How rude of me... Please forgive me and thank you for tagging along here

 

[tokes]

Gonna stick around for this one. I've heard of this strain before but have never personally tried it so I'm anxious to see the end result. Best of luck and happy growing!

 

[CagedApe]

Yaaay, update time... Not much on the green matter front has changed, maybe a couple of inches. They have another 3 inches and then I'm flipping them. I estimate April 12th I'll put er' over to 12/12. This Sunday I'm doing haircuts and I'll post before and afters.

I added something to my nutrient plate. I picked up some Future Harvest Super B +. Vitamins... You know, bla bla bla...

On the equipment side.... I received my new light! Viparspectra r900... I can tell a difference between what I was using but was it worth the $315 that I paid... I'm not quite sure. Only time will tell with the flowering and harvest. When I pulled it out of the box, it felt like a well built light. Not like those 1000 watt knockoffs. My first impression sitting here looking at it... I'm happy with it

I finally figured out how to lay pictures in full image so that's a win for me... PHEW! Well that's all I have left peeps and I'll post that update on Sunday or Monday with the new hairdos. Enjoy your weekend!

Sweet, I'm just about to fire the whole flowering thing up with Future Harvest. They gave me this for free when I was at the hydro shop.

It should do this crop and possibly some or all of the next but results is what I want. What light did you get. Are ya holdin out?

Hi everyone... Well this isn't my first grow but I have taken the hobby back up more recently. I'm what you could say a new old grower or a old new grower. Depends on how you look at it. Anywho, I use to grow 20 years ago illegally like alot of people. Now that I'm older and a little wiser, I'm focused on the science of it and not the money. Oh yeah, don't worry.... It's all about the weed folks Now I've been encouraged by my fellow Albertans to fire up a grow thread and I thought... why not... I have absolutely zero life and I love growing cannabis. Hell.... I'm in the right place So I guess without further ado... THE DETAILS!!!

You got those for free? Bad ass. Yeah I got the early flower, mid flower and late flower nutes from that line as well. I only ran one run with them then I switched to mega crop. I got tired of individually measuring each one out.

Yeah for free. The owner of the shop sold his share in Future Harvest and still stock the line so he knows them personally and gave them to give to customers. It's not like I was that special Yeah so I'm going to run that when I flip. Could you notice any difference or did you just know it helps?

Free is nice!! I didn’t notice an extreme difference but I did notice a difference. I Ran two plants with out the flower nutes, then again but in coco, the plants didn’t turn out very well. Then I grew the same strains but in the soil I like to use (worm casting and perlite) and they turned out amazing. So it’s kinda hard to tell because I’m judging it off of my grow before using them, and they didn’t turn out very well nutrients or not. So yes, maybe, no..? Is your answer lol!!

 

[Canuckush]

I'll follow along neighbor!

 

[CagedApe]

I'm a day late but not really much to update other than I did some defoliation on sunday. It doesn't look like it but I'll pluck the odd one until day 21 after the flip.

The little one on the left in the front is a runt... I've been having problems with clones taking properly with the Rockstar. So this one took longer than the other 3.
I have a little sneak peek at my next 2 journals. Taking pictures along the way and I'll put them together later

Well that's all I got for today kids! Have a great day!

 

[BabyTrees]

Looking real good!
