Super Snow

Orcaman · Dec 6, 2016

I have too thank @Shamus for giving me this opportunity to be a tester for Grave Digger.
To be able to see how consistent the eight seeds will sprout. I planted them all together and drenching the Royal Gold Turpur soil media with Madfarmers Be One. They are all under one dome in my small growing realm. The seeds looked great, so lets see a bunch of young ones in a few more days!

I should note the lighting is Four Spectralux 6500K Blue T5's, One 10.0 UVB, and the 300 watt 4200 lumen soft white CFL. Floor temp is right at 73 degrees with 25% relative humidity.

Your obviously a very reputable farmer I must ask, why such low RH? Is it a indica Dom? Not familiar with the strain. Is there up sides you see that your looking for? Thanks

Orcaman · Dec 7, 2016

Thanks for dropping in MirrorZen, I don't adjust my humidity in this old rental house and Colorado is just a very dry state. That's why they are domed for now. Currently I have no information on this mix. I'm hoping that @Shamus will fill us in on this new mix once they get going.

A good Saturday morning to all, Here to note that they are starting to sprout. Right at 84 hours with three up and numbered. Hoping to see some more by this afternoon.

Happy Sunday everyone, As of this morning I have four sprouts up. I started to do a little probing on the other four and found one going the wrong way and got it turned around. One almost ready to show. Another one I planted a little too deep and now have it exposed. And not seeing the eighth seed.

Good luck with this run orcaman I hope they turn out killer

Orcaman · Dec 13, 2016

This afternoon will be seven full days since they were planted. I now have seven sprouts up. I had to remove the seed hull on both six and seven. I dug up seed number eight to find that it has done nothing and consider it a dud.

I'm concerned about this one making it also being the same sprout that started out going the wrong way and had to be flipped over.

Orcaman · Dec 17, 2016

Here are the seven spouts now 11 days in. I was so happy to be able to save number 6 and 7. Now they are just a little behind the other five sprouts. I'm hoping to up pot them in about ten more days into four inch pots and remove the dome.

Along for the ride if you don't mind Orca. :) Looking good over here and can't wait for these in flower.

Orcaman · Dec 23, 2016

Happy Friday everyone. Just a quick update on these seven now 17 days old. Yesterday they received there first light feeding. I'm using almost the complete line of Nectar for the Gods. I let them soak up from the bottom a light dose of just Herculean Harvest liquid bone meal. They responded well! I'm almost ready to put them all in four inch pots.

hey orcaman looking good, hope your Christmas was a warm one.The super-snow babes are going to take off real fast once potted as both their parents were very vigorous !!!! the cross is my original snow dog (from the man himself) that I have had for a bunch of years.Its crossed with my favorite Apollo 13 male. Your stretch into flower should be 20 to 25%. I'm really really excited about this grow !!! im pulling a ((FUTON)) for this one....... shamus

Orcaman · Dec 30, 2016

So glad to hear from you @Shamus, I hope you had a great Christmas and thanks for letting me know what I'm growing. I've always have wanted some Apollo of some kind. Can I ask who is the breeder of your 13 male?
Here is an update on these babes now 24 days old. This morning they all were put into four inch pots. I have to note that three days back I discovered mites on only the number one sprout. They were all treated with AzaMax and I decided to discard that sprout this morning still only seeing a few mites on that solo plant. So here are the six remaining.

Number 2

number 3

number 4

number 5

number 6 stunted pretty bad from having to remove the seed hull

And number 7 also a less stunted from removing its hull to

brothers grimm did the apollo 13, but don't quote me on this ,I think if memory serves me and it never does......1997 or 1999 is when I found my keeper of the Apollo. she is been a good mom and I just hit her with an land-race Cambodian Thai. you can even see one of the siblings of the Thai in the{post your tree pictures} section of tree farming forum. The supersnow is going to be a killer and thanks again for your time and work.

Thanx for being so detailed, I wish they would hurry up and explode already, lol. Let us all know when they start throwing scent. both parents were just the most potent smelling plants ever !!!!
