Grow 1 Day 2 - here we go again
It's been ages since my last grow... After almost a year's break, I got 'back on the horse' at the end of last year, harvesting just over 8 ounces of Dutch Passion 'Banana Blaze' and just under 11 ounces of Sawney's 'Nightmare' 
Not a bad result considering I switched the lights off for a full 7 days during week 5/6.... I got a bit panicky because of a rental inspection
We had another inspection last week, the next is due in 3 months.... TIME TO GET A FUCKING GROW ON!!!
As soon as she left, I planted 4 seeds:
I covered the pots with clingfilm, left them in the dark sitting on a warming mat at 21°C, and 3 days later the Lemon Kix popped up, followed next morning by Night Queen, then Condemned and finally the Boomstick. I removed the clingfilm, left them near a sunny window for the first day to green up, and set up the tent.
That night I shoved them in the tent, all under one Skyline 400 LED at max height, which I will leave on 24/7.
Here they are then, day 2...
Right about NOW (my Funk Soul Brothers) is the best time of year to grow, it's 'Winter' so daytime temps are up in the mid 20°Cs, and it drops to 10-15°C at night, minimal rain so the humidity levels are manageable.
Come Summer (Oct till Feb), it will be 30°C plus in the day, not dropping below 20°C at night, and the humidity shoots up.... life in the Tropics eh?
It's just not worth growing then, as the plants get heat stress the whole time and I end up losing an ounce or so due to mould.... always in the chunkiest of Colas which is soul destroying.
That's why I'm growing 4 instead of my usual 3 plants this time... should keep me going for most, if not, all of the year.... I'm hoping for somewhere between 30 and 40 ounces of prime bud, so expect a monster or two!
I'll keep the Girls in these Solo cups till around Day 12ish, then transfer them to 22L airpots with a Skyline 400 each, for the rest of the grow.
So do please pop by from time to time, and let me know what you think. There's a few jars lying around so help yourself!
Big thanks and love to @Sawney_bean and @Antonio_DutchPassion for providing the seeds, and to Muddy at LED Hydroponics for the lighting.
Thank you and I'll see you soon!

As soon as she left, I planted 4 seeds:
- Dutch Passion 'Night Queen' - I love this hard hitting Indica, and I was gutted to let one die during my last grow when I switched off those lights
- Dutch Passion 'Lemon Kix' - I grew 8.6 ounces of this super strong, super tasty gear back in 2022 and I've been hankering for some more ever since.
- Sawneys Beans 'Condemned' - Mango Smile Livers x Sour Orange Diesel Kush should yield some seriously fruity buds!
- Sawneys Beans 'Boomstick' - Gelato x Deadite Kush (and Deadite is Kandy Kush x Strawberry Cheesecake) so I'm expecting some sticky sweet delights!
