Hi Folks,
I am back with my fourth (if you count the mini one I learnt from but not documented) grow diary and, from here on in, main thread for all subsequent ones. I'm not gonna be stopping growing ever now I have the bug it seems so let's learn (and discuss) through all my mishaps and have fun along the way because that's definitely what I'm doing.
You can catch up on my previous trials and tribulations here should you so wish (quite funny/ridiculous in places it has to be said!)
So, being doing a bit of prep and trying to get things lined up. Ordering bits and bobs and getting ready. I have an end of July date to hit for this one for a friends get together in Yosemite so let's get this show on the road!
Setup
This is my current tent (bigger to come (5x5?) after this next grow):
3x3 AC Infinity Adavanced Grow Tent
For pots I'm dropping from 5gal to 3gal for this grow in order to try a few more strains out. Planning on 5, might get a bit busy in there...lol! Or should I really be sticking to 4?
Medium is soil/coco/perlite using the excellent (imo) potforpot grow kits which has done me proud my first two grows. I'm still not confident at all and, if I'm honest, very confused about mixing my own soil with the ratios and then on top of that the nutrient feeding thing (so many different opinions!) I'll get there but not this grow, maybe next?
Water will be purified water from everyone's favourite shop, Target, though may just sack it off and use tap water as more plants this time round will need more water (obvs). Should probably invest in a decent pH pen/kit to be honest. Anyone got any recommendations?
Strains
The exciting part! Have far, far too many seeds (a terrible yet wonderful addiction) but have trimmed (hoho) it down to this currently. All autos again, photos in the future sometime (might do one for the whole outdoor season but we can discuss that later).
1. Speedrun: God Particle (Indica leaning hybrid)
2. Mephisto: Aunt Ginny's Elixir (CBD:THC)
3. NightOwl: Zamadelica Express (Wild Sativa!)
4. Twisted Trees: Lemon OG (50/50 hybrid)
5. Up for grabs currently but thinking maybe one of Mephisto's Pinot Noir, Double Grape, Grizzly Crinkle or Iced n Baked. Leaning to the Pinot Noir (my wife's fav tipple and again intrigues me) at the moment?
As you can see I do like myself a nice hybrid but I've really, really been wanting to try the Zamadelica with it's claimed psychedelic effects...yes pls!
And the CDB:THC Aunt Ginny's is intriguing to me and I've read such good things. CBD helps round the edges off and take the aches and pains away personally whilst not causing any over indulgent THC stress supposedly. A perfect smoke?
Or anyone else have a suggestion or vote for any of them for #5? I'm looking for strains with a strong narcotic like effect. The Zamadelica is the upper (for those old skool trip vibes of yore) so I really want something that will give me an opiod like effect (been there with back problems in the past) and put me on the floor. Am I allowed to say that?
Think that's about it for now. Plan to pop the seeds in the next week and I look forward to growing and learning with and from you all.
All advice, thoughts or OMG don't do that comments more than welcome!
Here's some @'s to some friendly fellows (I'm sure I'm missing some, sorry if I did) who have helped me along the way with this beautiful plant and as we travel onwards together:

My first grow diary of many (hopefully!) :o)
Ok, after some encouragement by @Captspaulding here is my only second ever grow (diary). GG4 and Golden Leaf autos from ILGM, I know, I know but I hadn't read up on genetics then and I had 40% off from apotforpot from my first near disastrous (but huge learning and very enjoyable) mini grow...

Grow #2 - First ever tent attempt (say that after a few)!
Hi Folks,, I'm back again for more and this will be my first tent grow so very excited to learn all about that as we go. It's going to be hilarious I imagine, can we match the 'pool' incident from the first one? I just popped 3 seeds a few days back: Mephisto - Strawberry Mango Crumble (Auto)...
