Live Stoner Chat Hey all..

[Gone Camping]

Been lurkin around here for a bit, thought i'd share what i'm up to and a lil background.

1st year grower, started with photoperiod clones last April. With the help of a few on another forum i have been blessed with a few small harvests. I'm growing in my unheated detached garage, so to keep going through winter temps i attempted a 24/0 auto grow that proved successful..

Last fall i picked up some Vision NL auto's, i got to harvest 2 of 5. Realized i needed to work on my germination so i played with a dozen bagseed. That seems to have done the trick.. i just germ'd 3 of 3 new auto's.

This run i decided to try some color, picked up a 5 pack of Bomb's Berry Bomb and got a free Dinafem Sour Diesel. Pulled two of the BB and the single SD, 12/16hrs in water till they sank, then to the paper towels in an airtight tupperware container placed on the cable modem. Once i had 3 taproots i placed into final pots. One BB and the SD in 3gal Roots Organic Greenfields, and the last BB in a 2gal Coco Hempy i'm trying out.

Guess i'm about 2 weeks in so far, the SD is the front runner so far, with the BB's lagging a bit behind. Had some weird early growth on the BB in Greenfields but doing better in the Coco.

I'll update every so often and look for suggestions from you experienced folk. Towards the end of this grow i'll start on some photo strains i'v collected and probably start these auto's late spring and put outdoors. Then look into some more auto's again next fall.. this is such an addicting hobby.

I started out with T5/Scrog last spring, it's now my clone/veg box. The 3 seeds in their new homes.

GC,

where have you been?, I have been expecting you ! Still, you finally made it and all is good. The lil girls look to be off to a good start. Any help you need, just yell. We are here for ya, eP.

 

[Gone Camping]

Thanks for the welcome epenguin!

Your sig (Meerkats) looks familiar and i suppose i know you by another SN elsewhere?

I appreciate the welcomes y'all, cruising around looking for a few good forums to settle in for the long haul.. this one shows lotsa promise.

Since i have your attention.. seedlings are now in the 4x4 tent under 400w HPS. ~20" above canopy temps ~76*F. My Berry Bombs seem to be slower and i'm trying like hell not to under/over water or stunt these in any way. Hoping to see some substancial growth here soon as they develop better root structure..

Closing in on 30 days old, the BerryBomb's seem like they may still be lagging behind a bit. The Sour Diesel was getting leggy so i bent her over to level the canopy, she's also the first to show pistils.

The smaller BerryBomb..



The BerryBomb Hempy, she found the reservoir a few days back. Color looks a lil light so i'll be bumping up the nutes to 50% soon.



And the Sour Diesel, bent over a bit.



Picked up a few more 2 gallon Hempy buckets and got them ready for another few beans. Build up a lil stash as i'm starting a few photo's in another month or so.

Welcome Gone!!

 

[epenguin]

It all looks to be going in the right direction. You should be pleased with what you have achieved so far.
Good work there my friend !

eP.

Making progress.. with the recent very low temps and growing in my garage i have learned what i need for next winter. Have a union carpenter son and we have been discussing things.. there will be a round of improvements this summer.

The SourDiesel is being fed MaxiBloom at 50%, no signs of nute burn whatsoever as expected.



The BerryBomb Hempy is also doing well, also @50% nutes.



And the BerryBomb in Greenfields has picked up the pace.



Dropped a few beans in the hottub a few days back, now all 3 have emerged from their medium. 2 more BerryBomb in Greenfields and another hempy experiment. I'm diggin this hempy style.
