Title:
TempleGrower grows regs:
Medium:
My supersoil
Size of Grow Area and number of plants:
32"x32"x62" Vivosun tent with 4 plants (they will probably be moved around depending on space though)
Lighting:
Mars II 900/480W QB/Mars Reflector 144 (again, will be moved around)
Extraction:
Exhaust: 1x Vivosun 195 CFM inline fan
Intake: Passive
Pot Sizes:
4x .6L plastic vegetable-starter pots
Nutrients:
The supersoil has all the food built in so besides a weekly shot of liquid kelp, nothing additional. Actually, I suppose I use pH down to bring my irrigation water down to a decent level, so there's that. And maybe a shot of molasses every few weeks. If there is any additional supplementing, it'll be Epsom Salts, and maybe some Fish Emulsion during flower.
Other Equipment:
- pH/TDS pens - just some basic $20-$30 Amazon ones. Our water here is quite alkaline (basic), with a pH out of the tap of about 8.1. I have to treat my water with pH Down.
- Small pump/air-stone - Used to oxygenate/equilibrate my irrigation water prior to adjusting with pH Down.
- 6" Clip on fan/12" oscillating tower fan - blows the air around and keep everything fresh
- Watering cans
Plan for the grow:
Just let em go. Godbud is fairly center-cola dominant so this works very well.

Aug 10 (Day 20) - Well I figured I'd start up a half ass official diary for these instead of just posting random pics. Helps me keep track of things too, not that there is much to do in a grow like this, lol. Just don't let them dry out basically. I always like to run a few little pots alongside my main grow to test out unknown seeds I have/grow myself a little treat.
These went directly under 12/12 even before they sprouted. Ain't nobody got time to veg. Effectively, these behave the same as an auto, so long as you keep them under 12/12, obviously. So yes, 3 weeks of growth and we are already seeing the beginnings of flowering. I did hit em with nematodes as the fungus gnats were getting kinda stupid, but other than that, only water thus far. I bet they about double their size in the next 3 weeks now. 😎

@templegrower yeah thats awesome tg i love little grows like this i really wanna do a solo cup challenge 😂
@templegrower "Half ass diary" 😆 Didn't know ya could force a regular into Flower with a 12/12 so quickly....3 weeks?! How long until she's ready for harvesting?
@alij68
Lol, I honestly just copy/paste the intro pages now, just make the updates where needed. So yeah.. maybe quarter assed even 🤣. I can assure you it won't be very exciting.. unless something goes terribly wrong lol.
As for the 12/12 thing, yeah totally. I didn't know until I did my first run in these pots.. wasn't sure what to expect. I imagine it depends on the strain like normal growing but essentially, you need a mandatory 'veg' period before the plant is sexually mature, and it seems like 3ish weeks is about when that happens, at least in my Purple GodBuds and Strawberry Coughs. I have a bunch more strains to trial eventually but, so far it seems to be pretty consistent.
They effectively act like autos though in that sense. As long as 12/12 is maintained.
In my experience, they're ready for harvest at about 70-80 days, depending on your preference. Again, will likely be strain-dependent but yeah. Basically after 21 days, just add whatever the breeder says for flowering time. So a plant that flowers in 7-8 weeks should be ready in 70-77 days, ideally.

@templegrower As Ron Swanson says...."Never half ass 2 things, whole ass one thing" ha.
Well, these micro grows seem a great way to test a strain when you already have full size ones on the go as well.
Auto's seem easier to grow, but less flexibility than Regs. So much to discover,man! 🙂 🙃
Good luck bro, will be following and learning along the way as usual 😁
Very first Diary in a brand new section of the forum and I know you are gonna crush this. What’s your estimate on weight per plant with this size pot?
Random acts of kindness make the world a better place
Haha thanks man. Like I said, it's something I always like to do so, I've just never written about it officially. Hopefully anyone who is hesitant will see how easy it is! Unless I fuck up! 🤣 lol
I am probably looking at between 7-14g per plant.. depending on the plant. Usually closer to 7-10g but one of my Strawberry Coughs I have running alongside (much further alongside, lol) would have given me 3/4 of an oz or so.. unfortunately I left my male Purple Romulan in there a bit too long and he spermed all over her. So now I guess I now have some Purple Coughing Strawmulan. LoL. C'est la vie, non?

Totally loving this new section thanks to everyone who is taking the time to show us mortals what can be done with a bit of imagination. this site is a revelation I read a post a few days ago someone said how they had tried lots of sites before they settled on Percy's they were spot on this is by far the most friendly and informative place around so pleased I found it thanks again
Aug 15 (Day 25) - Quick update on these little Purple Gods. Stigmata are starting to grow now and they are really stretching. Crazy how much difference 5 days makes. Nothing much else to report though. Like I mentioned before, ideally, this type of grow will be as boring as watching paint dry. Lol.
I did move them into the 4x4 under the QB now so, there's that I guess.

Aug 21 (Day 31) - Only 5 days since the last pic and God DAMN! These are some Stretch Armstrongs, lol. Well, 2 are more than the other 2. I've now labeled them as 1,2,3,4 to make it easier to keep track and compare pic to pic. 1 and 3 are in the white pots, 2 and 4 in the black.
They're looking great though. Still just watering once per day, pH ~6.5-6.6. Maybe like 500mL, give or take, per pot. Should slow down vertically soon and then start chunkin out. 👍

@templegrower Amazing that this can be done. My area awaits some micro plants lolol. Always a treat watching what you bring to the table man. Love it!!
Aug 29 (Day 39) - Vertical growth seems to have slowed and they have now switched to flower and resin production.

Sept 4 (Day 46) - I told you this would be boring to watch... lol. Not much to report again. Colas are fattening, and am starting to see some purple tinges in the leaves of #2. #2 and #3 are also showing some pretty pink stigma, but I forgot to snap a pic of them.. next time!
Oh, I also got a little frisky and decided to pollinate a couple smaller branches of #1 & #4 with some Species 8472 pollen. So that's kinda fun... 😎

Sept 21 (Day 63) - Getting real close now. 2/4 of them have gone almost all dark purple.. awesome. Love that shit. Filling our nicely now too - the one is almost all bud along the main stalk. They smell really GodBud-esque - very pungently and robustly sweet, but not like candy.. more of a chemical sweet. Soon... soon...

@templegrower look at the stalks of those man! Just deep color in there. Awesome looking plants as always man!
Oct 1 (Day 73) - Pretty much done now. Trichs are mostly milky now with a few clears and a few ambers so, likely about another 5-6 days. PG #2 has really fattened up now - quite a large main cola. It's basically single main cola I guess lol but, the top is fat AF. The others aren't as girthy but dense AF and ridiculously resinous. I really love this cultivar.. pretty special one. Not bad for 4 little recycled starter pepper pots too eh? For casual smokers in legal lands (*cough* Canada *cough*), this seems like a no-brainer.. these cost basically nothing to grow lol. 😎
