Olde English Seed Co. - Big Daddy

CaptainHowdy · Jan 7, 2014

Howdy folks,

I've got a fantastic auto here I thought I'd show off. I've asked the breeder to pop along and say hello so once he's here I'll let him give you the run down. I will so though, this is one seriously powerful smoke :)

Here they are around 10 days old.

Had a few thrip issues to begin with as you can see but fingers crossed, that's under control now.
They're currently growing in 1 litre pots until they show sex and then they'll be transplanted into 10 litre air-pots, sharing a 125W CFL with another 6 plants of similar size, so they're doing really well considering. I'll be giving them a little more light in a day of two once a few plants have been moved on :)

Anyways, I'll be back with more updates as they grow. Until then, take care :)

are these from seraphim?

CaptainHowdy · Feb 10, 2014

Indeed they are sir, though I have a confession. I've used all my females for a quick seed run. All three are pollinated now so I'll get some pictures up of them soon but once finished (in about 4 weeks), I'll be germinating a bunch of the new seeds and I'll restart this grow so you can see them properly.

My apologies for the misfire :)

Peace

Those ten day olds look bigger then reg ten day olds hmmm imagine the day autos keep up with non-autos in a side by side. :cigar:

In my opinion dude, that day is already here lol. Come and have a look at my AutoWhite Widow and you'll see what I mean ;)

I'm gonna be germinating a few new seeds, both photo and auto, so I'll get them both up for you to compare :)

Thanks for stopping by Caveman

I'm still waiting for the seeds to mature so while we wait I'll keep you updated with another strain I'm growing called Treacle :)

Is that straight perlite or just a top layer?

CaptainHowdy · Feb 28, 2014

Yeah sorry, I should have said :)

They're being grown in soil but I've added a top layer of perlite just to keep any pesky bugs away from my girls. Plus, I also find it much more pleasing to look at so I'm doing it to all of my plants regardless.

I have grown in straight perlite once before though, worked really well but it was a slow old grow so I've not done one since.

Beginning of the second week with this set of Treacle's. Nothing to report as of yet :)

Cheers bro, coming on nicely now. Another few days and the males will start showing themselves. I don't need any atm so I'll kill those and replace them with a few other strains I have waiting in the wings :)

The Big Daddy seed run is nearly finished, 3/4's of the seeds are ripe now on one of the plants, this one's started showing some purple tones to the buds, and the other mother is about halfway there so it won't be long till I can start testing those as well. Can't wait, they smell fantastic :)

Treacle Day 14

1 down (male), 3 still chugging along :)

Cheeky bastard only sending out half a leaf lol.

Treacle - Day 17

Not much to report here. Two tall plants, two shorter ones.... 2 males, 2 females possibly?? Oh yeah, I've added a 4th plant to the grow to bring the numbers back up. It was gonna go outside but I thought I'd put it in here seen as I already had a male show itself.
