Dennis 62 simple grow #19

[Dennis62]

Yesterday is Day 1 of this grow, and well the super skunk that had real bad helmet head, well the crushed cotyledons didn’t open, and pineapple express had the placenta sack holding her cotyledons together, I thought she would pull through but both of them were pretty much dead this morning. So I turned the medium some and planted two new seeds of the same strains and we’ll see what happens these will be a full week or more behind the others with my quick grow cycles it makes a difference but it is what it is, that’s why I start 4 but I didn’t expect having 2 bad seeds… But like I said one never knows with mj plants. The pineapple express seeds are 7 years old and the super skunk was from a hermie so maybe who knows shit happens trying to fix it and carry on. Anyway here are the girls today, first up is LA Ultra

Here is gold leaf

They are doing well and they are beside the tower fan blowing on them gently making them dance a little. RH 42% and 73* I don’t count on humidity and neither do my plants, as long as the plant has it’s roots in damp soil, it is good, I don’t expect my seedlings to live off of its cotyledon leafs, my medium is hot but by only wetting the root zone I am only activating the nutrients in that small space, therefore I cannot burn seedlings. As I increase the amount of watering the medium releases more nutes, but the plants get use to it slowly this way, by the time I water to run off my ppms will be above 2400 easily tomorrow is one week since I poured a 16oz cup of water on the seed minus dampening the top 1 inch keeping seed damp, so with dry medium around the root zone it is evaporating that moisture into the dry medium, tomorrow I want to add a second 16oz cup of water, since the first one dampened the medium this one will spread out a little further but not by much but it is enough for this age seedling 6" deep and 4" dia. Once again dry medium around, so my medium can’t hold excess moisture and no over watering. There is not much happening above ground at this time but there is a lot going on below. I will also be watering close to the plant so the water goes down not any further around yet, 4" is plenty until leaf drip line gets wider. As long as I allow days between watering top medium dries, no stem rot. I don’t try to force my plants to search for water, if the medium is damp the roots will spread out just fine. Simple grow meaning I don’t complicate matters, I simply grow plants the way they are in nature, water, feed, sunlight and wind/air exchange thats it. No bro science, well there is a science to what I do, but you know what I mean. Sorry didn’t mean to get on my soap box again lol I am having a good weekend and I hope you guys are having a good one too. Hopefully tomorrow I will see new ones joining the party till next time happy growing yall

Hey Dennis how are you doing brother? I got back home a few days ago and dropped 4 beans & 3 are showing life,So mine are a few days behind yours im going to hold off on trying MG until my next grow because I have a bag of FFOF I’ve had for a couple of months. But! I am going to try your watering method on one. I’ve been having a problem with my stomach & lost 15 pounds in the last 3 weeks. SUCKS!!! I’m thinking maybe I got some seeds that do not produce THC. I smoked half of a number & didn’t get a buzz what so ever. It looks & smells good with plenty of trich’s & sticky as all get out, just doesn’t work lol. Anyway I’m on board for watching your grow​:+1: I hope you & all of you friends following you are doing well!!!

[Dennis62]

Hey Brian all is well here, I have been having heart issues that are pretty scary, just saw Dr today said to double blood thinner for a couple weeks, but its all good hopefully your gut gets better soon my friend. Hey brother yeah I have not experienced ffof but believe it is similar as to good drainage and can use similar watering conditions. And I hear ffof is hot like miracle grow potting mix so may help. I have a 1/2 ounce of bud one of my grow buddies gave me and it has the same issue, sticky stinky and beautiful tricomes, tastes good but no head high at all!!! I have no idea why though, I do know I probably have a high tolerance to weed so I might not be the best judge appreciate you coming along with this grow, happy to have you along my friend my two girls are doing great and I hope another one pops up tomorrow. But we’ll see, again its all good hope you have a great week and good luck with your babies

[Brainsacco1]

Thank you bro! The only thing I did differently on my last grow was adding a supplemental light, uvb. If my next grow is like the last I’m gonna be really pissed! It doesn’t take much to get me buzzed as I had to stop smoking for a long long time working for the water authority back in VA. So unlike you I get buzzed real easy​:blush: how are you liking your buds from your last grow? They were some really nice looking ladies you had there (as usual) . I’ll add you in my prayers I hope increasing your meds helps you!! I’m having a CT scan done on the 11th so hopefully when I go back to see the doctor on the 18 he will be able to help​:crossed_fingers:I know, I use a lot of emojis lol. I’m Sicilian and everyone knows if you stand next to one you might get hit from one of their hands flying around . Are you going to watch the eclipse tonight? Personally I’m not interested in it, a couple minutes of darkness isn’t a big deal. Kid Rock didn’t see the sun for 3 damn days once o yeah I almost forgot, im going to buy a new light for my 3 by 3, any suggestions? I’m looking at a AC Infinity 300 wattage.Ionframe EV 04

