I've been a little shy to share my grow, as I see many on here have reached a level of virtuosity when it comes to cultivating bud.
It's a love affair I have with the ladies of the danky herb. Everything about this plant just fascinated me since I first got a whiff of cali grown.
Fast forward 6 years later and I finally stomached up the courage to attempt to grow this intimidating yet forgiving plant. Let me start off by saying I respect everyone out there that can produce quality out of their plants, it's quit an art.
So to cut to the brass, I decided to try out BlimBurn Seeds as my first run. I know these genetics won't cut it for most, but I thought id give myself a little slice of living hell by going for their new strains. 5 GG#4's, 1 Grizzly purple. All autos, all seem to be F1 or F2 as im not sure about blimburns history with these strains. Coco peat- pearlite@ 70 /30 ratio, and the grizzly in a potting soil coco mix @ 50/50. We had a little issue with overwatering in the early seedling phase of the grow and that stunted the poor little guys out for a couple of days till I adjusted the medium. They received there first feeding three days ago and have shown 2 extra sets of true leaves. I'm running the GGs in larger 3 liter pots as space is an issue, and will definitely adjust pot sizes for future grows. They're getting an incremental increases in the gh trio's strength and AN sensi cal mag extra Ph @5.6-6(varies from each feeding). Growth was noticeable after second feeding. As for the lady in the soil coco mix, I gave her some great white and a feeding of organic grape molasses made locally and she initially showed some slight signs on burnt tips(probably due to the NPK levels in the soil) but readjusted after a phd watering. My temps are around 28-30 Celsius 78-85 Fahrenheit, RH. 30-35%. Not idea but my current location enables me from my beloved amazon prime, and pretty much anything. Also space. As for equipment I'm running a pc cooling fan and a small floor fan with an open container of water to keep humidity up but its like tiny farts of humidity and is negligible, most airflow. Lamps, I'm running two Chinese LEDs, one phlizon 600 w, and one watt shine 300 w, so around 130 is actual watts. Hanging is a supplemental cfl rated at 75w daylight bulb. For flower I intended to keep my current setup, but switch out the white to warm cfl, and will be hooking my 150w HPS to the ballast as a hanging bulb. Any ways here are some pictures. I apologize in advance if my lack of experience offends anyone as I know a lot of you do this as a living. I have never grown anything in my life other than sprouting beans at school, and I've spent most of my life behind a computer processing code and 3D models. so pics ! I have grown really fond of these little babies and am already hating the day I might need to chop. This plant is phenomenal, and absolutely love listening to Chris de Burgh.
