Good day everyone. This is my first post here. I recently rediscovered cannabis in Oct 2022. I tried my first outdoor grow using my amazing compost and had no freaking clue what I was doing. She ended up getting bud rot and I burned her ceremoniously in my fire pit. I was upwind.
I processed her before I knew what bud rot was. Yes, I was a huge noob. I didn’t smoke it though. I rolled myself a bone and when I put it up to my lips, I smelled something funky. Looked it up and sure enough, bud rot.
She was an auto, Afghan Kush. Named her Naqibullah after an Afghan who tried to kill us in, well, Afghanistan. Fortunately, Naqibullah was caught and his plan failed. He will rot forever, if he isn’t already gone. Anyway, my Naqibullah was beautiful and she will be missed. I didn’t know to protect her buds from moisture and she was battered and bruised in 40-50 mph gusts and she survived it all. Only to be let down by my ignorance. Never again.
I have never grown anything in my life before Naqibullah. I passively grew a CBD plant for fun and she thrived even though I neglected her. Her name was Motown Philly. I still have her. I don’t like the way she tastes.
Anyway, due to circumstances and the absolute shit weed around me, I decided to accelerate my timeline by buying an indoor hydroponics setup. I read hydro is more difficult, but so far, I’m finding it relatively straightforward. Aside from the astronomical volume of contradicting information out there, this is mostly intuitive and that isn’t to diminish the extremely talented growers out there. It’s also a science.
I germinated these on 3 Nov. One strain is Humboldt CSD and the other is super Lemon haze by GHMB. Both feminized photos. The CSD popped on 11 Nov and the SLH popped on 13 Nov.
I’m using the superflower cabinet. Kind X330 LED, 16 pot reservoir/approx 17 gallons. I’m only growing two based on the obviously limited grow space.
I’m using the Lotus brand of nutrients because it came with the cabinet.
Hanna TDS/PH/EC pen.
My girls are under 25% strength lighting for now. I’ll increase it soon.
Meet La Grita. She is the CSD (I think. Was floating in outer space when I marked these, LMAO). Her leaves curling downward, so I raised the light canopy to 24”, up from 14” or so
Meet Valéria:
Their current stats:
Using Lotus “Grow” pro series nutes
VPD .92 (used online calculator)
EC 1511
PH 5.7
PPM 755
Need other info?
Not sure what else to add here. I’ll try not to be so long-winded in my subsequent posts.
Thanks, everyone.
