So a little about me. This will make my 5th grow. Been happy with my turnouts at the end of each season. I’m the only smoker in the house. Wife might it it once in a while but not much.
Anyway. I germinated seeds back on 11- 6 and 2 days both cracked open. Both started out growing but the the NL seed just stopped and never started coming out of its shell. On the 10th I pitched it and started a new one. 10hrs later it was open and starting its life. On the 11th they went into cups and used a different Coco coir that I had. On 11-13 they sprouted. Started doing ok but as they got bigger started noticing problems. By the 28th I made the choice and put them into their pots. Glad I did. Mistake I made. No kind of nutes in the Coco coir or a lack of them. Within days they picked up and now on their way.
Will post more as they get bigger. Plan on going to scrog both. This will make my first time doing both a Coco coir in a hybrid system.
Well thanks for taking the time to read this. This will my first grow for here. Hoping to post many more here.
Welcome to GN and great to see your journal from the start. You have lovely strains and a wicked setup. Looking forward to seeing some fine ladies blooming in the near future. Happy growing.
Sweet lil setup. Never pitch seeds away especially from ilgm. They will send u out good seeds if they dont do good from the start. Lol. Besides ive seen someone throws duds in a pot with dirt and sometimes gets a random bean will pop up.
I have 4 so far that did not germ once i poo the other 3 i have and see what happens with them ill send the bad ones back and they send out new ones to replace them. They r super about covering seeds that dont germ.
Bought these seeds over year and a half ago. Not sure if their policy would have covered them still. When Mi legalized it i went wild buying seeds from them. Keep them stored in my fridge with rice in a dark container. Have many different strains. First grow i did was with Bruce Banner. Love that strain.
If u still have the info for the beans they will cover it. It took that long to be able to get to them all is all u jave to say. They will cover it for u for sure.
Well they certainly look healthy…first time I’ve seen those Octopots. I have seen similar systems, but I never had any luck with those (been around forever) all in one bottom feed/water pots for indoor house plants so never considered them for growing smoke. What size are they (gallons) ?
In yours @poseidon. Do you have the reservoir that comes with them? I noticed something on top of the water. Can’t say slime. Maybe a alge from the warm tent. I keep the lid on so no light gets to the water. Noticed it this morning.
