I love freebies from the grow shop. Some bloom and pesticide.

The legendary Granddaddy Purple. I have wanted to grow this strain for so long and I am really looking forward to trying it out. Plus this shirt is black light reactive, so that makes it super cool.

I've been talking to a bunch of the guys in the Canna discord and it seems I am the only one that has been growing autoflowers and I guess now is the time that I put on my big boy pants and start learning how to grow photo periods.

So I went to a hydroponic store in Salt Lake that I have been going to for a while now and picked up some supplies for the upcoming grow. They had a deal on their soil and I was able to get three bags for the price of two, which is really nice cause soil can get expensive, especially the higher quality stuff. Build a Soil is a brand that I have been hearing a lot about and I recently began using it with my grow that I started a couple weeks ago.

The post I made 3 weeks ago about Cotton Candy and Hawaiian did not really go according to plans. I stress those seedlings out way too much and they ended up dying on me, so I went ahead and started two Gorilla Glue seeds and they are doing a lot better now than the other ones. At least I learned that seedlings do not take stress well, so I have been a lot more careful with these two seedlings and they are both doing a lot better than the others did.

I also bought two seven gallon pots, because photos grow for a lot longer than the autos I am used to, so I want to make sure there is enough room for the roots to really do their thing. I have found that having a really good root system works wonders for your plant in the long run.

I needed another filter as well, and this time I made sure to get the correct size because last time, I ended up getting a four inch when I needed a six inch. A six inch filter is able to push so much more air through it. I sold off some Hive this morning and used crypto to buy everything this morning. That is one of the best things about this platform is that it can really be used to fund your hobbies and passions.

One cool thing I like about this grow shop is that they usually have some freebies that they throw in the bag. I got some bloom and bug repellant from some company named Mammoth. I don't know anything about this company, but I am going to assume it is decent.

I had ordered some new cannabis shirts and they got here today. They are from Rasta Empire and they are shirts of some of the strains that I like. The GDP shirt is my favorite, and while I have not actually completed a grow of this strain, nor have I ever tried it, I think it is going to be a really good one for me. It is supposed to work wonders for pain, stress and insomnia and I have been trying to get my hands on this strain forever. My last GDP grow didn't go too well and I overfed it with nutrients, but it was on its way to be a really great harvest before I ruined it. That whole situation really push me away from wanting to grow photos, but I am ready for that challenge now and have learned quite a bit more about feeding schedules and growing in general.

I am going to be putting the first GDP seed in the dirt later tonight when the seed has popped open. I was only planning on growing one of them, but when the store offered me a free bag of soil, I decided that I will grow two photos alongside the GG that I have already started. The GG only has about a month and a half until it should be ready for harvest, so that will give these two photos plenty of time to veg for a while and then I will probably give them a couple more weeks of veg before I flip them into flower. Now I just have to figure out if I am going to grow two GDPs or use one of the many other photo period seeds that I have. These next couple months should get pretty interesting.

I was thinking about getting in growing. We just finished our greenhouse for our vegetables this year. I will say it looks pretty intimidating.

I am sure you will do great if you tried. It isn't too much different than growing vegetables. If you can pay attention to the veggies as they grow, you can grow weed. There are a lot of differences but I am sure you will pick up on them easily.

How long does it take to grow form seeds?

It really all depends on the strain and if it is an auto flower or photo period. The gorilla glue autos I am growing right now take about 9 weeks from seed to harvest. The GDP I am starting soon will take about 4 months or more.

Auto would be like a veg and photo would be under certain light conditions to make it happen, correct?

Ya, autos have been bred to have a shorter life cycle and to automatically move from veg to flower. With photos, you have to change their light cycle to a 12/12 to force them into flower.

Man that is so awesome you got that Mammoth P for free! That stuff is expensive, and all that is required is .8ml per 1 gallon of water! So it will last you for a long time. Not sure about the Cann control, but i am sure they went for the same concept of less is more.

Ya, they are really good with their free samples. I was hoping they had more Dutch Pro Explode. That stuff is great. The Cann control has enough in there to treat 100 gallons, so I will be set for a while with that.

Can't wait for the buildasoil results. Don't you feel like a kid again when you're at the grow shop? I get all sorts of good feeling.

I'm like a kid in a candy store. They have so much stuff that I want to buy. I am excited for the buildasoil. I've only heard good things about it.

Good luck, you should do fine with photo period grow. Just make sure there is no light penetration at night and setup a timer. I don't use a timer, my cat reminds me. Starts meowing at 7 am sharp and again at 7pm, he knows somehow.

Awesome bro! I'm glad you're throwing your hand back in photo's! Last summer I grew the GDP and it turned out pretty nice! My wife is on the last leg of that grow now that she's the only one smoking but it was really good! I can't wait to see your future grow posts! I know you'll grow them amazingly! Nice shirts BTW! 👍

Dude, I read that stress affects plants and I think I'm sure of it now. Also, the purple one is my favorite of the t-shirts. It looks really cool.

Hi friend, You've got some loaded deals on plant growing. Those guerilla glue looks in a very impressive shape and healthy.

Cotton candy and Hawaiian like natural habitat or you if you have regular the sunny weather than grow them out in the open garden, they like the sun a lot and keep them moist. They get stressed in controlled environment that is not for them.

Hope, we'll see the shirts you've ordered next time. Thanks

Nice one, I love the shirts and honestly never really seen strain shirt like that so that's cool.

You will love photos the training you can do it wicked.

This is super cool, I'm super excited for you and can't wait to see the results you get with this buildasoil. I'm contemplating getting some as well, but I'm going to wait to hear your review on it first.

The GDP's look as healthy as can be with vibrant deep green. I think you will find those 7 gal containers to be perfect for indoor cultivation. I agree about the root system, it's logical and makes perfect sense. The only plants I have issues with are small planters, while giving the same feeding regiment in the same environment, common denominator is the size of the pots.

You're doing really good bro, I am sure you will excel with photo period cannabis.

Keep on rocking!

Thanks man. The GDP hasnt sprouted yet. Those one are the Gorilla Glue autos I have. Once the GG is done with flower, I will be moving the GDP into flower. I am hoping that I didnt drop the GDP seed too early. I dont want that plant trying to take over the entire tent during the last couple weeks of flower of the GG.
