My Second Grow and Anxious Already

[littlelil]

Thanks to all the help I got here I was able to grow my own, not knowing anyone where I live, personally, it was grow my own or suffer, so I am very grateful to all.
I enjoyed it so much it has now become a hobby.
I redid my closet, it was a mess not understanding the needs of my first grow I started with the thinking it's just a weed, just stick the seed in dirt and poof. Well, it's not like that I had to add all kinds of lights, fan and humidity. It was all done haphazardly and I worried about safety all the time.
It is now set up clean and safe. It will be only 4 plants, two from unknown seeds but from the same source as last grow and two others called, "Shanti". Shanti feminized, 75% sativa, 25% indica,THC: 15% flowering time 9 weeks, yield 450 gr per sq. indoor and up to 350 gr per plant outdoor. The leaves are supposed to be large so I wanted them to have plenty of room.
I started them in soil and now anxiously awaiting their birth and will post pics as soon as they arrive.

I only wanted to plant 2 of the Shanti just encase.
Weeeeeee here we go again

Well, I went in to check on them last nite and there is a little bit poking through the dirt and this morning there SHE, positive thinking, was with her little leaves stretching out soaking in the warmth of the light. My boyfriend and I named her Bud.
There is no signs from the others yet, I sure hope the Shanti arrives soon.
Maybe we should call HER lady bud. Positive thinking.

good to hear they broke soil. That Shanti sounds like a really nice strain, I'll have to check it out. How was your last harvest?

 

[littlelil]

Thank you. I had only two make it but one, when harvested, was almost 4 ft and the other about 3 and they did really well and I got some good smoke.
I am hoping the Shanti shows soon. The Shanti are girls, I'll be very happy when I see them.
It's like waiting for birth. Will it be OK? Will it be a boy or girl? You get alittle nuts when you grow your own

 

[Steve McStoferson]

yeah i hear that, my first grow, i grew 6 healthy plants, pretty small but only ended up with 2 females from the bunch. It's definitely good to know they're female, I tend it grow attached to them all

What going on Littlelil? Pests?

 

[littlelil]

Yes, sniff, sniff. They just came up and so did the worm. White, about 1/4''or smaller, a real wiggler...sniff. I have 2 special ones, two Shanti, I can replace the others without a lot of pain but the "Shanti" I bought so I still have 3 seeds but hope I can save the one that sprouted...gee weez, outta the gate...sniff,
I am wondering if I can extract the babies and bake the soil and get them in again, what do you think?

 

[The Weed]

If you are able to just grab the worm ... Grab it. I really don't think that they will be much of them to be a problem to your babies. If your talking about pulling them and treating the soil, I would hold off. Worms are not known to be a pest in cannabis growing. Let it play out.

 

[littlelil]

It is crazy how we get over our grow and I know I'm not alone.
I will keep a close eye on them. Thanks for the encouragement.
PS
I see green with the other Shanti.

 

[The Weed]

That Shanti Sound Like Fun and rewarding!!! Worthy of all your TLC! GRow Strong Littlelil!

 

[littlelil]

They are all up, I have 5 in all, 2 of the Shanti and 3 of unknown.. Same seeds from last grow and was very happy with the results.
I tried to insert pics but the box wouldn't come up.
The Shanti has shorter fatter leaves and is slower in growth, the pics are in the gallery. I wish the box would show up, I wanted to show the difference.
I decided on the five because of the seed color. I found this fat seed and it was a light tan with spots.. I am curious about the colors of different seeds, what difference does it make, if any.
I hope everyone out there is well and the kids are well too.

Still no box

 

[littlelil]

I can't get the image box to come up. I sounds like it should but no box

Hi guys, been thar. They are a larvae that eats tender root hairs. Maybe cabbage maggots, fungus knats or the scarid fly. All stink. Keep your eyes open!

 

[Screwnuts33]

Here she is.

 

[littlelil]

I started with one of the home brews found here and been keeping a close eye on them, they seem to be OK. I haven't checked them yet today with my trusty magnifier but heading in there soon.
When I see something moving I take it seriously. I will never use any soil
again without cooking it.
Thanks for the heads up.

Neem oil if you do.

 

[littlelil]

You little rascal you, I looking at the pic and was wondering where heck I was.. Thank you very much. I don't know why the box will not come up for me...

That is the "Shanti" its leaves are shorter and fatter then the bag seed.

Also when I checked on them this morning low and behold there are two white things hanging from this one and some kind of bug. I picked off the white things trying to get a better look..My opinion they were some kind of eggs, maybe belonging to the bug. I grabbed it to fast I should have gotten a better look. It had longer legs on its front. Off to check the bug list to see if it's there.
Thank again.

Do you see any insect damage? Look at the newest growth.

 

[littlelil]

No, I got them right off. I go over them every morning with a magnifier so I don't think they a lot of time.. I will check on them again tonite.
There just babies.
Hey, I sat in at my first "Holdem" table, it was scary they all had their pissed off poker faces but I soon learned to glare back. I'm so proud.

The soil I got was Miracle grow, I thought I would be ok with it,it is supposed to be good soil. I didn't like the look of it, and me, I should have listened to my instincts but no I go a head and use it. What a big mistake.
I have a proliferate of insects happily living in my soil. I have a colony of little white bugs that scurry off when exposed and white larva.. What to do? I dug around the dirt and sprayed the home made soap and oil, they didn't care for that much. I read here on the forum someone used sand to suffocate then. I'm wondering if that's what I should do. Both of the Shanti, it figures.
Not happy at all.
