Outdoor seed run for season 2011

[JGP]

Looking good m8 although a bit strechy.

 

[mosstrooper]

What light do you start them under?

 

[rocket high]

they are on 24hrs 9600k t4 CFL's ... ,

Hi guys

They are a bit stretched ,i would like to put them under the hps with the cheeses but they arent in big enough pots yet and they would be on 12/12.

not to worry about the stretch.. ive had loads of seeds stretch and its not effected them much ... im going to have to buy a decent light for the veg cab tho....thats first on the agenda when i have the funds....

 

[mosstrooper]

I dont actually know what a 9600k t4 CFL is, i know its a compact Florescent, is it something specific for plant growth?

Early gold X Mighty mite X Guerilla Gold

These do not like restraints in pot size , as soon as you can pot them up , under no circumstances let the roots build up or they runt .

 

[JGP]

Have you grown these before MJB bud?any ideas on finishing dates?

 

[MJBadger]

Not the fastest auto , seeded ones took best part of 16wk , august was the wettest on record so they were put into a cold g-house to finish off as they started to get bud-rot .
Sensi fem i reckon will be 12-13wk .

 

[mosstrooper]

Well, finally got some cash money, so ive ordered some HFH, sadly all the Purple Nepal is gone.

So ive ordered Hashplant2 Scottish and some of the Mors Iran.

I really hope seedbay lists some more Purple Nepal.

 

[rocket high]

Thats good mossy i liked the look of the purple Nepal and Danish Passion as well but i havent enough money to buy them all ... if i could , i would ...lol

We've got good stock ... hurry up MAY !!!

 

[mosstrooper]

Typical, lterally within an hour of buying my HFH, seedbay listed loads of new HFH stock.

 

[rocket high]

Aint that always the way mossy.. it seems to happen to me as well lol.

These plants grow like mushrooms ... im getting my soil over the weekend so i'll be able to pot them up as soon as i get it.
One of the scottish never made it ... the seed shell wouldnt come off and i thought i'll just leave it to do it it's self, went in today and it's died trying to get out of it's shell ...Damn

Anyway heres some pics

 

[smokinweedgi]

think i got the last purple nepal sorry trooper ,couldnt resist also added the hashplant,brown and white super07 lets hope these danish strains can handle the scottish rainfall

good luck with yer seed run rocket

 

[mosstrooper]

Lookin really good rocket, that light they are under, is it one of those quite large 200w cfl's?

Damn you smokinweedgi, too damn quick.

 

[rocket high]

Hi mossy .... nope its not a 250wEnvirolight .... its strip lights from Eterna lighting company .. you can buy them in Argos for £20 and they link together-daisy chain style . you can link up to 6 of them together.

hope you get good freebies with your order

 

[mosstrooper]

These lights sound quite versatile, i have to muck about atm bringing my cuttings from under the roof light into the grow space to get them their 18hours of light, its a bit of a faff but it works.

I need to make a veg box.

Might try growing them out in large tubs seeing there semi autos, maybe 40-50 litres tubs.Hopefully they'll trigger early when they become pot bound.

 

[mosstrooper]

With regard to mold and mold resistance, i thought this would be of interest.

and this

Also, if anyone really is interested in molds etc, the Lidl are selling USB microscopes atm for 49.99. They are made by Bresser and come with a 5 year garuntee. Magnification 20x - 1280x.

They are an absolute bargain.

Hi mossy

I toyed with idea of using milk last year ..but it was too late in the season to start spraying them .. i will think about it this year tho, i will do it early as a preventative .
I cant afford the Syngenta Amistar... so milk it is .

Go on the LIDL ...lol

 

[mosstrooper]

Seedbay just added a fresh lot of HFH this morning, so i have manged to secure my Purple Nepal.

 

[rocket high]

Well done Mossy

We will get to see these Purple Nepal in full effect come the new season
I have the the Royal Dane x Old Farmer Nepal .. and they are the biggest out the bunch and have the most root mass these are going to be monsters .... the Erd/purt are the most uniform , these two seem to be the best performers so far,

i potted up 10 plants yesterday but ive ran out of compost they have used 54 litres for 10 so i have to go to B&Q and get even more ,it'll probably take 67 litres to finish the rest off.

so the rest will have to wait till the weekend till i can get a lift with it .

pics coming later tonight .
