Grow 10 - The People's Journal

[Farmall]

101% agreed ! Have followed the same footprint and it has paid off. Just finished 1 steady month of harvesting with 96 quart jars in the final analysis.

Thanks Farmall! I appreciate the kind words!

Marijuana is definitely a passion of mine, so when I found out I could grow it way cheaper than I was buying it, I did dive right in.

My best piece of advice is do your research. I scoured so many articles on this site and others before I even got my first seed in the ground.

I'm so glad I found this website because it led me to where I am today! I also like the fact that I have documented all my grows on here so I can go back from time to time and see how far I've come.

Keep growing, keep learning!

SoOrbudgal - Thank you! As much as I'm hoping for another monster grow, I know that all the Trainwreck's I've grown in the past have yielded little compared to other strains I have grown (Even quadlined!). I'm not sure how the Red Poison will do quadlined, but I'm expecting similar results as the Trainwreck.

So I guess I have all my money on the Alaskan Purple (not much of a gambling man. I work at a casino 😂).

Here's to hoping though!

JohnEmad - that's quite the comical name 😂 too bad I cant change my username lol.

I just made the popcorn, i just need your address so i can ship it to ya 😁

Welcome to the People's Journal lol

FunkyButtLovin - ahh, i remember it like it was...10 days ago lol. Any time I have ordered from them in the past, the tracking number shortly follows the order (within a day or 2). I see they did things differently this year by shipping a large order to the US rather than individual ones. So I suppose that was the hold up on the tracking.

Again, not upset at seedsman, I love their selection!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words about my grows, and I also am surprised by what i pull from the little tent with the little lights lol.

Gorilla Glue was from Fastbuds, but i always throw out the disclaimer that i think that was just a freak seed and i hit the lotto so to speak. If you read through that grow, the Gorilla Glue that was single mainlined ended up getting pulled because of how funky it was growing. But still, I was super impressed lol.

I havent really heard a bad thing about QBs, but I've never intently researched them. Once I got the COBs going I havent looked at lights since.

From what I remember reading about COBs, they are more efficient in terms of getting the most light possible to the plants (more efficient than the standard HPS grow lights). This is why they are able to produce well with such little energy.

I'm glad I started this grow too lol. I may smoke all my stuff before this one is ready 😂

I'll bet your seeds are on their way. I almost never receive shipping updates from them on time. I usually get my order the day before to day after they tell me they are shipped. When I get the shipped notification that means the package has made it through customs, reached a middle man in the USA, packages split up, repacked and have been mailed out from there.

Anyhow, I'm glad your seeds came in and even happier that grow 10 is already underway. I'm always really amazed by what you pull from a 3x3 and ~200 watts. I was thinking about going to QBs over this next year but I'm starting to wonder if I should maybe do COBs instead. I also wanted to ask what breeder the huge Gorilla Glue from Grow #6 came from?

[SoOrbudgal]

Grow big and fruitful little gals.

I myself have been active for 20 months and learned more than 6 years in formal education. I guess it shows when you apply yourself in something you feel strongly about and enjoy, you do great stuff. Unfortunately, it took me 60+ yrs to find something I really enjoyed. AND, I enjoy your grows....subbed!!

Have to nickname you mcquad. Along for the grow. Pass the popcorn pls.

Today is day 10 for the girls. Well, 2 of them anyway. The alaskan purple did not want to sprout, so I checked it out and the seed had what appeared to be fuzz on it (like mold or something). I'm guessing the rapid rooter was far more damp than the other 2, so I probably drowned it. I haven't had a seed not sprout since my first grow, so I'm not doing too bad with seedling success rate lol.

So I switched the seed out with the other Alaskan Purple seed I had about 3 days in, so it's day 7 for that one.

So far so good.

Also, I finally received my seeds from seedsman! If I would have known it would have only been another week I would have waited to start my grow, but they didn't post the tracking number until it was already in the US.

I'm not sure which of the 2 bigger ones is which. I had a trainwreck seed and red poison seed in the same container, so I'll have to wait until they start budding to figure out which one is which.

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks SoOrbudgal! I appreciate the kind words! I've only been growing for 2 and a half years now, but I sure have learned a lot!

[SoOrbudgal]

Carry on i'm always watching and learning with you and your grows.

[Doubledealing72]

I decided for my 10th journal that I would take a poll to see what 3 strains I would grow. Give the people what they want! Here's the strains the voters chose:

Alaskan Purple auto by Seedsman
Red Poison by Sweet Seeds
Sweet Trainwreck by Sweet Seeds

Equipment/nutes
4 55w autocobs
3*3*6 tent
Megacrop
Sweet Candy
Bud Explosion
Calmag
Silica Blast

I will be quadlining all of these like normal, with defoliation as well.

Excited to see this one at the end!
