I'm going to be showing quite a few strains this time out and I'm going to be using a new growing method for me.
The lineup- Elemental Seeds - True OG, Richard Williams Seeds Back to the Congo, Barney's Farm Cookies Kush, GHS Co. Flower bomb Kush and K Train, S-a-n-n-i-e-s Seeds Jack Herer, Malberry Seeds Swazi Gold, Strawberry Cough cross, Blueberry/ Bubblegum Cross via Golden Tree.
The new growing method is very simple and that is the main reason I'm trying it. I use a soilless mix that I make consisting of 2 parts Peat Moss OMNI Certified, 1 part Pearlite OMNI Certified, 1 part Vermiculite, not sre if it had the OMNICert. on the bag or not but I think it did. I was fortunate to find the different parts at Home Depot. I had to have Vermiculite shipped to my HD store but that process was a breeze.
This is going to take a long time to write. I'm getting easily distracted because I'm smoking some of my 3 month cured Subcool Seeds Killer Grape that I grew with Nectar of the Gods nutrients and it is absolutely Killer! Easily the best I've ever grown. I'll be getting to that later on with some photos to show you how it turned out.
The problem with trying to write when I'm sailing on Killer Grape seas is that I really want to pay attention to the great music I'm hearing on KMHD out of Portland Oregon. It is especially good this morning. I highly recommend you check it out. Very distracting though.
Back at it. In that soilless mix I add 1 tablespoon of Lime per gallon of mix. I put the mix in 1 gallon pots for veg. after germinating and growing for a couple of weeks in small pots; some for only a week in the small pot and using the same soilless mix. In each 1 one gallon pot with thoroughly soaked and left to drain off mix, I add a little less than 1 tablespoon of Osmocote plus fertilizer mixed in thoroughly in the top 2-3 inches of soil and then transplant.
Quite a different way to go after using six or seven bottles of Nectar of the Gods nutrients for my last grow. I think the nutrients are fantastic and they gave me the best results I've ever had but I did not enjoy having to use so many bottles of nutrients to make my nutrient solution. For most people the great results would outweigh any inconvenience of the measuring and mixing and they would be wise to do so but I didn't like all the mixing, measuring and cleaning up of the mess I would inevitably make. So I went with as simple as I could this time out.
I could have gone with a Miracle Grow type soil with nutrients already in it which I have used in the past with great results growing veggies, flowers, pot-yep first ever grow and they turned out great and houseplants but I wanted a little better quality. The problem with buying soils like that from the big box dealers is that they don't store it properly so results can be all over the board.
If you have a bag that is out in the sun on a pallet for a couple of months, like the big box stores do, most if not all of the nutrient pellets have opened up and leached into the soil making a very nutrient dense mix. Less time out in the sun and you get less of that but you never know how long or in what conditions your particular bag has been stored. I've always had good luck but I do know results are variable with those products. That's why I bought the Osmocote pellets which where stored in a climate controlled environment inside the store. I know the condition of my nutrient pellets from the get go.
This grow could be a disaster but we will see. To throw yet another monkey wrench into this grow I'm going to try to grow most of these in the 1 gallon container all the way to harvest. The Swazi 's which can take up 12 weeks, they will go into either 2 or 3 gallon pots just before the end of veg. I'm doing more of a sea of green type of grow; first time for that too. Could be a train wreck, it could work out great, either way it should be interesting.
I'm not making any promises on how often I'll be posting, hopefully once a week but it could be once every three weeks. I'm taking it easy and keeping it simple on this one.
The 5 photos are of my Killer Grape - the photos with a group of buds and my Super Lemon Haze, also from my last harvest. The SLH was equally as good as the Killer Grape and lived up to it's vaunted reputation
I'll post a thorough review of both right here down the road. I'll post a photo of the grow room right now after this post.
