Firstly, thanks to Manic for allowing me to test seeds for the first time - promise I won't let you down, homey :)
Apologies for the length, but don't want to forget anything and would like to do a good job documenting this to pay Manic back for the honor of testing for him.
Let me start with the unfortunate news, and then it'll be all good (hopefully) from there, I promise.
Manic sent me 5 of the HP13 X Wraith and 5 of the ChemBX3 X Lemon Thai (was super stoked to run that when I learned the BX3 lineage).
The 5 HPXW were in perfect condition, and the BX3XLT looked like someone had taken a fucking hammer to them - FUCKING POSTMAN!!!
So that's the only bad news, now on to the good - germed the five viable seeds on 1.31.11 - four popped within 24 hours, but gave them another day or two to allow the fifth (smallest bean) to pop - it never did (even after planting), so we're working with four plants.
Transplanted on 2.3, they poppped their heads up on 2.7, and the most recent pics are from an hour ago (2.23).
You can see there's one mutant in the group, but the other three are growing vigorously with healthy leaves - temps are 78F, CO2@600PPMs, RH@60% - they're under 3 dual bulb 4' T8 tubes (6 tubes total) for the moment, but I'm gonna transplant and stick them under a 400HPS in a couple of days.
My current run in my new system has needed some tweaks (and therefore had some delays, you can see some of the unhealthy clones in the pics) so I probably won't flower them for another couple of weeks, so best case I might be able to fit at least a couple of these seedlings into my current run (in the place where the 16th column would be in 3 or 5 gallon pots - I'll just move them when I need access to my system - see attached pic, it's about 18" wide and I might put a moveable shelf there to be able to fit all four plants in there, each getting their own 600 watt "level").
First pic is the masacred BX3 seeds; the rest are pretty self-explanatory, but if anyone has any questions/comments/criticisms, please don't hesitate.
Shit, just realized that I didn't take pics with the plant's number showing; I'll fix that next time, sorry guys - still getting the hang of this whole testing thing :)
