Dark Harvest GROW CHALLENGE!

[Chefbjy]

DankwingDuck she sure can be. Idk if you saw the pics one of my veganic friends sent me. But I'll show you his white widow...he's trying to get me to go coco like Campesino is tempting me to do. He uses Vegamatrix, the new nute line I will be using for this challenge thanks for reminding me to get in touch with him 😉

[Chefbjy]

Even some of the fan leaves are super frosty I'm so jelly 😆

[DankwingDuck]

I convinced my friend to convert from soil to coco and a 2 site dwc . He hasn’t done it yet as he has about 45 plants or so still in veg but he has started the newest clones on coco and the rdwc will be up and running very soon.

[DankwingDuck]

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m hopping for. Just caked in trics. Very jealous . We will see how it goes . This is my first dwc grow so I’m not expecting anything tbh . If I don’t kill them before harvest I’ll be happy .

[oldjarhead100]

WTF its not looking good time wise for me I cant seem to get the tuts to bloom checked for light leaks ,I even fixed spots that were not a problem lol well I couldn't find any leaks ,next thing is to check when lights go on maybe something is going on early just cant figure this out

So I just went on to Seedsman to check out what it says Mostly Stavia flowers in 60 days ,I think someone made a mistake lol

[Californiakid]

Campesino, I think you're right. I'm putting the coffee down. Hahaha
Have a great day.

[farmerjim]

now that was funny thanks for brightening my day lol. So I posted on my thread I found an led that was going on around 6 pm for an hour, I wonder if I have to reset the clock or they just pop and go on from there ,heading out to water again today the heat is supposed to break Friday and all will be right in the growing world

[oldjarhead100]

outside girls are doing great I do have to go out and cut some saplings to get a little more light in the morning .
Now if I can finally figure the bloom room out and finish this grow they had been in the first 3 weeks of bloom for 8 weeks lol I'll have to do another defoliate

[Californiakid]

Seedsman website is having issues processing orders...
website is running slow too.

[Californiakid]

Yes thats what I was thinking, heavy traffic.

[Californiakid]

Order confirmed. Both strains and a Lsd25 for later.
Off to install an air conditioner.

Oh yea, I'll take my place on the confirmed list please. Woo hoo

[Chefbjy]

Coming up pretty quick. 😃

[Californiakid]

My last order was here in under 10 days. Before that was under 2 weeks. So hopefully all works out.

[Tika]

I think a lot of seed companies were having holiday sales as well.

[freddyyola]

ima order the seeds asap since im in need of some anyways.. but i prob wont actually order them until closer to deadline since btc fluctuate so much i think it could double by the time i need to order lol.. thats what i think and i dont need to hear oh thats a bad idea or any of that mess..

[oldjarhead100]

how about good luck, as long as you can buy it with a card I had to switch to a bank transfer and that takes about 2 weeks to clear

[DankwingDuck]

I had to do bank transfer too . It clears today and I’ll order when I get home .

[oldjarhead100]

HAHA I took my challenge seeds out and gazed at them for awhile told them not long now .

[Tika]

oldjarhead100 ha! ...doing a voodoo thing are ya? I appreciate the anticipation and excitement.
Eager for you all to hit the GO button...we’ll probably have a nation wide earthquake😎❤️😎

Seeds came in yesterday morning! I got the breeders pack on gc but not the rest?! Lol I paid for breeder packs!!! An i wanted it for the gth! Anyways ready to get these seeds going!!!! First time I've ordered seeds on line! Excited to get this going!

[oldjarhead100]

thats what I get to chefbjy I dont ask for them but I usually get the breeder packaging

[freddyyola]

what is breeder packaging?

[Californiakid]

freddyyola
Breeder packaging, is the original packaging that the breeder put their seeds in. Sometimes the seedbanks will remove the seeds and put them in baggies to facilitate hiding them better. But I think they get mixed up that way.

[Californiakid]

If you haven't ordered yet the window is getting smaller...

