My Last Dance

[MickFoster]

"so ummm whatcha doing with all them seeds in that drawer over there hmm?"

I popped the last seed in my stash.........sorry.

MF (!) How much runoff do you want each day?

I don't measure it.........I currently give each 1 liter pot one cup of nutrient solution per day.........the run off is substantial.

 

[MickFoster]

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement.

 

[MickFoster]

Always enjoyed your inputs. Will tag along for sure.

But I can almost guarantee you’ll pop another bean.

This growing habit dies hard

Thanks.........you're probably right. Lol.

 

[MickFoster]

How the hell old are you Mick?

I'm 71.
This is my first grow in 2 years because I had so much stash.........it seems harder than it used to be. Lol.

You're not fooling anyone. I found you on youtube. You'd rather be behind a boat than watering plants. I don't blame you.

I hear ya there. I'm turning 90% of what I grow into medicines for a growing list of needy friends so cutting way back on the dreaded trimming jail time. Just bought a new still to recover most of my solvents and make EverClear so will be soaking fresh frozen bud etc in naphtha and saving huge amounts of time while getting a cleaner product than with alcohol extractions. Also just getting into making fem seeds so can't quit yet.

Fishing sux here and a man needs a hobby.

Getting ready for transplant next week by preparing my 9 liter airpots.
I cover the holes with pantyhose to prevent fungus gnats.........xl queen size - nude. The were out of black...lol.
I run some string around the top with small zip ties attached so I have something to tie down my branches when I lst.
The string around the bottom row is just to secure the pantyhose.

Update: (in case anyone is interested)

14 days from sprout........all look healthy.
Fed daily to run off.
I will probably transplant tomorrow.

 

[lusidghost]

You're a good dude and it's sad to see anyone hang up their... Wait, normally we hang things. It's sad to see anyone unhang their grow. But, it's pretty clever to have your granddaughter doing the work for you instead. ha.

 

[MickFoster]

Update: (if anyone is interested)

I transplanted yesterday from the 1 ltr. airpots to the 9.2 ltr. airpots.
I forgot what a pain in the ass it was to transplant using airpots........makes retiring a little easier.......lol.
I started 8 seeds in case some didn't germinate, or I got a mutant.
Lol........they all sprouted, and they all look good.........so I'll grow the other 3 out using the 1 ltr. airpots.........should be interesting.

15 days from sprout.

I like the cut of your jib Mick. Here are my current girls, couple weeks ahead of you and topped twice. Just posting because your setup reminded me of mine lol. Looking forward to the rest of your grow.

Update: (for anyone interested)

21 days from sprout.
I plan on topping them in the next couple of days.
Feeding 1/2 tsp. of MaxiBloom and .5 ml of Armor Si twice a day to run off.
I had a slowpoke, so I transplanted one of the larger plants in the 1 ltr. to the larger pot.
So now I only have 2 left in the small pots.........not sure how long they can last.
I know I can keep them healthy by feeding regularly.........but keeping them from tipping over when they get larger will be a challenge.

Use a scrog net. Not for weaving, but just for support, or do you move your plants a lot?

 

[mudballs]

They're too pretty and flawless, scuff em up a bit so they look like what im used to...tear some leaves, poke some holes in em. I feel emasculated looking at ur plants

I know right. Who grows perfect plants anyways? Jeez. Lol

I have done a scrog before..........but I like being able to move them around.
Thanks.

Yea I get it. Scrogs are great, but once your plants are in place, that's where they stay till harvest.

Nice looking plants. They sure grow fast and healthy in coco when you know what you're doing and just keep it simple. That MaxiBloom sure keeps them happy. And the simplicity of a 1 part nutrient can't be understated. The results speak for themselves.

I like the way you raise up those 2 plants to keep them level with the others. I've done similar.
