Hello to You- Old Friend or New! Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my second journal.
Pull up a chair and get comfy as we're just getting started. There will be a lot of LST, Topping, and Supercropping this time as I have a 7 ft tall tent and some pretty tall strains selected. Oh and all seeds are feminized so hopefully there won't be any surprises.
Heres a few details before we get started:
Strains are
- Thc Bomb- a mostly indica (that i grew last time too) that gets about 2 1/2 ft tall x4
- Mazar/White Rhino- mostly indica that gets about 4 ft tall x1
-Royal Cheese- again mostly indica that gets about 5 feet tall x1
-Sour Diesel- mostly sativa and she will be about 6 ft tall x2
- Blue Moonshine was planned too but they never sprouted- (so I planted a couple more THC Bombs)
Environment is
- A 4x4 tent with 6" 400 cfm exhaust fan
-Soil is Light Warrior for seedlings and then transplanted into FFOF.
- Light is a 400 MH for veg and a 600 HPS for flower
-An oscillating fan for a gentle breeze
-Humidifier for veg stage as it's very dry here
-Water is city tap with a ph of 8 that is buffered down to a 7
-Temps are 78 when lites on and 64 when off
-Nutes are organic from the local hydro store
The Gardener is
-a person who has smoked pot for about 40 years but never grew till this year
-a resident of Colorado and proud to have voted in amendment 64
-allowed to have 18 plants -9 of which can be in flower because there are 3 of us
-the same sex as her plants
-a person who uses pot both medicinally and recreationally
- a person who loves the vibe here at 420 magazine
On Oct 8 I soaked 8 seeds for 6 hours and put them in root riots on a heating pad for a couple days till they poked their heads up. Only 6 sprouted (So on the 18th I started 2 more THC Bombs) Then the 6 were transplanted to 1 liter airpots with Light Warrior soil. I fed them an 1/8 strength veg nutes a couple times and last nite 4 of them were transplanted to 3 gallon airposts with FFOF- the rest will be transplanted tonite.
BTW I made a HUGE mistake when I transplanted them last nite- they were so bone dry that the soil broke away a bit when I was handling them and that left them pretty droopy. Luckily they were recovered by this morning- the remaining 4 hopefully wont have that problem as their soil will be moist for transplant tonite.
Heres a few pics of progress so far:
My assistant here told me they were too dry to transplant but did I listen to her? Noooooo
This is how wilted they got
Well thanks for stopping by. I'll post more pics tonite when I transplant the last four babies.

Other than the transplant shock last nite these have been easy plants so far. Knowing how little water they need makes a huge difference.
Welcome and I agree air pots are kind of tricky to use. If they dry out too much it looks like a sprinkler when you water because of those holes, but I got really good results last time so I'm using them again.
Yep, I'm adding a 2x4 veg tent so the old 4x4 tent with its hid can be a perpetual flower tent. My first grow provided enough to smoke till the next harvest but we want to make edibles and ice water hash as well, and theres not enough for that so.........time to expand. I have a t5 light for it and will be starting it up a couple weeks after this current bunch of girls go into flower.
