Monster Garden

Good afternoon Builders!!

I joined here a bit ago, finally getting around to starting the next grow so I wanted to officially start my journal on here.
Prior to this grow I wrapped up a big auto grow in my 4x4 and a smaller photo grow in the 5x5. In my intro I mentioned a few specific strains I’d be trying this time, but I’m calling an audible. I received some tiki cuts from a friend and I want to test those first before doing a big seed run.

In my 4x4 (pictured below) I have 7 cuts of my big bad wolf mom and some smaller bonsais for a growalong with Catdads collection.
These will be fed using Jacks321

In my 5x5 I’ll have cuts of deathstar and gg4 from tiki, bless your heart (Irene x wookie) from my buddy, some Conan crosses from Catdad and I’ll squeeze in HP91 from topdawg (f2 by @BackyardBoogie ) and chem101 from coastal (f2 by @BackyardBoogie ). I’ll also be trying organic fertilizers in the large tent this run.

Overall, I’m super stoked to try these cuts, as well as the f2s from my buddy. The organic feeding will be a learning curve, but will be fun learning!

I included some pictures of some of my favorite auto strains from the last run, as well as the 4x4 currently.

Beautiful work! Just for clarification those HP91s are F3s from grote(f2s from me) and the 101s are F3s! I very likely could have put the wrong f gen on them lol

I spent the afternoon mixing coco, potting up and getting stuff situated. I ran out of coco midway so I’ll have to go out tomorrow and grab some. I think I might try the pro mix, feel free to drop your recommendation. This would be used for tray2grow organic growing.

This group of photos (my organic 5x5) consists of tiki gg4 (clone) and deathstar (clone), bless your heart (clone), chem101 f3, hp91 f2, lavender boogie (@BackyardBoogie ), lavender lemonaid f2, and Wolfpack f3. I also have some auto testers from Catdads collection grapeset, star destroyer, Zenobia and aptx 4869.

Before I get into what I did with what, a little status update on them all. The lavender boogie, lavender lemonaid and Wolfpack are all freshly sprouted and were in plugs. The rest were in small nursery bags of amended coco and have been struggling a bit, the clones not as much. I think I fed them with liquid feed too soon and stressed them. I’ve been letting the stressed ones chill and just been using casting tea and water.

Since I had a few clones looking strong I potted them up into tall 2gal pots and 2.2gal autopots. These are organic, so coco amended with pridelands, gypsum and myco, watered with recharge and 1/2 strength roots Buddha grow. Hopefully they root out well. The bless your heart have been vigorous af.

I also potted up some of the seedlings into plain coco. Since I’ve been struggling with my seedlings using organics I am using jacks and plain coco until they root out the small pot a bit and switch them to organics. Once I get better I’ll use less salt based feed ideally.

I’ve attached some pics from today. The closeups are gg4 and big bad wolf from my 4x4 thats on d24 of flower. The gg4 is the frostier one.
