The Hippie Grows...

Sounds like an awesome goal. Bonsai moms are something I'm very interested in. Space limitations suck. @Schwaggy P keeps 40 moms in a 4x4. Leaves them all in 5" square pots. Not sure if he got that thread up before he went AWOL but nice space saving process he follows.
Looking forward to following along with your grow. I dig what your doing.

Uhh. I grow outdoor only at this point and organic, don't have lockout issues or many others besides bugs and a lil pm now and then.

I bring them out in the morning and put them back inside when the sun sets God bless grow bags.

That's awesome! Hope he comes back. I use a slightly larger pot, 8x6x3. But the concept is the same.

I’m an old school LAMP guy and prefer Laravel or Codeigniter framework. My team does a ton of React Native and WP work.

My man! We're two peas in a pod.

Sorry to hear about the WP work though, such a nightmare compared to the comfort of Laravel. But, if it pays the bills

 

[horribleherk]

I haven’t had it but if I could get 5 each of every strain they produce then I’d run all those beans too ))). But their plants are BITCHY and touchy af. The bud is great but the struggle to get there with these plants is real lol!

Flowers...



Bonsai Flowers...



Bonsai final trim and flowering stretch...



Veg... and yeah there are issues that center around this %@$# variable ph that's coming out of our well. Nursing 5 through nute lock, 3 through monster bonsai transplant shock, gd it. 19 strains, 7 autos, 12 photos. It's a handful. If these bonsai flower tests put out what I'm looking for, then I'm moving to a bonsai only format. I'm looking for 2oz dry per plant off of 6-8 mini colas per plant. 15 plants per light in veg. My dream is...15 strains, 2oz each... per grow, 1 full grow per year. Those will be coming off of clones from mama bonsais. If that happens then I'll be the happiest hippie in the world. Fucking cannabis buffet lol Anyway it's all about personal consumption. That's more than enough for my wife and I for sure.



The plant in the upper right is a hybrid I'm working on between an old school needle leaf purple sativa male and an old school version of WW. Surprising is that it is growing like an indica with no expressed sativa traits.



HSC Squirt Bonsai Mama


The three along the back are HSC Pineapple Muffin x Old school purple sativa male. They are hurting from their bonsai transplant yesterday. Again, fat leaves. Weird.



And my old fashioned veg light set up...
A Sunblaze T5 HO and a UFO blurple lol just because it was laying around.

^^^ 4 5 6th photos are showing a deficiency in magnesium!!

Add epsom salts to your watering !! Also foliar spray them with epsom salted water from birth is what i've been doing to try and combat the problem from birth..

These LEDS are awesome at growth but shit there causing the magnesium to deplete in such a rapid pace.

Looking great tho muh man! So many seeds!! LOL I killed a snowfire by accident thought the pellet was dry so i watered it again.. and again.. and oopsee poopsie it died :\ lol

There should be a spray bottle in one of those pics front and center. I mixed the Epsom salts at 1/2 tsp per gallon and ph'd to 6.3. Started that yesterday and giving them all clear ph'd water mixed with... Epsom salts. And dude I just remembered and found some Earth Juice... cal/mag in my supplies closet. Holy balls.

 

[MHippie]

Know what else is fucked up Dabs? Under the lights... cal/mag issues. Under the sun only? No issues at all. I'm about to kick them all back outside and sup light the veggies for 6 hours a day... Swear to God I'll buy a freaking lawn cart if I have to.

 

[LittleDabbie]

hahah @ Lawn cart I was just looking at buying one the other day for next year, Gotta keep an eye on local deals and shit hoping to score one at lowers or home depot next time i go, Figure end of the year sales should be coming up time to grab all the garden shit that goes on sale lol

And good job on teh epsom salts! I usually go 1tsp - 2 per gallon since they go thru it so damn fast its nutz..

Do you go that heavy for foliar or just watering?

 

[LittleDabbie]

Both. Heavy is the name of the game!

 

[MHippie]

So... I reorganized my veg today and split it into 2. These are my larger plants. Long story but the ones in the front should start greening out again shortly. They’ve been handled... I hope.



And now this is for bonsai plants, seedlings, and anything else that is short. The mixed bulbs on that light make everything look weird. Like the wall is high gloss white lol!

 

[MHippie]

And when you're having a shitty day, check out a frosty bud that's forming up. Will definitely put a smile on your face This is a nug of HSC's Pineapple Muffin that's forming up nicely.

Gender Reveal Day!!!

It's a purple mountain majesty boy! (HELL yes). So here's the rest of the story. I've got Squirt, Pineapple Muffin, and Purple Mountain Majesty. I'm going to put them all together. First comes Purple Squirt. Then Purple Pineapple Muffin. And then... Squirting Purple Pineapple Muffin. This pollen is going to go over my Hybrid below as well.



It's a girl! I think this means a lifetime supply of Purple Mountain Majesty for one very lucky ass hippie.



A hybrid I'm working on. Full cola is what it's starting to look like. Stoked to put the PMM boys on it. Short story is it's a WW x No Name Old School Purple Sativa Male who is doing it's level best to put out a one solid cola somehow. I'm going to pollinate this one with the PMM above and see what that grows like. I have plenty of seeds for this hybrid so if the PMM doesn't elevate the grow and the smoke, I'll dial back to this one and see what happens. Idk... all for the love of the grow



Proves I can actually put out more than lime green defoliated pieces of shit (that ARE coming back aroun by some miracle)...



Funny thing about the plants above is they were feed, lit, and cared for in the same way as the ph fucked plants were. 7 of them are the same strain. Completely different reactions to the same environment and water. The buffering abilities in my home mixed soil sucked while Wally worlds pro mix carried the healthy plants through it. Those plants are 3 weeks younger than the damaged plants. "It" ended up being a variable PH coming out of our well. So being the lazy ass (not) that I am, I wasn't checking my ph beyond the first few times when all appeared normal. Then this nute lockout shit happened on a group of plants. And Little Dabbie was like... ph bro. What? Fuck off with that, seriously? Ok I'll check. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn rookie shit. And then kept testing. And gah. Anyway I've learned a bunch of things off of this one. Right... always test PH no matter what. And... soil buffering abilities are mucho importante and will allow you to make stupid ass rookie mistakes and not kill your grow wherein if your soil has too much ego in it then it will step aside and let you just kill those fuckers dead.

Yeah... onto the bonsai adventure. Work day is over. Plant obsession begins.
