I'm Back
18 Apr 2025Going Through My Autos
Easing back into things around here. In February I dusted off the tent and popped 2 Three Bears OG seeds I had in my fridge collection. This have been going pretty smooth and Im happy with how they’re turning out. I did a few things different this round.
-
I was way more aggressive with the light height. I brought the light way down and had it cranked pretty much the whole grow after the grew out of seedlings. This definitely kept the stretch I’ve struggled with in the past at bay.
-
I’m hand watering them. I had the blumats set up but I had a flood out the first night and just said “fuck it, I’ll hand water.” This forced me to check on them every day rather than fill the blumat tank and forget about them for a week. As a result I was feeding them via water soluble nutes more frequently, they’re visibility better for it.
- I companion planted some herbs and veggies. I’ve had my own supply of organic basil for the past month or so and its been great. There’s also carrots and tomatoes growing, I’ve been able to eat a few of the carrots already, they’re fantastic. The tomatoes have, to my surprise, kind of taken over the tent earlier than expected, they’re loving life in there. I suspect I’ll have some fresh tomatoes soon. Companion planted helped keep the tent fun and interactive while i’v been waiting for the ladies to do their thing.
- Side note, you can clone tomatoes too! The suckers can root in water.
- Just trying to have fun again. Fucking up a few grows can really dampen the vibes.
