I have been meaning to start this thread for a bit now but had a run in with fungas gnats sooo....I had to make sure I would still have plants. So far I seem to be winning!

Here is the journal for one of my favorite tasting smokes so far: Blueberry ! brought to you by our good friends at High Grade Seeds. I have had these for a few months but you know how busy life gets! Anyway, I germinated these seeds starting on the 11th of October 2008, with the moist papertowel method and just put in the dark on a shelf above my t-5 lights. one promptly jumped into action, and the other 3 caught up a couple days later. I will just post pics and this is all ending with them being transplanted into their first deeper pots. I purposly let them streatch to add root volume to my plants. Now I have them under my T-5 florescent tube fixtrure at 6400k and with added red spectrum lights from the sides in front(T-8 size) and back (cfl's 2700k). They had some holes in the first leaves, I think from some damage from the fungan gnats, but they are going well past that now and strong. i still will bury the stem a couple of inches more when they are next transplanted, right up to and just under those coloidal leaves. Never above those.

...the rest are from the other day and yes, nice strong seedlings, well on their way to being what I love!

Here are my other girls. I transplanted these girls to big buckets Oct 6th and 11th so that is my date of flower starting. I will just post the pics to show the story ~ here are the clones I am flowering this time. 2 Kish ~ 2 WW x Skunk, and 3 Ambrosia. All have also had those damn fungas gnats but seem to be doing well...

Hope ya like them ~ ! ~

Peace!

...and also a Northern Flame! Here are some shots of my veging area and my clones over there. As well as my bonsia's. this is when the plants where first put to flower on the 6th of October.

I now have the White Widow cross into big pails. With the fungas gnats I have been holding the girls back as I wanted to get rid of them in the smaller containers. These girls have REALLY been held back as they where started in August from seed. Let us also see how these girls do as well!

..this is just Ambrosia! ....purdy huuuu???

..This is my other all time favorite, Kish, otherwise known as Shiskaberry from The Vancouver Seed Bank. Nice fruity taste, giggly high like blueberry. I have 2 I am flowering this time. I found it gets tall, and can be sensitive to nutes. Well worth it though.

As you can see many of my girls are LST'ed to increase the crop

...here we go!

I have been told this lot of seeds have so far not produced any boys. Let's hope that keeps true! These are the girls I
have held back from flowering. I also know they stretch big time in flower so I have just given them a big pail each. They where so pot bound, the roots where heavily wrapped around the rims of both plants. I am hoping the leaf problems I have seen where due to being root bound and not any other deficiancy. Yesterday they where potted up into big pails, with my variaition on vid's soil recipe and fed well with grandma eneggy's concoction, some stuff to kill the fungas gnats, which does not seem to have a bad affect on the plants so until I am sure they are 100% gone I will continue to use it, some molasses, superthrive, and FF Big Bloom. Here are the pics. With these girls I have topped them both long ago, one I am Supercropping, and the other I am LST'ing with chains, so I can see how they each react to the different techniques. Could be interesting!

Supercropped little White Widow ... then I started low stress training the other little White Widow. And last picture is both of them together.

...so far so good!

Any questions please ask! I love questions!

Jangle,
Thanks for another great thread, I never knew you could let a seedling stretch, to add root volume I need to try this, sounds like a useful technique. It also looks like you have a full house again. lol

hey GSR! Thanks for taking a look! yes, I also let tomatoe plants stretch, that is why I thought of it, same with cukes. Anything that will make new roots on it's stalk you can do it to. flowers, whatever you grow!

I have even read of some growers putting rooting compound on that bit of stem and that it helps.
