Hey
if you'll have me, I'd like to come back with another journal. Really I need to. Growing without one this last year hasn't been the easiest, man I struggle with keeping track of time. A journal leaves me in no doubt when something popped, flipped, fed, watered, or whatever else I need to keep track of.
Not to mention the huge pool of knowledge around here to tap into, the great advice, and just sharing with others who enjoy this hobby of ours.
2019 wasn't the greatest of years for me, and whilst I kept growing, I really didn't feel like sharing, but that is all behind me.
My plans for 2020....
Well first let's get this beauty to harvest. The Kraken by Buddha Seeds
Alright she's not that great, but she's a beauty to me. She was flipped 2 or 3 weeks ago (see, vague) and she should finish just after Easter(ish). I could have/should have vegged her longer but hey hoe, too late now.
She's in Bio Bizz soil, being fed Bio Bizz neuts, under my 160 watt cob light featured in my previous grow.
I defoliated her last weekend, and tied her down to get better air circulation. She's just starting to recover, I may have been a little too rough with her.
My second plan is to get these 2 to harvest.....
Both Auto's, one's a Dark Devil (for sure), the other's a Blueberry (I think), but I'm not sure which is which Today is day 1, the journal's already working.
The plan's to keep these 2 in my horrible tent upstairs for now, and then move them into the garden when they are more established. It's going to be another Bio Bizz grow, soil and neuts, but maybe my last one. I've been reading up on Hempy Buckets, and I'm intrigued, we shall see, that's for later.
The unusual part of this grow will be the supplemental lighting. While my yard/garden is a cool place to hang out during the Mediterranean summer, my plants are lucky to get 4 or 5 hours of direct sunshine. Not enough, I grew outside there last summer and ended up with tall, spindly plants, far from ideal.
I haven't decided what lighting, or how much. I'm also not sure for what length of time I can use this proposed system. Running the lights at night will work in May/June I'm sure, but might not come August. The whole thing's going to be an exercise in learning. Watch this space.
Another project I have going on is building a grow light for a family member. An Uncle has started growing for medical reasons, he has been diagnosed with Parkinsons.
I recently visited and got to see his set up, alas the poor man got fished in with a 600 watt ebay blurple light. I got him to upgrade to a 125 watt CFL, for the short term, but I can do better than that for him.
Right that's what I've got going on, any ideas or suggestions feel free to jump in.
