Hi all,
I had already started a Summer Grow log covering the 5 strains I'm currently running, before news broke of this Newbie Bud Contest. I will still be running that log for anyone interested in following. This log will be following the 4 Goji OG plants by Bodhi Seeds for the summer competition. All 4 of these plants were started from seed and broke ground on 5/31.

This grow is being done in soil, seeds started in BlackGold Seedling Mix. The plants have now been transplanted into larger pots using Roots Organics Greenfields with added perlite, vermiculite and earthworm castings.

Plants are being grown in a 60x60x80 grow tent.

Lighting being used is a HPS/MH switchable balast with 1000w HPS and MH bulbs. Using a air cooled reflector hood.


These are shots of the Goji at just over a week old.




Around day 12 started experiencing some issues with a lot of the seedlings. Some of them wilting and some of them yellowing on lower leaf sets. My initial reaction to their appearance was over-watering or possibly a nute deficiency. There were also some temperature issues from day 9-12, it was too cold in the room, temps in the low 60's sometimes dipping below at night. They were also watered from cold water sitting on the concrete floor. I believe this had caused some of the stress but the plants were still showing the stress. Being that at the time the plants were not even 2 weeks old, I see in no way it being a nutrient issue. The problem ended up being the seedling mix, it was not draining evenly or properly, even with added perlite. I also think the PH from the peat moss was not agreeing with the little seedlings.



These were taken at about 2 weeks all 4 of the Goji. The lighting in these pictures isn't very good but you can see some of the wilting and yellowing.

Individual shots of the Goji at 2 weeks


Goji OG #2 - This one just had a little wilt to it also starting to smell like a skunk.



Goji OG #1 - This and #2 have the most vigor a little yellow and slight wilt.



Goji OG #3 - This one had the most yellowing as you can see on bottom leaf.



Goji OG #4 - This is the runt of the group already starting to stink.

All plants were transplanted into bigger pots and a better soil mix on 6/22 just over 3 week old.

Due to a very hectic week, the transplanting had been put off 4 days from when I had originally planned. The stress my seedlings had suffered had slowed their growth down some, transplanting sooner would had probably prevented that, thus is life. Sometimes I wish I could spend all my time tucked away taking care of my plants, but work and responsibilities suck sometimes, I'm sure everyone can understand.

All plants were moved into larger pots, using Roots Organic Greenfields soil mix with added, perlite, vermiculite and earthworm castings.

Today, 2 days following the transplant all plants are recovering well. Most are showing little to no stress from the transplant. Most have perked up considerably and seem very happy in their new homes.

Hopefully all the plants will recover quickly and get back the vigor they had showed during their first week. They are not quite as large as they should be right now for their age.

I will have new pictures up soon. Had initially planned to take photos during the transplant and get those all posted up. Well transplant turned into a nightmare, numerous different trips to garden shop, moldy bag of soil, as well as some other issues I wont bore anyone with. That being said I will try my best to get new pictures up for everyone a little later this week. More pics coming no later than this weekend, hopefully much sooner but work responsibilities will dictate how much time I have.

Hey Kalyx,

I'll be pulling up a seat for the show.

Thank you sir.

Things should start to get interesting here in the next few weeks once flowering begins.

Very excited for these Goji and their potential. Most of them have a great stink to them already.

I am excited to see how the Goji turns out for you. I literally ordered a pack yesterday cause I just loved the frost I saw in her picture.

Never had Bodhi seeds before so I am excited to try a new breeder. Is this your first run of Bodhi or have you run their other gear?

This is my first official run of Bodhi gear. I have sampled a number of his finished products before. Those had impressed me and led me to discovering him as a breeder. Has been a long time coming to finally have the chance to run his gear, so really excited.

The problem is I want to try so many of his crosses, making the decision process on a purchase and what to drop in the dirt first very tough.

[AlbertMarkovski]

Nice. Excited to see the results.

Everything is coming along great since the transplant on 6/22. All plants recovered quickly are very happy and showing lots of vigor.

The stress has slowed down their growth, they are a few days behind where they should be. That being said, all plants have recovered fully and growth is beginning to explode. VERY HAPPY!

If all goes to plan they will be topped with in the week, then plan on starting 12/12 about a week later.


Should have a new round of pictures up a little later this evening.

[Kalyx]

Not sure why these pictures loaded sideways but here they are.

All 4 of the Goji OG at day 24. You can see they are a little stunted but doing much better growth is really starting to explode. These pictures were taken 48 hours after transplant.
