New Grower My 1st Grow, A journey...

[StickMan]

I just had to go put a coat on in the house after looking at your CC.

I was thinking today, man, I hope I never become so jaded that I loose my sense of wonder and joy when I look at my garden. I know it will wear off a bit, but not too much, eh!

I don't think you ever will brother. I know I haven't, and I have been gardening veggies, herbs and flowers for 30 years. But cultivating Cannabis is even more incredible. I never get tired of watching seeds germinate and to watch them grow up.

Have a good evening brother!

Hey Brother StickMan!
Thank you kindly for the gracious compliments!
The most amazing things, aren't they. Tonight I put on two pair of +3.00 reading glasses and stuck my face right in there and just stared at it. That's when I was thinking about that sense of wonder. Just look at those trichomes sticking up their little bubble heads all over everything. I just love seeing the calyx develop and swell as more pistils appear all curly.
One thing though, I cannot believe I have yet to cut off a small bit for a taste! I amaze myself, 10+ years of no use, all those beauties in my basement, nada! Growing and watching them develop and the desire to bring them to their full potency is strangely enough for now! Pretty cool I think.
Later my friend.

Arghhh... Just cannot resist!! This is such a nice shot of the calyx (calyxes?) I had to show it off.

I know what you mean, I have around 10 different strains curing now that I have grown in the last 8 months, but go for days at a time without smoking. Well, in full disclosure I basically ingest it through Coconut Oil infused with Cannabis and Lecithin, or a tincture I make for pain management. The growing of it is such therapy in itself. I only have had my new grow room up and running for a week now, and I spend a lot of time in there just sitting and beholding the beauty, and that is with the girls still just in veg.

The fact that you so enjoy being with the girls while they are in the tent, you will be so much more enamored when you are able to actually sit in there with them. They give off such amazing vibrations. So very peaceful to say the least.


Sorry, but just had to

you again for that beyond beautiful picture you just posted.

This might only be my second slash third grow but my first was a photo and it wasnt nearly trichomed at day 123 as much as my NL at day 46. Yours are looking pretty frosty too bro.

Thanks for the wonderful feedback! This site is the best!!!:hug:
The growth today looked good. As much as I enjoy staring at them it is to the point where not a lot seems to be happening between viewings. That's one reason I like the photographs, comparing them is very cool. Hope you folks aren't getting too tired of them!
BK, my photo period girl (I hope)! Just keeps growing and staying bushy but not showing sex yet that I can see. I thought that I saw signs of male-ness but upon closer examination I don't think so, but there's something growing out of every junction, node, armpit, I'm pretty sure it's more petioles. Every time I think it's a pistil turns out it's a stipule instead. Oh well, patience is called for here!

CC main stem and cola

The grow! Tent is getting full, four may be a bit much!

Happy New Years Eve!!
Just a quick note. Watered with pH'd aftw pH 5.9 1 liter per plant. The buds on CC are looking more and more like a bud instead of a bundle of pistils. BDM look ready for flower nutrients, no real vertical growth for a few days, and BK is still bushing along nicely.
See you next year!!

Girls look great today. Glad the site is back up too!
I'll keep it short tonight and just put up a photo or two!

BDM is putting on weight.

CC is looking really sweet!

Feeding time in the garden today. Girls were thirsty and hungry too!!
To a gallon of aftw added 5.9ml CaMg+ fro 270ppm, 8.0ml Fusion Bloom for 490ppm, 4.0ml Resinator for 100ppm, 2.0ml Supercharger for 120ppm. CC got 2.2 liters BDM got 800ml each of this. To a gallon of aftw added 4.9ml CaMg+ for 265ppm, 4.0ml Supercharger for 185ppm, poured off 1 liter added 1.9ml Fusion Bloom for 180ppm, 1.0ml Resinator for 100ppm made 2 liters of this for the BDM so they received 1.8 liters total all this was pH'd to 6.1. To the rest I added 2.8ml Fusion Grow for 440ppm pH'd to 5.8 and fed to BK who is still vegging like crazy and still no sign of sex. It's a few hours later and I just checked on them, they seem great and maybe I'm seeing things but they look like the buds put on weight! Cannot wait to see them tomorrow!!
Overall the row is exceeding my expectations. When CC was barely growing I was content to think that id she just gave me a couple grams I would be happy. Well it should be more that a few grams, but wow, I did not think the buds were going to look like this, no way, not me, not my garden, But well, there they are!! Amazing!
Need to process tonight's pictures, I was just so excited to see the site back up I had to post in my journal! I'll post them in a bit.
