Fizzy and the Beanstalk! Grow #5

Well hello to everyone! I’m finally back, and finally getting ready to start my fall/winter/24 grow.

I am going to grow two Gorilla Glue Autos. I’m continuing to use my two pot Autopot system, this time using 3 gallon pots. I got fresh root sleeves for those pots, and I’ll be using a 50/50 mix of coco and perlite.

As you may remember, I like to do something different every time I grow, so here’s this grow’s experiment. I will be using Beanstalk timed release fertilizer. Very much like the Grow Dots, I imagine.

This will make my life a lot easier by only needed to pH control the water going into my reservoir. No more measuring, etc.

I put two seeds into the damp paper towels this morning.

I am hoping that at least one of them is another “Slowpoke”, because that girlie did me proud at two feet tall, but eight oz finished weight.

On another topic: my husband has been getting better since his last trip to ICU in June. I believe I will have him home before his birthday, which is a month from now.

I almost can’t believe it!

I’ll run around pestering people in a wee bit, hope you all are doing well and growing strong!

PS: I essentially shaved my head around my 65th birthday (4/20/24) and now I have a lovely gray pixie cut. I don’t miss my mile long dyed hair for one second!

The seeds haven’t popped yet. It’s been somewhat cool here so they are likely not hurrying.

One of the seeds has a little tail this morning. I think I’ll put both of them into some coco today.

Gotta think up names for them.

Well that didn’t take long. Kala and Terk. No, not Pokemon this time!

They are the female gorillas from the animated Tarzan movie.

Plenty of good, successful gardening vibes sent your way!

Kala - the one with the root

Terk - split shell

They are in Rapid Rooters. I will be getting the tent finalized tomorrow.

Thanks! Let’s see how they go - these seeds are from the second grow so they are a little older now. It shouldn’t really matter though.
