Meet the family.....
As a novice grower, my goal is to be able to complete a full grow cycle with healthy leaves on the plants all the way to harvest. I got a lot of one-on-one help from some experienced organic growers and mixed my own soil for the first time, so I'm cautiously hopeful I'll have a decent grow. Once I cull the males and place four into my backyard, I should have a bunch of girls in 7-gallon pots left in the room. You can see the strain initials on most pots. Can you spot the PSBC plants?
Wish me luck, lol.

Thanks. That’s my one-and-only-grow room and it’s 5x5. If you check out my pics on Instagram, the earliest ones are of the room construction.
Once four plants go in my backyard, four CBDs in my dad’s backyard, and the males are removed, I should have 13 or 14 left to flower in the room.
I don’t think that’s enough to do a true SOG, but they’ll be topped for four colas (using Uncle Ben’s topping method) to help fill the space better. If anything I guess I could call it SOG-like at that point.
My biggest worry for this grow is having pot-thieves nab the backyard plants; especially the CBD ones. The 4-cola topping should help keep them shorter and less conspicuous.

I've been talking with mike over the last few weeks, got clones and seeds, and he is a stand up guy for sure. And I don't say that freely about many.

At first it was the prices and the genetics that made me a customer and a fan, but after seeing the pathetic drama that takes place among some "breeders" on these boards, I've learned to appreciate Mike James that much more for his personality and his ethics.

BB are doing much better than in my last round, as are the plants in general. I made the following changes from last time:
- I made my own soil mix, so now I know what's in there.
- I germinated straight into soil, as per Uncle Ben's recommendations.
- I bought a great, in-line water filter. No more reverse-osmosis, and 99% of chlorine removed.
- I'm getting to know my light better and am responding to light-stress quicker.
- This time, I'm going to top once for four colas (Uncle Ben's topping technique) and finish in 7-gallon pots (I used 3-gallon last time, which I don't feel was large enough for an organic grow).

Reading the above post, I would like to remind anyone who uses municipal chlorinated water that you can neutralize the chlorine by using the ascorbic acid in effervescent vitamin C pills. You need to check what your levels are. For my area, about 10mg per gallon is the correct dose, which takes into account that I also add chlorine to my water as a pathogen killer before I mix in my nutes (I add the ascorbic acid after the initial chlorine reaction is mostly finished, but before I add anything else). This is very cheap, quick, and works 100%. I have been doing it for quite a while.
Here is an example. This is the brand that I use. It's cheap as heck and each pill contains 1000mg. You can cut them up with the back edge of a butter knife or large pill cutter.

Also, although it will cost you more, you can supposedly use H2O2. Not sure about the doses for that but you can search.
Sorry for OT, but just wanted to share a nice cheap way of doing it. Your plants look great, btw...

Vitamin C powder is cheaper and easier to measure and will do the exact same thing. No point in buying the effervescent pills.Reading the above post, I would like to remind anyone who uses municipal chlorinated water that you can neutralize the chlorine by using the ascorbic acid in effervescent vitamin C pills.

Convenience. I just pick it up when I am doing my other shopping. But you are correct about the price and ease of use for the pure powder. But really, when I can buy 10,000 mg of it which will treat 1000 gallons of water for a little over 3 dollars, the cost is not too much of a concern, and it's pretty easy to cut up for a 30 gallon res. To each his own.

Even though I'm a few weeks into my current grow, I planted two KNL seeds straight into some red solo cups with my soil mix yesterday. I want to know if my mix is too hot for weedlings so I thought I'd try a couple so that I know for next time.
Best case-scenario is some good KNL plants....it's such a nice strain.

That KNL is bulletproof.
Curious about your success directly planting into your soil.

It is a great grower, isn’t it?
All the plants in my current grow were germinated in soil, but a different mix that was too muddy. I still had almost 100% germination. When I upped to one-gallon pots, I used my current mix and the plants are looking great at three weeks. I’ll let you know how the new ones do in my current soil mix.
BTW, the little one in the red solo cup is one of MikeJ’s clones, gifted to me by a friend. Texada Skunk x C99.

Here's a closeup, Northern Skunk. I think we're at 20 days now since it popped out of the soil:

Hate spamming you all with so many pics, but here's my Blueberry. They seem more compact than any of the other plants in my room, but healthy looking which is something I couldn't say the last time I tried growing them. Vignette added for dramatic photo-effect, lol:
