The Xplode Plant Experiment

God dam there taking for ever to grow :) for day 7

outnin said:

day 6 veg;
well there popping all over the place I should be able to thin them out to 4 healthy seedlings per pot.
the other pot is acting right now as a squirrel distraction but I have 3, 7 year old bubble gum seeds and 4 critically smashed seeds germing ready to plant asap.I need a capacitor something fierce now

From what I have read you are not supposed to start counting days in the veg cycle until you have 4 sets of true leaves and the cotyledon leaves start to die off, until then the plant is considered a seedling.

I was wondering about that thanks again doc

OK I'm back
had to take some time to reconfigure regroove and depestify.
the only 2 sole survivors are 2 ot the bubbles f1 seeds that somehow made it through mites squirrels ticks aphids whiteflies some kind of subterranean root eater and last but not least hungry mealy bugs that are in fact a crustacean and therefore cannot be easily healed by organic means. my method and arsenal included a hot shot no pest strip, that got rid of the mites and whiteflies. a spray solution of dawn and water killed the aphids, and the mealy bugs won out in the end I had to replace one of the planters with fresh soil/ planter. now things are looking happy again with good growth coming along and a mad pheno hunt with my new seeds. I have narrowed my first batch of bubbles f1 to 4 and am on the way to being at the same status with the widow f2 seedlings as well. I soil planted 50 or 60 seeds in a ring and have chosen the strongest and the sturdiest as I go. I am seeing 3-4 phenos from bubbles and the widows are to little to tell still. I do have a nice tri lobed seedling I plan on holding onto.

howdy folks, things are growing along fine and the pheno hunt continues. it feels silly growing out this many but it's a process. out of 4 bubbles f1 seedlings i have 4 phenos. they all are indicas for sure but they look and smell different so I am hopeful that I will get a few keepers, I have thousands of seeds.
the widow f2's are coming along nicely and 3 of the 4 skunk and nycpd came up.
it will be a pretty scrog I think.

scrog stage one

things are looking up

continued training the inner growth is going nuts.

I plan on installing the net in a week

hey all, Looking good here with the explode experiment coming along nicely. the bubbles f1 seedlings have very indica prolific side shoots and the widows have taken to horizontal training they are just happy as clams.
I have a question where should I hang the net Am thinking 4-6 inches above the tallest shoots aught to do it. We are looking at a long veg but thats ok hopefullyI can get 15 to 16 ozs out of this space that would be 1/2 gr / watt

training complete now on to flower Pheno hunt is on
