Kuwl - Rollin' Along

[kuwl]

They struggling to get their heads up after 6 days, but they're alive. (ED Effect lol)

So I figure, go all in
Planted 3 more seeds

Wedding Cake
Cherry Pie
Gold Leaf

All fem seeds
All in Burpee Dirt (I seen it has perlite in it also)
They will stay in the tent for the whole grow.
Which means I can use the FC 4800 light
Lots $ for electricity but will be worth it with 6 plants in the grow tent.
I am thinking of a 4 week veg then 12/12 well that is the plan
but it might change after I see how they do.

 

[kuwl]

Fed Only 5 Gal. Pots
Dyna Gro
1 tsp. Foliage Pro
1 tsp. Pro-Tekt
Per Gal.
600 PPM

 

[kuwl]

Fed the 10 gal today ( Bruce Banner)
Botanicare
1 tsp. CNS17 Grow ( 3-1-2 )
1.25 tsp. Pure Blend Pro ( 3-2-4 )
625 PPM

I see flowers forming :)
On all 3

Also all 3 new seeds popped
Sadly the first 3 are struggling so I put 3 more in
Near where I put the first seeds, same pots, maybe they will do better.

 

[kuwl]

Bruce Banner = 32"
Gh Tr H = 35"
GSC = 20"
They are growing stil,l about an inch a day so far.

Outside Temp = 85°
GH is 124° lol

I had a plant called Holland's Hope awhile back
and it was an Indica strain I beliive and it grew very similar
to these plants, long n tall with no side shoots. One big cola.
I should get at least an ounce off each but the GSC looks like only half an oz
Everything looking good.

BB

GTH

GSC

They lovin the Sun

 

[kuwl]

Fed the hungry 5 gal pots today ( GSC, GTH )
In 1 Gal. jugs of water
1 tsp. Dyna-Gro Bloom ( 3-12-6 )
1/2 tsp. Dyna-Gro Pro-Tekt ( 0-0-3 )
1tsp. Fish Fertilizer ( 5-1-1 )
600 PPM
I watered first with 1 gal. each rain water to wash out old nutrients
then fed with above mix.
Next feed will be with Foliage Pro and Pro-Tekt

3 New Seedlings are coming along nicely but the others Not so good
Popped the new seeds in a few days ago but no sign of germination yet.

One time I took out a pot that had a seed in it for a week or so
took it outside set it down and forgot about it
A week later I glanced down and there it was a germinated seedling growing just fine.
If these don't germ I gonna take em outside ha

 

[kuwl]

2 of 3 popped this morning
but one don't look healthy and neither of the Gorilla Glue seeds did not pop yet
Having trouble with those seeds they didn't look good to begin with
I took them outside yesterday but brought them in
at dusk and put them back in the tent, this morning they popped
The seeds that germ'ed are in the middle of the pot, they are the old ones, that were planted 2 weeks ago!
There are still un-germinated seeds in those same pots about 2 inches away
Holy Cow! if they germ I will have to surgically remove them to transplant.

I turned off the center 2 T5 lights yesterday
They are about 4 inches from the seedlings
I figured maybe to much light and heat and it seemed they like it better
Raining today so the others stayed in the GH till it stops

Keeping track of everything is going to challenge me lol
Well I can't get any grayer but might start to lose more hair.

 

[kuwl]

Fed Bruce Banner in 10 gal pot today
Botanicare
2 n 1/2 tsp PBP
1 tsp Liquid Karma
1/2 tsp Cal Mag
800 PPM
Yes, I am upping the Nutrients because I have in the past with great success.
I prob will go as high as 900 PPM before I start dropping it.
I use 2 gallons of nutes when I feed the 10 gal beast. Oh that pot gets heavy lol
Posting this as my own reference because I forget to write it down, getting old sucks.

Friday the 13th
Superstitious? Who Me? lol

Bruce Banner in the 10 gal pot is 35" tall
Ghost Train Haze in a 5 gal pot is 35" tall
Girl Scout Cookies also in 5 gal pot is 21" tall
They all seem to be still growing

Fed GTH and GSC today
Dyna-Grow
1.5 tsp Foliage Pro
1 tsp Pro Tekt
.5 tsp Cal Mag
850 PPM

Cherry Pie, Wedding Cake and Gold Leaf doing well @ 1 week
New kids Blue Dream and MK Ultra doing well also
Neither of the Gorilla Glue seeds germinated yet
I put them outside today.

