Herb Man's First Grow (In Soil)

Very green in there.

It's been great watching the new additional calyx growth as the buds fill out and get real sticky.





Plenty of buds in the undergrowth.

Back by dope demand.

I've been taking a closer look at the ladies, so beautiful, so frosty, and they smell delicious.





I think they are on target to be finished in two weeks, but right now, they are delivering new growth, so I am happy to watch the development.

Nice going man. They should be starting to swell up, building girth and continue to harvest - don't rush em. Definitely eye candy!

There aint no rushing these ladies, we've come to far together to rush it now.

I just feed them, then sit back and watch the show.

Thanks man.

Alright so it’s week 6 of flowering and the ladies are approaching full maturity.


They will be leaving home soon, but I’m making additions for my next grow of which they will get a little taste before harvest.

Bought an Ionizer supposed to have beneficial effects on air quality.

I like the way it reduces the lights-out odor from the tent.

Finally picked up some Molasses and gave the first feed.

And I've finally got around to getting some Bat Sh*t.

Is that Bat Guano liquid?!
And you gotta make sure that Molasses is UnSulphered before you use it!
M is VERY nutrient rich bro! EASY to burn your plants with it!

And as far as the ionizer goes, let me know how that works for you!
If everything holds up, don't be surprised to see on in my garden by the next grow haha!

But keep in mind that ionisers produce a little ozone and ozone some say, has the power to oxidize trichs!
So maybe throw it just outside your box?
Either way, I'll be watching closely to see how it works for you!

No, the Bat Sh*t is in powder form and the Molasses is unsulfured.

The Molasses I will add 1 table spoon per gallon of water once per week.

The Bat Sh*t I can use in teas and or add to the soil.

Yeah, I'm very happy with the ionizer so far I saw them recommended in the old books, but they don't get much of a mention these days, but I thought I would go with it anyway.

I have noticed less of an odor during the lights off period, which is the primary reason I bought it, so happy with that.

Oxidize trichs?

I don’t know what that is, but it doesn't sound good, lol.

I'm gonna have to research that one and act accordingly.

Thanks for bringing that possibility to my attention.

Yep keep watching, a few more weeks in the tent and then its harvest time.

That will be my next challenge, since my grow area seems to be somewhat low in humidity.

Might be a case of trying to make sure they don’t dry too fast.

WHEW! <he exhales>! Thought you popped a bottle that you wouldn't be able to take back!
GREAT PICK UP!

And by oxide I mean that ozone in O3(3 oxygen molecules) and that 3rd one is HIGHLY unstable, looking to break off and attach to anything it can!
Could be a terepene which get modified chemically, which alters the smell or taste that you'd normally get!

& I'd go less than a tbsp per gal of the molasses as it's VERY nute rich! I burned my girls last round using a tbsp per gal a few times in a row.
If you OD on Molasses, your plants will start to die earlier and you bud production with suffer! This crop is looking 10x better and chunkier than the crop I harvest a month ago! And that crop wasn't too shabby!
I'm jsut stepping it up with every day that passes bro!
Next op will be max everything and mistake free!

And I'll be around for sure boss!

Good looking out and good food for thought.

How often were you feeding them Mollasses and roughly how many feeds did they get, if you can remember?

Maybe twice a week one week, then once a week the next.

Not I use it as often, just more in moderation!
Rather than a tbsp per gallon I use a tsp. Sometimes 2 bro!
And I only use it in tea! Click my soil link in the sig and look back about 3 post from the last one!

Very nice.

I'll feed them once per week at slightly less than a table spoon, see how they go then adjust accordingly if necessary.

Thanks for the heads up

Yes suh! It's crazy how rich in nutrients molasses actually is right?!
its seriously got a little of EVERYTHING in it! Lots of P, K, and micro nutrients!

Sweet.

Literally

I had a choice of Caribbean or Chinese Bat Guano, I went with the Caribbean.

Click to expand...

what's the difference between the 2? bat from china is feed with rice and the guano will be harder and the caribbean one will be feed with more fruits so the stool will be loos ?

Haha the NPK ratios are different! There are maybe 10 different bat guanos you can buy! Some high in P some high in N, and some balanced! Just depends on the bats diet and location haha!

but you did get the difference right lol.

happy 4/20 homie! You too Herb Man!
shouldnt u be harvesting bro?! Or you waiting it out?!

The Caribbean Bats have a better diet, rich in tropical fruits.


They also get to listen to better music

For my first grow i played my girls music all the time. My plants were so happy. I think i might leave the music on for them today just cause its 4:20. Happy 4:20 btw herb man. 4:20 kinda feels like when i used to go to church and theres a part where you wish everyone peace and shake hands with all the people in reach of you. Cept we say happy 4:20 and not peace be with you, they kinda mean the same thing if you think about it.
