UPDATEL
Ohhh geez, I did it again! Things have been very difficult at home and I've lost track a bit on my threads. Trying to get in track again!
Things are doing good throughout the garden. In the tent you will see 6 plants, 4 of which are "sick" plants. by that I mean, they are autoflowers that were just beginning to flower when the water damaged they. And although some show signs they have recovered a bit, they all have the same problem, flowering has not restarted and I don't know if it will. I've also got an odd phenomenon happening also. I have 2 autos that are looking like clones that are taken when a plant is in flower. Its characterized by the growth of a profusion of new leaves, mostly where you'd see buds. I don't know if these plants will ever flower again or not, so what I've done is put them in the tent with 2 female photo periods, and one male that's almost ripe. The make is a Durrty Dragon x Blueberry Headband that auto'd. I want him to pollinate the 2 females which should start flowering any day, as I set the tent to 12/12 about 6 days ago. I don't care if they other get pollinated or not, I just want to see if they'll at least flower enough to get seeded bud, because some bud is better than none!
In the growroom you see my auto White widow, which has started growing again, in fact, she's grown about 5" in the last week. BUT, she's another that was halted in flower. Its driving me crazy that a nice, big plant like this, could turn out to be worthless! In the tot behind her, is my large, DD x BBH that is growing very nicely. I'm going to top her again this week. I'm hoping to SCROG her in the next 2-4 weeks, depending on of she's where I want her to be growth wise. I'm feeling good about her getting big and giving me lots of bud! In the pot standing in the tote next to the BBH is one of my Yoda's Dragon's Breath, a beautiful little plant!
She bounced back and is finishing her buds! Awesome genetics here! Next time I plant these, they will be in BIG pots!
Speaking of big pots, I have three, 5 gallon pots with seedlings in the growroom now. The pots were filled with fresh organic soil, some worm castings and about 4 tablespoons of Growmore Organic Soil Builder. I have 3 strains. One is my Dragon Kush, one is Sour Diesel Dragon, and one is my Mephisto red-headed stepchild, a Bubbly Kush. Now these bubbly Kush were a project of Mitch's which used some genetics from Stitch............So they may or may not auto. Mitch did advise me on this before I bought them but he gave me a great deal on them and some nice freebies too! So my plan is to grow out a bunch of them, and if I find both a male and female that auto, I'll cross them in hopes of getting a higher percentage of autos in the next generation. And I've got to say this, the bubbly Kush is the largest and healthiest looking of the seedlings! Hell, I don't care if they auto or not, I've no doubt they'll give some fine bud. My Dragon Kush is Durrty Dragon and Stitches KVS, and that is a damn fine cross!
Everything you see here, is growing organically. When the plants that are in recycled soil are done, I'll use the soil in my wornbins, as it helps make great worm castings! Nothing goes to waste. I even chop up the fan leaves and stems and put them in the worm bins.
I just bought twelve, 30 quart bags if the Isabelle Miracle Mix Organic soil for $3.00 a bag at the farmer's market. He even threw in a couple Spaghetti Squash! Nothing better than free dinner! I used home-made spaghetti sauce I made from tomatoes I grew last summer, and some ground Venison that was given to me!
I'll buy another 16 bags of soil when I get paid next month. That and a bale of Pro Mix, and the rest of the soil recycled from last year's outdoor grow will be blended for my upcoming greenhouse grows.
So far, I've spent $58.00 for my grow needs for this year. I may end up spending another $30-$40 before I'm done, but remember, I can't have an in the ground garden here so 'll be growing in 2, small, greenhouses, and thisa includes mt vegetable gardening too! And O've got a couple special things for that too, like blue tomatoes and some fancy peppers!
