What's going on guys? This will be my journal in about 6 years, so bear with me as I am getting back into my groove. This year in January, I moved to a new house. While unpacking all my old grow gear, I stumbled upon a single seed in a bag that had a faded Barnies Farm Seeds sticker on it, but the strain was too worn to make out any letters on it. I went back on all my seed purchases, but I never ordered anything from this breeder from any seed bank. I believe it must be one of the many seed exchanges that took place back in the days of the Couchlock Cafe forum. I was lucky, and the regular seed turned out to be a female. As I just popped it for fun, not expecting it to even do that, I threw it in a red beer cup and some straight 420 recipe soil by E.B. stone I picked up at Ace for my tomatoes the previous year. The baby sprouted the surface in 3 days. Filled in nice. When I saw roots out the bottom, I put it in a 1 gallon with more 420 recipe. I topped it many times, thinking it was going to be a male, to get used to topping and LST'ing again. I threw it outside on February 14th into a 5 gallon pot with more 420 recipe. I fed just water until March 1st, then I noticed the thing was a female. I took it as an omen, and said "Fuck it. Here we go!"
I threw it in a bin that was about 24"x24"x18" filled with a bag of the same 420 recipe mix and completed flower with just water. I was happily surprised by the soil. Since I did not have any seeds left, and the grow itch that had crept on me making me start to twitch, I harvested 90% of the plant, and chopped it back to just 18" in height. I left it in that bin giving EWC ACT, compost ACT, alfalfa meal ACT, and kelp meal ACT rotating each one every Saturday with plain tap aerated overnight in my cone bottom tank every Monday and Wednesday. August 1st came, as did the pre-flowers. I immediately ordered up a 100 gallon GeoPot, 7 bags of 420 recipe and 2 bags of Empire Builder. Mixed it all up, hit it with myco, and watered with 7 gallons of ACT that had 1/2 cup EWC, 1/2 cup compost, 1/4 cup kelp meal, and 1/4 cup alfalfa meal in panty hose, along with 5 tbs of Earth Juice Hi-Brix molasses, and 5 tbs Earth Juice Catalyst. This aerated in my tank for 36 hours in the shade before "feeding" the soil. I threw in 50 red worms I bought at a bait shop for shits and giggles. I let it sit for 1 week in the Geo-Pot tarped, and transplanted from the bin to the 100 gal on August 15th and hit them with the same tea mix + 1/4 tsp coconut powder (I dunno..... I was high, and a hippy talked me into it :joyful:)
It's been getting nothing but water since. Yesterday, I fed her with 1/2 cup EWC, 1/2cup compost, 1/4 cup high P bat guano ACT 7 gallons again with 5 tbs hi-brix and 5tbs catalyst. I have not PH'd anything but the soil due to the fact that all my testers will either need to be replaced or re-calibrated after 6 years of non-use. I did check the TDS of my tea yesterday, and it was at 1050. My tap tested at 207. I am unsure if I can trust these numbers, but they are close to what I remember, especially the tap water in my area. Anyhow, I got a new phone and was finally able to snap a couple photos, so here they are :). Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to document what I have done so far for my own reference as well.
I will try to update weekly.
