My Disappointing, even PATHETIC Grow!

[MyGrowYo]

Dude :-), potting mixes are not miracle workers. I didn't read your grow diary, yet :-). It looks like u may need to check your pH run-off. Looks like a possible iron deficiency and definitely a nitrogen deficiency.

This guy needs a time machine, or some reading glasses Haha

Congratulations for quitting tobacco/nicotine. its hard AF

took these cuttings about 2 weeks ago, 2 off my Banana Kush, 1 off my Mango Kush.

it's late summer, so i had left these cuttings in its plastic dome on the balcony, during the day. and brought them in, under either the T5 or SF-1000 overnight. i moved the plastic dome to where the light was, chasing the light for 2 weeks.

i noticed today, a single white root sticking out of one of these pots filled with clayballs. okay, my cuttings are now rooted clones. i must transplant!



i transplanted the cuttings into a larger rockwool cube, whacked the cutting into a net pot filled with clayballs, and simply placed over a 5 litre bucket with an air-stone on its bottom. filled the bucket with some dicarded aquarium water. I cut small length of air-line and placed a split-valve, to attach to an air-pump running my larger 20 litre DWC. simple job done.

i will dip some of its reservoir over the cube every 3 days or so, until the roots further establish.

told ya, i make it up, as i go along.

now, if i was planninig ahead, i would build my 3rd DWC bucket and get some more DWC supplies including more netpots, nutrients, etc. i don't have another such bubbler set up for the remaining 2 rooted cuttings.

ok, time-out, need a cuppa to think about what am i doing with the other two remaining cuttings? and what DWC supplies would i need? might do a run to get small bag of potting mix.

maybe i should stop this 'she'll be right' approach to my grows, i just go-with-the-flow.

you know, i haven't set foot into a hydroponics store, this century. that thought blew me out. well, the closest brick & mortar hydroponics store that i know of, thru my internet surfing, is 30 kilometres away, across our harbour.

i got thinking such, when i was browsing the internet, looking at sourcing some DWC supplies. i blew out, thinking it would be nice, occasionally, to see the specific item/product in person, before buying online. also, just to look at other setups, to see all the products underneath one roof. browing a shopping cart doesn't satisfy my animal instincts, though i can manage to get by. sometimes, i need to see things for myself, not on YouTube.

akin to maybe like watching porn on your phone and going to a strip club, what's more satisfying, though it does maybe the same job?

yeah, come to think of it, i haven't been to a strip club for about the same length of time as that hydroponics store....but thoughts of strip club doesn't blow me out, not today.

been raining for the last 13 days, and forecasted to rain for at least another week.

once in a 1000 years event, apparently. i think some areas have been hit with mass flooding three times, recently.

i gather the outdoor grow season this year would be a challenge. How does your garden grow?

anyway, ppl have lost everything, some lives lost. so, this puts things back into perspective.

I haven't been so affected, only getting wet when i smoke my joints outdoors.

harvested 5 days ago, spidermite infestation.

disappointed. gonna quickly dry and hardly cure, gonna use this for green dragon & edibles.

it is what it is. onto the next grow, do better.

Smoking cannabis mixed with tobacco created my nicotine addiction, where I then smoked tobacco independently of cannabis. I smoked marijuana, before i smoked any tobacco. My m8s would mix the bowl with tobacco, where i used to smoke my own bowl with no tobacco mix. Then, i started to mix my bowls with tobacco.

I think its unclear whether there is any difference in health impact of smoking joints as compared with spliffs. However, there is a greater detrimental health effects of smoking both spliffs and cigarettes.

there was an element of lighting a cigarette in public, to ease my urge for some ganja - cigarettes were more socially acceptable than lighting up a joint, and avoid criminal offences. now, i light up a joint in public, broad daylight and frank, i don't give a f*.

i used to smoke bowls mixed with 'baccy', smoke a packet of cigarettes every 2nd day. sometimes on the piss, smoked 2 packets of cigarettes in one day. it's now $35 a packet, $55 for same packet at the servo (petrol/gas station). $90 for 7 grams of nice pot, on the street.

today, i smoked 5 joints, no cigarettes. okay, i might want to smoke a packet of 25 joints every 2 days, but i don't.

this is my little hopeful story to encourage others to quit tobacco.

decided rather late, to attempt my first SCROG.

and i think the scrog net is a little small for my tent.

yup, band-aid to fix.

 

[Kampbe1l]

disorderly first scrog attempt, my 3rd DWC grow.

 

[Kampbe1l]

about to hit her with some PK 13/14, tomorrow when i do her reservoir change.

i figured about 5 weeks before her harvest.

 

[Kampbe1l]

estimating that 65 days since flipping to 12/12 on/off light cycle is 30 May 2022, while 75 day mark is 11 June 2022. guesstimating its harvest.

she stinks.

 

[Kampbe1l]

yeah, some drama including relocating the grow tents, to allow the technician to repair our home internet.

60-odd days since flipping her into 12/12 on/off light cycle, pistills are off-white, not much tanned.

totally lost control of my first scrog attempt.
