Journal for my first grow. 1000w, 8 plants, 3 strains Bodhi gear. Hempy. Let's do this

[Bbcchance]

All good. I'm down with more traffic. He's got some beef with Bodhis gear?

No beef, just too many awesome strains going at once and a few more in the hold, he planted his gooey medicine not realizing it was a high cbd and is having some regrets

Yeah expecting some fire and getting some Tylenol would be kind of depressing. Lol.

I think bodhi is a awesome breeder. The gooey medicine is a cross of good medicine and afgoo. They are testers and I couldn't find any information on it. Most likely because no one has tested them. I got two females from a 6 pack gifted to me from a good friend. I was exspecting to get a good 50/50 cbd/thc mix . They turned out to be one lanky like afgoo and I'm keeping that one . the other is short and favors the good medicine genitic's. I'm moving this plant into a grow bag to keep for it's medicinal value. I'm going to put something else in it's box that will fill in the space.

Bumped cause I'm an attention whore.

 

[BlueRidgeGrower]

Looking good!

What are all those holes in the soil for?

What are all those holes in the soil for?

I watered the medium when I transplanted them I'm just assisting in it getting dryer. My buckets have a reservoir in them at the bottom. More oxygen in the medium means more roots. It's a hand water flow to waste hydro system in Coco and perlite. They're called hempy buckets.

 

[Lachrymology]

Small little update. Everything's topped now it's just feed and ride out the rest of veg.

 

[MATTYMATT726]

Nice. Waiting for mine to take off. Got a 2 gal with 100% perlite and started seed straight in watered pot afyer taproot showed. Believe it poped up 2 weeks ago this sunday and still so tiny not even funny. Under a 6500k 42 watt cfl 2 inches away atm waiting for some growth.

 

[Lachrymology]

If you start it in a big pot like that roots will take quite some time to reach the reservoir. And if it's all perlite it won't retain much water in the medium itself. Should start them in a solo cup and transplant after the third set of leaves are developed.

 

[Lachrymology]

This plant is 3 weeks 3 day from seed.

 

[Lachrymology]

As is this one

 

[Lachrymology]

Little update. About one week out from flip (for most. The ones in the center and back center I'll let veg for a few days extra)

Since nobody mentioned it yet, about a pound.

Sexing in preflower isn't as easy as some people say. I flipped back and forth on some and I still don't know on one of them. I doubt you will be able to sex those until they are into flower.

You will probably get between 3 and 5, unless the die really rolls on the ends. Enjoy!

Yeah I'm expecting four hoping for five. As far as preflowers goes only one has one tiny unidentifiable preflower. Which is good as the males show earlier. I'd rather not see any preflowers 4 weeks in tbh

 

[Lachrymology]

2 of 8 into 12/12. Rest have been reduced to 18/6 from 24/0 and switched to 1000 w hps to start to acclimate for flower. Pics later this evening.

 

[Chef420]

Everything looks good. In my experience topping early delays sexing in veg. The reason I mention this is because in the future you might want to take advantage of your 1000w's total power and veg your plants longer to increase your yield.
I really dig the Hempy buckets. I'll have to try them. Nice job.

 

[Lachrymology]

I didn't want to veg too long this run because of the 3 gallon buckets and since I'm running 3 strains from seed I didn't want issues managing a balanced canopy. I never expected to be able to sex anything prior to flower with a 5 week veg (someone mentioned sexing preflowers, I didnt). Once I find a mother I'm going to run 5 gallons with a longer veg and top a bit later. I was somewhat concerned with height/flowering stretch just wanted to keep them more than manageable and find a nice girl to keep for now. I'll pop a few beans here and there to expand the mother/veg room for the future but this run was mostly get some harvested and figure out which ones are more nutes sensitive etc then go for weight in the future.
