Hey all!
New here and pretty new to growing. Got about a year of growing under my belt with multiple “attempts” when I was younger but with nothing really coming of it. A few dead plants and a lot of spider mites lol. I’m loving the whole gardening thing in general though and even started doing Bonsai and growing peppers so I’m all in! I also practice a bit of KNF, JADAM, and I make ferments and stuff like LABS, etc. Currently I grow in a DIY no-till/living soil 65 gallon fabric SIP bed. It's a 65 gallon fabric pot with an Earthbox inside of it that sits at the bottom to act as a mini reservoir for the bed and it is aerated as well. This is in a 3'x3'x6' tent I use for veg and flower and a custom 1'x2'x3' cabinet I made for vegging/popping seeds/clones/sexing etc.
I'm a huge nerd at heart though. Everything from movies, shows, or music to computers, gaming, electronics, anything so I can talk forever lol. Of course, this transfers to growing where I focus on everything from natural growth hormones like soluble kelp powder(Asytrophylum Nodosum) and 200x Aloe Vera Flakes to tracking DLI, VPD, light spectrum, optimal leaf surface temperatures, and practice drought stress, cold stress, etc. I'll probably end up starting a grow diary here so catch me over there and let's talk!
My current project is sexing 8 Karma Sour D Bx2 F2 from a friend and hunting for a male. I also have a BOG Sour Strawberry Kush x Roadkill Skunk going and 2 Triangle Kush x Ghostwalker(Aficonado) that I'm also sexing. As for stock or anything I have a Dogwalker OG and King Louis XIII OG from Boss Hoss, Daywrecker(Original Diesel, Diesel #1) and MAC Stomper from In The Sticks Gardens and Permanent Marker from a buddy who got it in MI. I also just harvested some Pinot Noir by Mephisto Genetics that was a bit early probably, but all the trichomes were cloudy so I think it was just late pistil throwing.
I'm excited to get started over here!

I hope everyone is having a swell Sunday, I'm happy to have made my way over here to THCFarmer, the layout and everything is so clean. I hope I get to meet and interact with all of you and hopefully share some seeds from my
I always tell myself I'll try to keep everything nice and formatted and clean but alas, the information coming from my garden overwhelms even me sometimes lol. I also just like to talk and keep conversation going because that's how we learn! SO, without further ado, let's get started.

Updated: May 24, 2026We've moved TKxGW to 9 oz solo cups, which I wish I would've started the KSD in, but here we are lol. Everything still looks nice and healthy.We also flipped to 12/12 today to sex them. After sexing, males will be moved to the cabinet under 12/12 to hunt and collect pollen, and the females will be put into the SIP bed to veg longer.I also harvested the Pinot Noir today. It was still throwing white hairs, but it's been in late flower fading for a while now and I needed it out of the way. I think it was just genetics because trichs looked good, but I usually prefer a bit more amber.Light spectrum has also been changed to flowering to encourage sex showing sooner, hopefully, lol.Growth Chart Quick Reference
Compact stage-by-stage reference for temps, VPD, light, dimming, and height.
| Stage | Visual Cue | LST On | LST Off | VPD On | VPD Off | DLI | Dim | Height | Light Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germination | Seed cracked, taproot visible, no leaves yet | — | — | — | — | 13 | 25/38 | 16" | 18/12 |
| Seedling | 1–2 nodes, cotyledons prominent, thin stem, under 3" | 75 | 72 | 0.8 | 0.7 | 15 | 29/44 | 16" | 18/12 |
| Early Veg | 3–5 nodes, slow structure-building, 3–8" tall | 79 | 75 | 0.9 | 0.8 | 20 | 37/56 | 16" | 18/12 |
| Peak Veg | Daily growth, drinking fast, vigorous and hungry | 82 | 77 | 1.1 | 1.0 | 30 | 56/84 | 16" | 18/12 |
| Pre-Flower | Pistils at nodes, stretch beginning, flip happened | 83 | 78 | 1.2 | 1.1 | 35 | 83 | 12" | 12 |
| Early Flower | Stretching hard, bud sites forming and stacking | 81 | 75 | 1.3 | 1.2 | 40 | 96 | 12" | 12 |
| Mid-Flower | Stretch done, buds fattening, frosty, loud smell | 76 | 72 | 1.3 | 1.2 | 42 | 100 | 12" | 12 |
| Late Flower | Dense buds, pistils browning, mostly cloudy trichs | 72 | 68 | 1.3 | 1.2 | 35 | 83 | 12" | 12 |
| Ripening | Fade showing, amber appearing, finish line close | 68 | 64 | 1.3 | 1.2 | 30 | 72 | 12" | 12 |
Legend:
- LST = leaf surface temp
- DLI = daily light integral
- Dim = dimming setting
- Height = light height
Goals
- Replenish flower.
- Evaluate KSD for keepers for future projects
- Evaluate TKxGW for keepers for future projects.
- Evaluate SSKxRKS for keeper for future projects.

Notes
- KSD #8 is standing out as a vigorous one. Pretty much has caught up to the TKxGW in growth. Could be due to transplanting the TKxGW and stunting them a bit, but none of the other KSD have caught up to the TKxGW.
