First grow in 40 years!
Hi All!
I'm new to this, other than an attempt I made over 40 years ago! I'm now 72 and decided to do it again! Last time my plants grew to over 7 feet tall, with not one flower! I grew them in my backyard veg garden.
So, I wish I had without keeping any records of my progress, I wish I had. I now have blooms on all except the short wide plant. On that plant, I tried low-stress training. It's clearly behind the others, but it's early in the season.
My plants are outside. When I expect rain I move them to under the overhang of my house so I can control the water intake.
I'm making some assumptions: My plants are now 19, 20, and 18 inches tall. The 19-inch plant (AK47) looks like it has stopped getting taller, it has been the same height for 3 days after growing 1-2 inches every 24 hours, so I assume it's about 4 weeks into bloom. The others are all Revolver, I'd guess from what I've seen in the blooms, about 2 weeks behind. So assuming the AK is in its 4th week of bloom, it has another 4 weeks or so to go. Should I flush with water in about 2 weeks? Later for the others?
I have changed to bloom nutrients, Fox Farm.
I planted the first seedlings in those recommended little cubes, transplanted them into 6-inch pots, then 5-gallon pots they are now in.
Drilled holes in the plastic pots for air.
I'm very happy with how this grow is going, I continue to read up on methods to learn but find some conflicting information.
Next time I plan to use the fabric pots, still 5-gallon size. I'll plant the seedlings directly in these pots.
I'd appreciate any comments and advice!
I'll post up progress!
Thanks!
