Hello!
My name is Easy but you can call me anything you feel comfortable with (my friends know me as MyohoDisco). I'm a Chanting Grower here on icmag and have been a member on and off lurking since February of 2004, reason for the name changes have been: OG Bust (when RC went down, glad alot of people are ok), and my grow last year was discovered by a neighbor because the dank I was growing stunk very much! OldPink and DG took care of me so now I'm just a bunch of Guest posts, and slowly reintegrating myself back into the fold, time permitting of course.
So, earlier this year I started a very nice grow thanks to some chronic clones I got from a friend and then I was fortunate enough to get authentic Abusive OG kush and East Coast Sour Diesel Clones which I have smoked in the past and have enjoyed very much (OG is my favorite hands down, very strong though easy to Overdo it... lol). Unfortunately I lost my first grow, after taking months to veg big bushes which ultimately produced more thrips than I have ever seen in my life and I was forced to get rid of everything in order to protect my future investments and it was really really difficult. I am a very positive person and destroying my crop due to negligence and lack of knowledge with respect to thrips was a mistake I'm working hard to avoid in the future so after I got rid of the infected promix and pots etc. I started again from seed at the start of July and continued to let the veg. till mid August, I'd say right now I'm at 21 days flower.
This grow is the first in my attempt to become perpetually productive, I started another set of seeds early august and they are doing very well at the moment.
So the temps in my grow area were above 90 degrees Fahrenheit and I had to use an airconditioner for all of July and August and could only veg with a 600w HPS Galaxy ballast with a hortilux bulb and now I am using an aircooled 1000w Hortilux HPS on a light rail in a large aircooled reflector. We have 21 plants total and the foods I have been using are as follows:
Pure Blend Grow
Pure Blend Pro (Grow and Bloom {hydro not soil})
Sweet (citrus)
Calmag
Liquid Karma
Hydroguard
Hygrozyme
Europonics fossil fuel
Powder Mychorizal bacteria from the hydrostore (little grey powder in a clear screwtop jar)
Earth Juice Bloom, Catalyst, Meta-K (have not used yet just a lite dose at the start of flower)
the cheaper equivalent of Bcuzz Root and Grow boosters by Greenfuse
Liquid Budswel Guano Tea (worst smelling stuff I ever used, raw fecal explosion describes the smell of this)
Nitrozime
DynaGrow Silca something (i use this silicon stuff as a ph up)
SuperThrive (ran out of thrive alive)
so I spent alot of money on nutes for my last grow because I wanted to make the tastiest medicine possible and its so many additives because in my last grow, babba suggested I use Liquid Karma, Bonzo suggested I use Europonics Fossil Fuel (for the humic acid), I been dying to use some Hydrozyme to see what the hype is about, the guano was purchased to "enhance flavor and enhance the microherds diet and needs", Nitrozime is expensive and I wanted to waste 40 dollars on a little bottle hoping it would help produce better meds somehow and SuperThrive is something I wanted to use in veg to see if it helps and if you use it on some and not other the ones who have Superthrive stretch quicker and develop more leaves from seed.
This summer I had some bright spots and smoked some really good herbs thanks to some close friends that I appreciate very very much, but unfortunately I'm back on the brick. Today a friend that recently finished a grow and I gifted a few seeds 3 years ago gave me an 1/8th of his stash which he grew with MG soil and ferts and it tastes chemmy but its better than the mexi-seedful-buds so YES, I am very very motivated to grow great pot and get past this.
The strians I am growing right now are actually from pot I have smoked via purchasing over the past couple years, I have kept seeds sourced from Bubba Kush buds (LA), OG Kush Buds (from Vermont), and haze (who knows? anything sativa-ish is called "haze" but these seeds were from really really good "metallic tasting/old school" haze). I also have some sour creeks from StrainSearcher from way back in the day which I will grow soon, "I still drool sometimes looking at the old pics Strain!". I was also lucky enough to get some Jack Herer seeds which I am growing now (had 30 and ended up with 12 females) and my oldest seeds White Widow (had 20 and got 5 females). So 17 females total, and they all look different and some are really showing alot of resin early on. The Jack Herer Seeds and White Widow seeds were generic beans sold from one of the original online seedbanks (off hightimes magazine maybe NLseeds.com or something like that) that would send seeds to the USA before Overgrow.com but I can't even remember the name, I just remember it took about 3 months but they finally came and I ordered 50 of each, at that time it was under 250 american dollars for 100 beans, now the prices are so so expensive I'm forced to grow these but I'm positive with my developing good karma, I'm bound to smoke some great gems in the near future.
I have been using the promix (with the orange letter that has beneficial bacteria, the green letters are Beneficial Fungi added in I think) from the hydrostore, my last two grows I used Sunshine Mix #4 but I could not find it this time, and Reverse Osmosis water. I stopped using my RO unit because for every gallon of water I was wasting about 3-4 gallons of water and it took about an hour and 45 minutes to fill a 5 gallon pail, so I have just been using tap water which is 80ppm here and the ph is 7.30 which goes down with the use of PBP (works better than GH or Floranova for me, but I have seen people do amazing with just using GH products) I raise ph with the DynaGrow Silica and the Liquid Guano lowers the PH alot.
So we started with little 4 inch pots till they became root bound and you could see the little pots drying up daily so I repotted into growbags (I'm still using the 4 inch pots for the "Hazes" and will show them with the others). When I did that first repotting, I was fortunate enough to get some buds from a goodfriend and bubble hash which I stretched out for almost three weeks and didn't repot them even as planned so some were in 1 gallon, 2 gallon or 3 gallon grow bags, the majority were in 2 gallon bags and the ones in 3 gallon bags have been doing great. The One gallonbag plants have not made as many pistils (little hair clusters is a better description) as the others at this point and I realize its from being rootbound so I went to the hydrostore and spent another 100 bucks on promix, pots & pans, and some more grow bags for future grows and will repot shortly after I post this and I will return with photographs of a before and after repot at day 21 because I need the biggest possible yield and I don't care if the buds take long because of this repot (the 1 and 2 gallonbags into 5 gallon pots, I might leave the 4 plants that are in three gallon growbags so they will be my first smokeable batch, sans repot induced stress, or I might not) but I feel it (the repot in flower) must be done!
If you think I'm crazy please say so, your opinions mean alot because I have always tried to share as best I can online in the hopes of growing great pot and in the past I really have made some special buds which me and my friends have enjoyed alot. So this time I'm trying my best to show what a Chanting Grower can do!
I'll be hanging more often in chat as this grow and the follow-up grows continue (We must become perpetual because its hard spending any money on buds, times are rough!). I would like to send shout outs to Mrs.Babba- my sister from another mother, Babba thanks for the outdoor thread and the great support, Bonzo- dude you rock, thanks for all the support and love throughout the years, Blazeonup- thanks for the advice alot, Hillie- thanks alot for everything brother, Baccas- thanks so much for being you and keep on chanting!, Wagsy- thanks for the help with growing and computer problems your a gem!, Tomhill - thanks for the PTK and SCBB I always wanted to try and grow that salmon creek bigbud, and thanks to TK where-ever you are the heri is out of this world!
I'll put in more details as we go forward, please ask about anything I missed out on, I'm feeling groovy off this smoke today (making and toking a mexi/miracle grow inspired semi-good salad!) and hopefully by november/december my medication statement will be something like "I'm smoking a jack herer, white widow salad with a dash of Bubba and OG!"
Be back in a few!
