I was fortunate enough to be included in CSG's testing of their Connoisseur Chem (chem d x chem bx2). Thank you kindly to all at CSG and ICMAG.

I received 11 seeds and began by soaking them in RO water for 24 hours.

10/11 had cracked and begun showing a sprout. These were then moved to rapid rooters. I have not given up hope for the 11th seed though. She sprouted a day later and is a bit slow. Im keeping my fingers crossed. About half have been moved into keg cups of pure coco. The remaining will likely be done this evening. I will throw up some updated shots asap.

I plan on growing these in airpots of pure coco. For nutes I use a modified Lucas formula of Gen Hydro flora series. In addition Kool Bloom, Roots Excelurator, Hygrozyme, Cal-Mag, Floralicious, Mycorrhizae and a bit of Black Strap Molasses.

I like to keep my PH between 5.7- 5.9

Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words.
Im really looking forward to taking these all the way to flower. Im hoping to find a mother in these beans that will have a spot in my garden for years to come. I will post some updated shots today if I can get some time in the garden.

Irie. Cant say enough good things about airpots. It so obvious the plants love them. I decided to go large as I am a firm believer in larger roots = large yields. Also I figure I can always under fill them if I want to go smaller. I currently use the 4, 5, 6 and even a 8. These are approximate sizes btw. I think the 4 is a 4.4 and 6 is a 6.5.....

They seem to be a perfect match for coco as well. Though Im sure other mediums would work great too. There is a gap under the pot so the plant never sits in its runoff and always has its base expose to air. Highly recommended.

Here are a few updated shots. I have 10 transplated into keg cups. Not sure if #11 is going to make it or not. Looks like it has stalled out. Pretty happy with 10/11 either way.

Howdy hempluvr. Been meaning to update this thread.

I ran out of my normal coco and had to go with another brand of supposedly pre-rinsed coir. Unfortunately they seemed to not have taken to it very well and got off to a bit of a slow start. Though they are on the mend & starting to look good.

Will get some photos posted up asap. The wife has the camera in SE Asia so I will not be able to update photos until she returns.

Im really looking forward to finding a few Mom's to work with and possibly a stud.

Cheers,
BobbyP

These are gonna be super stinky, fingers crossed for lots of ladies.
I like you idea of putting the root riot cubes upside down so they done fall over without a tray.
Peace