[oldjarhead100]

old jar head
4 plants of each strain will start 5 seeds and keep the best 4

my grow space is in the cellar I have a 8'by5' tent that I split into 2 sides it has 12 54 watt t5s on one side in 2 fixtures and 300w leds on the other then I built a room last summer its 6'by 12'I have a 1000w hps on a light mover rail, on the side walls I have 100w led light bars I also have 2 of those kind led bars for bloom hanging on the hps light

I start my seeds up stairs I place them in a paper towel soak the towel until runoff put it on a plastic cover and slide it on top of my cable box, then they go under a t5 2 bulb 2 foot fixture until roots show though the root riot cube ,once the roots show I will plant them in one gallon cloth grow bags in roots organic original formula ,at this time I also give them voodoo juice to expand the roots, when roots show though the bottom of the bag I plant them in there forever home 7 gallon heavy duty vivosun bags filled with coco .I also install air injector fixtures to suppy o2 to the roots

I grow in coco with air injection system in the coco
I use vivosun heavy duty 7 gallon bags that actually hold 7 gallons of coco

I use AGE OLD ORGANICS line of nutrients with the following extras voodoo juice I swear by this stuff, humbolts county own deep breath use in veg and G10 in bloom I also use calimajic , molasses and silica
My feed schedule will be daily with different supplements each day like Molasses On Monday ,tea on Tuesdays, Wednesday is kelp,fish and seaweed ,Thursday Calimajic ,Friday is folier essence Saturday is a different tea if any and Sunday is silica

I have been growing indoors since 2014 and outside off and on for years when I set up my tent I started a ton of bag seed then I had a bunch of nutrients from the Boston grow show in 2014 divided the plants up and tested them all I liked the results of age old the best so thats who I went with, at this time I have to say one of the plants was a Sativa couldn't get it to bloom for ever after a couple of months I was ready to toss it and then shasamm it popped ,well the yield on that plant was incredible so when I saw what the possibility's were I was hooked , My bloom light has not been off in ages lol, I still grow outside as well

I am native so I try and be one with the earth, meaning a very small footprint I have been growing veggies for years and just kinda flowed into growing weed ,I retired in 2008 from the transit system in Boston mostly because I had constant pain in my legs couldn't climb up into trains very well and it was time, when I retired I went to a pain clinic,they put me on Morphine and oxcycodone .it worked for a little while but the dose kept going up and up ,well when I retired a friend gave me a joint (couldn't smoke when I worked for the T random drug tests) so I knew it worked to stop the pain ,I finally gave up on the opiods and switched to herb ,granted I smoke a ton of weed but it gets me though the day. My experiences with the T gave me a background in electronics,pneumatic s,hydraulics,hvac,attention to detail my attitude these days is if I can take it apart I can fix it lol

My grow philosophy is that its my job to give the plants the very best opportunity to be the best they can.

I grow cannabis because of pain .After I relized how much work it was, I could see someone using pesticides , or anything else that might save a dime

I'm looking forward to the challenge because imagine what we can learn from each other ,what works ,what doesn't work stuff like that I don't view it as a competition, I look at it like a learning grow

Hows this Campesino

[oldjarhead100]

the GC is some fine looking bud cant wait to try it

[Trichomefarmer88]

Yes they do! These are just pics from the leafy app... I like using it to identify new smoke or plants..

[farmerjim]

Some more gc...

trying to get someone on IG who is currently flushing dgth to come and share his thoughts on growing the strain...

[oldjarhead100]

farmerjim are you going to the freedom rally in Boston I was supposed to go to Stevestock yesterday but was in pain when I got up at 430 then add a 2 hour drive on that and I would of been a miserable prick for the day no matter how much I smoked .
I could take the train in to Boston so that would help let me know maybe we could hook up

[farmerjim]

Pretty sure i will be. check out the commonwealth cannabis cup link in my profile! They're starting up a homegrow competition ! I dont have the required 28g for entry from my first but my buddy has 3 strains he might enter... if I get enough harvested from my current grow in time then I may join him (2 strains allowed per entry)
