HemperFi's Second Season

[HemperFi]

I guess it's time to begin this journal. The babies have grown well. I'm thinking they are plants now and no longer babies. I transplanted them (all but the Moby ****) into one gallon pots and into their new soil. I didn't fert them. I just PHed the water and added calMag. I want to see how they like the new dirt. I was just going to transplant the triploid Satori, but she had such nice roots I figured they were all ready for the move. I stirred a gallon of water into the soil before I began and washed all the pots. It didn't take long, and it wasn't as traumatic for me as it was last year. Just a routine transplant. Here are a few pics. Tell me what you think.

They are getting to be kids and not babies. They are looking wonderful and appear ready for their new pots. I do believe that I would have fed them nutes and waited on the Cal-Mag. I find that with GH nutes that I never needed Cal-Mag until flowering.

Everything gets easier with time and experience. Transplanting is really not that scary is it?

Nice roots and nice plants. Looking forward to your journal.

I thought about giving them nutes, Goddess, but I kinda want to see how hot the soil is, and I also thought they might need some Cal-Mag. I did put some sweet lime in the soil though....

It does get easier. I even dropped the Veneno, but it fell right into the hole I had made for it in the pot

I also turned the light down to 400w -- I figure it will help the roots get established. Am I wrong?

Thank you for the nice compliment -- I believe they look wonderful as well.

Peace

Hey Tasty. I will leave them in the one gallon pots until I am ready to turn them to 12/12 -- I will fimm them and LST them in vedge. Wish me luck. I will also clone them in vedge. I have nearly finished that book you gave me -- interesting. I learned a lot, and the pictures are wonderful.

It's more than just fun, Rosy. I get such a thrill out of this sport, and there is something deep down going on too. Something in my soul....


Peace

Crank the lights....

 

[HemperFi]

You are a master grower, Ant. Your babies will come forth, and they will be amazing. I'm sure...

Thanks, Junior. I'm excited about this grow. I have five strains growing, and they are all great genetics, so I'll be able to clone some dankness for sure.

Peace

Lights cranked!!!!

 

[HemperFi]

Thanks Gourmet, Ia am really digging this grow

Peace

 

[HemperFi]

I'm going to get some of those orange balls Tasty put on the top of her plants. (hydrotron?) I see them all the time at the hydro store. I like the idea that the roots can use all of the soil and the fact that you don't disturb the soil when watering/feeding.

 

[tastyness]

Hemper- the balls come in different sizes. Not sure which ones I used, the new bag I have for next grow is much smaller.
I really like this setup- makes watering easy and IMHO is keeping fungus gnats away.
They do grow right up to the top - I did extensive dissection of the males when I killed them.
Glad you liked the book-had some erroneous info (what book doesn't) but had quite a few tips & tricks I liked.
Let me know when you are ready for the next one (tee hee)

I think the 400W is a good idea. Better too little nutes than too many. They look nice and green and happy.

There is something about this growing that gets into your soul, isn't there. I cannot imagine not having a grow going....I'm not sure what I would do with my time. I'm also not sure I could afford to smoke. Also, the very thought of even having to go out and try and find some street stuff is horrifying

 

[HemperFi]

I hear ya, Goddess. Some kind of spiritual connectivity is going on between myself and these plants -- it feels good. I also hear ya about going in search of street weed again, though I may be doing just that before these beauties are ready to smoke. It is my mission this year to grow enough to last a long time and of a quality I can be proud to share with others. Life is good when your plants and your friends are happy

Peace

For me it is a connection to the earth..
