SOIL First Grow

[Peebz]

D.A.A.S.69 thanks buddy. I'm very nervous about the coming week. My dry space is new and untested. It's holding around 60rh but temp is cold, 10°C. IV kept them on fairly large bits of stem for the most part.

Hopefully I can get them to the jars with out issue.

Hope you got the freezers stocked again!

@Peebz
Good Job, very nice looking smoke you got there.

Got the third plant chopped down tonight and pulled 215g from it. Not quite the Oz per plant average I was going for but I'll take it.

Had the other 2 plants in the dry tent last 3 days, seems to be working well. Sits at a steady 58-60Rh. Would like it a bit warmer as it's a bit cold, sitting around 9°c. But if it takes a bit longer so be it. Got a heat mat in there but doesn't make much difference.

I also pulled the straps a bit tighter on my LSD to keep her growing wider and open her up some more. There are 4 shoots that I can only let grow upwards so I pulled the shoot from all of them to let the lower system catch up a bit. I also chopped all the tiny bud sites low down bellow the straps

Peebz looking very nice, ole buddy. Very healthy looking.
PS, yeah we got the freezers filled up again, all except one, and it will be filled by the end of the month.
You caught on to growing, very quickly. Keep up the great job.
Nothing like smoking your own meds.

D.A.A.S.69 thanks for all your help. Glad you got the freezers stocked, I love some wild meat for the BBQ.

Can't wait to sample my own bud and see what the end product is like. Some one has a saying "it's all bullshit till you smoke it". Cut and trimmed a couple buds to dry faster.

 

[Peebz]

I had a tester bud drying from last week as I wanted to practice the curing so I don't wreck my harvest.

Just as well cause I had it in the mason jar and didn't burp it long enough and it went mouldy yesterday. It's no loss as it was picked from low down and smelled if cut grass but now I will have my jars on 24 hour timers to check and burp regular enough

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Nothing like fresh venison tenderloins -backstraps.
Peebz you need to read up on drying in big brown grocery bags, it's the only way, imo.
Very easy to do ,they come out perfect. Lots better than hanging ,imo.
But everyone has got there own way of doing things, lol
Great job with your crops, you can't go wrong by following Nebulas and Sirius advice.on how to grow.

 

[PaganRich]

Going well mate and good yields considering all the factors you were up against so I`d be very chilled on that and next run will be even better. Looking forward to seeing how the LSD goes

 

[Peebz]

In to check on my LSD and harvest tonight.

Decided to scrog the LSD to give me better anchor points to spread her out .looking much better all ready. Also cut most of the lower bud sites off, nothing to drastic as Ill do more after she finished stretching.my tent is 800x800 so really happy Iv almost managed to fill the space my first time training

Harvest tent is nice and happy., Put my small dehumidifier in the tent as humidity had crept up to 70% but all good now and 60%.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Peebz absolutely stunning, my overseas brother, You got it down pat, keep up the awesome job.
Strong stalks, big buds, coming your way, at harvest time !!

 

[Peebz]

D.A.A.S.69 thanks as always for the kind words of encouragement. 2nd week into flower and I'm super happy she got all the room she needs.

Really cold across here right now and struggling to keep my temps above 17°c.

Got my next trip to Amsterdam booked so now IV to work out how I'm going to work that and not come home to a disaster. Can't wait to sample some top class weed though.

 

[PaganRich]

That`s a nice setup you`ve got going there Peebz and LSD will love that. Gonna be fun to watch this run, mate. Looking good

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Peebz my money says, your weed will be just as good, if not better,
Have a nice trip.

 

[Peebz]

So I have one jar finished up cured after 15 days and it's come out the jar at 1.15oz, this was roughly one plant. I have a further 2 and half jars still curing. So really hoping for my 1oz a plant average after 1st cure.
​​​​​​
Unfortunately I have cocked up the cure imo and they have dried to fast. The jar I have is a bit crispy and crumbly for my liking. The jars I have curing at the moment I can hopefully do better with. I know where I went wrong, just getting used to the temps in my house for it.

Iv added a couple photos of what I got so far and a couple of nice looking buds out the jar. One of my plants must of caught some cold air whilst growing as it has got a real deep purple tinge in the buds which looks super awesome. The smell has come out nicely after the cure though. Barney's auto desiel certainly smells like desiel, terpy, berry, chemically smell. Really awesome

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Peebz great job for your first go around, from here on in it only gets easier and better,the growing is the easy part.
Proper drying and curing ,is where it's at.
But I know you will catch on quickly, mate.
Nice looking nugs, great job, I'm proud of you !!
Cheers.

 

[PaganRich]

Peebz Yeah, they`re nice mate and a great start. I`d be well chuffed if I was you

 

[Peebz]

Thanks muchly guys! Learned so much in my first few months thanks to you guys, GWE, Nebula and the best education the modern day can ask for...
Youtube 😂

Yeh super happy with my first attempt, it smokes and tastes really good compared to the shit on the street so it's all good. Not very dence bud but to pull 3oz of smokable dank I'm chuffed with that. Hopefully pull close to the same from the single trained plant I have now.

Now to get this organic grow started next month with a new strain inspired by my trip to Amsterdam.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Peebz, your gonna love the living soil grow ,I promise you
Super easy just water an molasses ,just make sure you got your soil right, and ready, if you see red wigglers. In it its ready, Just keep stirring it up real good. You soil will even smell sweet. Rich as 2foot up a hogs ass ,very fertile. Lol
GoodLuck
HappyGrowing, Mate

I would say all my jars are done with first cure. 12 days in drying tent and almost a week in the jars. So I took my final weights of everything,

5.6OZ and 1.1OZ of trim.

Now I would class ALL my bud as Larfy as it wasn't good enough for dence bud so I trimmed and jarred pretty much everything I took off the plants.

Smell and taste have developed in the jars and the faint cut grass smell is gone. All jars now sitting at 55% ready for storage and of course, smokage!!!!

Couple photo's of my LSD, she been suffering with the cold the last couple days. Dropping to 15°c in my room. But apart from that she looking good. Nice buds starting to form and lots of pistils.
