New Grower My 2nd AF grow - Buddha White Dwarf

[Slow2Gro]

Well just started my 2nd AF grow. I think this'll be my 4th grow altogether, counting 2 grows of photos (2nd Photo grow I funked up and didn't yield hardly crap).
Growing some Buddha White Dwarf. Not sure why I picked it, think it was on sale at Herbies.
Trying to find as much info. on the BWD as I can. I noticed some people said they are small plants and others medium sized.
I have them in Jiffy Pellets now. All 5 germed, which was AWESOME, and it I've had 4 pop up already with the 5th on it's way I believe.

I'm not sure if I should put them in 3 gallon bags or just 1 gallon since I'm not sure how big they get. Heard they are done in 60 days more or less, so that's awesome since I'm without smoke again and having some VEERY stressful family issues happening currently. So I want to smoke really bad right now. Went to Dr. and he's trying to put me on anti-depressants. I'm like fuck that I'd rather just wait for some budz.

Not much to show yet. I'll take some pics when they start getting a bit taller. Heard/Read that SoCashed topped his, so was thinking of doing that to a couple of them and see how they turn out.

60 days is a long time to wait with high levels of stress, moreso at home with family. If you end up at the Doctors again, ask about Valium. They work for short term use aswell as long term, unlike some other pills that need to build up the levels in your body. Valium is a decently quick release: anti stress, anxiety, depression, general seizures, muscle relaxant pill, need I go on?

They come in 2mg, 5mg and 10mg in some countries. I still take one with my sleeping pills(also aid anti anxiety/stress} and lots of vapes. I could see your Doc approving of 5mg pills 2-3 times daily, depending on age and such.

I am also out of green atm, have like 60grams of vaporized weed though, that I smoke when My shakes or stress is just 101%

Goodluck on your grow, sounds like off to a good start! Speedy Karma Your way!

Good to see you back again with another grow. I'd suggest the 3 gallon bags over the 1 gallon pots. Even if they are smaller plants your results should be better with the bigger bags. I would also suggest that you not top them, especially since you're looking for a fast harvest. In my experience topping dwarf autos only lengthens the time it takes for them to finish while they recover and in the end, doesn't increase their yield.

Cool, thanks guys. Yeah I won't take any meds/pills for stress. I don't like taking pills as is (aspirin, ibuprofen), so I'll just try and deal with it.
Yeah I was only going to top 2 of them, cause someone said they had good results in doing so, but maybe I'll just leave them.
I'll go with the 3 gallon bags also.
My first grow of Autos I used OF for soil(less). This time I bought 4 bags of Happy Frog and 1 of Ocean forest and mixed them. So hopefully it won't burn them this time.
Plus first time I gave them nutes kinda early, this time I'm waiting till they flower and starting at 1/4 dose of nutes.

Still using 400W HPS and was thinking of adding some CFL's to the mix this time. Was going to clip 4-6 CFL lamps on each side of my Hood, but I'm checking my finances to see if I'm able to afford that. Was going to do 2 or 3 2700K's and 2 or 3 6500K's. Hoping that extra 100W will help my buds be a bit more compressed this time around.

Yeah, I am super anti-pills now, weed seemed to aid all problems. A couple months ago was on over 100 pills aweek, if its not one, its another of the meds changing around. Least I'm down to 77 pills aweek yay:no: only 7 of those are valium now lol. BTW these are all perscribed.

Used to pound down all types of pain killers for headaches as a kid, now take none unless its too much. Aspirin and ibuprofen I believe have more bad side effects then paracetamol(my safest). Valium is not to be compared, unless you just meant "won't take any pills but fun ones":head:
I commend you on your' will power, hang in there! and goodluck with the grow and staying sane!

Cool thanks man.

Besides all the BS I'm going through with my parents (they are trying to sue me for some BS reason and spreading lies about me in this town), just got a call today and found out my sister was found dead this morning. Wow, when's it going to end. Not really a big deal as I wasn't close to her (and I was adopted), but still.
Wish I knew someone in this town to find some smoke, but I'm too private of a person to ask around and let people know my business. It is how it is.

I can see my parents just booting me out if they knew I was bending the rules to the point which I'm at, which is growing. "using" in my room is "wrong" even though I went the extra mile and spent the extra 400$ for a vaporizer to not stink house up with smoke, I still vape in there just hold it till nothin left. I've had diagnosed epilepsy for about 2+ years and parents blame weed for that also, even though its a known(and I remind them often) medication.

With parents most times you can't win in general day-day, but I wish you luck with the legallity side of things. I won't pretend to know how you're feeling about your sister, very sorry to hear about that man. Can always chat to one of us on here if the fresh air is needed.

One day you'll catch that one hook up and follow the trail till you find the O's and Lb's. Pubs can be promising, just pick the labouror not the cop I've heard other bowling alleys are good places to, while I was bowling and a pothead I helped out friends and gained some new friends and contacts with it. Wrecked my back and quit. Life's a bitch sometimes, gotta focus on whats to come Your' White Dwarf's! sorry very long winded..

Took some Pics

Well took some Pics today. I think they are about a week old now after sprouting.
I really haven't been keeping track like I did with my first grow, but I got alot more shit going on now this time.

One of them was growing down in the peat pellet. I had to uncover it, but today I used a paper clip and helped lift it up out of the peat pellet.

They look to be doing ok for now. I'm just so glad all 5 of the germed and sprouted. With the Short Riders I only had 3 germ and only 2 ended up making it.
I know the BWD don't yield much, but I'm hoping to get at least 15g's off of each one.



Yeah the issue with my parents is BS, but I'm not too worried about it since I did nothing wrong and they are doing nothing but lying. Don't really care about my (so-called) sister as I've never felt a part of that family.
I'm married to a great woman with 3 great kids so that's all I care/worry about. It's just kinda crazy with everything going on, but oh well that's life. All I can do is make sure my kids are raised right and don't have to deal with the BS I did while growing up.

Transplanted

Transplanted the little guys into the 3 gallon bags. Didn't fill the bags up all the way, but there's at least 2.5 gallons full.
Transplanted into 70% Happy Frog, 20% Ocean Forest, 10% Perlite.
Had to put them under the HPS as there was no way they'd all fit where I had them under the Floro's.
Raised the temp a bit. So I have an oscillating fan blowing across them. Temps seem to be about 84-85 degrees.

Here are a couple pics.




My freaking pH pen dried out. I didn't even think about keeping the tip moist when I wasn't growing. Going to soak it overnight in some Tap water and hope it'll revive it. Otherwise I guess I'll have to buy a cheaper Hanna Pen.
