So long as you create a nice little environment for the young ladies they will respond well and make you proud at graduation
And thanks for the kind words.
Yes those were from one round of cropping (there have been a few) keeping me busy

Thanks man, it’s been a hell of a journey. From watching tons of tutorials on You Tube, buying the equipment in February, learning through the grow, to smoking my first cured bud with friends and seeing the looks on there faces.
It has been such a beautiful enriching process.
I’m still cropping, drying and curing.
The second generation are all in various stages of flowering and I am now on a perpetual grow garden. So I’ll be harvesting a plant or two every month from here on in.
What the anti cannabis machine/complex tries to keep hidden, is the fact that having/cultivating a garden can be a very relaxing/therapeutic pursuit.
So you get a double dose of therapy, one from the consumption of the crop, but lesser spoken of is the therapeutic effects of tending ones garden.
Very much enjoying the process.

I was toying with the notion of doing another grow thread for my Christmas grow, but growing and writing about it not to mention photo's is a lot of work, still mulling it over.
Nice bump

Yeh, it does take a fair bit of work i have done a few ,
i just finished one, i doubt i will do another for a couple of grows lol because of all the work and pictures
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/654784-og-raskal-fire-alien-kush.html
i normally only update every week, plants do not change too much in less than a week
once they budding anyway
but i have seen folk who do daily shots they do look nice once you get to see them all together
i am just too lazy to take daily shots lol once per week is enough for me
peace

I will mimic your method and will then write my report.Alright, so I had some extra money in the bank and wanted to do something different, a late Christmas present to myself.
So I thought long and hard about it and finally realised that I could buy a grow tent and equip it they way I wanted it with that money and have a hell of an adventure to.
I have thought about doing this for a while now. No more substandard weed is the first aim.
The second goal to produce some beautiful High Grade.
It was a no brainer.
I took a deep breath and crossed over to the dark side (well the green side).
And so my quest begun, to become an indoor Urban Farmer.
So I bought a Grow Tent Size: 165(L)x65(W)x180(H)cm

Potting Compost 11 Liters
&
Perlite
Small pots
Large trays
Small Garden Hoe and Fork
Ph Meter/Moister meter (cheap from garden store) not electric
Electric timer (I need another one maybe)
Thermometer/Hygrometer
First I started with a test run of trying to germinate seeds.
I had tried this before 20011 two seeds in water covered by a small box on my window sill (inside) didn't work.
That didn't instill me with much confidence, but I had a year of reading since then so I went for it with new knowledge.
Once again for this test run I used seeds from a bag of weed I'd had the previous year. They had been laying on a shelf by a window, with plenty sunlight for a year, lol.
I there were around ten seeds. I used the water in a glass method. This time I put the glass in a cupboard under the boiler in the kitchen. This cupboard is always warm. had them in water for a couple of days, nothing happened.
I transferred them to the wet tissue method, put them in a small box and put a the heating mat I had bought for that purpose under them.
And left them for a couple of days and forgot about them (a lost cause).
Went and bought some seeds from a local weed shop.
3 OG Kush
1 Super Silver Haze
1 Expert Silver Haze
I put them all in a glass of distilled water, each strain had it's own labeled glass.
1 day later Bingo 1 shoot appears then two, then three. All but one of the 5 sprouted. One of the OG Kush didn't make it.
I then for some unknown reason transferred them to the tissue method, opened the box to do so and found that one of the seeds ha sprouted in a big way. This seed I named Isaacs Dirt weed.
I kept this seed in tissue and added the other four.
after a further day of germination I potted all 5.
Isaacs Dirt Weed with it's long root popped up first (I have the root on video but didn't take a pic)
Then up came the 2 OG Kush later the same day 2 days after potting
Then nothing.
What happened to my other two babies they were still under ground fighting for life would they make it?
The Silver Haze and the Expert Haze. Two days later up they came shyly, much to my relief.
So 3 sprouted after two days and the last two sprouted after 4 days. Well I planted at midnight so you can take half a day of all those times.
