Bit of a grow diary

[golfnrl]

AccidentalGardener...forgive me if I’ve mentioned this before, but I name every one of my plants. This grow I have Dolly, Reba, Patsy, and Loretta.

[AccidentalGardener]

It's all right. Even if you did mention it, I forgot. Occupational hazard of being an overachieving stoner. My life is a lot of 50 First Dates, lol.

[420Cndee]

Parton, McEntire, Cline and Lynn?? last names respectively?

[Eliot Pryor]

You guys are cracking me up !! You'll name a few then they'll get numbers....

[golfnrl]

@Eliot Pryor...you just know that is going to happen!

In week 8 day 50 now had been struggling since my last post. Thought I was overwatering plant was drooping an looking pretty rough at week 6 it turned out she was underwatered I should have put more perlite in my soil it wasnt allowing water to drain all the way through the soil top half was moist bottom was dry feel like its getting better now and its a lesson learnt the hard way. But buds are bulking nicely and seeing tricomes now. Still loving it.

[growell]

they look good mate

[Driller]

Just a little update getting pretty excited now. Day 64 was worried over the weekend about the leaves turning but was reassured it was just the plant using them up. Smells real nice in here now kind of like creamy coffee with a skunky smell. Breeder says 65 to 70 days for harvest but still have quite alot of white pistils when looking through loupe I think the ratios more on the milky side now but still not many ambers I took a little nug 2 days ago to dry and sample purely for science and to stop me from cutting the whole plant down to early. I cant wait for harvest day to get here.

[growell]

They look good mate nice pink color aswell nice one

[Driller]

Thanks mate yeah I wasnt expecting the pink I thought maybe my lights were too close but think it must be a genetics thing.

[PLreef]

For science!! I just did the same. Lol Your girls are looking nice though.. Patience is hard but I'm holding out....

[PLreef]

I have my 3 outdoor girls. Beautiful bushes ❤. Week 6 or 7 flower. I know they should go longer but the weather in New England has been up and down. Below freezing and dry AF one night the next day its 89° and 87% RH. We have our rough nights and mornings sometimes but it well worth it.. But the colas are gorgeous! I built them a 28'x15' hoop house to store at night.

[Driller]

Hope you can see them through the weather. I do like the idea of an outdoor grow but im in scotland and where I am sunshine is a rare occurance think I would look like a madman running round the back yard looking for a break in the clouds lol. Have you got any pics of your outdoor gals on here?

[PLreef]

I have some older pics on the "time to show your grow" thread. Ill take some new ones tonight.

[growell]

[Driller]

LSD auto ive just ordered a some more seeds today Dr grinspoon, wedding cake, gorrila glue, purple punch, blueberry cheese, tangerine dream, pineapple express. I cant wait to get another grow started but only gonna do 2 for my next so got to make my mind up on which ones to go with.

[growell]

[Driller]

You aint to far away from me then. Seeds came today took me by suprise thought I might have to wait a bit longer than I did. Im harvesting tomorrow found quite a few ambers in bud I dont want it to sedative

[AccidentalGardener]

Omg! I need that strain! LSD!! You're gonna have to keep me filled in on that one!

[growell]

Driller ye mate i got some purple kush from them 5 days they came

[growell]

[420Cndee]

Oh wow those look amazing. Congratulations! I just got some auto LSD cant wait to try them now. 1st I have to try to keep this purple hulk seedling that gave me issues alive and concentrate on the big bud next to her that's already looking like cannabis lol. gonna be a fun 1st grow.

[Driller]

Thanks Sounds like you have a good grow going. Ive harvested mine now keep having to pinch myself when I look at buds drying in my tent dont know why a didnt do it sooner. I sampled a bit I had drying for 5 days it was a little harsh because it wasnt dry enough but man gave me a very nice high cant imagine how good its gonna be after curing

[Driller]

Its been 3 weeks curing with little samples along the way. Sad fact is ive been wasting money on shit weed for ages it seems. BUT NOT ANYMORE couldnt be happier. I dont know what the weight is. But im pleased with what I got for a first grow. Thank you to everyone who gave me advise along the way. Really glad I found this forum and the main site. So thanks again happy safe growing to you all. Il be back with another grow for sure.

[lalaland]

Beautiful grow! Isn’t it crazy we’ve been paying for other growers bonk weed for all these years??

[Driller]

Thanks I wish I had done it sooner.. but im here now.

[JohnEmad]

congrats on your 1st grow of probably many.
It's the only way to grow.

[growell]

nice one driller wasnt long ago we talking about plants dieing underwatering overwatering nice one happy for u whats going down next

[Driller]

I know seems a bit surreal OH mate the watering I really struggled with but this plant was really forgiving thankfully. Next grow is tangerine dream which is more sativa and bluberry cheese which I just like the sound of. both autos I was going to do a photo but I really like the speed of the autos.

[PLreef]

Awesome haul buddy! How's the smell/ taste/ effect?

[Driller]

Hey pal thanks. The smell is unlike any weed ive smelt before. smells like citrus to me with like a herbal flower, when I smoke it then it tastes like really skunky but its so smooth I barely notice its not harsh at all. And the effect took me by suprise really intense body high very tingly makes you smile and if you start laughing good luck stopping no racing thoughts like what I got with weed I was buying and then it slowly mellows just really calming and relaxing. Just awesome really. I saw you got a really good harvest you must be very happy

[PLreef]

That sounds amazingly tasty!
My harvest was awesome and after looking at trikes looks like I'll be harvesting two more autos next week.

[growell]

good job driller glad its good tangerine keep us posted mate
