New Beginnings

Aloha fellow Firewalkers!

Room is filling up fast. Sterilized 8 more pots this morn. Still have undeclared sitting in trays on the table. Looks like 8/9 males of C.S. Was hoping to see more females in this group. Trayed male plants on floor are destined for the bin. A shame really as many are beautiful specimens. Table will be removed tomorrow, all remaining "plants" will be removed. In addition to the two LED's, the MH will come on to provide the heat.

Enough roots to get them started in their new homes

Girls got their legs shaved this morning, save a few plants; their lowers left intact for pollen sites. They are rapidly filling out, adapting to the larger pots with some already at 32". They were at 20" last Friday. I still have them on a veg diet. I will introduce some K2SiO3 in the next day or two to aid in stem support and heat tolerance, along with the other benefits of potassium silicate.

The application of K2SiO3 the other day had a positive effect on the plants. This morning they were fed their first bloom fertilizer. They look happy so far as they enter the third week of flower. Some leucocoprinus birnbaumii was found in several pots. I assume it came in with the FF Happy Frog soil as I have seen them before in previous grows. No biggie, they do aid in breaking down organic matter. Toxic though, no pets allowed. I just pick them out. Tallest ones are now 43" (La Nina influence), with height variation in these F2's. Compared to the Early Hazes which are 46" today, which are more uniform in their appearance. Here ya go.

Everything is humming along nicely over here. Plants are very healthy and continuing to add biomass. Some at 48” this morning. I love MH lighting for the Haze hybrids as it keeps nodal spacing and stretching at reasonable levels. The other plants are doing fine under 40% LED intensity. Yesterday, a foliar of K2SiO3 and kelp was applied. Today, another foliar of Ion-14 was applied. Ion-14 is a Bio-Ag product made up of silicon and humic acid. I’m still having leucocoprinus blooms popping up here and there and am removing them daily. I bought a different soil mixture the other day and will be trying it out on the next grow. Pix in a few days after I see how they respond to the two separate sprayings.

It has been quite a while since I have put seed to soil. Many of you know that I had some important things happen in my life needing my focus for nearly a year. Not a day has gone by during that time that I didn't yearn to walk among my plants. And like Spring, there is an awakening in me to begin the creative process once again. I hope I haven't forgotten how.
I'm aware of the health struggles that you've had, GI issues are horrible, and we both suffer from a killer case of OCD 😉, but I wasn't aware that things turned to shit for you this year. Glad you can walk among your plants now, that will no doubt uplift your spirits. And I know you haven't forgotten how, it's just like riding a bike, some things just come to you naturally after you've done it for so long.

Glad things are getting better for you now. I had that kind of year in 24 and I learned to just "keep on keeping on" and everything will work out the way it's supposed to. ✌️
