Sawney's Beans Paulg’s Boomstick-aroo

[paulg]

Sorry, I was trying to be witty. Bonnaroo, Boomstick-aroo. Ok, never mind, on to my next grow. I’m presently growing a Lecter. Coming along nicely. I was hoping to give her the Vapo treatment but Sawaney recommended against it. Vapo has done his treatment on Boomstick quite successfully. If I get close to his results ( see journal below) , I’ll be thrilled!
I’m starting an experiment, I will start a new plant every 3/3.5 weeks. I will rotate four plants through my 2.3x2.3 tent. To alleviate overcrowding , I will use the Vapo method and apply generous schawazzing. The goal is narrow plants at different stages. Thanks to Sawaney for supplying the beans.
So, let’s get started:
I use organic soil, compost, perlite, earthworm castings, Dynomyco. I’ll be using Build a Soil water soluble nutes, EM1. I think that’s everything.
I use Gro Buckets inserts in 5 gal pails.
I’ve moved the Fan, heater and humidifier outside the tent. I also added a second MarsHydro TS1000 LED lamp. @Vapo
So, I’m ready for action! Here are some not so exciting pics to get started:

I planted two seeds, in order to pick the best plant. The bottom sprout looks a little odd. I’ll give it a day or two to convince me she’s the one. Otherwise, bye, bye. Other than that, nothing special to report.

She’s looking good! Haven’t really done anything to her yet. The GroBuckets (SIP) keeps the soil moist. The aerator helps keeps the reservoir healthy and water saturated with oxygen. I’ll start adding some nutes soon. I also, started a Sawaney Bean Blue Light. I think I’ll add it to this journal. There’s a master plan at play: I want to grow four plants in my 2.3x2.3 tent. This will require staggering the plants and keeping them low and in check ala Vapo. Stay tuned! Thanks for stopping by

Both Boomstick and Blue Light are healthy but seem to be developing slowly. It’s been hot here. I saw highs in the tent between 85-90f. So, perhaps they are slightly stunted? This week will be cooler, we’ll see how it goes!

@Sawney_bean : I had to cull this plant too. Aphids! I’ve cleaned the tent and have another bean on its way. Stay tuned!

It happens mate. I got some thrips in my grow . Wee pesky beastie.
If you need more seeds let me know buddy .

Hey Swaney: after this disaster, I planted another Boomstick seed. I think I had a imbalance with the nutrients. Lots of yellow leaves. I never really figured it out, but she kept growing. The last week or two she rebounded. Now I’m pretty excited! Whoopie.
Here’s a few photos from the last few weeks. Thanks for your supreme generosity

Looks like you had a slow start but it's bounced back well mate.
I hope you like it come smoke time, I think you will lol .
Plenty more strains here if you need anything.
Thanks for sharing mate
All the best for 2025

She’s in her golden years! Still drinking allot of water and bulking up. I’ll be away for a week but she should be done when I return.

Time to harvest. The nugs are rock hard. Probably, the densest I’ve grown. I’m surprised, I wasn’t holding my breath. I thought this one wasn’t going to make it. Wrong again! I’ll post again when she’s cured. Swaney beans are the shtz! Thanks for stopping by.
