Today I moved the tall girl into the tent that my free seeds are flowering in. It's plenty strong now and it will stretch quite a bit more when first flowering, so let's get her 8 colas started now. But I did notice a few crickets moving around my veg tent with my good plants in it. At the very...

They're doing well now. Starting to grow 8 nice stalks a piece now. That Sativa is definitely 100%. It's just stretching like crazy. I've got plenty of headroom for it I think. Nothing much to say, but just keep pumping em with food now. I was away for the weekend and they got a bit thirsty with...

Here we are. I now have 8 nodes on each plant. These are just 2 of them, the oldest and the youngest. The oldest I let grow straight up, the youngest I tied down on the last trim. The same with the other 3. Here you can see the stalks tied down and 8 new growths popping straight up. Now the...

https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets this is actually the method I'm using and the easiest. I have plenty of height so I don't bother tying the stems down or training at all. I may start when they get a bit bigger but we'll see.

Mainlining is super easy. There is very little training to do to the plants and once you have made the last cuts to make 8 colas and get rid of the extra leaves and growth sites, that's it, you're done. It barely adds any extra veg time to the grow allowing a standard 16 week seed to harvest...

All of them have now been cut down to the 3rd node and have grown 2 very nice and healthy identical stalks to replace them. The free seeds I put in the other tent and put on 12/12 immediately since they aren't feminized, I'm just going to hammer those out since I have so many. Those will have 2...

The bottom pic is the Papaya plant that is about a week ahead of the others, that's why it's bushier. I let them grow up to the 5th node then cut just above the 3rd, making sure not to cut the 2 small shoots coming out of the stem above the leaves. These are now the new main stems. I will let...

Day 11 since the seed popped out and shed the seed shell. This is one of the two Papaya that actually germinated and seems to be healthy so far. It's been on 1/4 strength nutes since day one and had its first 1/2 strength shot today. The next one will be full strength. It's staying nice and low...

I got myself some new coco bricks so I can fill up the 7 gallon pots when I'm ready. I found some 2.25 cu ft. bricks for $3.50 so I bought 10 of those to keep me going for a while. For perlite all they had anywhere was damn Miracle-Gro so I was forced to buy some of that. What I did was dump a...

Alright so it's been a little while but that's how this phase goes anyways. There's been a few set backs I wasn't too impressed with. First and foremost being the germination rate of the seeds. Of the 5 seeds the vender sent me, only 2 popped. When I sent them an email, they stated that they do...

I also have a grow journal going on right now for my high power stuff to treat my migraines. I've had severe migraines in my frontal lobe 24/7, 7 days a week for the past year, and cannabis is the only thing that brings it from a 9 to a 7. High strength medication does nothing. Thank you for the...

I chopped the 2 plants that I finished inside today. For a couple of extra plants that I put no care into the first 3/4 of their lives, they did ok. I ended up with 405g of wet trimmed bud. I had them in those small pots just sitting in my backyard just getting rain and no nutes. The spot they...

Ok, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks. I used them years ago as my first real grow so it was kind of a reminiscent sort of thing. Hopefully it works ok. I only have 5 seeds anyway then I switch to White Widow/Big Bud cross.

As soon as the plants let me. First top at 5 nodes. Then top the 4 tops at 4 nodes down to 3.

I was a young kid playing hockey and would recieve a lot of concussions between the ages of 7 to 15. Around the age of 10 I also began to grow a completely unrelated brain tumor that wouldn't be discovered until age 20. When it was removed along with the concussions at such a young age, the...