I guess I will try new method for last 2 GG seeds and hope they germ for me.
Maybe put in glass of water for 24 hrs then into dirt
or split an put one in wet paper towel in a saucer on top of my cable box (worked once before)

Pics
Week 4 of 12/12 outside
They have some healthy big huge leaves
Some how they don't look right to me or I'm coo coo for cocoa puffs
I have to look back at some earlier pics of past plants to see what they look like at wk 4
These plants popped 6-6 and won't be ready till end of Sept.
so I hope they stack up better than what I am seeing now.
My 5 back ups are staying in the cellar for the whole grow.

My go to trick for popping seeds now is soaking about 20 waste seeds ( off hermied batch ) in a 1/2 cup of water.overnight (18hrs) then toss those seeds and use the water to pop your good seeds into overnight. (Youtube) It works really well. It's supposed to release growth hormones and other good shit into the water. I then paper towel it with the same water for 1-2 days in a small sealed plastic container. Long shoots that quickly grow has been my results from doing that so far.

That looks like road dirt in the mini pots. What is it really?

I think the heat effects them more than too much light off the T5's. I have 10 Jamaican crosses going about the same size as yours and I'm keeping them about 4-6" away now that they are a couple of weeks old some grow right up to the light without hurting them but once they touch they burn.

Not to worry about the hair loss....it reappears in your ears,nose & on your ass. Its just re arranged

I have a fk of a time keeping track of who what and when. I just started numbering them instead of naming. I can reuse the sticks then too. I was transposing GC with GB or BG with CG in my brain then onto the computer its no wonder why some are over fed and others under. lol

Burpee Organic potting soil, can't get nothin around here since flu hit

I did do that number thing on my first inside grow cause they were all unkown strains given to me as clones lol and ya is easier.

I'm going to give it a try with what's left of my gorilla glue seeds
but going to wait a week just to see if any more pop cause the 2 youngest ones
took 14 days to germ, weird but not unheard of .

I would look at possibly coco substrate on the internet, I get bricks sent to me, and they blow up 5->10x in size. Works really well, at minimum, you could use it as something to mix in, and lighten the soil a bit more. But judging by your other plants, it might be helpful, but not entirely necessary. It's a judgement call IMO, and cost is always a factor. But generally for $30, your getting a pretty good size brick, and could be used for nothing more than seedlings, then transfer into the other as the plant gets a more developed root base.

Just offering up suggestions. Looks like you've got a bit invested in seed there, so it might be worthwhile.

 

[Frankster]

If your ever having problems with gem rates, look at some of my cultivars, because I can assure you they pop virtually every time. Usually in less than 2 days.

14 days? Wow after 2 - 3 days if they're not popped I don't have any success with the seeds. Even some that do pop if they're not vibrant and only grow a short tail I don't have any luck with them. The trouble I have is predicting numbers I'll have to flower when I start with seeds. If I try and pop 10 and only 6 grow then half are fems I'm down to 3 plants..... not enough So I try and pop 20 and 18 crack now I have too many to deal with but I can't toss any because 12 or more could be males with my luck. I once cracked 7 Chem Dog 5 were males. I won't turn my 1000w on for only 2 plants so I vegged them until their clones caught up to them 3 months later. I did grow 2 beautiful big CD though after 6 months of growing

Not the first time it has happened to me but very rare.
Usually it takes 2-3 days when I pop them in about a 1/4 inch in soil.
So that is an anomaly. I have 2 seeds left of Gorilla Glue and will change it up and
use your method since I have some seeds leftover from previous grows that gave me
an abundance of seeds for the water trick.

Do you put the sealed container in a area of sun or in the dark?

 

[kuwl]

Somehow I found Pipecarver's page to bm it and read but for the life of me
I cannot find how I did it so cannot read others pages sorry bout that.
I click on everything but nothing takes me to the forum page I want to go to lol

Wow I always thought you can't touch the roots lol then seen your fingers on them blows my mind for a minute'
then thought I guess its ok but them are some fine looking roots for sure!!!