[Dennis62]

Sorry gotta head out for a couple hours, but I don’t have any ideas for lighting, I went from old burple lights to hlg and love them, they sold me parts to have the lights I run way cheaper holler at ya tomorrow my friend @Brainsacco1 gotta run

[4204life]

Hope all is well! @Dennis62

[Dennis62]

Hey brother @Brainsacco1 oh man I am sorry your last stuff was bad that is crazy, I don’t know about the uvb light tho. well my friend all 3 of mine were awesome member berry is my favorite very berry and mandarin sunset has the best high, 11 roses is great and gives me the munchies really bad happy with the results for sure. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well buddy

Hey @4204life yeah things are moving along and have not had a update till now, my first two plants are doing great, but a second super skunk had bad helmet head and didn’t make it, and the pineapple express auto popped and it’s helmet came off with a little help, now waiting to see if she stands up right

Thanks for checking in on me my friend, hope all is well with you and you are enjoying your week
Holler at yall tomorrow to see what happens with the auto tonight happy growing yall

[Dennis62]

Good evening yall here we are at day 6 and I have 2 plants that are doing fine for 6 days okay for those paying attention to when and how much I watered. On the 1st I used a 16oz cup of water to wet the pre moisten soil for the seeds, 5 days later on the 6th I used another 16oz cup, 3 days later (today) I changed to now every 3 days watering to the size of the plant (deep as the plant is tall and as wide as the leafs) this is done by estimate and today I used a little over half a 16oz cup to wet a wider circle and allowing the majority of the water around the leafs drip line not around the stalk so much, I am pretty confident that below the tap root is still plenty damp for the hight of the plant. Again next watering will change as the plant gets taller and wider, with these plants a couple waterings everything changes! This is like a flood and drain system wetting the root zone every few days but for now to the size of the plant to control over nuking the seedings. Tomorrow is 1 week but I will post pictures today for the weekly update.
Here is LA Ultra with too big of helicopter leafs for her stem, so I use a crutch like this to keep the fan from blowing them over, seedling stretch is over but it will take a few days for the stalk to thicken and stiffens.

Terrible problem when they grow faster than they can support lol but it is only temporary I also put a crutch on gold leaf tho she hasn’t gotten as wide as LA here is Goldleaf today

I don’t think pineapple is going to do anything, she is still doubled over but her cotyledons are green and opened

I’m pretty bummed I think I have possibly ruined my seed collection, I had a close to 100% germination rate!!! I had 4 helmet heads this Grow!!! I have my seeds in small aluminum bead containers, I didn’t think the metal would get cold enough to damage knowing some people keep their seeds in the freezer. But evidently it is making a big difference and I honestly don’t know what to do. I can’t have a repeat of this again.
Anyway nothing I can do about this now, I did put the seeds in mini ziplocks fir now.
But I am okay with 2 plants this grow and I see what happens lol onwards and upwards yall​:+1: hopefully everyone is having a great hump day I will keep you informed on how things are progressing. Happy growing yall

[Brainsacco1]

Hey bro! I keep mine in the refrigerator and my germination rate is around 99% they are in those small baggies that they came in. I try to get as much air out of them before I zip it up. The longest I’ve had them in there was about a year &a half… I hope you don’t lose any more

[Dennis62]

Thanks brother I appreciate yeah I had pineapple express for 6 or 7 years and I use to keep them in baggies and never had issues. Time to open my pocketbook and explore new strains I have 14 weeks to figure it out lol. Have a great evening my friend @Brainsacco1

[Brainsacco1]

Hey D, I have some WW’s auto’s I can send you if you need some.

[Dennis62]

Why thank you my dear friend, that is very appreciated I will be fine, I am on fixed income but I got a little stashed for just this sort of problem Hey look whos made it Pineapple express auto is standing tall this morning so looks like I will have 3 tho the auto will be a full week behind!!! Pretty happy tho. Happy growing yall

Have a great day buddy @Brainsacco1

[Brainsacco1]

Congratulations on the little girl​:slightly_smiling_face: no problem brother! I remember when I started growing a few years ago and you told me that if there was a way to help me get a light, that you would help me if you could. I’ll never forget that anything I can do to help I will in a heartbeat! Is the increase in meds helping?

[Dennis62]

Absolutely my friend, that is what we do thanks for congrats I keep dancing around my house singing Oh happy day funny how a little plant can make me happy,and yes the increasing meds are working, I am feeling better lol amazing what more blood flow does!!! Thanks my friend hope you are having a great day @Brainsacco1
