We. Are. Back! Hello my fellow growers and friends. It's good to be back๐. As mentioned in the Malanasa Journal, Quick Sherbet and 3 other 4 week old girls were being propagated for a separate project, but this has been postponed and these little ones will stay with me๐. My buddy will get his girls, but he's going to have to be patient for a bit! Will update Germination and Weeks 1 and 2 on all girls in the coming days, but will start on Week 3 of Veg, days 15-22. Here's the Deets!:
The Good:
-Very strong and happy girl, man. She's a prayer and tracks her light all day. Takes it all in and doesn't have any issues the intensity, heat or humidity I've been running.
-Previous limited root system is traveling nice and fast, with the stem starting to shore up and show some real strength๐ช. Laterals on her under canopy are starting to pump out as well and it's just about time to grab them, train them and start creating a nice big bubble.
**Another, another! Special Note** After posting about the incident and the falling out with that couple I was growing with (for...) I received a message from @Polaskis (Exotic Seeds) expressing empathy for the loss of my previous girls. Exotic Seeds then generously offered me a test pack and free genetics for the trouble... Should go without saying, but I'm extremely grateful for this and the community right now. Whenever I fall, whether it was my fault or not, I am continually picked up and brushed off by fantastic people. It means a lot and a serious and genuine shoutout to @Exotic_Seed for their generosity๐
The 'Meh':
-Some health issues early on were causing her to grow multiple sets of 3 bladers. At first I thought maybe genetic, but after a transplant to new soil, she moved to 5's and now onto 7's. Things weren't perfect there early on, but it's all coming up Millhouse now๐.
Notes of the Week:
-Right off the bat, good to be back... Nice to have girls in the tent and seeing green everyday. I'll get a new set to my friend in time, fulfilling the agreement, but for now, it's just nice to have them around.
-Tent is full automated now, with Inkbird Wi-Fi line and Data Loggers in operation. Really nice not to have to touch anything! Ya, it costs money up front, but it's paying itself off in time I don't have to spend time manually opening and closing flaps, messing with everything, just to try and get some decent numbers, haha. Have cut the intake/outtake and supplementary heater power by 66% aswell, since it's been commissioned๐. No complaints.
-It wasn't on purpose, but I somehow fell into organics and it looks like I'll be 100% organics in the coming months. After some early problems, I turned to organic brands and super soils with great success and not sure if I even want to go back now... There is also a starter package of dry amendment, all organic nutrients I landed from a supplier/sponsor from EU that I'm greatly looking forward to using. After a few revelations, it just feels simpler this way. The end game was always to go organic, I just didn't expect to get into it so soon. Neat!๐
-Medicinal license is finally being processed. Got off my butt and did something I should have done the first day of legalization. I really hope to have upwards of three separate projects and units running in the next few months. It's in but who knows when it'll come back... Their window says 3 weeks to 4 months, lol! Thanks guys!๐
-Equipment listings and such will be listed in Week 1 or germination when I get to updating them๐
**Super Special Note** Where's EVA 3? Good question. She's currently hanging in an empty unit, unplugged, and the equivalency project has been postponed indefinitely. I will update any further changes when/if they arrive. Throw me a PM for further enquiries๐
Thank you one and all for kicking around and checking out the new little ones. Look forward to being a little more active on GD again and catching up with all you fine folks๐. Much love and I hope you have/had a great day/week! Cheers and happy trails๐โ Keep Cannabis Culture Alive!
you are always welcome... and its necessary to show mistakes,, and in besat cast the solutioms... growing is like life... sunny days and some days with blizzard and troubles
But thats the way we learn....
and there is enough to learn loool
@JinksyGrows,yes you can..........hydrofarm is $168 and its good enough.........considering that you just bought osram leds..........your electric bill will return your investment
@grzesiekkuzniak, LOL! Yep! I would love one but can't afford one. Hoping in the near future, as I keep testing systems, I can get my hands on an actual PAR meter and stop screwing around with ballpark conversions๐ . For now I'm hoping to find someone local that I could just borrow one from here and there, lol. Soon!
Watering is really the hardest Part to do it right ....... for me it is like that........
Your Girls really love your Handling, thats easy to see
Kep it up... be a proud canadian and always pop some Seeds
@Mrs_Larimar, Besides seedlings I feel I'm getting better at watering! Now just gotta stop stunting the babies, hahaha. Happy to be Canadian and will keep poppin' and spreading the good word๐.
@Mrs_Larimar, She's NUTS! She will be moved to her own unit now๐. No matter how many bends I put in and light I put on her, she's just growing out of control!! It's awesome to see and I can also see I will have to up my EC to provide... I'm legit excited๐
@TheUk420Show, Thanks man ๐ช. Really happy to have this beast. And thankfully no, this isn't the lamp from the contest. Happy to say that system is loooong gone now, hahaha๐ ๐.
Cheers and Merry Christmas ๐๐
@JinksyGrows, I'm doing supercrop on my plants when they stretch like this and they always stretch like this. but supercropped branches keep elevating :))
@HighRoller909, Holy crap man, too real with this one girl๐ฌ. She's under her own special lamp now in a tent by herself ๐ ๐ . Gotta do what we gotta do. That or super crop. Hahaha.
@Polaskis, Put em' up! Both the Exotics love their lights man. Persistent prayers. Only now have they stopped a bit due to bud mass pushing them down, but that doesn't stop them from trying๐๐
@SuggaShane, No doubt man๐ . Got nothing against the SF series, I really do love them, but this here is some crazy ass tech and is mostly sold/used in commercial LP's๐. Really gotta watch her intensity, especially with UVA. This lamp is actually for a 5x5 too, so there's definitely wasted potential. Probably could have done with the FM6, 480W, but this one allows me to expand without buying more systems๐. I talk to much today... Thanks man! Cheers, lol!
@Mrs_Larimar, Hahaha, you're totally right. Maybe take out the Mehs for a bit too. Nothing bad going on at all๐. I'll take the compliment !!๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ. You know me too well, I think, hahaha.
@SommerVirelli, Thanks man! Literally came in yesterday and I'm running the initial tests before hanging. Holy crap balls it's blinding๐ ๐ ๐ . Can't wait to grow bigger now man. This lamp will be in a 4x4 but does fully cover 5x5 for veg and bloom๐ . I have a dimmer, no worries, hahaha.
