Thomic1's first (ever) grow

[thomic1]

Wow, impressive my young padawan!!! (my reaction to Lisa's bud).

lol

[thomic1]

So, can I get a little feed back on a ? I have????
Should I start "another" thread for the second generation or can I make this one a "prolonged" thread where I can keep yacking on and on and on and on and on an.................

It really all comes down to how organized you like to be. Your choice.

[thomic1]

Eh, we'll just keep this one for simplicities sake. Got some new girls to post up for all to see however, they're already as tall (if not taller) then the first generation, grown from seed so they're separate from the first. The ScroG is part of this second gen cycle so this should also be as interesting as the first.

[JTP]

Looking forward to it. I just started germinating my next grow in a rockwool plug yesterday.

[thomic1]

Keep hearing mixed reviews with rockwool (I'm still bummed about my last 'egg' order with Cannaseed). "I will not reorder from them nor recommend")! Asshole still has never returned my emails> It is what it is, so cut the losses and move forward.... Now about the 2nd gen girls.... Obviously I've got this "name" thing going on let's meet the next contestants.... up first is the ScroG. That would be "Loni", and she's a AK48. "M=RC", L=AK48". (just my methodology).

Looking great! Don't forget to move the branches into separate holes in the screen as they grow

Yeah I don't really like having to use rockwool either, but it's either that or a soil germination (like my last grow). I'm not using a whole rockwool cube, I'm just going to get it going in the plug and cover with hydroton for stability/light blocking. Good luck with the Jock Horror, I've been considering that as well.

Latest news flash...

First generation is "gone"! Drying now. Biggest cola goes to Mini, (it was bigger then I am) lol... another couple days then it's the mason jar for curing. Will be taking shots for all to see but right now the camera's in the car. The full yield will also be posted; recall there's two (2) RC's, and one (1) AK48 that I'll be going by. Off hand I'd say the AK gave me 3-4 oz's, and the RC's about 8 oz's. Since this was a first grow, there's plenty'o'room for improvement but the strains themselves are killer. We've been making caramel corn (like Cracker Jacks) from the leaves and I'll tell ya what, once you're done with the popcorn, you want more.....! [and omg, it's addicting!!!] All is well on the western front...

[JTP]

As long as you have ample trim, I recommend giving soy lecithin a try with your oil.

[thomic1]

We used butter, but I'll take your advice and suggest it to the "cook".

[JTP]

Alright. Lecithin breaks it all down nicely, increasing the cannabinoids' bioavailability, potentiating your edible and quickening its onset. Don't forget to decarb first.

How's your bud after a short cure?

[thomic1]

The smell after the cure wasn't all that, since I didn't use a flavor in the final watering cycles (just smelt like pot). Of course I was using the Atami for feeding one/two times a week, depending on their absorption of neuts. Still have the yellowing (leaf) going on so I've been testing out going from Veg to Flower neuts to whatever they're needing or lacking. Going to also start using that imageshack for a pic bank. But here's the latest ones now of the second gen... Hope you like 'em.

The "Twins" are a result of "Fim'ing."
