Poppin the Ancient Afghan

I think its time to pop the "Ancient Afghans". I have spent the last year collecting many clone only elite mothers. And also, select mothers from packs of seeds. I need some pure Affie parents for some of my future breeding projects, that I keep planing, but havn't got to yet. My only other male I have saved is a "Grape Vine Seeds, SBBx4 Ix1 mother A male...I kept it cuz its a pure indica dom. strain...veg'd twice as fast as any Sour Bubble I have ever tried...Bog or Grapevine. Veg has always been a prob. w/this strain. The male seems to excel in this department. Out of this seed pack, I hope to find a strong Afghani male, and would love a great Afghni Mom. I will keep this thread posted w/pics. the whole way through. As soon as the seeds show root tips, I will transplant to coco beer cups, from there I will veg til I can take clones from ea. seedling. I will root clones under 12/12 once I find my females, I will flower out the origianal seed plant females under 1k HPS in smart pots w/coco.

I am stoked too. My pops used to have a purple affie line he inbreed for many years outdoors. Doesnt sound like this one will color up but she shure sounds like good parent stock. I will keep one male and the best female or two. Not messing with the jiffy pellets this time i wonder everyday what the out come of my last grape sorbet seed run would have been if i hadnt killed 3 in jiffy pellets before flower. Straight to the coco after crack this time.

All right we have 12 out of 14 germed and in beer cups. many are already above ground an a few have already shed their seed husk. Still holding out on the last two that have yet to pop 14 /14 would be great.

Man after that last prophet run we did I got nothing but props for grindhouse. The prophets all had super stellar resin production yield and a mild taste with 2 major phenos. Steele is A number fing 1. These seeds are fertile. Out of all the seeds grind house has dropped these are the most mysterious. Nobody is growing them. I dont know what to expect but i already have A1 stock so i am not expecting the holy grail. What I am expecting is a mom and dad that i can ibl and out cross with good results. I think we will find a few keepers. sour bub x ancient equals kush type pure indica. A. affy x beach street = who the fuck knows but i will smoke it for sure.

OK...So I have managed to get 11 out of 14 into the early stages of veg. One that didnt germ and two that never broke soil. I have been giving them straight RO water. To me it looks like there missing something...thinking of giving them a little dose of liquid karma.

they are ready for nutes not just liquid karma
at this point they may need some cal/mag too since they are already starting to show nitrogen def. alot of times early plants in coco need extra cal/mag.
either way they need nutes now.

I agree with you, that they need some cal/mag also. New coco and RO water, I think that they are starving a little. I'm usually apprehensive to feed young seedlings nutrients b4 they need it. Will begin w/some cal/mag and lk, if that doesnt the trick, after a few waterings, I will start with a small amounts of grow nutes. Trying over the next few weeks to keep my PPM's at 200/300 or below.
