2026 couldn't decide what to grow, grow

[Ckbrew]

2026 couldn't decide what to grow, grow- granddaddy purple, godfather og, alien cookies-kush mints, blackberry moonstones, RP-1O4, CBD purple auto
(because all this exceeded the title maximum characters).


I really had difficulty deciding on what to grow this year so I chose a bunch of different strains. All from NASC except for the homemade RP-1O4 from 2022 season. The purple autos were just dropped 2 days ago so still waiting on them to pop. Indecisions, indecisions, what have I gotten myself into???

seedlings in solo cups


In the 3 gallon pots except for the plants that will go out into the world with someone else's care, and the autos yet to pop.

Hey, Ck..
I peruse some seed banks, look at what seeds I have, purchased and home made. Choose photos for the summer garden and autos for the winter greenhouse. Thay all produce good pot! I don't worry about it. Enjoy your new plants!

Day 19 veg

All were topped above node 4 to make 8 main branches and binding rings were added.

[ductwizard2]

I'm curious, why the binder rings?

[Ckbrew]

When the 8 branches grow out they will be wired to the ring to keep them spread them out.

That's not a hobby, that's a garden!!!

Day 22 veg

Everyone is happy except for one blackberry moonstone plant. Seeing how all the other plants are happy and in the same conditions it must be an issue with the individual plant. Perhaps the roots did not develop well after transplanting to the 3 gallon pots. It looks over watered and under fed. Any other suggestions?

[golfnrl]

That is some good looking weed. I think you have nailed the cause for the struggling plant, other than what you have suggested I don't want to guess.

[Ckbrew]

I decided to add some aloe leaf juice to the nutes and see if that simulates root growth. If that doesn't work I will replace it or ban it to the outdoors to survive

[golfnrl]

I love it...gotta give that plant a chance! Cause that's what pharmers do!

Day 24 veg

Breaking up is hard to do and a lot of work. Also the bondage has started.




I am not sure that runt blackberry moonstone is going to make it.

Day 26 veg

Training is well underway. All the primary fan leaves have been trimmed, and most of the branches are tied down. I put down the blackberry moonstones plant that was not doing well. It was starving to death just like some clones I had 5 years ago that had their roots damaged. I gave it a gentle tug and it just popped out with no effort. I'm guessing the tap root was damaged during transplant.




the failed blackberry moonstones plant. It almost looks like it was growing new roots like a clone. It took to long to shape up.

Day 28 veg

Introducing the SEMI-AUTO POT SYSTEM. Why, because I could, and an attempt to make my life a little easier and save my back. Each pot is in a 12 qt tub, nute solution is added to the tub and will wick water up. Easier to water, eliminated the need to vacuum the runoff because there is no runoff. The tubs dry out once a day so no algae growth problem. The reason an actual auto pot system was not used is the same reason I did not proceed with DWC, to hot for a res. Either room AC or some type of chilling system would need to be used. I experimented with this method last year in the clone grow and it worked well so I decided to deploy it to all the plants.
