New grow, New place. Time flies! Been 8 years since my last post here. I spent hours and hours reading and learning, asking questions. I've came across massive grows, and yet have to do any myself lol. Let's see if I can get pictures up easier than last time!

This year will be extremely small but should be fun nonetheless. I have 2 female seeds i bought from a shop, sugarcane just and Koda lush. And then some non-sexed seeds given to me from a buddy. Nowadays I could care less about a name. Im not old, but when I grew you didn't have 30 million fucking names for strains lol.

Will be keeping it simple, will be doing probably 4 plants in 45g smart pots. I know, the lot sizes hurt me too, but I recently bought a mobile and I live in a park. I dont think I'm allowed to grow but everyone does it lol. Honestly not concerned as I will be training them. Soil, I like roots organic but since ill be growing for fun I didnt wanna shell that kinda cash out. So I'm going with original fox farm, some mykko wsp, and when its time some nitro bat. I may consider hydrolyzed fish later down the road. And for flower, some some high P K bat guano.

Welp, glad to be back! Hopefully I'll see some old users!!!

Hey guys!!!! Not much new going on. My seedlings have a lighter color to them than I'm used to, but I've never fed so early. Thoughts? And its only the larger 2 not the seedlings. I have some nitro bat. Nothing was added to the ff when I put them in their current pots. Cheers!!!

Oh and the 2 large ones were fimmed.

Alright all! So I was gone about a month. Everything was on soaker hose with a timer of 35 minutes every other day. My gf did check on them, hand watered once and sprinkled guano.

The seeds are being moved to her place. I bought her 2, 1 of them her dog ate, the other isn't doing so great. Plus my seeds are still in a cup.

As for my main girl, I just transferred her into a 45g. I know super small and super bummed but I dont want to over do it. I used ff sprinkled about 3 full sized solo cups of guano in there and some myco powder on the roots. I made sure she didn't get water for about 3 days to make sure she was nice and dried out. Had some good root growth.

Not much new going on. Good growth going on! Topped the girl with a solo cup full of bat nitro and watered in. Will be seeing the progress and top again once there's a good 4-5 inches of growth from previous topping! Any questions please ask! Not much action on here and would love to see some!View attachment 5156165View attachment 5156166
Looks like things are getting ready to start taking off for you. Congrats on getting back to growing. I like to use dry amendments since they make everything simple for me. I just have to count tablespoons and add water. Mixing all the individual organic nutes is something I'd like to work towards down the road though. Good luck with your grow and I'll follow along if you don't mind.

Thanks for following!!!! This year will be my first simple grow. My first was my best with everything mixed in the soil. This year will be ff, some cheap myko, nitro bat, and fish emulsion. Haven't done the fish yet. I wanted to do the hydrolyzed fish but man its gotten expensive. During flower I plan on high pk guano and blackstrap and probably another something simple. My first year everything was mixed in soil. This year, KISS baby!!! and again, thanks for joining fellow human!

Update. Girl is doing really well. Had an issue with aphids or something a week ago. Did soap solution. I over did it with the dawn because im an idiot. I also read that its not suggested, but more of an organic soap is better. I sprayed again the following day and then the next day noticed burned leaves. But since then it seems as if my bug problem is gone. Now I give the plant a spray above and below foliar and give it a good shake! Was going to lst since a friend suggested it. After looking at my location I realized this would be a bad idea as they barely get light now and will be worse as the season progresses. To I did lst 2 branches and moved two top branches back a hair!20220805_184545.jpg20220805_184531.jpg20220805_184526.jpg20220805_184521.jpg20220805_184545.jpg20220805_184531.jpg20220805_184526.jpg20220805_184521.jpg20220805_184513.jpg20220805_184147.jpg20220805_184142.jpg20220805_184134.jpg20220805_184112.jpg20220805_184104.jpg

What are you planning on doing for support for it? Are you going to cage it at some point or just put a bunch of stakes in and tie up to them. We've had such bad storms here where I live I have several friends that have had plants damaged by the rain and wind already this year. It gets pretty windy around here.

I don’t know why people use dawn, the greasecutters must destroy the leaf oils. Ivory i could see or commercial soap like safers. I’m guessing those dark pots got cooked but the 45 g should finish ok without anymore detergent.

Most likely what I will do, is get 5 foot sticks, most likely some kind of Reed or even a wooden dowel and tie green garden tape around a handful of times. I've done that a few years and never had any issues

Haha yeah, I learned my lesson! Although I did hit it again on Friday and checked yesterday with no ill effects. Trying to make sure it's 100% co trolled before flowering. And yup, they are cooked marks on the burned leaves.

I like to use a three in one product outdoors that has something for bugs and stuff like powdery mildew and leaf spot septoria. It stinks like sulphur and I wouldn't ever use it on buds, but during veg it was great. The stuff I used was by Safersoap. I figured it covered all the bases as a preventative before they started flower.

Might do one more dawn spray. No burns after the last 2 hits. Girl is doing great! Mind you this is only a 45 gallon and my daylight sucks! I have a huge cottonwood on the Southside then my place on the west so sun is limited. Overall super happy thus far. There's probably a good 15-20 tops. Everything I've used has been 3 doses mycco, bat guano and 1 feeding of fish emulsion which I wouldn't count. For budding it will be a different guano and molasses. Pretty much 4 things for the whole year. Will be sticking to this process from now on!20220812_181239.jpg20220812_181244.jpg20220812_181239.jpg20220812_181244.jpg20220812_181304.jpg20220812_181312.jpg20220812_181533.jpg20220812_181716.jpg20220812_181902.jpg
