Nice to see ya back! I was wondering where the hell ya were. Nice report, and a very nice yield! I am going to put a link to your report in that post in the very beginning of this thread.
You gonna get anything else going now?
Regarding those pretty little plants ya got goin there...do you happen to know the lineage of the Belladonna strain? As in, what percentage indica and sativa its parents are?
We might be able to give ya a few pointers...but give us the particulars of your set up first. Like, how big are the pots you're growing in, how tall are the plants, how many days have they been flowering, what kind of soil mix are you using, etc. These are all important, and can affect final yield.
rkrone said:hey earthdog, those sound like some great strains but was there any single one besides the rhino that grows extremely well under 12/12 conditions?
earthdog said:howdy rkrone ~ the sat/ind mixes all did well...to me that means dense sugary buds were harvested. sorry, no camera = no pics. i'm a bit paranoid about pics anyhoo.
Lofty said:i intend to set up a little grow area for wen the seeds pop, there'll b on 12/12 same as the rest and i'm guna use 2x200w blue spec envirolites, so my question is, how far from the lites shud the seeds b wen they pop.
hal, atmosphere, munkie, harris or anyone else.
this wud giv me the chance to bring the seeds on without having to stack them up on boxes to get them near the 2 x 600w hps i'm using, plus i'll b able to get the humidity up there for wen they pop.
atmosphere said:One of these old growing techniques is to work with cuttings. With those cuttings you have to rely on what the market has to offer you.
Apart from that, you have to ask yourself if you really got what they told you they should give.
Also you often get spider mites and/or thrips for free.
And on top of that the price of cuttings has gone up dramatically over the last years.
And then…….. you have to hope they “catch on” immediately.
Most of the time this is not the case and you see them “catch on” only after about a week to 10 days.
Years ago I wrote: we are returning to seed culture instead of cuttings.
And see… I’ve seen signs left and right that I was telling the truth back then.
atmosphere said:GO AND WORK WITH SEED!
It’s cheaper, easier, anonymous and legal, no more waiting and carrying around suspicious wet boxes, no more spider mite/thrips. Your growing rooms don’t stay empty unnessarily....

atmosphere said:Sow 3 seeds for every 2 females you need, 20 days before you harvest. Use good sowing/cutting soil with clay in it! ....
Not to sound rude, but if you read the thread from the start you will understand a little more about why to go from seed not cuttings. Going from cuttings has been mentioned and how to do so on your own. There is a logic to the 12/12 method. You can also collect the pollen from a male and pollenate a plant or two outside the room and return it to finish flowering for seed as well.kooki said:Just wanted to point out that u dont have to go elsewhere for cuttings, u can grow from seed to start, and build up a small collection of mothers(or a large one depends on space the grower etc etc) time invested is always rewarded in the end, and for some growers that patience is rewarded.
no rudeness taken chosen, but i have been taking an interest in this thread and have read it ,i made the above statement as i found that interesting, and a reason some may choose the seed 12/12 route.kooki said:.....You make an argument for grown from seed SOG as opposed to grown from clone SOG, being the seed plant will show more vigour and less lateral branching, which is interesting . Not arguing against that point either. ....
