A Cannabinerd's Journey

Well, after making a bunch of grow logs and such, I decided to create this journal to document my quest into the canna world and keep everything in one place (this journal). Been growing for a long time but still learning everyday. I'm a cannabinerd. I love more than just the flowers of the plant, I probably enjoy growing the plant more so than using the flowers, don't get me wrong.. I also love smoking my reap as well

The list of strains I have in the flower room are as followed:
Karma Genetics: Sour Power Biker
Karma Genetics: 24k White Gold
Cream of the Crop: Purple Paralysis
DNA Genetics: Tangilope
These are 2 weeks into flowering and doing well.

In the veg room I have as followed:
TH Seeds: MK Ultra (a small abused plant making a recovery)
Karma Genetics: Karma's OG (Over watered to all hell)
Nirvana: Aurora Indica (just a baby sprout at the moment)
NYCD x Black Domina
And clones of everything listed in flower.

As you can see, my veg room is always a wreck. I used to be a soil grower for many years, mostly outdoors and not in pots, planted in dug out holes filled with a super soil mix. When I grow a plant in soil or promix that's in a pot, all hell breaks loose. Poor plants... The veg room hates me. So, hopefully I will be converting the veg room slowly over to hydro, which is my niche.

For Flowering I use:
1000w HPS w/ Air-cooled Hood
430cfm exhaust fan
5x5 tent
some fans
Ebb n Grow Bucket System & DWC

For Veg I use:
Cheap 34w 2 bulb t8's
DIY aerocloner
Promix HP (for now)
and a small fan

Well, that's about it. I'll keep the cannaventure updated as I see fit and if you want, you can follow my screw ups and successes all in one spot.

Pics of what's going on at the moment.

Well, last night I ditched the soil and ordered the parts to build a DIY 2x3 flood table. I cut the seedlings I wanted to keep at the base of the stem and am going to try to clone them. I've never cloned a seedling before so I hope they take root.

I put a dehumidifier in the flower room because my RH was way too high at lights off. Now the RH is great but my night time temps are warmer than my day time temps now. Wasn't sure what to think of this as I always kept night time temps at least a few degrees cooler. After reading I found some info that says zero increase between day and night may be best. Warmer night time temps will make the plant stretch MUCH less. Wish I knew this before! My flower plants are looking great since the dehumidifier was added and consequently have stopped stretching like crazy. So all in all I'm happy and will try to maintain the same temps day/night as I would rather have a shorter plant, especially if it's sativa dominant.

Also, I noticed a 4" net pot fits in a party cup, so while seedlings are getting started I can do a manual flood and drain into the party cup. I think this method will work great to start seedlings.

The purple paralysis are going great. I'm going to keep this strain for a while if the Buds are as good. She is going to be a very heavy yielder from what I can tell.

I have a couple new beans going into the veg room. Fruity chronic juice and white snake. The flower room is in full effect now, except for the tangilope. The tangilope started flower on the start of week 3 while the others started around week one. I topped it alot and defoliated quite a bit of foliage and then I lollipopped it as well. So that could be a reason it flowers late. I'll know next run with it if it was stress related. The purple paralysis is going to be one of the heaviest yielding sativas I've ever grown, even at 17 days flower it's got an INSANE amount of bud Sites. I am loving the way she grows. She's starting to put some early frost on as well. Will be getting some method sevens soon so the pics will be clearer I'll be finishing the veg room conversion to hydro this weekend Here's some current flower room set up and pics of the 24k white gold, sour power biker, purple paralysis and tangilope.

Oh and follow me on instagram if ya want @ cannabisnerd

Got some method sevens. Lovin them. Here's some 18 day mini bud shots. Frost is a brewin

Think I found the frostiest plant in the world, very happy. And my karma's og clones rooted so double happy.

Things are going A-OK in the garden. The veg room is almost converted over to hydro. The seedlings are looking great and the flower room is going well. Healthy as an ox. The purple paralysis is so nice and the spb and 24kwg are very frosty too. It looks like the PP is gonna purple, I see a llittle purple here and there so very excited about that. Crazy frost and purple in 25 days of flower? Hells yeah! One thing I am disappointed in is the tangilope. I had a feeling it wouldn't turn out well since it was a crazy mutant as a seedling, but I'll finish running it anyway, it's just pretty dumb plant so far

Nice! I'm tagged

Thanks Yekke! The garden should be getting pretty interesting soon, glad you'll be along for the ride

The gardens getting frosty AF now. Things are going well in flower and the veg room. Everything is converted to hydro now. The white snake seedling started growing wicked fast. The kog clones been beat up pretty good but are starting to make a turn for the better. The tangilope are still stupid though

Kog took well to the hydro transplant. The white snake is loving hydro and doubling in size daily. Aurora Indica is doing great and the fruity chronic
juice is lagging behind but now has a root coming from the net pot so I think it will be okay. The mk ultra is doing much better and trained early to become a mother plant quickly. The paralysis clones are being pumped out so fast it's mind boggling. 4 day roots now in the cloner, it's a miracle plant I swear. The flower room is Killin it. Much love to all you cannabinerds. Enjoy the holiday and wish yall a great and prosperous new year.
Merry Christmas, happy Chanukah or holiday RIU.

Flower room, purple paralysis killing it like a boss. This plant will be the bitch to many pollin runs in the future. She holds many desired traits and I can say will run with the most a+ top shelf strains out. I'll have her tested for std at harvest. I mean thc and cbd lol

Some current bud shots.
1 - purple paralysis
2- 24kwg
3-spb
4- Tangilope (which will not be run again)

And some updates of the seedlings.

Transferred everything to the flood table today. Very pleased with it! Now I have a single table that can hold 8 mother plants and is very low maintenance

The purple paralysis is blowing up, I swear it'll give at least 8 Oz of popcorn bud alone and at least an lb for tops, very happy with this beast! Could I break a gpw? We will see the spb and 24kwg are also frost machines, believe it or not, the tangilope actually is covered in frost also but the Buds are so small, I don't know if I'll have time to let it finish though, looks like it'll be a 12wk min flower time.. Something funky about the mutant tangilope.

Forgot to mention, I added a net to the flower room for support
Entering week 6 tonight, seeing a few red hairs here and there, 5 weeks to go

Nom nom .. Buds are looking killer. Veg room is giving me problems, I think I'm under feeding again lol. Upped the nutes a lot today to .9 ec and will check for improvement. Slowwwwwww growth on the newbies plants, meh

Happy new year yall.

Will be lowering ec levels in the flower room starting Sunday. Currently at 1.2ec and will walk it down to 1.0ec by the end of week 8. Things are fattening up

2/2 extrema fem beans have sprouted. I added dm zone to the flood table res. Hope it clears up the system and the plants in it recover. Here's some flower room shots, today is day 41 of flower, 4 weeks or so left!!

Well, the good news is the veg room is back in working condition, all problems resolved! And the flower room is jamming out, buds swelling like crazy, terps for days, crystals all over, just some DANK funk
