Congrats! That’s a nice looking light! Happy growing🪴

Lots of stuff. A whole strawberry patch, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, radish, dill, beets, garlic, onion, raspberries, peaches, blackberries, gooseberries, black currents and so much more. You need a novel to fit it all. Not too mention my orchard upstate with my delicious honey crisp apples, blueberries, potatoes and lots more stuff. Mushrooms, kombucha, cacti succulents, you name it and I probably have it somewhere 🤣🤣. Throughout my years, I noticed plants make more reliable and fulfilling friends than humans do. So I go grow crazy 🤷‍♂️

I’m over by NYC. I see it outside my window.

A long time ago, I built this Oak table from a giant tree stump. It used to be my living room table, but now i live in a studio and don’t have a living room. I decided to repurpose it and put it on stilts to make it comfortable to use while standing and underneath, I put eclipse curtains and some string and turned it into a drying/ seed starting tent. It worked really well until I was able to get the Cannatrol. Now I use the space underneath for storage. But MAN, did it serve it’s purpose for these years.

I’m keeping busy over here with a lot of different things.

Freebie Autos, First Outdoor Grow, Coco vs Peat, Pots vs boxes, Time Lapse Video. It’s all going down this summer.

In the 2×4 Tent from left to right,

Sweet Zombie Auto by Blimburn

She was a Halloween Freebie from NASC Day 53 of growth. Living soil with Coco as base in Fabric pot on AC infinity self-watering base

Pound Town Auto by Humboldt Seed Co

A CannaCoin Freebie from NASC Day 25 of growth. She just threw up her first V-shaped petals. Living soil with Peat as base in EarthBox

Cherry Pie Auto by B/w Label

Also a CannaCoin freebie from NASC Day 25 of growth. She’s got V’s all over the place and she’s a stretcher. Living soil with Peat as base in EarthBox

In the 2×3 Tent, I’m doing something special.

I’m testing some seeds for a breeder from GWE (Grow Weed Easy) Forums by the name of Going2Fast. I offered to make him a video time lapse of the grow and he was curious how they would grow in living soil environment, so he sent me about 20 seeds of 2 different cultivars.

Hot Cakez Auto by Going2Fast (The Hotz x Bessie Cake)

I believe the bessie cake is from Gas Reaper Genetics. I’ll need to ask him about The Hotz. Shes in Day 25 of growth. She has also started flowering. V’s all over the place. Living soil with Peat as base in EarthBox

Bloody Runtz by Going2Fast (Bloody Sunset x Razzberry Runtz)

Now from what I understand, somewhere down the line is a Pound Town from Humboldt in there. The planets must have aligned or something. She was a re-sow. The first seedling looked really unhealthy and wasn’t growing so I planted another seed right next to her and in 3 days it was bigger than the seed that was 13 days old so gave her a chop and left the new seedling Day 14 of life. She’s growing really fast. She’s only 11 days behind. Living soil with Peat as base in EarthBox

Outdoor-ish Grow

Acapulco Gold Auto by B/W Label

You guessed it a NASC freebie. She’s growing in a 24in 4gal planter outside my window. Sadly she only gets about 5 hours of direct light so she’s nothing to brag about but I will plant a Blue Dream photoperiod in a second planter on July 4th. Maybe she’ll do better but with VPD of 2.5 to 3.0kPa outside in the Garden State, nothing in my garden is having a fun time this year.

It’s definitely a little bit of both. I know for a fact heavy leaning sativas just don’t want to turn Amber. They’ll get milky and they’ll just stay milky while the rest of the plant degrades. If they were outdoors they’d be subject to the temperature swings to increases and decreases of moisture. Bugs mold mildew and all the other fun stuff that goes on in nature. That would definitely cause it to Amber up sooner but if it’s indoors and it’s happy and you’re giving it love and nutrients and water it’s going to stay as healthy as it can be for as long as it can be. Indica’s tend to amber off sooner than sativa dominant varieties. I remember my Tandy was supposed to be a 70-day cultivar and I was there until day 110 waiting for Amber trichomes and I gave up. She’s an amazing smoke, all milky, no amber but man she’s great for bedtime. There’s still so much to be learned about this amazing plant which we’re only going to start doing now, now that it’s legal.

Sometimes you just have such healthy plants that they’re able to resist that degradation of the trichomes. They will stay milky looooooong past the due date. If you want amber trichomes faster, you have to start selective stressing the plant. Maybe drought stress, heat stress (not recommended), cold stress, defoliation. This will trigger the plant to speed up that life cycle process. Though, I wouldn’t do this until I was sure she was done bulking up and just waiting on her to mature.

Living soil loaded with biology.

Down to Earth, Gaia Green, Build a soil, KIS Organic,RealGrowers amendments. It depends who has the sales for what I need. (Biochar, kelp meal, neem seed meal, insect frass, alfalfa meal, Dolomite lime, azomite, rock phosphate, langbeinite, gypsum, humic acid, crab meal, ag lime, oyster shell flour, Diatomaceous earth, bokashi, glacial rock dust, basalt Rock dust, and the kitchen sink 🤣)

I also do my own Vermicomposting in a VermiHut. Every 6 months, I get about 30lbs or more of A++grade castings full of life.

I’ve been reusing the same soil for 2 years now. With every grow things just seem to go better and better. Like aged wine. The soil just keeps getting better and better.

I do also have a whole Martha tent in my lung room…. Not much going on right now but i have like 8 grain spawn bags just waiting to be fully colonized. Pink and blue oysters, white button mushrooms, and I’m even growing some glow in the dark ones this time. Just for the pics

[terpyten]

I just do some light stretches or some yoga in my lung room, since it’s sealed, the co2 stays elevated and it shows in the plants.
