Is it weird I keep looking out the kitchen window every morning expecting to see my lady and then quickly remembering that she has a gone to a better place now...lol?!

6m of looking at her as I stumble around making coffee does that to you I suppose.

Yep, I'm there. snif
I have to stop looking at seed banks. I already have too many and more coming. LOL
Guess I'll just have to live forever so I can grow them all.

 

[lenhug]

Lol, same here and exactly what I'm doing (those BF sales will draw me in) and plan to grow them all like your good self! Also think I'm going to get some autopots in the sales.

Got your eye on anything in particular? I think I just want to pick up and another THC/CBD strain, probably the CannaCheese from Mephisto but trying to find other breeders/strains as well for that combo.

 

[cpurola]

Ya know, hubby likes his Northern Lights and I love my Afghan, so that is what I should concentrate on but....
There's all these others out there. LOL

What I'd like is a cheap cbd/thc tester. I had some of my 1:1 tested with a Gemmacert, and it had almost no cbd.
Could have been my harvest timing, or where I took it on the plant, or maybe it just didn't have any CBD after all.

So now I 'take with a grain of salt' the claims for THC/CBD percentages.

Right, we are back! Happy New Year to all my fellow growers, hope everyone had a fantastic holiday.

So the autopots have arrived and need unboxing, making and learning all about. The extra canna coco is on its way along with a lot more perlite and the Canna liquid nutes are also ready to go, another first for me with this grow. Gonna be a lot of learning involved but that's a good thing, right?

The seeds were put in today to germinate so the clock is ticking to get all setup and ready (2 weeks give or take).

This run we're going with the following:

Night Owl Seeds	Blue Power Auto F4	Indica hybrid?
Night Owl Seeds	Spotless Mind	Sativa hybrid 25/75
Speedrun Seeds	Supreme Runtz F3	Indica hybrid
Mephisto Genetics	Illuminato #58 - Funky Mangifera	Sativa hybrid 30/70
Mephisto Genetics	CannaCheese	Sativa hybrid 30/70	THC/CBD
Twisted Trees	Jimmy Jacks F3	Indica

Wish me luck, this is going to be fun!

Nice, great minds and all that!

What you growing this run?

 

[BearWater]

Nice, great minds and all that!

What you growing this run?

well. I literally just chopped everything in flower. The next to flower will be some Hindu Kush x SFV og and a cherry gas x m86. Then the 14 that will be somewhere after that are all cali blues!

 

[lenhug]

Lovely stuff. I need to check out your thread again.

 

[Lockebox]

Which canna nutes are you using? I use their coco base and am pretty fond of it

No worries man! It gets updated here and there lol.

I've got the bloody lot I think (using their Canna Coco with Perlite 70/30):

Canna A & B
Canna PK 13/14
Canna Rhizotonic
Canna Boost Accelerator
Canna Cannazym
Canna Cal Mag

I might just go with A&B to start with (like Autpotamus uses to great effect, if you've seen him). Tbh it's all a bit overwhelming, I might bend you ear if that's ok for some advice as like I said I've never used liquid nutes before!

Yeah any time buddy!

I only use their coco a and b base, then switch to different brands for my other additives, but am happy to help as I can!

I bet you’ll crush it dude I can’t wait

Lovely start, 5/6 had a big juicy tap root sticking out after 24hrs (Spotless Mind only one without but sure will be fine). So out they all came and in they all went (crown up, tap root or pointed part down) to my budcups with some of the Coast Of Maine Seed Starter blend, great stuff. Gave them a watering to runoff (before planting) and that give them more than enough for two weeks before transplant.

Currently sat on 79F / 79% waiting to break cover then we'll dial it down a bit. Lights set on lowest level ,18/6, to entice them up and out.

Game on!

I can't believe I haven't seen your page before. Just saw 1st post. Gonna go catch up

Ha, enjoy the mishaps and madness...lol!

Certainly learnt a lot along the way...

 

[lenhug]

Ok, things are movng on.

5/6 now sprouted with only the Funky Magnifera taking its sweet time. I feel like I can maybe see the soil is being pushed but not 100% sure yet. She'll be ready to show her face when she's ready. Currently a nice 76F/76% in there with light pushing around 165PAR.

Also been v busy with all the prep work needed. Made a lot more space around my tent and threw out so much crap I'd collected. I love collecting boxes it seems...lol! Cleaned (alcohol wipes/spray etc) and vac'd the tent, I absolutely hate doing this but needs must and all that and it is done!

Added the new AI controller (our overlords are coming ), re-plugged everything back in, re-arranged lots of wiring (thinking ahead here for better access etc) and it is looking pretty good I've got to say. Completely knackered so will begin the autopots setup tomorrow onwards, I have the time for that though (week or two).

I think I'm going to move the seedlings straight into the tent asap once they are up and happy. I've usually waited a couple of weeks in the propagator previously but I'm thinking get them in there asap under the big light and better conditions. Should hopefully improve my seedling in to initial veg phase which I feel is a weak part of my growing game. We shall see...

 

[lenhug]

The Funky Magnifera is here, the Funky M is here...lol! I'll admit I was getting a bit twitchy but probably just buried her a bit deeper and they're all different of course. 6/6, lets go...

Others looking good, thicker stems than my previous runs (or less stretching so far) I feel, likely due to me having stronger lighting on them than I've done previously but had planned to improve my starting game. Up to lvl 7 (of 10) now (approx 213PAR).

Blue Power, top left, having a bit of a fight with its shell atm. Will give her a drop of water to help out if not got it off by end of day.
