Doing the proper thing and introducing myself. Hope everyone is safe in these wacky times. Gotta be honest, I'm ducking hooked on this growing thing! Primary motivation is to grow a flower that I'm OK imbibing. In my case that means as free of harmful chemicals as I can get it and as far removed from unethical business practices as possible. Add in a dash of self-sufficiency, a touch of control freak, a dollop of scientific curiosity, and here we are. Not totally new to 'growing' but coming at it from the 'gardening' angle. Perennials, vegetables, etc. Have been looking for a flower to get excited about and damn skippy sure I found one! First grow was a seed I tossed over the back porch in November of 2018. About pooed myself the following May when I saw it rear it gorgeous little head. Stuck it in a 10-gallon plastic pot full of FFHF and harvested 6 dry OZ the following October. It was a pretty hands off grow. Maintenance wise at least. Fertilized with a general purpose organic Bloom/Bud combo made by a company near me and flushed about 2 weeks before harvest. Felt all the tingly's associated with success! Second grow (current), moved inside for a little more privacy. Bought 3 LED lights (3600W,), popped a mix of Green Crack and Girl Scout. Buried'em all in FFOF and starting using their 3 pack combo. I'm pretty sure I got a little impatient around the second transplant cause that's where things started going wrong. Anyway, I'm flushing them this weekend (pretty sure experiencing nute-lock and phosphorous deficiency) and planning to rebuild things with the Roots Organic line-up. 5 weeks into flowering so not sure what the effect will be but damn curious to find out and happy to write this one off as a learning experience. Fingers crossed no bugs or rot hits those girls! I Currently planning/setting up to have a swing at an outdoor grow of a couple Strawberry Cheesecake Autos. I'll start some kind of grow journal over in the appropriate forum. Come along for the ride if you'd like. Can't promise anything but a bazillion questions!
