Hey everyone
The first grow is a wrap and can be seen in my signature, warning, there are very few pictures and I didnt post the last 2 months of flowering...I need to be better about pictures and posting.
I learnt a lot from the first grow;
Ill do 24 hours in the soak, 24 hours in a towel, and assuming the all sprout they will go into little jiffy cubes before going into the hempy buckets.
From here I will be cutting at the 3rd node, and every other node after that to make some bushes. This will continue until they are large enough to take about a dozen cuttings in one go.
Once the cuttings take root than we flip right to 12/12 to make lollipops.

I learnt a lot from the first grow;
- My grow space is limited to a small tent
- I let them veg too long, during flowering the stretched pretty far and burnt themselves on the light...I couldnt control it.
- Instead this time I will be vegging out the plants and then cloning them and flipping as soon as there are roots...going SOG with Gatorade bottles turned into hempy buckets...making lollipops...32 of them
- Heat
- I was able to vent the tent okay and keep it at about 82 degrees but I need to vent the closet the tent is in.
- I will be adding some passive vent holes in the closet ceiling, if it doesnt work than I am going to add an additional fan that vents out the closet
- Sativa's Dont Work
- The 4 mystery seeds turned out to be mainly Sativa's...they got too big for me
- Going Hempy
- To maximize space Im going hempy this time rather than soil.
- Really this is just to try the other spectrum, I dont have enough experience to have a preference
- Using Nutes
- Instead of feeding I added food and castings to the soil mix and left it alone other than water
- With the switch to hempy I will be feeding nutes, using the Lucas method
- Timer
- I need to be better about the on/off times for the light...during the 12/12 cycle I was running during weird times and Im sure my wife opening and closing the closet likely fucked the time up a few times...I think this may have been one of my bigger problems on my first grow.
- Patience
- I could have let it go another week or two and seen if it got any better...there were so many problems though I just wanted to restart
