Luther Dogman (Chem4 x Sensi Star) Tested by primo303

My room is more or less complete..finally. Although I think I may be needing to add a mini split to my setup in the near future. Everythings been transplanted and on the mend.

Last night, after scoring and moving seeds to a paper towel for 24 hours (after soaking in glass of water for 48) I had 4 more popped--7 out of 10. All were put in Roots Original ~1/4-1/2'' deep, radicle tip down, hinge up. Will check and update this evening to see if any have broke the surface..maybe even a pic or two.

Little update.. One has broke the surface, 2 others have little mounds in the dirt where they're pushing through. Should have a few more visible tomorrow.

8 of 10 are above the dirt. One pushed itself out of the dirt this evening, but I was doing some work and noticed it pretty much immediately. I made a small hole w a pick and carefully replanted. I always get a little concerned about damping off when I have to replant a seedling..too deep, getting the stem too wet as a result. I'm sure its just my paranoia. Anyway, the cups were sitting in the shade near a hps, but nowhere close..as you can see a couple got a little stretched, but I got em under a T5 now.
Maybe tomorrow my 2 late bloomers will show their faces.

Update:

Seedling that pushed out and replanted looking good today. One more popped..9/10 germ rate so far. Top of soil was a little crusty and I had some leftover tea, so I sparingly (~50-60mL/solo) watered around the rim of the cups. Tea was some samples I received of Bu's Best Tomato Tea, Age Old kelp, Strapped, and some beneficial samples (myco, soil, and kelp blast, and sweet myco tea from Supreme Growers and Azos).

That's a lil better! lol Shit, use a hammer and chisel if ya need to! :)

Rise of the lycans, beware of the Dogman .....here to enjoy the grow show @pRiMo303, I've been using that Myco Blast and Sweet Myco Tea, since my gals luv it so much I grabbed a nice amount of it from the local dro store. I think Cap's are the only products to offer more bacteria & beneficial fungi per gram than Supreme Grower's .....I add a smidge of Sea-90 and that seems to lead my fan leaves in prayer!!

@symbiote420 I generally use Caps in my tea, but I'm trying to clear my shelf off these samples. The Bu bags were samples too.
Usually I brew:
Root, Nute, Foliar Pack
EWC (bagged if I don't have fresh)
Bountea Humisoil/Bu's Bio-D
Alfalfa
Age Old liquid kelp
Strapped
Spike with Sea Green at end of brew

Have a bunch of brewer's yeast laying aroundII'm going to start experimenting w adding, that and the homemade EM-1.

And thanks for tuning in.

Still sittin at 9/10. Couple are a little lanky bc they were in the shade of an HID for a day or so before I got em under the T5..will start correcting once theyre more established.

Watered yesterday..

1/4tsp Pure Blend Tea
.125mL Rootamentary
.125mL Sea Green
1/4tsp PUR

Above rates are approximate, per gallon. Had some leftover mix and diluted down for the pups.

Things looking proper. Thinking #10 is a dud..still no action. 3 of 9 are starting their third set, not counting cotyledons. Other 6 aren't far behind. Throw some pics up in another day or two. Had an unexpected emergency in the garden today so didn't really have time for pictures.

Had some left over solution and watered last night..
Elemental 1tsp/gal (recommended rate 1tbs/gal)
Dr. Willard Catalyst 1oz/25gal (label says 2oz in rez regardless of size)
Pure Blend Tea 1tsp/gal (rec. rate 1-3tbs/gal)
PUR (myco sample I received)

All above rates were half to a third of the application rates, and solution was then cut in half prior to giving seedlings.

Gave them some OG Tea Veganic Special Sauce yesterday ~1/2 tsp/gallon. I meant to take some pics for comparison.. everyone I've spoke to that's used this product says guaranteed noticeable results within 48.

On another note, and a little off topic, I wanted to share some results I noticed from my most recent batch of clones. I generally see roots pop in 10-14 days..typically 100% success rate. On this round I had roots shooting out of the top of rockwool on day 9 on a few cuttings, and all others showed signs that they weren't far behind. The only significant difference in my regimen was I added a few drops of Beneficial Biologics Rootamentary per gallon when watering. App rates are 1-.125mL/gallon. I was maybe at .5 of .125mL, but next time will try .125.

Gave em 1tsp/gal Veganic Special Sauce and a couple drops Rootamentary. Little time in the
sunshine. Transplanting into 2 gallons tomorrow.

Update: I topped them Saturday night. I would've liked to even out the height on them to try maintain same height and compensate for my couple late bloomers, but removed only the newest growth on them instead. Was going to water tonight (Sunday) but medium was moist enough to get me through another day or 2.

I took some pics through my Method7s but forgot the flash was on and it reflected on the lens and didn't turn out well. I will post some more in another day or two. I'd like to flip in 7 days. Hopefully they'll be able to donate a couple cuts each my then.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Nothing much going on..starting to branch out a little from topping. Looking happy and healthy. The one in the back corner in the second pic not so much. It was sickly looking prior to transplant (extremely rootbound), but started to bounce back afterwards. Now it looks like shit again. Everything else in the room looking proper more or less. Got two others with some pretty bad yellowing/light green but I'm having a little trouble narrowing it down.

Also, I was gifted a little something. Missing all the PVC, tubing, inline filter, and uniseals, but I think I have sufficient pumps laying around. Gonna give it a go under one light next cycle to see what all the UC hype is about. I have never run hydro, so hoping for a good experience so I don't get turned off.

Its a (Luther) Doggy Dog World. These pups really taking off. Def will have sufficient # of cuts to be donated this weekend then 12/12 it is.

Cheers,

UPDATE..
LDs are a week in as of today. I'll be pulling everything out for a closer look this weekend, but from what I can see I appear to have a large ratio of males. Will confirm in a few more days.

p

So after looking today a few that I though were male clearly have pistils protruding from calyxes on the growing tip, but the lower nodes still look a little maleish
to me but they aren't clustered like the others that are def male. Will have an accurate tally this weekend as well as individual shots of the remaining plants. I don't have space for males so I will be donating them to a friend for pollen collection.

p

Wow @pRiMo303, the very same thing happened with the male Mack OG I was gonna keep, the lower preflowers for 3 nodes up are male the top 4 nodes had females .....I dunno? I still have 3 females so I tossed it from the grow but instead of killing it off I put it outside!
