NOOB's Indoor/Outdoor Juggle Grow Journal

Two strains I have (as of now) are both in flower and both showing female sex parts (Although I am watching them both diligently for pollen sacs), 1 is a Herijuana grown from seed, and the other plant is a Sour Diesel also grown from seed. Both plants are growing in a soil mix I made, but both mixes are a little different. Herijuana is growing in an amended potting soil I bought awhile ago, and Sour Diesel is growing in a custom soil mix I made.
Okay let me explain, this grow is taking place with the light of the sun, I take it in every night at a certain time and put them back out at a certain time (12 hours later) I picked out the best time for right around the harvest window I can just leave it out to finish. Here is some pics that I've taken so far, they'll get more organized in further post, this is just a culmination of good shots I've taken of them so far. Feel free to post questions, comments, whatever, feel free to post..
This is the Herijuana:

Wouldn't miss this.
Planted in my easy chair to watch your dank

They look healthy. Good job. Thats pretty crazy that your taking them in and out everyday.

Welcome aboard hemi! I'll be updating this journal pretty often so I can backtrack where I go wrong, or where I go right.. Last grow I had my camera but no journal, when I look back my pictures of it I'm like "wtf happened to it, it just steadily kept looking worse and worse after I bought the camera?"
Yesterday I gave them both a kelp and alfalfa meal tea and I can imagine they will start shooting up like 4th of July rockets pretty soon. Last year, I grew outdoors in the ground, the yield was sad, and I wished I could've flowered them under the July and August sun rather than the cold rainy September and October rainy weather I dealt with.

Chillax here ! Watch dem Grow !

Noob your in good hands
with quality blades like ZS joining I'm sure the results will be amazing this time.
I'm excited to see this sour D
It's one I've always wanted to grow. Love that fueley smell

Hey NOOB,

Real good to see you posting your girlz! I'll tag along, for sure.

I'm very interested in the Herijuana, because it's next on my sprout list.

Good luck with everything, and stay safe!

See ya...

Subbed! Looking good. Can't wait to watch the girls grow. Herijuana is a strain I really want to try growing. You mentioned a soil mix you made. Care to share the recipe? If not its cool. Just like to hear what people like to use. Also what nutrients will you be using? Will you use a line of nutrients or a mix of different brands? Sorry for all the questions

Thanks everybody, I am most excited for the Herijuana as well, I might buy a clone pretty soon here tho, because I am not sure about the Sour Diesel's sex still.. It sexed early, which I've never had a female do, and is not putting on more hairs like the Herijuana is, I think Sour Diesel might be a hermie but I can get clones of Sour Diesel (I think/hope) pretty easily.
My custom soil blend is just 3 gallons of compost/EWC, 6 gallons of Pro mix all purpose, an extra gallon or so of drainage (parboiled rice hulls, perlite) and blended with 2/3 cups of Neem cake, Kelp meal, Alfalfa meal, 1/2 cup of Fish Bone Meal, 2 tablespoons of Sul Po Mag, 1 cup of pelletized lime, 1 cup of granular azomite, a wee bit of zeolite with some coconut coir sprinkled in there for shits and giggles. I will be using no line of nutrients, although the fish bone meal and alfalfa are Dr. Earth's brand. The other mix is a blend of the same amendments but less of them, in a different base, I used for the Herijuana the base is Dr. Earth's potting soil mixed in with extra rice hulls/perlite amendments, compost ewc etc..

