Wintertime GreenPassion Grow~Together!~come and join the fun!
It seems that several of us have grows with plants pretty much the same age. I am starting this thread so we can all grow together as well as each of us have our own journals. This will be a lot of fun for everyone, I hope. The only prizes are our crops, and the fun we will have with sharing with our friends. This is a great way to show the world what a great site we are and how GreenPassion wants to green the world!
Only rule is the contributor must have a grow journal going on GP. Hydro, soil, whatever, doesn't matter, just join in!
sweet cant wait to see the results oh and do i put the pics here or on my grow journal? or like make a post here when ever i post pics on the grow log or.....?
How about we do portraits of them all maybe once a week, or so. No grow facts or info, all that goes in your journal.
Just state the basics eg:
Lights: for veg and flowering
Variety, (Name)
Hydro or soil
type of hyrdro or soil
when planted
and general information we all have about the variety.
Then if we find something perculiar to that genus we can share info.
Add any other ideas guys.
Okay, get your first posts ready, we can start with the earliest and work to now.
1 afghani#1 from sensi seeds - unfeminised
100% indica
afghan indica
flowering: 45days, yield 125g (?) MEDIUM: organic dirt and worm casting/coco/perlite mix in 5L pots LIGHTS: 400W HPS - veg+flowering - currently on 16Hrs light for vegging NUTES: Technaflora 'recipe for sucess' and GHE micronutrients GROWER STATUS: 13yr guerrilla - 1st time indoor (i feel born again!) ANYTHING ELSE?: A,C,E were LST'd, D eas FIM'd and B was left alone cause she was so pretty CURRENT STATUS: they are all roughly 4 weeks old, and have come inside this week after vegging outdoors at 12 hours sunlight.
this caused the afghan to sex (shes a girl). this also caused them to be slightly stunted, thin and almost colourless. they have reacted very well to the HPS - sudden rapid growth and darkening of the leaves in just 3 days
photo 1 was today
photo 2 was the day they came in on the 13th (full moon)
photo 3 are the sprouts plant B is in the front unsprouted and weak, afghan i back right
photo 4 the the church family portrait at roughly 2 weeks
photo 5 miss afghanistan at roughly 2 weeks
photo 6 plant B at 2 weeks
My babies are High Grade Seeds Blueberry. I have others growing as well so look in my journal for more. For this log I will just post my Blueberry.
Set to Germinate Oct. 11 o8, one popped immediately and the others a day or so later.
Veg: under T-5 Florescent with 6400k tubes, and red spectrum cfl and t-8floro.
Flowering: will be under a 400w HID conversion bulb, from MH
Exhaust: 6 in. vortex for hot air exhaust, and 12 in of passive air intake from the outside low in the room. Also have numerous fans everywhere.
Organic soil grow ~ Modified Videoman's soil recipe
Includes for veg: bone meal, Fox Farm American pride, Dolimite lime, perlite (aprox. 30% perlite) and good quality soiless mix without ferts added. (includes 10%perlite in this mix) For flower: same as above with bloodmeal added. aprox. 1 tbls per gallon or less (very hot)
Nutes: For Veg: are Fox Farm Tiger Bloom, musky fish fert, Superthrive, Humic acid, SM-90, Mag/cal. For Flower: Fox Farm big Bloom, Mag/cal, SM90, superthrive after transplant, Humic Acid, and Black strap molasses.
Water: is RO water I bring in every week. Or rain water or dehumidifier water.
Now ya know,
LET'S GROW!
The last pictures are taken November 2, 2008. I will add more later today. I have already transplanted them once to increase the root zone on the stretched babies. I do this all the time to aid in root growth. The last shots are during this.
My Blueberry and White Widow are from Highgrade also.
I learned in this, germination process, that you don't touch the paper towel without washing your hands. Turned my first 6 Blueberry to a petri dish. Did it again to the 2nd one, saved the 2 out of 3, and got 2 for 2 on the White Widow.
Soil is "Shultz Garden Safe" organic soil, with bone meal and more perlite.
I feed a light mix of MG all purpose, twice since vegging, light mix of 4-12-4 last night in prep for flowering to come. Distilled water only for me.
Lights were cfls of varying spectrum/wattage, under the 400 watt HPS now and untill the end, with some cheap T-8 side light later on.
Target harvest date circa Feb 1, 2009.
BB on the left WW on the right.
Peace.

Hi gusy,how are you.
I've been trying to pull myself to start new grow journal for last couple of weeks so maybe that project will motivate me to do it.
I'm growing some old good strains I tried before - AK-48 and Bubblelicious and some new ones like Papaya and Aurora Indica. All seeds came from Nirvana.
I grow in soil - BioBizz Plagron Light Mix.
Light - veg- 2x200W CFL - one red and one blue.Flowering - 400WHPS
Nutrients - BioBizz- BioGrow and Root Juice for the veg. BioBizz - Bio-Bloom,Alg-A-Mic and Top Max for flowering.
germination date - 29.10.
I had some problems with Aurora seeds - didn't want to germinate,didn't want to grow and if so had twisted leafs.the rest was ok.
here you have some pictures from the beggining till now.will update soon.
all the best lads, let it grow!!!

I will be starting a journal in a couple of weeks. Just ordered seeds. First time, ever. I have been quite satisfied with my bagseed sativa, but, my wife likes a more indica dominant strain. So, I ordered "Cluster Bomb" from HGS. From their description, it looks to be a great producer, of bud and buzz.
Great Pappy! Will be looking foreward to watching the mystro at work! Join in the fun when you are ready, sweetie. Love to have you come along for the ride!
five days in the cab and im amazed at the growth on the ladies... amazing.
its exciting. there is definately a diference, all healthy.
today im giving them a preventive foliar dose of neem oil.
they are watered every two days with 1,5 L of water and fed every 3-4 waterings. i darent give them too much as the soil already has some nutes.
im probably overfeeding them already. maybe i shouldnt feed them till they ask me to
Here are some fresh shots of my babies. They are doing well! I now have them under the T-8 florescents as I need the room for my veging girls. They do not seem to mind in the least. Growing just as well.
