Thanks Splatoid. I love CCR, but my skills aren’t quite there yet. I’m REALLY new and progressing slowly. Hope you can work through the thumb issues because playing seems like such a rewarding hobby.

As usual, I transplanted from the germination station to the grow tent earlier than necessary. I wanted to get the plants under the LED with more light than I could give them using the T5 fluorescents. Now getting light levels at 5600 lux. Had been getting 2500 lux under the T5s. Now I wait...

These are old Timber 3VL cob grow lights. Timber is no longer in business. It’s probably VERY outdated compared to current LEDs given how much led technology has advanced in 5 years.

Thanks Boo! Yes, every grow is different and it gets me second-guessing every step in my process when things don’t go as planned. I guess that’s all part of the growing experience. I think I’m over the hurdle now but there’s plenty more lessons to be learned before I reach harvest. Good luck...

This made me laugh…

Good Morning! A quick Saturday update to the grow journal. It took 17 seeds, but I finally managed to get 5 seedlings to sprout. I plan to move three of these to 1.5 gallon containers in a week. That’s four additional seedlings this week, so I’m feeling better about my germination. I learned...

Thank you BigSur! I don’t recall ever having so much difficulty germinating seeds. New seeds were planted under “ideal conditions” into Rapid Rooters this morning. I did notice two new seedlings yesterday, so I should be able to fill my 2x4 tent now. I’ll try to sprout up to 6 plants and...

Hello, here’s a quick week #2 update on the grow that doesn’t want to start. I feel like my germination attempt has been cursed…..1 sprout out of 13 seeds planted has sprouted over the course of the last two weeks. All I’m looking for is three seedlings. I am now convinced I was too warm as...

Went to the theater for The Equalizer 3 yesterday…..very well done. If you enjoy vigilante movies, it’s a good one.

Hi OldFogey, Thanks! I am measuring the temperature under the lights and I’m running around 86 degrees and 45 percent humidity now that I’ve taken the cover off the dome. I am using a heat mat. I would expect that to be an ideal temperature, but I will turn off the heating mat off and see if...

Nothing exciting to share, but I need to update my strains here in my grow journal. I’m looking for just three seedlings and germination isn’t going well here. I just added 6 more seeds to a soak in preparation to plant them tomorrow. I am worried that my seed storage technique is hurting the...

Today marks one week after I planted both of the remaining Godfather OG seeds….only one of the two seeds sprouted. I added 5 more seeds to the germination station with the hope of getting 3 plants for the tent this fall/winter. I soak my seeds in seaweed extract and RO water for 24 hours...

I was a “yes” on the survey until recently. I’ve taken four of the jabs and I’m still alive. I contracted COVID twice in August and September this year and I credit the mild symptoms with having received a vaccine. With that said….I’m choosing to skip future mRNA vaccines until I feel they...

Thanks Subbie! I’ll save everyone from the pain and avoid any playing or singing. I recorded my playing a few times and it’s terrible when I play it back. I see that you run 4 plants in your 2x4. Is that still your preference? The most I’ve ever run in this size is three, but I’m open to...

Thank you Bugus, my Godfather OG seeds are from Pacific Seedbank. They get some mixed reviews but my one experience with them was very good. I had them stored in a vacuum sealed jar in a refrigerator and they seem slow to germinate….fingers crossed they make it. I’m never too sure of the...

Thanks Hippie and Boo for the welcome. It’s good to be back….even with my simplified grow. Hope to have more to contribute to the site this year.

Good Day! It’s good to see so many familiar names still here on MP. Hello again and sorry for the delayed absence. I’ve totally given up on trying to grow in summer since I vent my tent indoors, so I’ve taken a summer leave from growing. It’s simply too much heat and humidity for my house...

Congratulations GMO. That’s a beauty!

Good Morning, I left the plants hang drying in a grow tent with a humidifier set to 60% humidity. Took about one week before it was time to remove the buds from the branches. I did a poor job of wet trimming, so I decided to use the bowl trimmer for these colas which made a huge difference in...

When I smoked, I rolled my own using a machine roller, cigarette tubes and pipe tobacco. Better tasting cigarettes and a considerable savings too. Finally managed to quit…..
