3rd Grow: 1st Journal 2020: Indoor GR & Soil

[SeniorMoments]

Yea week 8 sounds good. Do you have the space for another room/tent? Really depends on what you are wanting to do! If you have the space and want to get another light, its never to early or late! =) Im running into an issue as well, have 3 soil girls but can only flower 2 in this other space of mine. Hmmmmm

I have the room but not the inclination to set up another space at this time
I will wait for these girls to bloom to their full potential.
Let mama nature take her course.

Had to put this girl in a tent .
And some super cropping was in order .
Harvested some cucumbers and squash also .

 

[Michael Hunt]

Now that's a big ol plant! nice cucumbers as well. We just chopped all of our cucumber plants on Monday.

This plant is crazy wild . Barney’s Farm , Amnesia Lemon.
I topped it a half dozen times. Maybe more.
I have 2 others inside in 5 gal pots. I was able to control those .
The veggies have been plentiful . My tomatoes especially.

The tomato crop has been outstanding this Summer largely due to the fact that I applied some techniques learned from cannabis research and here at 420. I purchased seeds from a very reputable seed bank which included some heirloom varieties. I found an excellent organic potting soil and added a few amendments. I started seeds in my garage , under LED grow lights early Feb in a controlled environment . During the coldest weeks my temps stayed in the low 70’s.
Early March , moved all my plants to the greenhouse and up potted 3 times.
I transplanted 12” to 16” very healthy plants to the garden ( in special pre amended locations ) April 1st ( which is way to early ) against many gardeners recommendations. I had to cover them a couple times because of low temps in April.
I used a topping method to manage the vertical height. I kept all the low growth cut back.
They were fed w/ Fox Farm nutrients from early on. They have good clearance around them for air circulation. The bed is a mix of excellent original soils with clover planted last fall as a cover crop.
This supplies nitrogen to the soil and the root system keeps it aerated. I just mow it occasionally and no weeds.
We were eating fried green tomato’s very early in June. My first BLT was mid June .
A dozen a day now is not uncommon. Many of my neighbor gardeners , that waited to plant , are still waiting on ripe tomatoes.
Just another benefit of the study of cannabis farming.

Week 6

 

[Michael Hunt]

mmmm mmmmm those beauties are coming along nicely!

 

[HunterHunt]

Plants and garden are beautiful! Nothing like home grown veggies.... and cannabis

Yes. Week 7 is coming up. The AK/WW is supposed to be ready 55/60 days .
Sure looks like that might be the case ?
The other 2 varieties are 8 to 10 weeks. We shall see.

Thanks HN. I am giving tomato’s away now.
Sure hope I can do the same w/ some stellar buds soon.

Dam brother tht one girl is freaking huge lol. Nice job wrangling her in there man she is guna be a nice one come harvest time. Well actually she will prolly be a major pain in the ass come harvest but shit i bet the meds u get from her will make it all worth it lol. I actually jus took a branch off my Rhino Ryder x Bluedream auto i made an guna smash it with old faithful here my dabpress an see how some fresh rosin tastes with it. I only took one branch so far an let the rest to keep going. But yea i cant wait to see urs once they are done lol. Im major jelly over here i wish my outdoor attempt this year wuda went better then what it did. The tree fukn falln on all 3 of my photo clones wiped them out an all the clones i tried taking to replace them failed an didnt make roots. But thats ok kinda cuz i think im jus guna switch it up 2 running all autos since they grow so much faster an if done right they can yield some pretty good amounts of some nice ass buds. So far every auto ive done have been super intense frosty buds. The only thing ive noticed is that with autos as long as u get good genetics then they turn out really frosty an the terps are very intense. But every now an then i get a stunted auto which the yields will be slightly smaller but the buds still are amazing. As for yields i usually get anywhere from 2.5 to 5.5 zips of really nice buds. This is the first time ive used smaller buckets an the autos this run are way smaller then what i normally get. So im guna go back to the bigger pots an get bigger yields an jus do all autos. An half my harvest ill smash an turn into rosin an the other half dry an cure out so i got some flowers as well as dabs. Oh i almost forgot to ask what is the strain u got in that big wire bush outside lmao.

She is Barney’s Farm Amnesia Lemon. I had no idea she would get so big.
The stretch just started so no telling how she will end up. ??
I have some Gorilla Glue Autos I will try next.
The next adventure .

I know it’s early , 43 days vs 55/60 days per flower suggested days , but I cut a bud , washed it , hung it for a few hours and placed in a paper sack in the fridge.
I will do this again in 5 days. And then again in 5 more days.

Experimenting.

 

[Michael Hunt]

Mmm mmmm that looks like a tasty experiment

 

[HunterHunt]

Beautiful little bud! Let us know how it is!

Wife has been out of town for her business so I thought why not surprise her when she gets back
Hope it’s not a disappointment

Just after 2 1/2 days of drying in the bag , we tried a bowl of the Afghan Kush / White Widow last night.
Now keep in mind this is probably 10 days or more from prime harvest W/ no cure.
The taste was actually pretty mild and not rough. It was very sticky and still damp , but burned OK.
I immediately , after a couple hits , felt the buzz in my forehead and then kind of moved down into my shoulders and upper body.
We were sitting on our back deck , after dark , and the tree frogs were loud as heck.
We sat and talked for 2 hours on a wide range of subjects. I believe we solved all the world problems
We smoked 2 bowls and I received high praise from the wife .
This weed will not be for active day time use .
We were NOT disappointed.
