New Grower Dankerson's Grow & Show

[Dankerson]

Thank you for the extra moth man shots!!! Everyone else looks great too!

I'm getting excited about starting my MM now, I'm canceling future grow and shows for personal strain picks, you know I'm excited when i do that. This is when i wish i had more tents or bigger tents




Me trying to decide.....personal strain picks or grow and shows

Story of my life man, I want to do another 8 but my back and free time are screaming at me for a break so my next run I'm going to cut it down to 6 in the big tent and 4 in the small one. Now the ever difficult part of selecting the strains. So many strains, so few pots lol.

Your current crop is looking real close to finishing, I just hope my next indoor grow comes out as nice as yours!

Yeah should be within the next 2 weeks, thinking a week for the ones that are closer. Really excited to get these chopped down and drying.

And I'm sure it'll look great man, you have some awesome light setups and you already knew way more about organics than I did when I started lol

Day 65/45/31:

Top dress day! All 8 minus the Ogreberry got one. Top dress was the usual 4 oz of 4-8-4, 1/2 oz of bone meal, a handful of OF and a handful of worm castings. All 9 were watered with recharge. The FD and MM are doing excellent, really happy with them so far and I hope I can maintain it. That's really my ultimate goal when trying out a new method, at least one mostly perfect plant lol. I believe I caught the phosphorus def on the GP early enough. It still did a bit of leaf damage but it appears to have slowed/stopped. I should just know going forward when I see a calcium deficiency a phosphorus one is not far behind. That extra 1/2 oz of bone meal should cover me there hopefully. The FD/MM have been getting that along with the dolomite lime and higher ppm calimagic water so fingers crossed we'll see how they do. CDLC is fading a bit faster than estimated. It'll get some bud candy tomorrow or the next day and then get the chop shortly after that right within that 65-70 day window. Guess that means I'll have to figure out my drying situation soon, and get setup for my last run of the year. The others are just looking more sleepy by the day. AvT has now joined in. Marathon OG is starting to yellow out some fan leaves so I'd say it's begun its fade as well. Anyways, thanks for stopping by everyone!View attachment 1492789View attachment 1492790View attachment 1492791View attachment 1492792
Ogreberry - it's taking very well to the grow dots so far.

Maturing fast dude!
Looks like you might have over a couple pounds in there when it’s all said and done. You’re going to be putting that new bowl trimmer of yours to good use soon. Glad you got that thing bro… it would take you forever to trim all that by hand. You’ll have so much bud soon that your not going to know what to do with. After I give all I can to friends and family I take the rest of mine to a larger city close by and give it to the street corner dispensary guys. lol
They always appreciate it and makes me feel good that they’re making a little coin from what I give them.

Oh yeah I'm so glad I got it. I'll probably hand trim some tops but most of it will go through the trimmer and save my sanity.

And I know what you mean, I plan on surprising a few family members with a bunch here soon and it'll feel nice being able to just give back while doing something I really love. I remember before when I used to be so stingy when I had to buy it because it was so expensive. Now I'd send any random stranger away with a bag if they wanted it and not even think twice about it.

Day 66/46/32:

The plants are doing well today! Will start scoping the CDLC each day as I water with it being so close. I'm so tempted to chop within the next couple days but I know I should just hold out a bit longer on it. It's looking better each day. I'll try to get some trich shots here soon.
The Marathon OG is definitely fading now as well so that puts it around 2+ weeks out from finish. Looks like it'll be the next one done. It's practically already falling down. I've had to tie up half the plant so far. Can't effin wait on that one. It has been my favorite from the start and has not disappointed one bit.
The AvT looks like it won't be far behind. It's branches are starting to lean and I'm seeing the hairs turn orange and recede. Hard to tell if it's fading with all of the leaf damage but it's close.
The Cosmic Apprentice won't be far behind. The CA is a bit more difficult to tell based on the leaves with all the calcium deficiency spots. Might just go ahead and strip it more.
The strawberry gorilla has been a solid plant from the start and not disappointed at all. It's starting to foxtail now which there isn't much I can do about but I would guess that means it's close to finish as well. I'll be checking it out a bit closer here soon but all of the hairs are still white so it's still got a little bit of time left on it. It was set to be around 70 days anyways so I'd guess around 80 or more realistically.
The GP is looking gnarly up top due to the tail end of the P def. It recieved about 1oz of bone meal on top of the top dress so that should have kicked it mostly. Doesn't appear to be getting worse just dead parts of the leaves are crisping up. I'll clean it up after I know the deficiency is done.
The Moth Man and Fog Dog are still both doing beautifully. Still not color on either yet but I'm watching daily. Still looking good so far thankfully.
And last but not least the Ogreberry, it's not looking super hot this morning as I think I overwatered it a tad with the recharge yesterday. Normally looking great and perky so my mistake there. The bottom watering is working out great so far in combination with the grow dots.
Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Do you have enough grove bags and jars for all that bud you are about to have?

Do you have enough grove bags and jars for all that bud you are about to have?

Yeah I'm hoping I do lol I have like 9 x 1/4 lb bags, 5 x 1/2 lb bags, and then I think like 6 x 1/4 lb velvet soft touch. Honestly I think I might grab a few more 1/2lb bags as most of my plants don't fit into just one 1/4lb.

So the first place medal goes too... Strawberry Gorilla! Day 67 so a few days early at that. While checking the CDLC I glanced at it today with the scope and to my surprise it was already at about 10-15% amber. With the fox tailing it was ready in my book! I pulled it from the tent, stripped all the fan leaves and cut the stem and hung it up in my small tent to dry. It sits at about 69°F and 60% rh. It will stay in there for about 3-5 days and then go into brown bags for another day or two. Very excited for this one, it had a very intoxicating sweet strawberry smell to it. I love strawberry strains and this one definitely hasn't disappointed so far! Can't wait to try it out.

Will get a final weight here in after the dry.

I also had to rearrange the tent with the other 3 from the small tent so it's about as full as the Griswald house is on Christmas.
