Well, here we go folks! I'm finally getting my RIU act together & posting my own grow show properly. I ignorantly posted my grow in the middle of RDCOSTAS
thread and oh mama, did I catch hell. And properly so of course!
So a little background: I'm 70,
retired fast food manager,
(hence, the Burger Boss), my 3 passions in life would be my 4 year old grandson, growing the most excellent smoke that I possibly can,
& online poker. And in that order!
I've had grows of every possible description from "I'm ashamed to show this to anyone!" to "OMG,
did I do that?", over the last 45 years.
So this year i'm doing a patio grow
off the side of a mobile home on an e/w orientation I'm at 38 degrees latitude. The 12X38 patio is completely enclosed on all sides, only access is from in the house.
Ordered the seeds from the "Attitude seed bank", very good to deal with BTW. I went for all feminised seed because I hate to deal with male plants!
The lineup:
Great White Shark and Lemon Skunk from Greenhouse seed,
LSD from Barney's Farm, & Super Skunk, Thai Super Skunk and Diesel from G 13 Labs.(the G 13 seeds were freebies!). I started on 3/28
with the GWS and LSD. I start seeds directly in their first growing medium, no water cracking, wet paper towels, nothing! (cannabis has been germinating its seeds for tens of thousands of years without such help). I prefer to use a coconut
husk based 4" pot with MG organic as the medium. I followed with the Diesel on 4/4, and the 3 Skunks, Thai, Lemon, & Super on 4/19.
They were all in their 10 gallon tubs by 5/18. I used Super soil, MG potting soil, & Lowes house brand
potting mix, (needed 180 gallons so I shopped around lol). There have been battles with white fly and spider mites. So far i'm pretty well winning, but the mites are tenatious little bastards, i've gone through
every bloody concoction, remedy,
and cockamamie fix you can think of, from "garlic/tabasco brew" to Azatrol, and a little alcohol/H2O spray in the mix. And they STILL come back! shit! keep on truckin'.
I did some cloning the first week of June, really didn't need any more plants because of major space issues, but wanted to try my home made Areo-cloner. It worked ok, but needs refinement.
I'm posting some pix that are sequential from start to now, most are dated and I tried to get the strain tag in the picture.
I guess thats it for now, (I should hope so you old windbag! lol).
Glad to answer any questions and can take fair criticism well.
Good luck and good grow to all.........BB

HELLO BurgerBoss
Do you have the white roof always on,or do you open it to
plants
The sativas continue to smack into the ceiling in spite of my cutting them back 3 & 4 feet at a time! I will try to pull the top 6 or 8 branches down with floral tape. But I fear it still may be no good because the top stump(Lemon Skunk), that was cut down to 40 ' from ceiling is now 18' from ceiling. My 2 "mostly" indicas, GWS & Diesel are starting to flower and hopefully will put the grow brakes on, lol. They are both 11 feet tall. They're skirts suffer from the over crowding. I really need to get under there and do some major pruning. Sadly, 200/250 potential clones of 6 excellent strains are "MULCH".
