OK found the rules and it`s just standard stuff.

 

[blaze 1]

so did you figure out what to do outdoors this year ..also how mush land was that next to you for 15 gs just trying to get an idea how much land is out that way

 

[markscastle]

Oh I got plenty to do outdoors when the weather gets better. I found out the property next to me is priced at $25,000 not 15,000 There are also two 2.5 acres proprties near by here for $12,500 each.

Woke up to snow again this morning.About 4 inches so far. I`m going to put the truck in 4 wheell drive and try to take some videos back to Blockbuster this after noon.Not much to do until the snow melts again.

 

[markscastle]

Rain and thunder last night and then woke to an other inch of powder snow. It`s mostly gone now and was sunny all day. I had two more sprouts come up, a Pre 98 and a Dodbite. Also just planted some Pre 98,Dogbite,ToK,kandahar,and a couple of the Sierra Leone I got from Bodhi.Will be starting some other strains soon now that I have enough of the ones I`ve already started.

 

[markscastle]

It looks like sunny warm weather for the next few days now.I have a bunch of strains I`m going to rush through.I`m starting with some that are 14+ years old and see what I get if anything. The next batch will be White Rusky,1998 Aloha White Widow,Budha,Barrier Reefer,Sour Diesel,Extra Sour Diesel, Chocolate Diesel,and Kushberry x Surge`s OG Kush. Comming right up behind that will be Danberry Blue,Blackberry,Skywalker,Superhero,Chemdog 91 x ToK,White S1`s,G13,and AK-47.I may also add ToK x AK-47? The AK-47 is a dank sweet/ cotten candy pheno I`ve had for many years.

I really got to rush these all along because I have so many more to get working on. I could hold off on the white S1`s because they are fresh seed. I may just run them with some White Fire and some wifi OG Kush? Or I could just run a couple seeds now and the rest later? Or I could just run two and clone em for a bud grow? Not sure yet. I wonder how they grow outdoors?

 

[markscastle]

WOW!!! I already have one `Budha` seed and several `Extra Sour Deisel` seeds popping over night! Didn`t expect that from 14+ year old seeds! Many have yet to sink in the cups of warm water as expected.Just have to give a little extra time and see what I can get out of these old seeds.Some of the seeds from last batches were 30-40 years old and I got enough of them to pop to insure saving the strains.

Didn`t get any Cali `O` but that strain is far from rare anyway. The Pre-Soveit Kandahar and the Sierra Leone were 40+ years old. Of course it`s still along ways until I get fertal seed from any of the strains.

These are not some of the oldest seed I`ve had luck with,still! I think the trick is in storage.Got to keep em dry and cold! I also use some other secret stuff both to get them to germ and give them vigor in early growth. This is one of the reasons the guys at Sacred Seeds wanted me to come aboard with them when I was a pup. I did majic so they called me the `Little Wizard`. I gess I`m the Old Wizard now LOL! Sometimes I do regret not working with them more but they weren`t very stealthy and in those days it could end very bad for you to become well known. We still had J. Edger to deal with!

 

[markscastle]

Yep it can be done! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46456116

 

[motherlode]

yup ^^^

saw that yesterday - good shit!

still holding out hope for some seeds I just came across from the early 90s

 

[markscastle]

motherload,what strain is it? How was it stored?

This is funny, the friend who is letting me use his grow room has asked me if I need an assistant. He has a PH.D in Horticulture! He`s been growing for many years but never did any breeding for some reason.He keeps asking me so many questions all the time. He does a great job on growing and cloning. He does know his shit when it comes to organics,soils, grow conditions,ect.I just don`t understand how he could have so much knowlege in growing and have so little knowlege about MJ strains!

 

[motherlode]

not stored very well im afraid - some where in a piece of folded foil - those were the real deal 3 baggies and still stinks up a room when you walk in skunk

others were in a bag from a a few crosses I did back in the day of strains that were from friends most peeps wouldnt have heard of - b1 and Yoshi crossed with a kick ass old NL from 91

I have heard that freezing them first might help - any thoughts on that?

