Running with scissors
Member
So, I'm new to this forum. I like this site. It's easy to navigate and there's lots of interesting posts and looks like a lot of help if you ask. After some research, ILGM was helpful, I grew my first plant over the winter last year. Yup, I'm Dirt Farmer. Im 54 and have R R Multiple Sclerosis.
Shits way to expensive to buy at State compassion centers if you're trying to survive on disability. A friend gave me a couple of CH seeds. He calls it "Cheese" for obvious reasons. I grow and start a lot of different plants from cuttings. The harder the better. My friend says I have a super power. These are my first impressions of my first grow which was a huge success.
I didn't use a seed starter soil. I started it in the soil I was going to grow in. I had to correct legginess (stretch) because my light (I use a led clip wand that has 4 light arms) for seedlings, it was not close enough. I was worried about burn, but figured out they don't throw alot of heat. When I transplanted, I gave the roots a good dusting of Root Magic that was recommended by a YouTuber. Shit worked so good I thought about snorting a few lines, maybe get my legs to work. I used a 3 gallon grow bag with Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil.
I should have used a bigger grow bag. Although I didn't run into any problems, the plant got pretty rootbound to the point it was taking forever to get it watered. When I water, I water until it comes out the bottom. It had to be done every 2 days at the end of the grow. I also topped it almost immediately after I transplanted it. With no adverse effects and pretty much no growth stoppage.
I started a Ph adjusted, soluble fertilizer routine every other watering, Fox Farm Grow Big. The plant at one point was taking almost a gallon at a time when I watered. I like to really wait. I use this technique with just about all my plants. It actually makes the plants roots look for water, thus a better root system. At the beginning of flowering, I ended up with White Flies.
Nothing really to do about them except try to control the herd. I think Neem Oil is overated (I wouldn't use on a consumption plant, anyway) and the yellow sticky traps work just ok. So, I just squished them as I saw them under or on top of the leaves and hoped for the best. The final product was not affected, nice. My friend let me borrow his Jewelers loop to look at those tiny, weird, clear mushrooms that seemed to be growing on my flowers and leaves. There were lots! I had patience before chopping it. There's really alot of confusing information about tri combs and harvesting. The one thing I got out of all the information I read was amber is better for certain CBD and its effects. Don't fret, I didn't wait that long. I have a problem with THC giving me a panic attack, so I had thought about waiting longer but decided to just try to build my tolerance. I chopped it with just a smattering of amber tri combs and full onset of frosty milky. My friends who smoke all the time gave it approval.
