Indoor Growing Growroom Diaries

When you read this I hope it finds you in good spirits! Peace and Blessings.

A bit about myself… Mikey Dread, Half Spanish / Jamaican, I’m a Stone Growers Society Member, my crews grow club in Canada. I’m off the wall, a bit eccentric, I embrace the wild and wonderful in life, I’m a graphic designer, yes that’s me in my profile pic.

I serve the plant, have risked my life and safety for it, loved it and breed it. She is the love of my life after my lady and kids.

I started growing over 30yrs ago, The first strains I even grew were from a headshop in London Ontario, My mentor, got turned down at the counter when he asked for some seeds, mind you he did look like a cop, moustache and all but being a smart dude, asked me to go and see if they would sell it to me, who wont sell seeds to the dread? I remember going to car with the tubes of seeds, each had a label inside, I only can recall 4 strains NL, ATF, Kush, Skunk, we grew them all out and had our own cannabis cup.

Fast forward to the present day, “Organic Rasta Man Growing” is what I do, all natural, nothing but the god stuff. Also don’t take me too serious, my journal will be filled with the madness that is me.

I hope you enjoy this journal. Now where did I put them pics? hmmm…

Much respect to all, happy to have you here

Peace and Blessings.

I was gifted these great crosses by @SativaKid and asked to give them a run.

Mail Order Bride is Landrace Thai x Caramel Cream

Cooky Cream is GSC x Caramel Cream

I run a 2x4 tent for flower plus a 2x2 for veg and a small area for seedlings, I run perpetual, I try to keep 8 total, 4 in flower 4 in veg, rinse and repeat. I do have a medical licence for 25 plants.

I refer to my plants as “she” and “her”.

The seeds are fem, I grow a lot of regulars so I’m usually hoping that she’s a lady Tom Jones 1971, so its refreshing to pop some fem’s for a change. I threw them on the rotation, popped 2 of each picked the ones “I likes” no problem with germination, did the 24hr soak in water and into paper. Taproots in a couple days.

Stage ! - In nanoseconds we arrive, Israel Adesanya, The Last Soilbender, my mix. Primal Earth is the soil base, I added shrimp and peat moss compost, then earth worm castings. I top dress my plants with a old recipe that was handed down by my friends dad, who grows in the mountains where they have RKS from 1985…lol I use Gaia Green powdered amendments that I buy from the grow shop.

The Landrace Thai (LT moving forward) picked up speed pretty fast from seed and was super healthy. She wasn’t needy and I really didn’t do much at this early stage, just water and watch. She started to develop a nice structure and I wanted to get her out of the cup, I could feel she was starting to get hungry and a bit cramped.

Cooky Cream, (CC moving forward) 1st round of seeds I received took a beating by the post, seed dust with a few shattered shells. No fault of the sender just bad karma. But the 2nd round of blessings came through no problem.

CC started a bit slow as I think I was a bit heavy handed on the water, but she showed no change in color wasn’t affected for the most part, dried out and really started to pick up speed. I felt I let the LT go in the solo cup for a bit too long so I decided to transplant her out of the cup at the same time. I can see that the CC structure is real tight at the moment, will be interesting to see how she progresses.
