Evening all,

Well... getting a super late start this season. I had a bunch of killer strains planned for 2017. I got a cutting from a m8 of mine I stupidly didn't quarantine and my babies in veg ended up getting root aphids. I have no one to blame but myself for that. Either way, I tore down everything, sanitized, and had to start fresh. Ended up having to go out of town for family issues as well which delayed the re-start further.

After everything above... I ran into some serious nutrient lockout from a combination of things. I believe it was a PH issue, combined with some over watering, and intense exposure from HID lighting on the wee ones. The plants basically stopped growing entirely, got super yellow/brown, looked absolutely horrible. I've since corrected this issue, adjusted PH, replanted into larger containers, and dialed my MH down to 300w instead of the 600w I was running. I had a good distance from the canopy but I suppose the intensity was way to strong even high above the plants.

Popped 15 beans (all BOG's gear)
5x Bogglegum
5x Blue Moon Rocks
5x Lifesaver

15/15 Germination (100%)
1x Mutant (I killed off)
1x Twin (still alive)

Medium: Happy Frog
Nutrients: Cal-Mag, Guano Teas (extremely light dosage)

I'm an OMMP grower here in the state of Oregon. I grow just for my wife & myself. I'm hoping there are no more hangups. We had some nice sun for a change here in Oregon so I've been gradually introducing the plants to this natural sunlight whenever possible. I'm expecting to plant outdoors at the end of the month, or possibly early next month. The plants are now outdoors (in their containers) 100% outdoors. I'm getting them more and more acclimatized to being out in the sun.

The plants start their days undercover and get moved under direct light for a few hours. I move them back undercover in the evening. After next week I'll be giving them direct light without breaks. As mentioned above, I'm hoping to have them in the ground by the end of the month, or early next month.

Got some teas started...

1gal water
1/4c EWC
2 tbsp 9-3-1 Guano
3ml liquid kelp extract
1 tsp superthrive
1 tbsp molasses

I will be diluting to 4-5 gallons. I have some apple trees, cherry trees, and blueberry bushes that are ready for a snack as well. If nothing else, I'll dilute further and go for a foliar feeding. I was enjoying a small bowl of over-cured lemon OG while enjoying the weather.

3/5 holes filled... more to come. Waiting for confirmation of sex on a few plants. My end goal is to have 5 plants this season and the rest will go to some m8s growing out here, or back into the veg cabinet for winter.

I'm starting later than you, don't feel bad. Heck, I've started later than this and had a great year in 2014. Checkout that thread in my sig if you want to see what you can get from starting in late July. It's pretty impressive for such a late start.

Long overdue for an update. Topped the ones in the ground a second time, and waiting on the pre-flowers on a couple more in the pots. I topped the ones in the pots way to early and I think the stress of the topping & being rootbound caused a delay in the preflowers.

Stupid mistake, but hey, I'll learn from this. I haven't grown from seed in years, and I'm a bit rusty.

We have something like 10 days of sun brother! Plants have been growing incredibly fast under this sun. At least a few inches in the last week.

I'm not a huge fan of hot weather, but the plants are definitely loving it! If the plants are happy I'm happy as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

Last update for 1-2 weeks unless something interesting happens. Plants are enjoying all the sun we've been getting here in the PNW. A few in the 5 gallon pots had a little heat stress today (100F) but are otherwise healthy.
