well...i just recently was "evicted" from my last cyber-home where i kept all my grow journals and pics (after 10years of being a member! F'n politics!). anyway, i looked around and registered for a few other boards, but most are really "noisy" and not my speed. marijuana passions seems a little more laid back and "controlled", if you know what i'm sayin'. ...we'll see.
well...let's see, can i catch you up to date? close your eyes and imagine. ...oh, wait, don't close your eyes b/c you won't be able to read my post
i started off w/ 5 plants:
2 - presidential kush (florida strain brought to colorado)
1 - oger 99 (og-cross)
1 - juliet
1 - chemdawg x sour diesel
...everything started well in the solo cups, they got big enough to transplant into some 2.5 gal containers w/ some miracle grow "organic". i had the containers in my back yard on my cement pad and i would move them around so that they could get sun for the majority of the day.
a couple of things started giving me problems. one, the black 2.5 gal homeD pots that i got were getting too hot. ...so i covered w/ a white sheet on the sun-side. this seemed to help. next, about a week or so after fixing/mitigating the heat problem, i started noticing that there were leaves missing from some plants. mostly the oger99. ...like something was chomping on it. i suspected my dogs or squirrels, but didn't really now until i came out one day and caught my female with the oger99 in her mouth. the big pres plant that i had was chomped on too. the oger99 was a complete loss, but i have been able to coax back the bigger pres plant. i had to cut off most of the lower branches and some of the bigger leaves.
so now i have them all in this:

a puppy kennel that i had previously built!
what's that pitcher filled with, you ask?
...so now/today is day 30 of flower, i guesstimated that flowering "started" on august 1. i've been really good about putting the plants in the most sun during the day. the juliet and the two pres plants are doing well...the problem has been the cXsd plant. she is just a nute wh0re...and i don't have money to buy any supplements for her. so back to the pitcher full of murky water. what is it?? >>>>it's used coffee grounds and water!
come to find out, used coffee grounds have nute (n/p/k) value! something like 2.0-.3-.3 or somewhere around there. don't use too much because coffee is acidic and can cause overall ph of soil to go down and cause "nute-lock"
anywho...that's where i'm at today. looking to complete the cXsd sometime at end of september along with the juliet. the two pres kush plants look like they'll need til the middle of october, but we'll see.
here's a couple of pics of the girls:
whoops, files are too big...let me fix.
more to come
