Well, i guess this thread is going to be a record of my grow this year. Its my first grow of Cannabis. I never grew the stuff before. I’ve grown tomatoes and cat nip plants i guess i can grow Marijuana…right? I just need to not over water them or use Miracle-Gro on them. They will grow. Maybe not to thier fullest but,vthey will grow. Heck, they’re only seeds from bags of pot i was buying back in 2017. Next year im buying better seeds, autoflower seeds.

I’ve transplanted all of my seedlings into bigger pots. Hopefully into their final home but, I have not figured out which are females yet so, some will be discarded. Its tough because i dont have alot of pots or decent dirt so im winging it. Im going to make that recipe that @Caligurl gave us. This is what i was looking for, a home mixed fertilizer. Thank you very much @Caligurl

Im worried about these leaves. Do you see those pale spots? Im pretty sure it was Fungus Gnats. I seen these little winged bugs loafing under the leaves. I smashed them with my fingers and brushed them off and transplanted it. Do you think it will be okay?

I really do appreciate everyone’s support here. I know i might sound a little stand offish and i apologize if im being anti social. I have problems. Thats why i was given my Marijuana Medical Card. Im suffering from PTSD and depression and anxiety. Im not your normal Joe, i guess. I suffered through an Opiate addiction up until 2015. I’ve been through alot and I’ve seen alot. Alot of bad things. I dont know why im sharing this with you all here. I guess im giving you an explanation of why im here and why im growing. It helps me with my negative thoughts, smoking Pot…

Thank you for sharing. I also have dealt with depression and panic attacks. My PTSD is probably different that yours. Due to being bullied at a job by a gaggle of well-dressed females for years the sound of stilettos on hard floors triggers me. I don’t go to any store or restaurant on Sunday because the click click of the church crowd’s heels.

You are in a good place here. Just keep growing and we will help.

Lol. I live 20 min from PA in NY. I run 2 auto crops, staggered, in a summer outside. Ive only messed with photos to peactice w bag seed (practice sexing them, trainjng them, recognizing issues and getting better at training) i i stress them to understand the plant, too. And i LOVE growing in different kinds of items. If they die…its ok. They were a seeded plant…

Its so fun. You grow indoors yet?

@anon34311147 …growmie… i say this proud, and idc at this point in my life, i hope this isnt TMI… Learning to grow saved my life. Thise silly plants (not just pot…i grow tons of things) gave me focus, necessity, positive stress and connection. I have myself back. And i suffer. But not like i did. I stipped counting days and started counting DAYS in plant growth… lol. Suddenly i was clean for a year, stable on my meds, back to work, and proud. Im 45. Im successful. Im recorving from life.

Heres a random seed i donated today…lol. spreading the love to a friend with illness who decided growing was more than just a smoke session… fella learning to grow was given a sad plant that he was really bummed. Here was one of those successful random seed projects! But he was so happy and i was prous of myself. Ive come a long way. And so have you…and you will rock…u got this!

You are in the right place in the life you live. Looking forward to growing along…

Maybe needs a little N? If it was my plNy
T, id take spray bottle around the base with a grow feed high in N (phd and ppm). I rely on ppm and pH. My forst hydro made me so aware of how important these both are. Are yiu familiar? I do t want to tell you things you know. If the pH and ppm are good…you cannot kill a plant. Well. You can. But. No.

See…click clicking heels…does God reallllllly care??? No. God is way to busy perfecting vegetation and fungi to care about humans playing dress up to pray. Call me hippy-dippy crazy, but God speaks to me through plants. An (enhanced or substance free) sacred circle gets you prerry close to God…

Your probably a very nice person and they seen that in you and were jealous. The darkness hates the light but guess what?.. the light always shines in the dark no matter what…it out shines the dark. So much better… :wink:

No, not yet… id like to learn how to train them. I know a little about this styl of plant because i grow catnip for my cat…lol…i know how to pinch the tops to get more buds. I know how to prune the bigger sun leaves off so they dont take up nutrients. I was looking into Scrogging. That looks correct to me. I like that.
Can you teach me a little about training?

Sounds cool… thanks for sharing. I dont feel so alone. Its a joy to grow plants. I love it and ive always been enchanted with the Cannabis plant. Its my first love actually. Ill never give it up. I want to become a good Pot grower so i dont have to stress about running out of supply for one and many other reasons also. To much to type for me…LOL… its good to be here. Thank you

Ill do this on the next watering. I just transplanted it and watered it. Its doing good. No signs of shock yet. Its been 6 hours. Thank you. Ive killed alot of tomato plants before by experimenting with watering and Miracle-Gro grow. I know how to kill a plant real fast, trust me…hahahaha…

Im with you all the way on this

Im going to get some and do this thank you
