Grandma perpetually grown Meds

[furrysparkle]

Hello everyone! I’m back, and I’m helping my grandma grow her meds.

I’m using coco coir and perlite in fabric 3 gallon pots. Veg light: 100w LED
Flower light: BESTVA 390w 677umol/s (estimated from PPFD map)LED
Dyna gro/ dyna Bloom +PK boosters+ Mammoth P

I’m growing 5 Bluewreck seeds, blueberry x trainwreck by SeedsBankseeds(a local NM breeder that does FB giveaways)
Also 10 AC/DC x Otto 2 hemp, by organic green roots(a Oregon Hemp farmer that used to sell very seedy and industrial hemp that I scoured a few hundreds seeds from)
until flower and they’ll be reduced to 2 of each.

They will be manifold trained with 10 lines instead of eight. Half will be super cropped to estimate the impact of that technique side by side

hey Furrysparkle nice job it looks like you figured it out I usually split my root riots then lay seed with tail in it, also your riots could use a couple of teaspoons of water when they start looking light brown I water mine good luck

I wish my grandparents were so open to cannabis...

 

[furrysparkle]

It took a long time and a drastic amount of convincing to make it happen, and my grandfather said if I have been doing this with her even 5 years ago he would have shot me.

There are two hidden photos you have to click to, they are the plugs in a seedling tray with the tails in and the seed hanging just out the top

 

[oldjarhead100]

I saw them it looked like you had to dig them out a little to get seed in them just sharing how I do it , I just used some cloth bags to start 10 seeds in and lost 7 so I'm back to root riots I've always used them with a few adjustments lol

hey wait I'm a grand parent lol

 

[furrysparkle]

Hello hello! Day 3 and they’ve outgrown their tray already and I have transplanted them into solo cups of coco coir hydrated with 6.0 ph water with a cal mag sup.
Currently under two 9.5w LED lights until we get the shed temp under control.

photos will get more detailed and focused on each individual plant once I get them in the shed and transplanted into their final 3 gal pots

 

[furrysparkle]

End of week 1 day 7, and we have gotten the shed cleared out and hooked up with electricity. Have a portable AC unit in there cooling it down to 68F it was at 90F when I left.
100W LED white spectrum light is up and vegging over the seedlings.

Hey wait a minute I'm a grandparent too. But I'm called Papa.

And I always use what I think are called Rapid Rooters. Almost 100% success getting them to germinate. However have had a few fail to thrive after that. But then again in my opinion the first 2 weeks are by far the hardest.

 

[furrysparkle]

They are I’m so stressed out!!

 

[Redwasp]

If you can make it through the first 2 weeks the rest gets easy. Yes you can run into problems but by then the plants give you time to fix them. I always just try to relax and not stress over it. My family has many farms and we grow everything from trees, to fruit, to vegetables. We have to just accept gods will and trust he knows what he is doing. He can take them all out overnight if he so chooses. At least with inside grows there is a little more control.

 

[furrysparkle]

Going to be totally honest I’m stressed about the seedlings I’ve only ever lost plants during this stage. And I was so amazed that all 5 of my bluewreck popped I don’t want to lose any until I’ve been able to choose the best from them.

 

[Redwasp]

I have never been able to choose. I always keep them all and just find somewhere else to put them. Lol

 

[Sheesh]

hey furrysparkle, looking good! I noticed AC DC in your mix. Are you growing that for pain and low thc effects? I have a Nirvana critical CBD just flipped to flower 2 weeks ago, link is in my signature. It's 1:1 thc to cbd. Looking for daytime pain relief without being stoned.

 

[Redwasp]

I have nebula cbd from Nirvana. Love the stuff. Can smoke it when I need to chill out and still feel normal. Works like a champ. Have friends who mix it with wonder woman and say its the best pain relief they have ever had.

 

[furrysparkle]

It’s a CBD rich hemp strain yes, it’s because only a few dispensaries even sell CBD flower and it super expensive

 

[alltatup]

Furry, they are adorable. Don't kill any of them: grow them ALL!!!!!!!!! ;-}

 

[alltatup]

Once I see my seedlings emerge, I don't worry about them; I keep them appropriately moist, under 400w MH bulb, and leave them alone. (Well, I do talk to them a little.)
The second half of flowering is most stressful for me: hoping the buds get fat, trying to keep the girls stress-free and happily fed...
But mostly I just worship them and give thanks for this amazing plant, which is in the Old Testament--kaneh-bosm in Hebrew.
