everyone is well and hanging in ! Mad Respect all ,hope to be back soon !
Peace

Thought I would try to get back into the swing of things



In anticipation of sourcing a light , leaning towards a CMH as it should be fine for all stages of the life cycle ,got to put it out there that this is going to happen
The top pic is the media of choice,the bag is roughly 85-90% perlite and the rest straight sphagnum moss ,I did put a couple tablespoons of some home made LABS and hand mixed ,and the tote has roughly 25 % sphagnum moss,25 %worm castings (home made ,I’ve put together about 5-6 large garbage cans for worm bins ) , 50% perlite,a couple cups of dolomite lime and some diatomaceous earth (fine dust) again a couple tablespoons /quarter cup of LABS
The bottom is a shot of my small fish set up,used to water the babies ! Hehe
Peace
Oh yeah,the high perlite mix is for seed starter mix and cloning and the other is for the next uppot,for vegetative stage , Cheers
