looking real healthy, you use promix right? i might have to cop me a bag of that for my compost
ya thats all that i use or in cali. sushine #2 and with nothing else in it either. all food nutes etc they get i give them when needed . seen alot of growers put too much manure and get a couple days rain and kill everything due to a nitrigen tea overload real hard to get something back out once in ,it has always worked for me .

from the looks they really like it. and yeah, cant go overboard on the manures. i compost them with earth worms for a few months before using it in my soil, add eggshells, banana peels, leaves, anything that can break down. i rarely even use nutes in my teas anymore, just add some roots from some fast growin weeds in my yard, add some mycorrhyzae pellets, some zho from bontaicare and a little bit of blackstrap molasses for microbe food, i may start using composted oatmeal though.

thats a pretty sweet strain, got the semi-auto gene in there as well i can see. wish all the iranian strains on the market werent feminized, theyd have a huge advantage for these long ass summers.

Nice plants! How many babies do you have started? It's good to see someone else with a nice early start too the season. It seems like a lot of people are lagging! What are your favorite fast finishing strains for outdoors? Mold isn't a big problem in my area, but pest resistant is nice. My Green Crack, C99, and Orange Crush have been my fastest finishes so far, but I end up growing a lot of long flowering sativas. I'm looking for some nice hybrids and indicas these days.

oh i start alot and start another batch every month for 3 months , i like seawarps and crosses from it , and a bunch of strains that i have been working with for years that have alot of early strains in them the season is too short here for sativa dominate strains

Just getting started posting here at RIU, but spend a lot of time in the outdoor section at GC around Porkville. Glad I found your thread. Love a Brother w/a plan. You got some style and some smarts Getaway. I bought a bunch of auto seeds this year so I can get some started in my breeding program.

The autos need to spend a few weeks indoors vegging about 20 hours per day before going outside in early June. So I'm doing some work on my little seed starter shop light set up. You mentioned the import of dialing in the right light spectrum. I need some new tubes. There aren't any hydro or lighting shops near me. I buy most of my supplies from Lowes or Home Depot. What kind of tubes are you running in those shop lights for starting your kikkis?

Hey getaway hows it going, glad to see things are moving along nicely with your babies! what sort of fert do you give to your clones? I have heard just a little bit of superthrive after they are cloned until they grow roots and use up the available food in their own leaves, and then a diluted dose ( maybe only 1/4 dose ) of ferts in their water. what do you think about this? and how often are you watering them? how often are u feeding them, when the leaves show signs of nut deficiencies? it can be hard bc the clone leaves yellow up as the plant consumes food out of them. just curious, looking great!

haha sweet, this oughta be a interesting season. really looking forward to that blue sea, never got to grow out any widow genetics yet but i dont hear about it nearly as much as i used to. i've always liked the looks of white strains and white hybrids though, they always come out really frosty.

well daf i grow from seed not clones , momma clones a few to pay the power bill thats all with clones. and the only fert i give them is seaweed extract that we make ourselves.for the first 3 weeks then i feed them oh ya and we put some seaweed exract in the cloner and the roots are visable in usualy 4-5 days.with seaweed in the cloner i have never had yellow leaves.hope this answers ya question.
