Trainwreck- from the start

[TheTommyK]

I bought some Trainwreck seeds from Green House seeds and I am going to document my newest grow from the start.

I am an intermediate grower who has been growing for a few years now. I am going to ad this new strain to my repertoire.

I am currently growing Bubba Kush, Juicy Fruit and a sativa I call Rolling Stone (a clone of an unknown mother from a dude of CL)

 

[TheTommyK]

Here is the pack

I use the paper towel method: Place the seeds in a half piece of paper towel, wet the PT enough to be damp, place the seeds on the PT, fold it in half and place it inside a ZipLock bag. I placed the almost airtight ziplock back under my cloning lights (a bacnk of 5 CFLs)

1 Day later

2 Days later

3 days later ..... time to plant!!

All have sprouted and busted outa their helmets ...

I have preped 5, 4" pots that will serve to grow these ladies until they are ready to plant in their permanent pot. This is PRO MIX with 6.0 pH water.

Here is TW 3 of 5 ready ...

poke a hole 1" deep ....

said hole ....

plant the sprout ***** WITH EXTREME CAUTION*** ....they are super delicate

pack the moist soil around and over the tap root started

Rinse and repeat!!!!

Nice start to a great strain. Best of luck, Tommy!

 

[Jack Dupp]

Good luck Tommy.

Trainwreck is definitely one of my top 5 favorites.

 

[TheTommyK]

i hate that, and for no reason usually :( i see your grow diaries are as detailed as your cloning ones ;) i can appreciate that, i wish i saw more of those when i was starting out, i wasnt even aware of this site when i first started. OHhhh, TRAINWRECK is one of my wife and I favorite strain!!! we have one going outback along with a lemon trainwreck. cant wait to see things get moving!!

 

[TheTommyK]

sigh .... thanks.
I have 5 autos going as well and one did the same thing. The autos were in a widow sill and the TW were in my VEG room. after the auto wilted, I supported the others with pipe cleaners, and then thought, for good measures, .... the Train Wreck as well. only to find it wilted today ..... thoughts?

I have other strains and know that they have unique traits about them ... bubba kush takes 5 weeks + in veg and my Sativa (something a i call rolling Stone ... cause I am not sure what it is exactly .... its a haze I think) grows super tall indoors.

I am looking for any advice or posts specifically on Train Wreck .... any thoughts?

 

[vaporedout]

mine all came from clones and were N deficient but theyre fine now, are they getting over watered?

 

[TheTommyK]

Over watering is my only suspicion ...

 

[TheTommyK]

the pipe cleaners are just an open loop .... not tight around the stem

 

[Swany]

the local nursery or hardware store would have inexpensive soil moisture testers, if you're unsure about how much water to give them. I'm no expert, as you know. From what I gather you water, let it mostly dry out then water again with grown plants. Is it similar with starts? And i would bet you're watering them all the same.... how come only one lays down? Growl.

 

[TheTommyK]

So another one is starting to droop. Not happy.

 

[vaporedout]

those look like plastic pots, not clay right?? clay pots can be decieving on weight. id let them pretty much dry out if it was my plants. let the roots get some air. one of the first things i learned about cloning is not to drench the pellets, roots need air to live, so let that soil dry :)

 

[SodaLicious]

Just a suggestion, I would try and clean up that area a little better. Cover your rusty shelves with some white plastic or something. Then I'd get a seedling heat mat to try and dry those girls out a bit.

 

[TheTommyK]

Here are the Train Wreck this week ... well the ladies that are left.

They share the sill with some autos that I bought for a laugh ....

 

[SodaLicious]

i'd be putting them outside in that sunlight a few hours everyday

 

[TheTommyK]

That's affirmative Huston ....
