Playin in the dirt again 😁

Girl Scout Cookies Extreme AF ( BOTM winner prize) and my Blueberry Auto seeds arrived a few days apart. Dropped 4 BBA and 1 GSCE, these are going into the fabric grow bags, not enough living soil to put in the ground.

Growth of the cannabis plant is AMAZING!!!

In this picture, there is about 14 hours worth of new vertical stretch, which is about 1"-

This her again with adjustments made. Gonna keep the stretch going until flowering start, then all adjustments will cease (for the most part).

The stress you are inducing causes what?

For them to grow the way I want them to, yes. It forces the bud forming shoots to seek sunlight without me trimming and getting rid of possible bud sites. I will end up with about 10-15 ā€œmainā€ colas.

Popcorn bugs are great for hash and edibles but not for big bud sites.

*buds…I hate the new edit time limit.

That’s beautiful! I do raised bed vegetable gardening, and that’s a beautiful raised bed. Can I offer a suggestion? If you add a 6" shelf/ seat to the top (use triangle wedges so you don’t loose garden space), it makes things so much nicer. You can sit to work & you have a shelf so you don’t have to stoop.
I hope that didn’t come off bossy or old!:grinning:

I love suggestions! But not understanding yours, got a picture?

Thanks, I’ll keep following along. I have been growing long time, now my 4th year with greenhouse. My main change was upgrading the seeds. I have learned I’m running too hot (95 F) though.

Heat and humidity are 2 things they don’t like. Why I’m trying to complete my auto harvests my middle of July, after that we are well into the 98°+ temp range.

I haven’t found much in the Forum @ greenhouse growers. We are between indoors and outdoors. So we have slightly different issues. Can you steer me?

Not really, mine is outdoor grow only. I would assume temp control via airflow would be the biggest factor. I have been in commercial sized greenhouses ant they had huge intake and exhaust fans, one on each end of GH.

Mine, 6x10x8.5H with electric stand fans. Screen/Storm door, with Gable vents. Home made…FREE.
Haven’t posted photos yet. Seedlings 4in.&waiting.

Wisconsin now, long time. Born in Escondido, never lived there.

=======================================*************************************************

Really disappointed/dejected/upset my seeds haven’t popped yet. These are Blueberry AutoX4 and 1 GSCEA, all planted on same day, following same procedure that was 99% effective last year (1% was my fault and drowned the damn seed) and about 70% effective this year. I know it isn’t my germination method, I helped wife germinate her entire veggy garden using this method.

So far JUST THIS YEAR, this makes 8 seeds that have failed to germinate.

Anyhow, I will wait 2 more days (7 total from sowing) before I contact ILGM for replacements.

*Is there such a thing as ILGM order ban list, cause I’m sure I’m headed there if there is- 3 of the replacement WWA seeds have also failed to germinate but sadly, I have no proof I planted since I didn’t take picture of those, didn’t want to clutter my Journal feed. If you add those 3 to above mentioned total of bum seeds, that would make it an amazing 11 seeds this year that have failed.

Decided to plant WWA seed straight into pot. Not holding ILGM responsible if it doesn’t sprout, have to try and get something going in case the BBA and GSCEA don’t sprout.

I had problems with BBA. ILGM made it right though. Bummer because the one I have going is looking gooooood…

Tried something new this time around. Added peroxide to the water I’m soaking the napkin with. Also used sandpaper to roll the seeds around on to rough up the shells. I took a look tonight and it looks like all thirteen have tails starting. I had four seeds fail last grow. I was gifted Jack Herer and OG Kush autos that are giving my buddy a hard time germinating. All are starting to grow.
I’ll be doing this from now on.

Been 6 days since starting new seeds, I believe they are a bust, duds, no Buenos.

Updates as promised-
I do believe my 2 3/11 WWA are in early stages of prebloom, I keep forgetting the other 2 are 11 days behind. They really seem to like being in the ground, they are vibrant and healthy looking.

Last night it rained, ending about a 2/3 week period without water (since last rain). The ground moisture stayed a constant 20-22%, in the middle and later week of no rain, plants never looks thirsty or in distress. Honestly, these guys look happier than my plants last year.

Also, I have come to realize that the plants LOOK A HELLA LOT SMALLER in the ground vs in my grow bags…as tall and wide as the 1 gal bottle for reference.

Two WWA plants are 7-10 days shy of 60 days, which leaves me about 30-45 days for flowering stage.

LSD 3/11- I have supercropped 2 locations, zoom in and you can see where.

WWA 3/11- this one is going natural. She was really small, did try to SC, have a little black open spot on stem I will have to tape up me thinks.

WWA 3/11 Biggest, happiest looking girl (other than LSD but in all reality, these girls are look WONDERFUL).
