Anima's quest for the BEST!

[Anima]

well good news! all of the seeds survived their slight warming, and proceeded to show growth so into the dirt they went...

Mr GJ- yup gotta make the best outta what you have got...

SG55- I always start counting flowering when I flip the light...some strains will show preflowers even in veg...and I do use a paper towel, but just to make sure they pop their shells and get going, so I don't waste space with a sterile cup..

Yes i heard about the preflower thing & haven't had it till now. When i switched 12/12 it took about a week to show first sighns of sex but during that time i was battling heatstress problems & i had slow growth for a while. Now tnkx to the AC no more heat problems & they started growing each day nice & green Trichs are becoming sticky already!!!
goodluck germinating!!!

Thanks SG55
Random- heres a linky to the manufacturer:Linky
I think it was around $50, I'd call around...

AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMAN:
Baby pics for your viewing pleasure!!!
First up is a baby Apollo 11...All systems online.


Here is the other Apollo 11, just breaking through, It was kinda stuck in it's protective membrane, so I misted it with some filtered water and within 2 mins it broke open. I could see it move as it opened up ...I feel like I witnessed something special here:


And here is the Cali-Orange bud- rising to the occasion.

 

[twistedtree]

Nice close ups! I can't wait to see how those Apollo's grow up!

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

^^^Ditto^^^

Fab macro work Anima - beautiful youngins...

 

[StonedGrunt55]

APOLLO 11, i'v been hearing nice things on the Apollo 11 but i never seen it grow from start to finish, thats why i'm gonna keep an eye on it . Good job selecting dude!

 

[guest5703]

mmmm apollo 11 and orange bud!! woo hooo cant wait to see the finish! Grreat macros BTW super nice!

 

[ixnay007]

Good to see the project moving along

 

[Anima]

Thanks and welcome ixnay007, and caligreen!
Stoned- thanks man
MGJ, and tt- Much appreciated...just wait till I got some buds....
Oh and I just wanted to clear something up for Random99 too...that pic that you were admiring was not a cherry AK47, but one of my SDxAK's that took on the cherry sativa look from it's (cherry sativa) AK47 father....Kinda wish I got a clone off of that one..but I still have more seeds

Anywhoo...
about time for an update?
okie dokie.

My 3 babies are doing quite well (2 Apollo 11, and 1 cali orage bud):

the apollo11's are on the outside and the cali-o is in the middle, I know it looks like the 2 on the left are the same, but I'm pretty sure I have 1 shorter Apollo 11 and one lankier...go figure..

My BBH monster in veg has broken its bonds (again) and I gotta tie her up again..If normal plants are like normal people, this plant is like Sloth from the goonies...ROCKY.... ROAD?!?!



well thats it for the pics for now..

I'll get pics of my flowering chamber in awhile when they wake up..everything is going well in there...although the SDxAK that I brought in and tied down has split herself down the middle due to growing in such bondage...I was gong to try to wrap some string around it to hold it together a bit...but then it is still growing well, and I figure I'd probably do more harm than good...so I'm just going to leave it alone and hope for the best..

till next time...

 

[TML16]

this plant is like Sloth from the goonies...ROCKY.... ROAD?!?!

^ HEY YOU GUYYYYS!!!
Havn't seen that movie in forever...gonna hafta go back and watch that one again

Seedlings are looking great

You're doin some great work with the camera as well

 

[Black Ra1n]

Hey Anima, sorry it took me so long to check back in it's been crazy around here. Man those are some sweet ass macro's!!! Love the line up, can't wait to see these babies grow up.

B/R

 

[Anima]

yea that movie is great...one of the best deleted scenes, and commentary of any movie ever too(got the DVD)
Hey B/R!!
I know your busy bro, Thanks for stoppin in!

A little TLC and these babies are going to the moon, and I'm going too!!!
Maybe I shoulda called this thread: Anima and the moonstalk maybe next time eh?

And now... inside my cab right now:


I don't know if you can make out where the split is on the back left SDxAK..
My furthest along (SDxAK)xAK is truckin right along, looks and smells almost just like the Sour Diesel bx1.5's did at about the same time, and it kinda has that fuely smell, although it's probably just skunky as hell to the untrained nose..
the back right is a SDxAK that I can tell right now is going to be the best smoke in the cab right now...expect to see some cherry sativa phenotype from her...MAN, I'm already sad that It's clone didn't make it...and it really doesn't have anything else to clone from, not to mention it's already 2 or so weeks into flower...o well we just get to wait and see!
and the front right is another (SDxAK)xAK I expect it'll take after the other further along one..

