Come As You Are
For this one, I'm switching EVERYTHING up.
The inaugural run will begin with genetics supplied by @HydroRed of 3Thirteen Seeds fame.
Each variety will be color coded which will make it easier for me to track individually in Google Calendar.
?= Greases Pieces S1
?= Apple Fritter x Citrus Milf
?= Peanut Butter Breath x Citrus Milf
I tried to get Dennis at the machine shop to cut my SF4k in half but he refused after he actually saw the light so..
I'll be using my Viparspectra XS1500 for the beginning of the grow and will add the Viparspectra XS1000 as I get into bloom and the tent fills out more.
This will take place in the cheapest 2x4 I could find on Amazon in 2021.
For air movement, I'll be using a AC Infinity Cloudline T-4 w/cheap carbon scrubber to exhaust the tent and the AC Infinity Cloudray S-6 courtesy of the June POTM.
Medium will consist of Promix HP amended with a small amount of organic compost, worm castings, and a bit of Dr. Earth Tomato & Herb 4-6-3 as well as some oyster shell flour and a pinch of diatomaceous earth.
I'll be using reverse osmosis water in lieu of tap water.
My feed program will follow the Dr. Earth Liquid Fertilizer schedule with the exception that I will skip a large chunk of veg and go almost straight to flower:

I've done organic gardening for quite a while and have used Dr. Earth in that respect but this will be my first venture into indoor organic cannabis.
So let's see how I'm doing so far.
The initial plan was to run 12 plants in 1-gallon plastic nursery pots. I've reduced that number to 9 as I suspect the tent may become a bit crowded even with the 9.
The beans, three of each, were dropped into water on the 5th of November at 3AM PST.[see above picture] Within 36 hours the AFCM had tails and the Greases Pieces were right behind them. Two of the PBB x CM had cracked and were beginning to develop tails but the third one was being stubborn. As of yesterday[Nov. 10, #3 still had not cracked so I dropped the 4th bean into water however, I just checked the status of #3 and it lookd likr it's on it's way to becoming a cannabis plant so I will probably end up with an extra PBB x CM.
Once the tails were out, I put the seeds into 2 inch peat cups filled with the medium.
As of today[Nov. 11] all nine seeds are in peat pots and eight are doing relatively well considering I just kinda bashed this stuff together.
My primary concerns are pot size and running out of root space too early and keeping the plants in check enough that the tent doesn't become wildly overgrown.[The AFCM tap has already come through the bottom of the peat pot and it's looking for someone to strangle]
Secondary concerns are: this only lasts as long as my F-I-L stays alive. As of September '22, I am his full-time caregiver 22/7[the wife picks up some of my slack here and there, lol]. Once he passes, we are scrambling to figure out what our plan is. But to put things in perspective, my wife has been 'assisting' him since his stroke in 2017. In 2019, after he broke his hip, she moved in full-time. In 2020, he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and put on hospice where he's remained since. He's currently bed-ridden[fell again, broke ribs] and we all went through a bout of Covid in August.These Greatest Generationers are built like fuckin' tanks.
Anywho, the plan is to complete the 3Thirteen run, then start the next, which I figure will be a bit of stuff from the POTM prize pack. If things are looking optimistic in February, I'm putting six Purple Caper autos in pots and tossing those outside, probably in sets of two for February, March, and April. Guess we'll see how that goes.
some purple carrots I grew?♂️:
And the latest addition to my genetics library courtesy of @blue_collar_beans, tyvm @JGG and @Bubby's n da lab!
I think that covers everything right now.
Oh, I'm using the high-CFM kit only because I have it and I don't want the tent door flopping on the plants every time I unzip the tent
Thanks for stopping by!
