I germinated 3Arjans ultra haze #2 1
purple lady and 2 Violator Kush, all feminized. The purple lady's taproot was abt a centimeter and a half long and half the seed shell fell off, i hope that wont hurt it? Both vicious kush seeds sprouted small taproots and one of the arjans did, but i just threw the other ungerminated seeds in the soil to let it do them the old natural way.

Anyways, let me start by my soil. Ive read a good few or post on here and i know miracle grow is bad, but those seeds needed to be planted. So i went to Lowes and bought Miracle Grow Seed Starting Mix, and some Perlite made by miracele grow. It was all i could find soil wise, no scotts for some reason :[

I mixed about 30-40 % perlite into small pots and planted the seeds a half inch down, and sprayed some water to get the top of it moist. I then put it in my window sill since by lamp wasnt assembled yet, and it was almost dusk outside so it didn't get much light until the next morning. I hope the moisture and the long night in the dark would not cause it to rot!

So today i went and got a timer and extension cord surge protector etc and hooked up my 600w mh/hps combo.

^ This was copied from my old post to give u background info. I know have 1 Arjans Sprout (pic #2) and two Violator Kush (pic 2 and 3). Im going 24/0 for now. I also threw 3 freebie non-feminized Mazari Shariff seeds that already had nice taproots in between my main 6 pots since im worried my purple lady and my 2 other Arjans Haze wont sprout. I heard give it a week so im gonna wait till about next monday to call it a failure and germ some more female seeds.

Do i need to get my plants out of this MG as soon as possibe? How will i transplant the plant without leaving it in atleast some miracle grow? :[

When should i transplant?

Thanks guys!

word mang, good luck with your lil shwaglings! I use desk lamps w/ cfl on seedlings they boom real quick. I thought of using MG soil, I'd prob flush it real good, don't care for what's in it just the medium.

Yeah, I am looking forward to see the Arjans Ultra Haze #2!

Looks good so far, I would not worry about transplanting for a while. And I also grow in a basement and my temps only get down to 65-68 at night (which I think is perfect). If it does get too cold you could always keep the light on at night and off during the day as long as you have TOTAL darkness in the day time (plant's night time).

Looks good so far and Subscribed!

+Rep for the good Genetics choice!

My purple lady did not sprout :[. Nor did my other 2 arjans :[. But i now have a pretty good lookin plant from the 1st VK sprout followed by her sister and the arjans is nice and tall with a purpppple fuckin stem. I have 2 Mazari sprouts that are in red solo cups, how long should i wait to put them in a bigger pot? Im going to be germinating 1 or maybe 2 :] more Arjans UH2 since everything didnt work out. Pics should be up in less than 2 days.

Thanks for the subcription guys im gonna need the help. Genetics was a two week ordeal pretty much, me and my buddy wanted the most serious high and low we could find. The indica was going to be blue moonshine, but once i saw that Violator Kush picture i had to have it. It said "branches MUST be staked for support", maybe bad for me since im a newb but thats what im fuckin talkin about. Arjans Ultra Haze #2 has everything you could want with a nut busting yield of like 800gr m2. I hope i atleast get 1 female out of those mazari seeds, its original name was lemon kush and i would love to get a clone.

Ive just been keepin on 24/0 pretty much, someone said its fine for veg but who knows. I dont want to stress the plants at ALL. Let me know if 24/0 is not cool, i dont want my Arjans goin dyke :[.

Thankyou for your help! Marijuana is the greatest plant on earth, it could possibly cure all types of cancers. (go to youtube and type in rick simpson story or just cancer cure marijuana). I am pretty young and have already had lymphoma, and im a pot head, so it goes hand in hand. HAPPY 420! Im smoking a blunt of some vacuum sealed :[ grandaddy purp when i wake up, the shit is my fav purp strain i have ever had, ive seen atleast 4 diff "purp" strains that were too leafy. But grandaddy takes the cake with his old white hairs and violet purple bud. ANyways im done rambling im fucked up. Good night!

At least you got some good sprouts out of the ones you germinated. Now read up on cloning to make sure you get it down properly, if you have a bad ass female then cloning is a great thing!

I don't think you need the 24/0 light cycle. Some people like it but I use an 18/6 myself and I get great growth. Also it gives the lights time to cool down, cuts down on power, and extends the life of your bulb. The pro's of the 18/6 outweigh the pro's of 24/0 in my opinion.

As far as transplanting, I keep mine in 1 gallon containers for about a month and then switch over to 5 gallon buckets. 5 gallon is overkill but I like how they fit in my grow room and they are easy to move.

Looks good so far, hope to see some new pics soon! Happy 420:bigjoint:

I cut the cups so the leaves could stretch out they were bending at a 90 degree angle lol.

Also you can't really tell from the pic but the arjans leaves are kind of weltering up? Its kind of shriviled up like a hotdog bun, its not that bad.

I added another germinated Ultra haze #2 seed to the mix. 2 of each, i hope i get atleast one mazari female.

The arjans stems are sooo purple and already crystalled down i swear i want to smoke it.

bump for the weekend. Im going back to 18/6, i just shut it off for 6 hours after being on for 48 or so then just cut it on before writing this. Do i need to let them sit in darkness before i do that

Also, since the first 5 plants are about 2 to 2 half weeks old should i start addin nutes?
