Hello!
Just an intro because I can't find the "intro" thread -
My first grow was around this time last year - but I've held off on posting anything til now as I'm doing a 2nd grow now a year later which I'll track/post about separately. Macro photography is a hobby of mine so hope you guys don't mind some up-close bud shots and trichome shots.
This was my first grow and just for me as a light smoker. I've still got most of the yields left!
So don't blame me for having low yields and making some newbie mistakes - I've got more than i know what to do with!
So anyway here goes:
Strains: Purple Ryder and Little Cheese Auto. I attempted to grow 2 of each. My pictures will be numbered.
I'm not sure the name is correct on Purple Ryder, but the supplier's website where I got the seeds from said it was bred by Mossy. I would love it if someone could tag this breeder in this thread as I think I have some nice eye candy photos for this strain!
Germination date: 19 Sept 2015 (nearly a year ago)
Harvest Dates: Purple Ryder-02 December (day 74'ish). Little Cheese-13 December (day 85'ish)
Location: Gauteng province, South Africa.
Climate: Subtropical Highland. Essentially we have cool sunny winters. Spring starts right about now (August-September) and temperatures peak around 20-25C in daytime. Low humidity. Rains daily from late spring through summer, but for this grow there was a severe drought/no rain.
Indoor/Outdoor grow: Ya, this was my first grow. I chose both! I let the sun do it's work every day and brought the plants in at night and let some artificial lights do some more work on them every day from 6pm-10pm.
Pots/substrate: I made the mistake of choosing small'ish pots @ about 1.5 gallons. Oh well, it kept the plants small like how I wanted. I used coco peat 70% + vermiculite 15% and perlite 15%.
I have about 80 decent photos to share that span the entire grow, so I hope people don't mind if I start by just leaving a fun one and some of the first few and post the rest of my grow over the next few days since it's late and time to turn in!!
Cheers,
Loam
