hello packn
hey bro first shot of life is always a happy moment in my book.......
it begins

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

... 3 - 2 - 1 - BLASTOFF!

Man, you are back in a big way! Nice selection for this grow.... I'd introduce myself but I'm suffering from Amnesiax99

Looking real fine packn - pulling up a seat....

 

[ickster]

Thanks for the light tip. I had my 30w cfls on my clones, and they don't like it.
I will back off on the light. Thanx

A Harsh World

A Harsh World

Growdate: Day 7...Cotyledons

jaws... they're nice little babies...but they aren't gonna be suckin on my teet any time soon..

MGJ...I thought you would like that..good God man get those panties off you head

ickster... Yeah sometimes folks think more light will help them root faster..not the case..it just takes time..especially water clones..

I was out yesterday but all of them were up, took their helmets off and open except that late germer..she lost the helmut this morning..
I put them under the 400W HPS Hortilux (PL Lighting)..My 175W MH is what I like to use at this time, but have start problems with that light..
I believe MJ is a tough "I will survive" plant...So although this amount of light at this stage might be too much..they'll adapt..
I found it keeps um from getting too lanky..and already they are in a breeze..I believe this to help strengthen the stem..
Seems once you support the plant or branch..it will need support the rest of the grow..only sometimes with big buds..will I use support..
People do different things..this is just what I do..
Here's a quick shot of the newborns..AD's are in the back..Newest CW in very front..

hello packn
ahh no dout a light wind will help strengthen the stems greatly....looking good so far nice number there, just gotta wait for the veg stage to kick in gear .........
peace

 

[packn2puff]

It did help...look at the stalk today..



OK that was Tic's old outdoor BD pic...

I'll do an update later..but as I was going to throw out the bean that didn't germ...
I found it did...10 for 10..100% germ..I sowed it..but I don't know if it will be used in the long run...

Growdate: End of Day 10...1st True Leaves

Temps were getting out of hand upstairs..had to move them to the basement..temps are perfect now..

They are under a PL Lighting 400W Enhanced HPS Eye Hortilux..The 175W MH is still having problems..think I just need a new bulb..
Surrounded with Lightning 97 reflect medium..




Nutes: PB org Grow & EJ Grow main ferts..Cal-Mag, EJ Microblast..and this and that..I like fulvic acids like GH Diamond Nectar..but I'm out..
This is some but not all of my junk..




The babies...


The AD's make a diamond in the front..The CW's are all taller than the AD's

hello packn
hey bro it looks like we use simelar ferts, hows the CHI does it work and is it worth using......i see your AD getting that purple look to the stem, both of mine are doing that looks great so far........my old time moonshines are really looking odd, really dark purple almost blood redish color stems.....and one has three seed leaves and now it has three serated leaves as well.....even the vains that run through the leaves are blood read/very dark purple really wierd.....
looking good

The Grow For Now

The Grow For Now

Growdoc...Right back atcha..I was hopin you would be stoppin by soon..The AD's are finally going...4/4 100% to seedling..
Me and the camera like big buds...now lets hope for girls..

jaws...I might use CHI once or twice..I'm not totally sold if it's holding up to the claims..haven't done a comparison..
Yeah those damn Moonshine are always winning or place well in the POTM..they can get real purple..

I shot a few pics of the grow for now..they're in a tent of light...if you think of photons as super balls the shape of a triangle is really efficient...
Lightning 97 is fairly stiff and holds it's shape good..I'm just havin fun here..it's a little overkill at this stage...
but they all are growing straight up now too..the fan blows a breezeway though there..temps are OK at the surface..

Here's a quick shot of the late germing Cindy Williams..

[Mr GreenJeans]

Hiya packn

Hey, if you goose up the magnification a touch I think we can read the label on her shorts!

Super macros!

 

[ickster]

Yea, feels like I'm standin' right next to it. Good Job!

 

[packn2puff]

Had to do something..this is the boring part of the grow.. They're movin real slow right now

 

[packn2puff]

Same Mo

Same Mo

Growdate: Day 13..Seedling stage

Like I was sayin they're movin slow..this is like the pre-load before the explosion...hopefully the roots are doing their thing...
I started giving them a weak balanced supply of nutes..PB & EJ Grow, Microblast, Cal-Mag, epsom salts..
Like 1/8 [email protected] little peat pots dry very fast...so I'll alternate with just water...
By the pics they already seem Mg def..Cal-Mag is 2-0-0 NPK..and the seed soil is 0-0.01-0..PB is 2-1-2 & EJ is 2-1-1 so I'm already a little N heavy..
I add epsom salts to bring up the Mg and S without the N and using a wee bit of GH Floralicious grow..to help it all out..
I hate these cups..transplant soon..

So here's the latest...same two plants as above..

cindy williams went to my school

 

[GMT]

Really good news that you are settled enough to be growing again Pack, can't wait till it's buds you're doing those close ups on.

 

[packn2puff]

hazyfontazy.. Right on..now I hope she does good in my school..

GMT..Hopefully I'm here to stay...I haven't quite set up a grow room..but this is probably where they will be for most of the grow...
Me too on the big bud thing...I don't think pix of seedlings are gonna win too many POTM's..

Well that helmet head in this pic didn't make it..the shell, as you can see in the pic, was stuck..I carefully removed it..but it was already too late..
I have a runt AD that isn't growing either..I think it's alive but hasn't grown since the first true leaves popped out half way...
maybe a pic tomorrow..
All for now..

R.I.P.

 

[gift of gab]

*pours 40oz on the curb*

Sorry to hear about the loss, I hate it when they want to be helmet heads.

 

[packn2puff]

Alright not a full update yet I'm in the middle of a transplanting..I picked a good time too...
cause the roots are at the peats walls already..and tap is on the bottom
I don't like to use peats as a grow through medium..what I do like about them is you can easily peel them right off..

I usually get them out of there right after the first true leaves..before the roots get too far and anchor to the peat wall..
I had let them get critically dry not once but twice...
They are drying out @10 hrs..I might as well be doing hand feed hydro..I put a little extra perlite and verm..but geez
The runt AD got hit the worse..a few days ago I went to check um and she was face down and bone dry..
I propped up a toothpick to keep her up..and watered..she been up for days on her own but she is not growing..root damage may have occurred..

More and pics after the transplant..1.5qt (1.6L) 6.3"D x 5.6"H (16cmD x 14.2cmH)
Sand pots is what they are going into and will stay for a good while..I'll be back
