Back For More - Organic Coco

[grimmreefer]

So I'm starting my second journal. I haven't been around in a while and wasn't really planning on doing a journal so I am Ill prepared as far as pics go. I have been growing for three or four years with a few grows I can say I was proud of.
I have been helping friends but haven't done my own thing for six or eight months. I am going through a divorce and lost my space. A buddy of mine was kind enough to let me use his home. He also has his card and has wanted to start growing for a while. I have a little bit of knowledge and equipment so he said I could use his place.
Currently we are outdoors but will be taking clones this week to start back up in the basement. I have run perpetual in the past and found it to fit my growing style (chaos like the rest of my life). I have a 4x8 tent that will be flower, we will get another same size that will be veg. I like to veg for eight to twelve weeks.
Right now I have four AKs, a strain I have grown many times before, one LSD, one Sour Diesel and one Northern lights auto.
Everything is in five gallon nursery pots except for the auto which is in a three gallon grow bag. I grow in coco which I cook for a month or so before the girls go in. I can't remember off the top of my head exactly what goes in but I know I use bone meal, blood meal, various bird and bat guano,ancient forest,worm castings, azomite ( trace minerals ) Mycos are and have always been a huge part of my grows, the coco looks moldy by the time the girls go in.
Everything I have now was started late for the outdoors, I popped beans early June, so they won't be the biggest yielders but I wanted to do something while we set up.
Like I said I don't have many pics but here are a few I took a couple of weeks ago.
I guess their at the top. I'll figure this out again eventually. I have to do this on my cell phone due to my future ex-wife "needing" our lab top more than me. (Sorry still a little bitter)

I am going to pull up a stool and gain me some knowledge. Thanks for the journal. Subbed

 

[grimmreefer]

Mtn man thanks for coming by! I thank you for your service, My buddy that I'm doing this with has four tours in the desert.
I previously forgot to mention that other than 3-4 doses of tea I will feed them strictly water. I have a few hydro runs and have gone with the additives and I really like the end product of the "activated" organics, I feel like the soil has enough in it to keep them going. The water comes out of the tap at 6.7Ph and
<100 ppm.
I am going there either tonight or tomorrow and will be back with some updated pics.

subbed, plants are looking nice!! I'm interested to see how your plants turn out, as I am interested in feeding my plant with very minimal nutrients as well. Happy growing!

Tell your buddy thanks for his service as well. Looking forward to the organic teas. Do a lot of Tea feeding myself. Good luck.

So I got some pics, I can't figure out how to make the face the right way
The first two are the NL auto I figure it has about five weeks left. Other than the soil it has not eaten anything, I think I might let it go with straight water and see what happens.

this is Lucy (Barneys LSD )

This one is the Sour diesel I took 15 clones off each one of these 2 days ago, I'm hoping 10 of each make it.
here are a couple of group shots, everything has had strictly water since repoting about three weeks ago.

I soak the rock wool in tap water and vitamin B, I use Jellyfish for the rooting hormone

Don't worry. you will probably be more bitter when the divorce is final. I am.



For that 'not so sideways' cell phone look, I do a CROP of the photo on my cell phone - SAVE and delete the orginal - this changes the orientation of the photo to upside up

 

[grimmreefer]

Trying not to be sour about the whole deal. She got the house and all of our crap, but I got the dog and that's all that I really wanted.

 

[Blazingbuds]

Sorry to hear bud. But you got your dog and your trees. How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I saw you rocking the 6.0's in your pic, cant imagine your much older than me?

Ya man losing the dog would have put me over the edge.
I'm on the wrong side of 35, iv been rockin' Dunks since they came out.

I think you will be happy with the results, I have grown in soil, done a few DWC runs and I am just the most comfortable in coco.

Hi grimm, sorry to hear of your recent troubles... here's a quick hug. and a joint. sounds like you could use both. glad to see you back, nice work with those outdoor plants, hope the clones do well. you have a very nice coco set up for sure, I'm excited to see your flowers and future grows. Subbed.

 

[grimmreefer]

Ms. Girl, life happens all around and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Having the wife and the stuff was great but I haven't been single in 8 or ten years and I am actually thoroughly enjoying it.
I'm not expecting much from the outdoors, it was pretty much something to do while the indoors got ready. I figured we could use the big grow light in the sky while we got tuned up inside. The plants were started late and not trained at all.
I will be starting another bin of coco this weekend hopefully I will have 20-25 babies to go in in 5 or 6 weeks. I try to go strictly organic the only thing I'm questioning is the Jellyfish I use as the hormone, I will be using aloe after going through your Jornal. The place I'm staying now has an aloe plant in nearly every room (alot of sunburnt people )
I'm gonna go back through BIDs, god rest his soul, journals to try to dial in my mix

And troubles or not I always need a hug and a joint!

Hey grimm, how are ya man? Your link took me to your old thread. After I found it, I was one of the 420 members who had their accounts messed up by the script they ran to purge old, outdated email accounts. Some like conradino couldn't even log in. I could log in but couldn't post. So back here a day later to say hello & glad you're back.

 

[madsdad4ever]

hi grimm how r u and ur ladies doin today

 

[grimmreefer]

Bright thanks for coming by. Your Gardens look green and lush!
I had a problem uploading a couple of days ago, I'm thinking it might have something to do with whatever you're talking about, scripts and purge and whatnot. I am one of the least computer savvy people you will ever know.

Good to be back.

 

[grimmreefer]

Madam it's kinda f'd up but I only get over there once or twice a week. I reliant on my buddy to keep everything in order.
