upto's SourJEMZ..

now ain't that what you want to see from your f1's..:clap:

hydrolenny..I am Green..I wanna smoke that white one..
has she got a solid..or hollow main-stem...?

I am not sure what the photoperiod guys are talking about. For a plant this size, and the time it took, I can not complain about the yield!
Click to expand...
Amen..:leaf:

FullD..I never place my seed..they just go in as they drop..
so I do occasionally see an upside down one.
Not sure what causes it..
just assumed I moved them with the watering..
and I have never pinned the trait to one particular cross..

IF I see one showing through..I never turn it..
because once the root feels the light on it..it knows it is growing in the wrong direction and will turn itself.
I turned one once when it had already decided..and it come back out the soil again..
so it looked like the loch ness monster..
two humped little beastie.
It died...:-P

BTW..too soon to guage yet..But..
I Think that the vinegar water Might be working..

I think I am seeing a return to vigor..
Fingers Crosed eh.....!

Hey people, sorry to hijack the good stuff going around here.
It's been a while since i've started checking the RIU forum, found this thread a couple weeks ago and it has been the best damn thing reading all the great stuff and learning everything i can about AFs. Lots of excellent info around.
Currently i'm planning my very first (super stealth) grow, but i still having some doubts, so can u give some advice on how often should i give nuts to the plants veg and flower period???
Other question, anyone has tried the Germination Kit of Nirvana Seeds?? I was thinking on starting the seed there and then transfer it to pots with some soil stuff around here, like Bighill soil recipe or SS (if i figure how to make it in small proportions).

Cheers m8s and sorry for noob questions and bad english, it's been a while xD

Just go to the hydro store and buy some rockwool cubes for 25 cents a piece instead of wasting your money on nirvanas starter kit.

I just soak mine in a glass of water until they sink when tapped by my finger. Then I plant them in their final container with my soil mix right away. I get about a 95% germ ratio, I RARELY get one that won't pop it's head up.

You absolutely DO NOT want to stress an AF plants roots at all, so I try to eliminate any opportunity to do so. 8-)

In a nutshell..
she is one of the results of an experiment to be able to pull a perfect Deep Chunk off in AF.

DC Lookee-likey..with the same look/taste and effect as the original long season DC..

Because if we can't..

then all the Long season girls med effects data..
will have to be re-classified for AF's. :leaf:

La Belle Noche is the Non-AF side of the cross..
Apart from the Colour..very Deep Chunk dominant.



There are 3 non-af girls in the pot..
LBN is the darkest..
the other girls part colour.
You can see them going here..
but..
they don't have the same depth..overall colour...
more to the red spectum on the leaf..



Babylon is the AF version..although they are not actually the same colour make up.
LBN is red dom..babylon is purple dom.
IMO..Babylon is more a cross than a strong DC dom.
Time will tell.



This is Bobby's Girl..AF..Another one I want to take out the AF line..
again IMO..another pheno in the same line I want to capture.
Again..different colour dominance..more charcoal black..with distinct white tric crust edges.
(I have seen this pheno out in Non-AF by a Friend..
so it has to be available in pheno selection..ha ha.)



and Finally..it took 140 germs...
I got the DC Lookee-likeys..in AF..



All works in progress..that is why there is no info on them

Amen..
as FullD says..the Less you mess with them..the less you stress them..


I was curious how long it takes for an autos trichomes to go amber once they go cloudy?

Is it the same time frame as a non-auto?
Click to expand...
Love the tric photo..we are gonna have an AF tric directory here soon.

Some girls only go milky..
But..
I found on the DC dominants..
I had to wait to about 9-10 weeks to get the amber...from germ.
worth waiting a bit longer as yours is just over the 8..
Happy Hunting...:leaf:

Anon..you better make that smoke a big un m8..there are loads of posts to catch up on...bongsmilie
