Perpetual, permanent, perennial grow diary... 🙃

Yes, all good thanks after a bit of a crazy Summer. Hope you're doing well also and your grows and clones are doing better.

I'm pretty excited about the photos, should be a lot of fun and a good learning process. Looking forward to deciding what to grow!

What were you thinking for strains?

 

[BearWater]

Dude! Sorry i missed the tag in your post! yeah i would give them a rinse after the chop. im applying Capt jacks dead bug on my outdoor right now (trichomes and buds). i plan on doing a few bucket rinse station on them after the chop : )

everything thing is looking awesome!

That's a very, very good qu my friend!

I have a few tasty strains from our very own Tenguseedco on here and also some Northern Hashplant seeds I was kindly donated from @TheGoldenRoad Along with some mystery seeds I was also given, they should be either Northern Lights F2 but might be a Blueberry or two in there as well (or so I've been told!) The one I have got outside now is definitely leaning towards the NL.

Ideally I'd like to try some classics/landraces, so the NH and NL along with a few of the more exotic Tengu's maybe. The Tokyo Snow and Project 4516 are catching my eye. They were nearly in my outdoor grow this year but chose others (as you do).

I'd also love some Cali Blue/Dream and open to any ideas/suggestions. It's a whole new world looking at photo breeders/seedbanks. I've worked out the best Auto ones but now have to try and sort the wheat from the chaff for Photos!

Aah cool, not worried at all about it and ruining the whole harvest now...lol!

Do you go the lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda or hydrogen peroxide mix wash, then water. 2 or 3 buckets?

So i have only dunked a plant i was growing and only used water that time. For the outdoor run all i was going to use is water. I know some use a mixture but i couldn’t recommend a dosage or any substance as I’ve never tried that. I have put H2O2 in water for soaking seeds along with watering some seedling with a mix of H2O2 and water that had some root soggy going on lol.

Fair enough!

I'm sure it'll all be fine...

So, the Death Star is not in a good way. Went out there a few days back and saw yet more dead buds so went to town on her and seems like she was riddled with it. Took off well over an oz or two of dense, sticky, dank bud! Was going to just chop and throw her but I'd still like a little try so I think what I have left is good and she can be my first victim/test subject for bud washing! I'd really like to run her again in the tent as think she would absolutely shine indoors so one for the list.

In better news, I have the tent and autopots all setup for the next grow. Literally just need to fill with the medium (coco/perlite 70/30) and then transplant the seedlings asap. They germinated 24hrs ago so I'm just waiting for them to stick their heads out and off we go.

 

[lenhug]

Well, that bud wash was...interesting! Seemed to go ok but I don't think I hung them for long enough afterwards before sticking them in the Cannatrol. Were very green shall we say but that said it should be fine now they're in there.

In other news, it's a constant battle out there against those bloody caterpillars, I'm snipping off clumps every morning it seems. A better plan is needed next season.

And my next grow is ongoing, will update later on that, some slight mishaps along the way but back on track now. I'm blaming the edibles...

Do you live close to Ontario Canada? Wouldnt mind brushing up on my putting skillz

 

[Greenadian]

By the sounds of things.....many people are getting annoyed by those damn caterpillars this season

Thats not going to go over very well with the wife once she catches on! “Hey honey I’m going golfing today” proceeds to travel internationally to play golf for the day!

Lol, you're welcome any time (SoCal). The kids will thrash you, me, not so much.

Turning into an absolute nightmare for me tbh.

The Cherry Pie might be visiting that compost heap in the sky shortly. She is absolutley ravaged and riddled sadly.

And now I'm starting to find them in the lovely, chunky Topanga Canyon. I think I might be doing an early chop with her as can't bear to lose that one as well. She's close anyway tbh.

 

[Greenadian]

I see some new seeds in your future

 

[lenhug]

Lol, I think you may well be right. That's a ridiculous amount to choose!

 

[Suds.an.buds]

What a great giveaway to win definitely should be set on seeds for a while if you don’t mind imma tag along this thread i have been here almost 2 years and never checked ur thread out

The more the merrier, the more the merrier!

Ok, we are cooking!

Finally plugged everything back in and letting the environment just settle itself. Plan to put the seedlings in today or tomorrow (on the upturned pots in the middle). Speaking of which, here they are:

As a quick reminder we settled on:

1 3
2 4

1 - Blappleberry (Speedrun Seeds)
2 - 1: Walt (Mephisto)
3 - OG Kush (Twisted Trees)
4 - Vanilla Fizz F2 (NightOwl)

We're on day 6 so plan to transplant either a little early on Thurs morning or after the weekend on Monday (as away till then). I'm thinking probably the sooner the better tbh and I can then start getting a nice weak nutrient feed in to them (will soak the coco as autopots don't get switched on for a little while yet).

And here's the rest of the setup:

 

[Greenjourneyman]

Fancy gizmos man!

 

[lenhug]

I love me some technology, I really do!

Still, counts for naught if you don't know and implement the basics and also give them some love (and a good chit chat whenever possible or maybe that's just me?)
