Merry Christmas everyone!!🎅

Hey y’all. I decided to start a grow log on here to document my process & show you guys what I have going on in my own personal grow. Right now I’m just showing off one of the indoor tents, but I’ll try to expand it to everything I’m growing as I get more time. But let me know what you guys would like to see! I can get super detailed & specific, or I can just show off the general process & decision making that I follow. Whatever you think is more useful! I don’t want to scare away new growers, but I’m happy to give out detailed info if that’s what you guys are after. The next couple runs will be extra special to me because I was gifted some really killer clones that were preserved from the 90’s - 2000’s era. These are supposed to be some pretty elite cuts from the breeders themselves (or someone in their circle), of some legendary strains. I have a whole bunch to run through over time, but I picked these 4 because they were the first to be ready. ———————————————————— In this round I’m running clones of the original Gorilla Glue #4, Blue Dream (the Santa Cruz cut), Lavender, and Madd Fruit. I’m growing indoors in a 4x4 tent, in big 30 gal pots of my own homemade living soil. It’s the exact same recipe as I have posted in the classroom, and it’s been crushing! This will be round 2 of using it, after re-amending with some simple ingredients. I haven’t done very much besides transplanting them and watering a few times, although I did add some microbes as soon as I got them in the soil (I personally use “Rootwise Mycrobe Complete” at the moment). It’s been about 10 days since the last watering, and I left them on their own for a week while I was out town without any problems. I’ll try to keep track over time about whatever I do to the soil or plants, but I tend to keep things pretty simple. Tonight, I’m just doing some topping / trimming and I’ll go over my mindset of what I’m doing in the videos below! Thanks for checking in, I’m excited to show off how easy growing can be and some of the badass results you can get with just a little effort!

Last pack in the case, I took advantage just in case this is the final one but I can't wait for the summer gonna have a whole lot of hunting to do!!!

Hey y’all, figured I’d share a little bit about what’s been going on in my life. I finally proposed to my lady (she’s great), and we both took a week off work for a trip over to California! We’re spending a few days in San Diego, and a few more near the LA area but I’ll be out of town until Dec 14/15th on our little vacation. It’s been a great trip so far, but I probably won’t be super active on here besides responding to people. If you happen to know about some cool stuff that I should check out while I’m here, let me know! Much love to everyone!

I am curious if there are some general rules of thumb for maintaining a mother plant. I have five clones that I kept from the 11 clones I took from the photoperiod I harvested about a month ago. I have three of them in a tent and they just got flipped to flower last weekend. The two others are each in their own 2x2 tents and I am planning on keeping one of them as a mother plant to clip more clones from. I have been watering and feeding them regularly and keeping them trimmed up so they aren’t growing bigger than the tents they are in. Taking off any leaves that don’t look great and just maintaining a stable environment for them. Generally, what do others do to maintain their mother plants? Any special tips or tricks to keep them health and happy? How long do people generally keep their mother plants? Thanks for the help and info!
