New Beginnings for Massachussetts and I

[MrSeeDoubleU]

So I've killed 3 stink bugs in total now lol. What the fuck where these bastards coming from. Lil Fookers. So I told you guys and gals that I topped my plants yesterday. I know it's very soon to tell but I'm actually surprised they look so great in just a day. I think I have some really healthy bitches here.

 

[MrSeeDoubleU]

Also my Train wreck and Ghost Train Haze are some stubby bushy lil girls. I like it. They look like they're going to bud like mad houses. Fucking love it.

 

[MrSeeDoubleU]

I know I'm on a roll here. So I use the mykos additive for the soil when I transplanted them. So this is what I'm seeing a form of fungus at the bottom of my soul in pots. This is a very good sign. It helps feed and make roots strong and healthy. I'm seeing a lot of it. My homie at store said if you can achieve a good group of cell fungus like this you will have excellent plants. Anyone know much about the Mykos and such.

If your using fox farm they might be coming out of the soil I had stink bugs too among other things that's why I switched to pro mix...

I haven't been growing anything and we've got them on and off through the winter ... along with some drunk looking lady bugs . I think they're just part of the territory where we are.
Wife finds them, I kill them ... rinse and repeat. Fox Farm wasn't involved.

 

[MrSeeDoubleU]

Ok cool good to know others are seeing these as well. I don't think the soil is the problem I do have it the basement and its not a 100% sealed. So they could be coming cuz of tropical like temps and smelling the plants in the room. I did notice wet spot in leaf it drooled or whatever which isn't good for the plants. So if I keep finding them I'll keep killing them lol. How's everyone's night/grow been going?

Wish I had lady bugs.. lol

A couple/few years ago we had thousands of ladybugs swarming in various places around the house. It was really weird. Haven't really seen seen them in any numbers since (or before for that matter). Stink bugs come and go. Part of the territory.

South Shore, about 45 south of Boston. Glad to be here and hope we as a state can take the market that exists and legitimize it in a way that lets dispensaries choose policy when it comes to who can grow etc, im a big proponent of the theory of an unregulated market of growers/dispensaries improving quality, price, and availability, rather than the inhouse growers only law some states are doing.. the main priority is Health when it comes to regulation imo, (besides the other 1000 reasons why it is just soo stupid, like hemp fuel/products/tax revenue/comparison to alcohol etc) so i get it, but they are turning a black market into a legitimate one the tax revenue is going to be pretty substantial no matter what, so i say just make high standards for quality assurance through the state and thats it, no limits or other nonsense..

Im sure most of you are like "no shit thats why ive been growing for years" but itd be nice to be able to grow a giant greenhouse and have little worries because you can insure against theft (hopefully in the future) and its all legal and not "looked down upon" etc. while having quality reports for every strain you have in stock so its not "oh my guy had this so i got it and i have no clue besides my impression of taste and feeling what is in it, but he has the power so i better not complain". Havnt run into that in years but just sayin.

My bad for the rant haha just excited and anxious to see where the future takes us.

Welcome brother in also about 45 min south of Boston so I'm almost positive were neighbors in some way or the other. I'm on the RI border. Welcome home brother!! Good people here. When you have the time look back from the beginning of here. Great info on a lot of newbie kinda shit that we've all been thinking or experiencing. None the less happy your here and look forward to many more just like us coming out the shadows.

 

[Bosgrower]

I'll be starting a formal grow journal but I thought I'd post the day's progress.
The seeds all sank in about 6 hours so I moved them into a moist paper towel with a sprinkle of mykos. They're now sitting at 75 degrees until I check them tomorrow afternoon.
I mixed up some 3:1 Happy Frog to Stonington Blend, filled my seedling pots and put them in with the seeds so it comes up to temperature by the time the seeds are ready.

hows the ghost train haze treating you? i have 2 in soil now along with some skywalker ! im about 3 days in lol . heard the GTH could get tall and to top early

 

[RealSmokey]

hello all my fellow massholes . another masshole grower here ! just planted my seedlings in soil 3 days ago. got two ghost train haze and also two skywalker og haze . and 1 random bag seed that came from some good bud . i started the random bag seed while i was waiting on the seeds i ordered to see if the plant would show sex and i now can confirm its a girl with her pistols showing ! 5 plants total

running a 4x4 tent with 600w mh\hps . started in some roots organic after a couple weeks ill transfer to soms ffof . just didnt want to take the chance in burning the seedlings early.

 

[Xcoregamerskillz]

Mass hole with bagseed here, not too bad.

They've been staying in course with most others I have. Topped two days ago now. And they are showing good health still. My greencrack is the tallest out of the bunch. About 6" than the rest almost.

 

[JustCallmeMom]

I'm going to start cloning in the next week or so. Slow process. So I can basically take my time in veg between clones and veg for now. Start introducing two plants at a time to flower room. As I get going I'll be able to turn over two plants harvest each month. I'll be excited to run my 1000W HPS and see the mass production this can achieve.

wish i had a clone, would be so much faster than starting from seed. Im impatient to experience flower stage.

welcome!!! I am just a newbie myself, but from the pic your leaf tips seem a little yellow. what soil are you using? are you testing PH? are you using any nutes yet?

The way to make growing hemp a secure activity is to take the excessive profit out of it. When pounds are a few hundred or less, then thugs will have to sling something else and med patients will be able to get their medicine affordably.
