Northern California - Small Rooftop Grow

[gianca]

i planted 4 seeds on 4/20 and 8 more the weekend after. the first seeds that were planted all sprouted and kept a healty look, so i kept them all. out of the eight that were planted the next weekend, 6 sprouted, but one looked deformed, so i decided to just get rid of that one early.

if you notice, there are two plants that have been topped, and here is the story behind that... i was planning on moving the plants to an easier location, so its less work to water them and keep up with them. so i decided to move them to a nearby hillside that nobody ever goes to. midway through the day, i realized i didnt fence them in at all, and immediately went back to do so. when i got there, three of the plants have already been chomped on by deer! two were left with leaves, but one was eaten all the way to the bottom of the stem. i thew away the completely gone one, and just continued watering the other two. its funny how well the deer topped it, while just trying to get some grub for themselves, haha.

so its been about two months since they sprouted, and im quite happy with how they are looking. i decided to keep them in small containers, in hopes to keep them small and not visible to the public...does anyone know if this would work? the four i planted on 4/20 are Grape Ape X Northern Lights, and the others are an unknown strain i got from a friend. i started them on nutrients about a week ago, and since then they have just been taking off! the leaves are nice and green, and no longer droopy. ive noticed a tiny bit of burning on the tips of some leaves, so i keep using a little bit less nutrients everyday until there is no more signs of nute burns.

i got to run now, but i hope you all enjoy my new grow log that is starting, and any input of any kind is welcome and appreciated.

Good Morning,
I talked to a couple friends about water cure (on the net). This is the gist of what they said.

1. I have and was really dissapointed! It removes the taste of the weed and ruins the bag appeal. You soak it in some water for 7 days changing the water daily, you can let the buds float on top of the water.

Not real good sounds like... and


2. I've tried it with a small amount and didn't really care for it. the smoke was super smooth but had hardly any taste.

If you are gonna sell to a co op, i sugest you sell them what they are used to selling/using. Just my opinion. Would love to hear what you have found out about selling to a despencry. I have a friend that sells to one in another county than where i am, as far as i can tell they just give them a sample and they tell them the next day if they (Co op) wants to buy some. As for price, i have no idea.

thanks for the input inbud!

i didnt really think about the fact that it will get rid of the taste. it makes perfect sense though, since the water is extracting everything that is water soluable, only leaving the plant matter with the crytals. i have heard that it is an unbelievably smooth smoke, but i wouldnt trade that for the taste. i'll still try it out on a few buds though, so i can know from personal experience just how much of that wanted taste is extracted. should be interesting to compare the smoke reports at the end. looking forward to it!

1- main cola of unknown strain
2- a cola that i noticed have a light pink tint on the hairs. can anyone see it? would anyone know if this is caused by something im doing? or is it usually genetics?
3-in the words of one of the greats "blowin' in the wind" :hippy::hippy:
4-same shot as before, without a gust of wind

hey ARI. thanks for the kind words :hippy::hippy:

be sure to keep checking out the thread to see how it all turns out.

if this goes well, i'm thinking of upping the scale, going indoors until next season, and making this a source of income to live off, and support myself. i have been researching all that i can on what is needed to be a seller to a local dispensary, and its all looking good so far. Does anyone know from personal experience what the average price, per pound, a northern california dispensary will buy from their patients?

im taking botany classes right now, and have already learned so much in regards to plant ecology, metabolism, and the evolution of major plant species'. so i hope with this better understanding of plant life, this will help me produce superior bud that everyone can enjoy.

take care everyone

You look like you did a real good job so far with your plants. Really excellent growth you've got there. Just make sure that you don't over fertilize because what you've got going right is certainly working. Keep posting and check out my thread I just started too. Oh and by the way what type of soil mixture did you use as of now?

looking good, you should transplant soon
