RE: A Cannabis Gardening Journey: The Discovery Of Foxtails
Great post.
I think for anyone that has grown any crops whatever they might be. Will just immediately get you when you say the following phrases.
"Its a journey" and "Respect the process"
Because we're all getting better at this, and for the most part none of us are pro's at this. Certainly not at the start.
We experienced fox-tailing this spring with some of our super silver haze plants, as we accidentally let our ladies veg for 3 weeks too long. (Issue with the timers). Essentially the button on the timer had them set to always on rather than 12/12...oops. This resulted in them growing too close to the lights.
It was something we had not dealt with before, and were fortunate the winter and spring were so cold, so fox-tailing and overall heat stress was somewhat mitigated by the weather.
That is about the only time you will hear me rejoice over an elongated winter and nearly non-existent spring :)
Anyways this post struck a chord with us and our grow. Because try and you might to control all factors, stuff is just going to happen. And hopefully like with all event in life you, learn from it and roll on.
And hopefully enjoy that journey!
Nice to meet you @massmedicinals!!!! Welcome!
Right on!I totally agree. Life just happens! Then, it's up to us to decide how to roll with it...or not. LOL!
I'm really enjoying "my learn to grow cannabis" experience. It's exceptionally rewarding to produce your own medicine from seed to oil. I've only been growing for a year and this is my 4th garden to date...still green LOL! but having fun and trying not to be too serious....most people are happy when they kill a weed and here I am trying to learn how to clone them and keep them alive inside when it's -30 outside. It's a crazy life, I tell ya. ;)
Thanks for the kind welcome, and nice to chat with a fellow grower.
Wow 4 crops in a single year. That's impressive. We're operating on a much slower rotation. Are you doing Autos? We don't.
This year our first crop was a 50/50 mix of pure sativa & pure indica plants. Second crop was solely pure sativas.
Our veg timeframe was 3 months, and then another 3 months for flower. The second round because we cloned moved a little faster. But still ended up being only 2 crops in 12 months.
So yea, 4 harvests in a single year is quite impressive. Well done!
