Thanks @AAA
So of the 10 seeds I dropped 8 have cracked and are in 1 gallon pots. They only too from 20 hours to 30 hours to open so was pretty quick.
The 2 that haven’t are the Medijuana seeds and they have been lousy seeds. I also have added some aloe gel from my aloe plant into the water hydrogen peroxide mix to see if that helps them pop. I know the only 2 medi that I have gotten to pop did take the longest so hopefully one or both will open. If not I’ll just take some clones from the 2 I have that are now in Veg.
All the others I have tried have popped.
My first strain harvested was Pineapple Express which ripened a week before the WW.
I will be harvesting the Waikiki Queen tomorrow and she is the last of the 3 I grew my first grow.
This last tea I brewed was using Boggie Brew tea mix has part 1 and part 2 dry components.
On a side note one of my next round I just potted in 1 gallon pots I used 3 parts worm casting and 1/2 parts perlite and DE.
So I’m going to try and grow 1 White widow using all Worm castings. Will be interesting. None of the tailed seeds have come up yet as they were just put in soil yesterday evening.
Will update later today or tomorrow on progress and some pics of the set up.
Some great signs of spring in my neck of the woods…WoooHooo
The second pic is of a burdock plant used for medicinal purposes. Many of you know it as the one that produces big seed pods that stick to everything.
So far, which do you prefer, Pineapple Express or White Widow?
I met a grower once who grew in 50% castings, 25% perlite, and 25% vermiculite. I never saw his grows, but he said he had great results and the buds were excellent.
Well I prefer pineapple for day and White Widow for night time lol
I like them both and they are smooth smoke even though not fully cured.
I’ve always had a variety of flavors over the years and besides the 2 that I grew I have like 4-5 other strains that I bought and I’ll tell ya I think my stuff is better all around.
Quality Control
Yea the worm shit grow will be interesting for sure
@Skydiver burdock is an ugly plant. What medicinal purpose do you use it for? It is about time spring arrives. If it were not for the fact that the Red Sox are playing right now I would be outside raking. In fact I think I will go out because they are getting killed today. Ugh.
Lol @Oldsoldier1976 I think it is B E A U Tiful. From a standpoint of the stickers they suck but there are many uses for keeping them around when needed. Just like they told us we needed to buy chemicals to kill dandelions in our yards over the years so we all could have the “same” sterile yards with no bio diversity above or below ground so they could 1) make money and 2) make money while we spend it and ruin our yards / soil etc.
I use burdock root for my gut problems as a tea…
There are many uses for it and dandelion and many “WEEDS” they lied to us about as needing to be eradicated rather than propagated and used naturally.
Sound like any other weed you know of? Lol
Too many sheeple out there believing the advertisers/marketing etc.
(Not referring to you or anyone in particular just the masses in general)
Very cool short video of worms composting and making vermicompost.
Get a worm farm and get free nutrients for your plants and reduce your footprint. All the remaining black stuff is the poop to help you grow stuff!
I have a whole worm farm with around 10-15 lbs of worms. I have Africannight crawlers, European night crawlers, and red Wiggler’s. I also sell my wormcast and worms!!!
I hear you @Skydiver I honestly hear you. You are very correct. I am a bad person for what I said given my home is an Asian culture and we use some very interesting stuff. However you have captured the Burdock in its only pretty stage. But after that I just don’t like thorny stuff it emits. Those roots though are certainly full of some very important elements.
I just finished up with the harvest of the Waikiki Queen.
The buds were solid and not very many small ones.
Here are the results of the wet trim.
I will update the dry weight in 5-7 days once finished drying in the WeDryer and after trimming off the built in handles (stems) lol
I now have enough shake I think to make some canna butter or canna coco? Or both or something else or …any suggestions welcome as that will be my first attempt at using the residual plant material other than juicing it or just eating it or composting it or in the fireplace. All the previous shake was put in freezer for future use so I probably have around 250 wet frozen grams to use.
Yes sir I’m happy with that being my first grow in living soil using natural nutrients.
This next round I have going will be better with the last grow under my belt!
