Grow Yer Own Stone with Old Stoner

[Old ST1R]

I am glad to have more to watch. Thanks for the grow and show @Old ST1R

It’s my pleasure, Man!

Im not really around much during the summer months since I take it off from growing indoors. I lurk here and there, just to see what’s going on.

Hopefully I will grow stuff worthy of this site. There are some fantastic growers here.

I’m looking for an easier nutrient line. I’ve been using the Remo line, but fuck me, there like 8 fucking bottles. I want to cut that at least in half without sacrificing results.

Ive been eyeing up the Botanicare line, but any suggestions?

Since I had a couple bottles of the Remo that were less than half gone, I said fuck it, and replenished with more of the Remo line.

I knew a guy in Arizona that loved Botanicare products and the plants loved it too. He was always reminiscing about the Snow Cap strain he grew with Botanicare and how he got extra stoned from it.

It’s had to believe that just one one short week ago, these were all dry seeds.

Waiting for their chance at the spotlight.

I just bagged up five packs of seeds of my chucks to give to my father in law's buddy. I wrote a little note about their smell and flavor and a ripeness window. I'm looking forward to seeing what he thinks of a little dry seed from 1,500 miles away

I was gifted a couple jugs of canna coco nutes by my son one Xmas I currently grow in coco I absolutely love it two part easy to manipulate a little very few strains need anything else once in awhile a mag lover needs some extra... Was using dry for ages petes, jacks 3-2-1 mega crop...

Two weeks from dry seed today. These are really MOTORING along!

They’re looking a little water drunk since I just watered an hour ago.

I’m really liking the 4:1 ProMix HP to Perlite blend.

The little one on the left is the Pioneer Kush that was stubborn to germinate. It finally popped up, but is very slow growing.

That's the keeper LOL

Haven’t culled it yet! I’ve got lots of room this time around because I actually exercised some restraint!

Day 21 from Dry seed.

I swear these plants are growing faster than any others I’ve grown before. I’m sure it’s due to the 4:1 mix of ProMix HP to Perlite.

I was bouncing the Ph around, but noticed one of the Oil Spills got some rust spots on its leaves after Ph’ng to 6.5. I’m still going to bounce around with the Ph, but I think this media is more like hydro, so I’ll try the 5.8 to 6.2 range.

All of them (except the runt Pioneer Kush) got up-potted to one gallons yesterday at day 20 from dry seed.

Looking good amigo
Have you noticed any migration of the perlite to the top of the pot after watering? I noticed the perlite working its way to the top of the pot on my first grow when I started with a brand new mix of media. Or maybe I was just watering too hard

Thanks Man!

I’ve noticed it a bit. I read somewhere that it would do that because the perlite floats. I’ve been trying not to water too aggressively, but I imagine by the end of the grow, there will be nothing but perlite at the tops of the pots.

I shifted to pumice/lava rock since it came with my buildasoil mix. It floats in water too, but I haven't noticed any floating to the top like with perlite. I think it's a rougher texture and stuff in the soil/roots grab it better.

Time for the weekly update. Day 28 from dry seed.

It’s fucking amazing how fast they’re growing. It’s got to be the media (ProMix HP to Perlite 4:1). With the exception of the Pioneer Kush runt, they’re all between 5 and 7+ inches tall.

They’re also getting stinky! I don’t use a filter anymore and I was outside getting the sprinkler on the lawn and caught a whiff of the exhaust. Schtanky!

Here they are in all their glory. They’re a little on the dry side, but not dry enough to warrant a watering. I’m sure that’ll be tomorrow. I hope one of these times I’ll catch them when they’re at peak conditions.
