New Grower Dankerson's Grow & Show

[Original Lowryder #12]

Having it all documented helps tons!

Sounds like a plan but why grow dots? Other proven stuff out there, I'm real skeptical about new products that everyone jumps on because its trending. I don't even use refresh tho so im a outsider haha

I've been having good luck with grow dots despite the minor deficiencies. I think that's mostly because of my own doseage error though. The appeal for me is I just have to apply the grow dots once in the beginning and other than recharge once a week it's only water so very easy and simple the entire grow. If I start bottom feeding then that makes it even more hands off. I love growing but I stress a lot about my plants so the simpler the method for me the better.

@Dankerson - Beautiful stuffed tent you have going! They all look really well.

Thank you! It's been fun trying to manage this jungle, might have packed it a tad tight lol.

On my 2nd grow here i did ffof vs super soil i made vs miracle gro, the results are crazy!.. You should pit off miracle gro moisture control from walmart against growdot, won't cost much and it is fun to see walmart soil outgrow stuff

Water only the miracle gro until like week 5 or 6 then u can start LIGHTLY top dressing, like grow dots miracle gro has timed released nutes in the soil. The next time i use it i will water only until it shows signs of bottom leaf yellowing.

Edit, all my peppers outside are in miracle gro and me and the birds love the fruit they give us LOL

That's definitely interesting. I know everyone pretty much shys away from miracle grow. I can't say I've checked it out but it seems even the cheap stuff can produce good bud as long as the grower knows what they're doing. Grow dots aren't super expensive but they're definitely not cheap either. Especially if you add in the recharge. A grow in my big tent will likely be close to $100 just on those two since both med bags are about 50 each, I may not use it all though.

I have used recharge on the past three grows and the medium bag doesnt even look like I used any at all it seemed to have been overstuffed to begin with! Heck with my desktop plant it only takes 5-6oz at a time when I make up a gallon, lol at least I have the garden to use it on!

That's good, it seems like it'll last forever and I've been happy with it so buying it once a year is not a problem for me.

I am surprised at how well these ladies are holding up with my missteps. Great genetics for sure And yeah that's what attracted me to it in the first place. Going to be looking into some compost teas here soon as I believe that will help fill any gaps that I'm missing myself. We'll see how it goes. I have a lot of projects going on and so little time haha.

I bought some fish shit off Amazon just in case the grow dots needs some help in late flower...

Day 63/43/29:

9 weeks old today for the original 5! Getting very close. Not much to report, drinking a lot less. A few of the plants are starting to lean quite a bit. Can't seem to tie them up fast enough on the MOG. The CA is not far behind. Guess it's a good problem to have The Moth Man is looking beautiful, the structure is almost perfect and not a wrinkle or spot on it yet. The Fog Dog is a lot shorter but that even canopy is pretty impressive as I've done pretty much nothing to get that. Very wide plant overall, one leaf was more than enough to roll up a cannagar so I'll probably take a few more once it gets bigger. Have a good week everyone! Thanks for stopping by!View attachment 1491748View attachment 1491749View attachment 1491750View attachment 1491751View attachment 1491753View attachment 1491754View attachment 1491755View attachment 1491756View attachment 1491757View attachment 1491758View attachment 1491759

Don't judge me to hard i was still new grower lol but check this out, and spoiler, the miracle gro's buds were top shelf smoke, me and my ex preferred them over the other buds in that grow after a good cure.

I thought fish sh!t was similar to recharge? They say theirs no npk value on their site. Wonder what extra it adds.

Thank bro! I appreciate it. Dang man yeah you're putting in some work! That's a lot of plants. I have 11 going now and its been taking a bunch of work to maintain so I couldn't imagine doubling that. Definitely have to keep it easy when you're doing that. Excited to see how it turns out for you. That'll be a really colorful tent. Going to be starting my own crosses next year so it'll be interesting to see your process! Best of luck man.
