9 strains in germ

[Facelesdoll]

So I'm currently germinating 9 different strains to be grown in a fox farm Happy Frog mix with Coco coir and giant coarse perlite. These I intend on running with the vegamatrix line, og tea vss, og roots Webster, rapid start, and molasses. Currently these babies are sitting on a heat pad with a plastic heat sink between so that they do not overheat while germinating. This will hopefully be my first grow Journal, Review, slash working The Kinks out of my operation. I totally get that my chances of finding decent phenotypes is going to be very difficult while using such small volumes of seeds per strain. After all of the bad mouth and I heard about the heavy duty fruity I decided to put those on the back burner and forget that I ever decided to purchase them thinking they were something decent to check out. I have 18 heavy duty fruity beans but I'm still waiting to hear some kind of good experiences reviews of heavy duty fruity to make me consider popping those beans one day. For the first month of their lives they will be sitting under a duel 4 foot 6500k 32w ge bulbs and then will be put under either an led or hps/mh duo. Taking requests and recommendations. For those who can't see I will be running one DNA holy Grail kush, 1 G13 labs blueberry gum number 2, 2 rare dankness long Peaks blue, 1 Moxie seeds lemon cake, 1 blimburn seeds OG Kush, 1 Reserva Privada Skywalker kush, 1 Barney's Farm seeds Pineapple Chunk, 1 Barney's Farm seeds Liberty Haze, 1 G13 labs cheese. yeah I suppose I have plenty of other beans I can run right now but these are some freebies I would sure like to get rid of first. Some have mixed reviews and some of the other ones I have pretty good reviews about them not that all of them Tickle My Fancy or anything. What's to lose other than soil time and a little money?

At 16 hours on the DOT I went to go check my germinating seeds and coming across my first seed it has already cracked what looks to be approximately a two-hour old Taproot popping out. I will be going through the rest of them and putting them into soil if they have popped

 

[Facelesdoll]

60% of 10 seeds have cracked and have been planted in soil and will be placed on a heating pad. A lower watt bulb will be put on them in approximately 12 to 18 hours while their tap Roots try to establish. I never would have thought only 16 hours would pop 6 out of 10 seeds. My new method of incubating maximizes your temperature without exceeding the mark grade temperature

 

[Facelesdoll]

At 21 hours 7 out of 10 popped. The remaining three or either extremely small premature or really small and black. Both of which I have had experiences in them either being runt/mutants or Dead on Arrival. Luckily only 1 out of the 3 which definitely for sure was a highly anticipated strain. The three who did not make it where the G13 Labs cheese the DNA genetics Holy Grail kush and unfortunately the Barney's Liberty Haze which I was not expecting to be very hazy. The Libertyhaze was the one that I was anticipating the most of those 3. I thoroughly inspected those three seats and none of the three looked like anything they would for the most part sprout a vigorous healthy plant. In their places are strawberry amnesia, 1 bubbas gift, 1 g13haze from barneys farm. The new three are in the incubation chamber

Shawing!

Shawing!

Ok so it's been aeons. I get it. But any who! I had an issue or two dialing in my ph and over watering with my medium. They were all sorts of growing sluggish and having some funky issues. I think I worked all of the kinks out and got them rolling. I even have the runt doing backflips and the pineapple chunk is a mutant(stacks 4 nodes in under an inch) Weeks behind where they should be. Confusing what they were in lack of doing they have come back around. Prior to but also including bonus growth after I turned on the mh and retired them from fluoro. 36hrs ago they went under 150w mh and were under a dual 4 foot t8 6500k. I am running so minimal in a good size 5x5x6.5 foot tent. Considering what I have to work with and that I'm running minimal, taking over obstacles that front me, don't judge too hard. I have been doing research so I know happy frog fox farm is not great. I know I should have a ppm and ph meter If not a digital EC tds ppm ph meter that adjusts for temperature and all. But I'm bare bones. Figuring all of these ingredients out and checking this style out for my first time. I did top them already I know, I'm wrong. But I figured worst case if they didn't make it i could recover clones possibly. Lst'd a few, gently removed the lowest nodes branches before they could be anything viable 1/2 mm in size or less, and left that nodes fan leaves on to read for ph and/or other issues that might climb up. They weren't doing good on the lower leaves in one way and that stopped and then the top started doing something else. Ok ok ok so anyways back on topic. I fixed both ph issues and over watering and the plants are doing better. Their ride should be better lived from here on out. And for the record the strawberry amnesia was about the third or fourth smallest plant out of all and is now definitely showing some really strong vigor. And yes I admit to mangling their leaves in order to allow light at the lower branches to promote growth a practice I know many people don't practice anymore.

Ultimately ended up getting rid of the runt(lemon cake) for not developing well, the Skywalker for super stretching, and will be getting rid of the blimburn og's for not looking promising, and might even trash the pineapple chunk further down the line. I am only going to waste energy and time on keepers. The strawberry amnesia and bubbas gift look the best in vigor and seem to eat anything I feed them. Pictures coming.......

So I'm having an issue with few of my plants. It only really seems to be affecting the bottoms right now but it also seems like it could be climbing. The leaves first start yellowing and then now I'm seeing an evolved issue. I'm wondering if they could just be rootbound? They are all getting the same pH bat they have been getting for a while although a few of the plants did seem to outgrow their pots. I'm still using the vegamatrix and the ogt veganic Special Sauce. Here is an example of one of the evolved issues on one of the lower leaves. I did replant them all into a much bigger container and I'll show photos and what I transplanted them from and what I transplant them into. For right now this is literally all I could think of and it was up to me an emergency situation but I figured the worst thing that could happen is nothing better or nothing worse than they were. Hopefully they were just getting rootbound. Any thoughts or anything would be I appreciate it. I've been adjusting the pH to be about 6 and I have tested my runoff in the range of 7 to 7.2. I'm wondering if maybe they need magnesium and calcium? Today is their 16th day of flower so I started their week three feeding. Could it have been a salt build up? The mix amusing is approximately 13% growstones 13% perlite 37% Happy Frog and 37% Coco coir.

These are the five of nine that I decided to keep. Tturned the other ones into bouquets of Valentine's flowers aand gave them out to friends. Here are the pots that they were in before being transplanted 1-1.5g not sure. I know planting them all in the community container doesn't usually come up as a good idea but it's all I have right now so I figured it would do just to flower them.

 

[Facelesdoll]

No one replies but anyways. A lower fluff showing it's crust. The stink is real.

 

[Parallax]

Nice grow - hows the flowering?

 

[Slabs]

would like to see how this turned out brotha

 

[Floridian]

A lot of times a simple yellowing isn't N at all but a mag. deficiency,I would feed them some Epsom salts at 1 tbls per gallon,and a good N source.Its really too bad you had to plant them together like that in one container,next time I really would try to flower them in individual containers.Happy growing!
