My love for growing!

I had a place to grow for 3 years something came up and I had to move my grow, from my house to a friends garage. But when I moved it was a whole different op! Nothing went right and my friend would never help out but wanted half, and also bumped heads with what I wanted to accomplish.

Long story short I tried for 2 years growing with him in a little ass garage trying to share all yield! Coming from my house getting the numbers I was getting off one plant I felt it wouldn’t hurt at all! Boy was I wrong.. went from 10 oz plants to never seeing over 3 zips off one plant! Didn’t take me long to figure out why but after dumping money in this junk spot we was both broke keeping up
With our smoking habits.. I was willing he wasn’t.

So this summer before we shut it down I took some clones, to keep my babies alive... I only took holy grail, two fire phenols and also a cookie bag seed clone. In total 3 clones..

Now since I took them in the summer and I wasn’t rdy to set up my tents I stuffed them into my armoire with a junk cfl light they stood in red solo cups for 3 months in the confined space with no fan no airflow and I was only giving them water not even ph’d

I was kind of in a rough spot so didn’t really have a plan... now this first run is going to be with all old nutes scraps of what’s left over.. basically this grow was only to help get back up and running!


I’m going to post some pics but remember these plants were so neglected for months! So I had to get them super happy before taking clones or putting into flower! Also this was recently so I just grabbed another bulb changed the one in my hood and the date on my bulb was 9/16. When I mean nothing went right for 2 years you can tell with the light .. I would never use a bulb after 2 runs! So bare with me but I still think I got okay numbers with that old ass bulb and old nutes.. After This I will be doing my first journal..

Here is where they was held captive for 3 months with only water feeds from time to time!

Here is the holy grail my second pheno smells of gas when finished! Right now she is looking like death is near but things changed fast.. this was day one of the love after a transplant out of the red cups! Into a 1liter because I was trying to keep them small enough to get back healthy before they grow too tall! My only intent was keeping them alive I didn’t really know
If I was going to grow again and didn’t want to lose them I’ve had these for 3+years.. you all no the feeling...

That pic was August 21st here is a pic of same plant 5 days later! Picked off the shitty Looking leaves after I gave her first feed in 3 months. Beside the recharge I had left she got no food at all!

Here are the other two clones 5 days after transplant! Make sure To look at how bad they are how they are not uniform at all but soon will be! These two clones are the taller two they are fast to grow tall and not bushy.. they love to stretch but let’s try and keep them short! Side note at this point I’m using old nutes and about 30 percent less of what I would be using! This is a broke mans grow at this point!

Really stretchy plants, get the lights closer.

yea im guessing you didnt read anything lol but anyway lights were super close at this point prob 2-3 inches away its a t5! they stretched from having 3 clones under a small cfl for 3 months in a armoire with no care! but stay tuned i will be updating this thread thoughout the day

This pic was sept 5th Grail 2 Grail 1cookie not sure what you call this technique but as you can see the lowers are catching up
And the top isn’t growing tall as much.. this is 15 days after giving them some love!

Some milkbone I was smoking on at the time! Grabbed a half a plate and this one bud there was a beautiful seed! I have that in flower now! It’s funny how I can get a whole zip or two and love the bud with about a gram left I find a seed it’s almost like the plant says here you go! Fingers crossed she don’t herm on me..

@promedz - your grow cab is so much more stylin' than any tent! I'm definitely following along.

i love to grow too even though im new. sucks for me though cause i live with my parents and they are super anal about me growing they only allow it because we can grow medicinally for legal with license. my mom said she won't renew her license though even though her doctor told her she should be using cannabis for her pain but she doesn't want to. she has cancer and they prescribe her all sorts of medicine and she just complains that she is in constant pain of some sort.

eventually my state will legalize because they could highly benefit from all the tax revenue it will bring in but for some reason they keep postponing it hell i wouldn't be surprised if we were the last state to even legalize recreationally. synthetic drugs here are more problematic then anything

sorry to hear that.. hope she feels better

September 17th no topping or cutting down anything I just let them grow while taking off the top leaves daily I only did this on the 2 plants that grow super tall it slows them down a lot! but you can see them starting to bush out a little my grail 2 always bushes out on its own.. this is almost a month after showing some love! Remember the goal was to make them happy to take clips then flower them asap! But at this point I’m happy the way they were going..

Back to August 26 I forgot this one is a exodus kush clip I took from week 2 flower and left it in armoire here is the only pic I found of it looking shitty it was hard taking pics of these plants at first lol not what I’m use to at all! My veg is normally lush green and no deficiencies ever! But remember I’m trying to get back to where I was ans this is my road to coming back

When I transplanted the 3 above I wasn’t sure of growing out the exodus so I left it in a red cup! But showing it love it’s bouncing back here is a pic at sept 17th.. definitely a little nitrogen toxicity going on! But hey I only had a one part feed at this time and it’s high in nitrogen so I just gave her water next couple feedings..

ty me too she was given 1 year to live if they don't find a bone marrow donor. hopefully she still lets me grow afterwards i don't think she really cares that i grow more so she is worried that i will abuse it. i enjoy growing cannabis though just the smells and looks of the buds is nice to me. plus other plants i would love to grow i can't due to hotter climates. if i don't spend money growing i'll spend it on my 3rd hobby just collecting anime figurines it's more costly though $500+ just for 1.

September 25th almost time to transplant.. I only kept it in a small container and was going to put in number 5 for flower! Normally I flower in 7 or 10s but this was a broke mans grow so I had to flip these as once they was happy enough to take clips almost there..:

Oct 10 almost time to clone

Oct 17th is when I transplanted into 5gallons and took clips off them.

Was about to update but lost my pics from oct 17 to nov 7th but as I remember the plants was put into flower soon after the 17th..