Hey Thanks for stopping by my grow. It looks like your baby Cali-O sprouted about when mine did(last weekend). I germed 10 seeds and got 8 so far. I scewed up and put two seeds in one hole and I had to kill one. Irked me off bad doing that

I'll be watching to see how you do!!

[Core]

lmao ....goonies...sh*t man where is the time gone....thought that woz one hell off a movie....15 years ago... funny film one of my favourites back then ....

BTW nice update on ya girls...but i think you're underfeeding them a bit? it does look that way 2 me IMHO....hope you dont mind me pointing out

 

[Anima]

Oblidio49-heya man I saw your grow and you are doing the orange bud too, so I just had to say "hey". It will be intresting to see how things go over there as opposed to here...I will be fer shure man!

Core-YOU RULE MAN!! I REALLY welcome any advice....specially from someone with a gallery like yours!
I have been feeding the with the flora nova series Grow/Bloom (I went light on it because I was afraid of burning them) I have been measureing with a 10ml syringe to try to be ultra accurate....I have never really gone above the minimum (about 2ml/gal) for both grow and bloom.
To tell the truth this is the first grow I've done that i've been feeding during watering, and even checking pH...up until now I had been using much more guano in my soil mix (2 diffrent kinds actually) and just watering with RO water..
Really so far for me...this is the best yet...I've really been wondering how you gurus keep your bottom leaves green...
I probably just need to break down and buy a PPM meter (any suggestions?)
....dude....I dont mind...I WANT you to point MORE stuff out...PLEASE!
Thats the whole reason I'm here!
REMEMBER: Goonies never say die

 

[Core]

yea i kinda can give a little advise on how 2 keep bottom leaves green....i woz wondering that 2 in the begining ....use veg nutes up to 3th or 4th week in flower and then change nutes 2 flower..


and yea if you can invest in a EC or PPM meter you should ...i never burnd my girls ..only the tips a verry little but thats suppose 2 happen when you are dialed in...
i never give my girls over 2 EC (1000ppm's full feeding)..most of the time i dont even go over 900 PPM's coz that will burn my plants...(canna nutes)
i'm @ 5 weeks of flower and still giving 800 - 850 ppms' every other day

but i guess if you added supplements you have 2 be more carefull...im just a 1 bottled nutes guy ...and i work it 2 blow my own horn hehehe....


ohw for suggestions i would browse the groroom and equipment ...and read up on ppm/EC/ and TDS ...there so many....i would go for hanna though or any other with a 0.5 conversion....its easyer in use imo

 

[TML16]

Core's advice is always solid

So many good scenes from that movie...can't wait till I find time to watch it, I got it kickin around here somewhere I believe.

I had lots of troubles cloning and found that to save some plants a re-veg was in order. They work great and the plant comes back just as strong if not stronger the second time around. It also gives you another opportunity to make some cuts.
It's an easy way to save your SDxAK cherry sativa pheno

Lookin good buddy, keep up the good work :smile:

 

[Anima]

900-1000PPM?!?!?!?!
yup....that explains it....on the bottle here:
Grow:

Bloom:

so I should just use 1 at a time?
the last feeding they got was about 1ml grow and 1.5ml bloom (per gallon) added to distilled tap water....
"For best results: Use a PPM meter/ EC meter"...so yeah what PPM meter do you use?
Can I just use a electrical multimeter?...I have one of those..(I'm semi-poor at the moment) but if it'll keep my bottom leaves green, and (probably) increase yeild, I'm all about it..

TML-hmmm it's a tough call....I probably could re-veg it, but seeeing as I have more seeds left (more than 25{plus the fact that every single female from this cross has shown a significant cherry sativa phenotype}), and veg space is at a premium around here, I think I'll just let her go. (plus I want the smoke{sorry for writing my english like a math problem}).

 

[StonedGrunt55]

hey Anima u'r doin great bro, nice to see me,core & you have the same flowering stages,but u two r far more experienced than i am lol ,Anyway they coming along nicely both veg & flower.goodluck on the rest .