 

[markscastle]

Wouldn`t hurt to freeze them for a few weeks. Plants need the cold to think they have gone through winter. I`d make sure you scuff them and then soak them in warm water at least long enough to sink. When seeds sink that means water has breached the shell.If they have stored enough energy they will germ. They will also need enough energy to grow a root system and new lief structure that can obsorb to energy from the light,water and soil. Even if they germanate they may not pop up through the soil or may be so weak as to die or be stunted plants. A weak sprout can die from mold spores that you never see.Use new enert soil for planting germinated seeds.They can`t use any foods in the soil for some time and even small amounts of ferts can hurt weak young seedlings at first. You can use small amounts of Mycorrhizae* and a weak sollution of B-1 and it can help starting seedlings.Once seedlings have there first set of leaves growing I also use a weak sollution of Fish ferts.Because cannibis picks up flavors from the soil like wine grapes do this is the only time I use fish ferts myself.

 

[motherlode]

thanks mark - I will do all those things - just came across more seeds too - some of these stored in glass vials

some kryptonite - blueberry - MIRV - and bunch of seeds from trichome techs original ultraviolet (now being peddled as "blue sky" or "sr71" purple kush) I am fucking stoked

 

[markscastle]

Nice find! Make seed of all those as well as take clones and keep mothers of em. I sometimes keep pollen up to two months in the freezer and use it later for pollenated clones.

Motherlode here`s alink you might want to check out; http://www.jlhudsonseeds.net/GibberellicAcid.htm

Got a lot done today.Cleaned it up outside the RV,fixed my 100gal water tank leak and planted a crap load of sprouted seeds in cups. Going to clean up the inside of the RV tomarrow and start looking at the next round of seeds to start soaking. I may also get around to calling a equipment rental place just to see how much it would cost to rent a dozer,it has to be cheeper than having someone else do the work or buying a used one. I might put up a few sticky adds at some of the local billboards and see if I get any hits.

 

[markscastle]

My next batch of seeds to start are;Danberry Blue,Blackberry,The White,AK-47,Skywalker,Green House -13,Chemdog 91 xToK,and Super Hero.I have some Wifi OG coming from Logic I may add if they get here in the next few days.

I plan on starting this batch as soon as the sprouts I planted in cups show there faces above the soil.

The Danberry Blue is sometimes called Dabney.The Green House -13 came from UC Kentucky as a Goverment Medical project years ago. The Chemdog 91 x Talk of Kabul were made by me but never did test them. I`m planing on a cross with the danberry x Blackberry to make Black & Blue for breeding.

 

[markscastle]

I need some idea of what to use to plug up a water leak.I have a 100 gal plastic water tank on a metal stand that had a crack in the bottem. I put J-B Water weld on the outside of the crack filling in the crack but it leaked. I then put three lares of Dab Latex caulk plus Silicone on the inside and it held for a while now it is leaking again. Not as bad though. What else can I use to patch my water tank besides fiber glass? I need as much water in contianers as possibe for use with my RV as well as watering my plants this year. I have to hull water to my camp site and would like to be stocked up.The small trailor holds a 150 gal water tank and I have a 300 gal tank that just needs cleaned out and a new valve put on it ,but I`d really like to be able to use the 100 gal tank as well.

Oh I recieved My order of White Fire seeds as well as a pack of free Kakalak Kush F2`s from Logic today! Super!!!!!

 

[markscastle]

I do plan on being on my property later this year but until the water system and septic is in I`ll be vegging the plants in pots. I want to get them in holes and later put up loop tunnels in Fall before the rains come. Don`t think I`ll have time to do a greenhouse this year.There is just so much work needs done!

 

[Zonkerly]

Im not for sure if it will work because of the pressure from the water on it,but what about the black flexy spary can they been advertise on tv.The guy sprays a window screen door that on the bottum of a boat and floats on a pond with it!!

 

[markscastle]

I was thinking about that also but what is it called? It`s some kind of spray on rubber I think.