Quick update.. Bad news: Sour Diesel, confirmed nanners, confirmed hermie,KILL CONFIRMED! http://forum.grassci...=1&d=1340823194 Herijuana I am still on the look out for, but so far so good. I am trying to get a clone like right now as soon as my grow bro gets out of work, this could take up to two weeks depending on whether or not anybody I know (and trust) has any cuttings ready or not yet. I'm smoking a bong of some L.A. Confidential, grown right, grown organic, I love the high on it. Herijuana: http://forum.grassci...=1&d=1340823194 http://forum.grassci...=1&d=1340823194 :wave:

Awww bummer on the sour D

Yeah unfortunately my friend who gave me these seeds also got a Hermie today as well, I went and checked his crop for him because he is more of a NOOB than me and he's blind as a bat so I have to sex his plants for him or else he'll get his whole crop pollinated. His Hermie was also the big fat Indica looking leaves that looks different than his female Sour D (he's gonna give me cuttings once it gets enough branches to share) which has a lot more Sativa structure and leaf characteristics. I got in contact with my bro and he is trying to get the clones for me ASAP, I'm gonna snatch 2 of them.

Good lookin plants, NOOB!

I'll be sticking around

Whos the breeder of those sour d?

He got them from BCSEEDKING most of the reviews say they got 80/20 female/male outcome with these, so we probably got stuck with the majority of the crap that was left luck of the draw, there is no way for the breeder to tell what's going to happen. So far out of this pack of 20 seeds, we cracked 8, 2 didn't make it (likely due to operator error honestly, they were viable) and of the six 3 of them were male, 2 hermies (so far) and 1 female with no male sex parts. They are not the breeder however, they just get their seeds from breeders out there, not too concerned with it because even 1 female we can make a dozen cuttings and several mothers and other plants out of them.. I always try to look on the bright side, my glass is 1/2 full.. Ya dig?

Speaking of seeds, I am cracking 4 more seeds today, because I don't really have anything planned for them, except to hope to get some weed out of them maybe? 2 of Sannies Free Kush, 1 Skywalker and 1 Chronic (serious seeds) bagseed tho so who knows what it was crossed to, cause I don't even know the grower of this Chronic and what happened in his room but I know it is the 1 from serious seeds because that's all that guy grows is their strains. Just in case the clone thing takes too long to crop, I figure I can pop these by July, veg them for like 3-4 weeks and force flower them before August I can still get harvests off them for sure if they are fem, they are germinating with my cactus cuttings that I am propagating. All of these strains are likely prone to Hermie so when it happens, I got to kill em..\
Also.. I have on deck for future cracking, 4 Jackberry, 5 Sour Diesel, 4 Anesthesia, 2 Herijuana, 2 OG Kush (bagseed), 20 Skywalker, 2 Free Kush, and more random bagseeds than I'll ever mess with probably.

Interesting concept, taking your plants in and out each day, Too bad about your hermie, but I see you have a back up plan.
I live in the midwest, so no clones around here, but thankfully seeds will arrive stealth. I have to admit I haven't heard of "herijuana" before, can you tell me a little bit about it? It has huge fan leaves, doesn't it?
One more thing, have you heard of the fella who wanted to be strongest around? Everyday he would go out in the field and lift a calf figuring as the calf grew, he would grow stronger too.............he did it day after day for a month....But one day he couldn't lift that cow no more!
I hope your plants don't turn into a cow, lol............and be too heavy (and awkward) to move back and forth..........
Just kidding, I think this will be fun to see how this works for you?
You are not using suppliments? Will your soil carry your plant to the finish line?
I am so inexperienced at growing, I don't have a clue most of the time, but I am using the Foxfarm soil and I read in one of these forums that the soil will be depleted of nutrients in about a month or so and I should start nutes then.
since you made up your own amended soil mixture, will that still apply? Thanks for the thread and I hope to see it grow to completion!

Hey slithey,

Herijuana...mmm...the beans are in my hand as we speak.

Here's a strain review from nugs.com

And another from OpenGrow review

And gosh, here's where they can be found: sannies Herijuana IBL

Uh...except that they're 'out of stock,' at the moment. But, there are other places.

If you like a nighttime, in the low zone, drop and hope you land on something soft, kinda smoke, then herijuana...mmm...is a good one.

See ya...

Haha you should be a bud salesman. You made me want to smoke a bowl or twenty of it
