Thunder Grown

Been a busy past week, harvested a couple plants and after giving them a bud wash, they are drying. I transplanted my two Pure African sativa autos from Green Smoke Room after three weeks in the veg tent into the greenhouse and didn't seem to see any slowing of growth. My Alien OG from Green Smoke Room is trying it's best to become a Christmas tree, just a super wide plant. Trump's Cookie Jar auto by President seeds still chugging along taking it's time. Dosidos auto by Barneys Farm looking good, want to start another properly soon. Three new autos a few days old, Purple Merkel by President Seeds, Black Cream auto by Sweet Seeds, and Lavender Best by bulk seedbank. I started these seeds out soaking in a cup of distilled water for around a day and then just putting the seed into a popcorn bucket with half seedling mix in the top and organics matter living soil in the bottom half. I like these popcorn buckets as they are tall and easy to cut drainage holes into and when you want to transplant you can just cut it off easily without disturbing the roots. The seedlings all came up after two days and were given some explogro to help the roots. They will be transplanted into the greenhouse after three weeks into Organics Matter living soil. Light in Veg tent is a Liontree 100W LED double barrel advanced.

Part of the reason I want to learn to reverse females is to take my remaining mephisto seeds and make more of them. I wouldn't mind always having a mephisto or night owl auto growing in the greenhouse. I found them quite sensitive to grow though, definitely start them out in a seedling mix or coco in a veg tent to nail the first 30 days without any stress. The Jammy Dodgers was a very strong indica high that shows up fast, very nice sweet smell and taste. Hard to grind since it's so sticky. My sweet n sour has a strong sweet smell, looking very frosty currently, she's supposed to be mainly sativa so I'm looking forward to trying her. Very nice structure and growth. I also have a Cremetasmo, she is a bit short but smells wonderful.

I think I love looking at my plants through the greenhouse glass in the natural sun way too much to ever go fully indoors. I grew some Jammy Dodgers by Mephisto last season but had to harvest early so it was a bit too racy, but the potency was certainly there, if I can nail decent potency and taste I will be pretty happy where I am at.

I've been growing for three seasons now, mostly autoflowers outdoors but we've recently finished building a small greenhouse so I can hopefully grow some photoperiods along side the autos. I recently got a mars hydro 70x70cm tent with a Liontree 100w double barrel LED light as a veg tent so I can start my plants indoors before moving them outdoors, I have been very impressed with the growth so far. The ones growing now are some Pure African Sativa by Green Smoke Room, just over two weeks since sprout. My greenhouse is made with glass doors in the front and sides and poly-carbonate on the roof and back with a wooden frame, I have two fans for circulation, a dehumidifier and an air cooler to keep the temps low and humidity up in the heat. The dehumidifier has been a lifesaver as it's gotten me through many thunder storms already. I also have a 12 blumat system to keep the pots from drying out the living soil. I love growing outdoors and this greenhouse has been wonderful so far. I have a couple plants I'm going to harvest next weekend with the Sweet N Sour by Mephisto looking like my favorite. Trumps Cookie Jar by President Seeds also turned out to be a monster for some reason, excited to see how it turns out as it's taking it's time. My goal this season is to learn how to clone, how to reverse females, and learn how to do some old fashion regular breeding. I have some Blue Orca Haze seeds from Swami Organic Seeds that I got from Arbour Collective and I want to make some more seeds from those and hopefully get a good male so I can start some pollen chucking with my other strains and see what I get. I have also been trying to support some local breeders, excited to try out some Head Honcho Genetics and Motherland Genetics. I may have developed a seed addiction though. Managed to snag some Sakura by Bodhi as well, hoping that will be some good night time medicine for my insomnia. Just waiting till around mid January to start some of these photoperiods as I don't want them getting too big. I love trying all these different genetics to see what excels in my environment. I still have much to learn in this amazing hobby, I grew up smoking dank in California and want to reach that level of quality I remember.
