Preface: Hello, I am TorturedSoul. Some of you may have read a post - or two - of mine before. I started a grow journal once before, but my fertilizer supplier came to be under Official Scrutiny - so I got paranoid, removed everything even vaguely cannabis-related from my home, my life, and my computer and crawled under a rock for a few years. Fast forward to now. I am back and I cannot help but feel that I owe the community a journal, lol. I hope that things go better this time, that I can finish my grow, and that I do not end up feeling the need to find another rock to crawl under.
This post is sort of a bit premature. When I stated I got rid of everything cannabis-related, I meant exactly that; I am starting from scratch. I am told that (much of) the various nutrients that I hurriedly gave away went unused, were stored tightly sealed, and can be mine again. But I am unsure about a light at present. Because IDK what type/size of light I will have (and am, at this point, just hoping that I will have one become available when I need it), I cannot really finalize my plans for the size of my grow area.
The reason that I am starting my journal NOW is that I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands. I had originally intended to grow two strains, but that fickle lady fortune actually smiled upon me for once, lol - and I have a few more strains available to choose from. Would anyone like to help me choose?
I will be growing this for sure:
I have long been a fan of Kali Mist. These are feminized seeds, so I will be growing one to start with.
I am also a fan of Jack Herer from way back - both the activist (RiP) and the strain. These are regular seeds, so I will be growing two. If I get two females, I will try to grow them both out (as, like with the Kali Mist, there are multiple phenotypes). If I get one male, I may attempt to figure out a way to isolate it and keep it alive, for its genetics will make it a suitable parent, IMHO. I hope I do not end up with two males <KNOCKS ON WOOD>.
And here is my dilemna: There were also some "bonus" seeds sent, and I am allowed to choose one or more of them...
I realize that my space will be limited, and trying to grow multiple strains (especially after a long hiatus from growing) can be "a bit" of a handful. But I am of a mind to grow one, possibly even two of the Barney's Farm strains. Anyone want to offer their suggestions/advice? I am thinking about the Blue Cheese (because it has Blueberry as one of its parents), but that choice is not set in stone; I may choose a different strain or choose none of them.
I have not germinated the seeds yet, so I have a little time. And I can eek them along under low intensity light to begin with if I must. If, when the time comes to put them under decent lighting, I still haven't figured a solution... Well, I will probably end up transplanting them to locations that are sure to be an embarrassment for the establishment . But I hope to have something worked out by then (optimistic, perhaps, as I am operating on a shoestring budget - a broken, knotted shoestring at that, lol). I have friends/family who could use the meds and have agreed to give much of my harvest away, and I would hate to disappoint.
