6 Assorted strains all in the same trough- Growdoc style.

R

Ronley

I took a small 'trough of sand' and planted:

2 seeds of Zeps Gumballs, 2 seeds of Gypsy's Very berry surprises, 2 skunk, 2 Durban, 2 Old Ed, and 2 Etzel powers (home cross) - all together 12 seeds.

I planted similar to Growdocs method as his method is awsome and I have to try it. (lots of seeds about 5 cm apart in a tray of sand with no drainage and no cropping-)
Plan is single Thick resinous frosty perfect colas,.
Its a crowded Trough but then so is Growdocs grows- but I just have to try it.
Although I am doing this outside with real sun and I can only let everyone grow naturally and happily as much as possible.

When there will be something besides a small trough of sand to photograph, then there will be nice nice photos.

Very Exciting....

Actually the Durban, Skunk and Old Ed did not come up, so I planted in its place, 2 seeds each of the following:
Bogs Lifesaver,
Bogs BlueMoon Rocks,
Etzel Divine (home cross of Etzel power with G13)

We have all surfaced.

wow that thing might get a little cramped Ronley. You thinking of replanting in a bigger planter or just leaving them in there. Not saying it wont work You will probably get a bigger yeild in a bigger planter though.

Ronley

I want to leave them all in the same container and see how it goes. Its an experiment based on Growdoc's method.
He plants lots of seeds in a bed of sand, does not crop the plants and has amazing results.
If it fails then i will have wasted a few good seeds:-(
and if not i will get a fine crop. :)

Ya i know Grodocs method im doing it too :D THe only reason id say to put em in a bigger planter is because Growdoc usually has about 3-4 inches between his plants so they have enough rooting room. It will be a good experiment though cause i have some of those troughs laying arround from my shroom growin anyways!

Thats excellent Purple stuff. I am sure that they will grow beautifully.
 
Hey Ronley I've seen your threads and you seem to be a pro grower, so I had a little problem I think you might be able to help me out with. After my seedlings grew about 5 cm both of the plants just sorta started to grow in a different direction instead of straight up. Is this normal?
 
R

Ronley

Purple Stuff it all depends on your light source, They alway grow towards the sun, (or strongest light source) so it is very normal, that they do this. All plants do this.

You could always turn the container, if this bothers you, or better still if they are long or tall enough you can tie them down. Tieing down promotes branching and growth because the tip of the plant wants to grow up, and also branches out. something about AUXINS flowing and is what causes this promoting

Check out this interesting and informative tread by Caprichoso on tying plants http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=6090

Thank you for your kind compliment.
