Kind of a dull post but just wanted to put up that Archive seeds so far is 5 for 5 on germ. rate. I know whenever I'm about to try a new strain that is one of the things I do a search for....... just thought I'd share. They are a little goofy though, first time I had one grow upside down. Had to dig it up and re situate it and 3 I had to take the shell off. No biggie though they're all doing good. Nothing finicky at all like the BC blueberry I did, I just planted these to shallow.

Yep the hell raiser ogs. Hope to get at least one female out these. Hope your other ones are female as well.

thanks bro, I hope so too. the Ultraviolets are looking good even while going thru bugs. I am about to take cuts. 12 out of 13 made it. the racefuels and hazmats I got are not as good looking, but still going. I can't wait to flower out the ultras. I might do a couple outdoors for a Hawaii short season during the first part of long season. indicas will flower out here in middle of summer. alright bro, aloha

Here they are 6 days later. These are very vigorous growers or atleast seems like it after this last grow of lollypops [space queen] from leprechaun seeds. Very trippy smoke but boy they vegged slow. I've scoured the net looking for grows or smoke reports on these hell raiser ogs from Archive but cant find a dang thing! If anyone can point me in the direction of one I'd appreciate it. Also since I cant find anything on these, I reckon I'll do a grow journal and be the first. Probably start it up tomorrow, just a heads up if anyone wants to follow along. Without further ado, ta da ..... Nothing exciting yet that's for sure.lol

Not sure man. I was just going to link you to herbies seeds because like just 2 days ago they had 10 Archive strains in stock. I just double checked and they're gone already, holy shit.lol. Only place with any left is seedsman and hemp depot. Not much selection but they still have some. Hemp depot don't take cards which I think deters a lot of people so they will probably have um for a minute.

First, apologies on the journal not coming through. I'll just update here periodically as it will be kind of the same but less time consuming. Plus a lot of folks, myself included, just like looking at pics. anyway. Here's the [hopefully] ladies coming along. If my math is right, at 22 days in veg.. Really have a lot of questions for this strain but being so fresh out I cant find much. Learning as I go. What I've found so far is they are really finicky to nutes, temp.s, over-under watering, and humidity. To much or little on any of those and they droop their leaves like their pouting, or a scoulded pooch. lol. Some real divas here that's for sure. Their going to be some tall lanky bitches too. I'd like to top but from searching on ogs is that topping puts um in shock for a little awhile and I don't want to dick around on time to much. Don't have time to wait on um to come out of shock, if it's even true. IDK first og I've done. Any advice folks on any og is much appreciated. Just put um in their 5 gallon buckets the other day. Beautiful root system! For being so finicky they are stupendously vigorous growers! I'm quite happy with Archive so far.

Thank you, I'll try to keep um tip-top and in shape. Have you grown an OG strain before? In your opinion should I top, lst, or just all natural?

have grown a few og's and tend to top mine to 4 or 6 and this run nstead of just using bamboo on my og cut put a big tomato cage on her and strapped her down around the top ring.

og's tend to be vinelike n growth so you will want support.

Thanks for the input man. I'm going to top um now then and I already have some bamboo stakes ready to go. Does the growth slow down any slower than any other strain that gets topped or is it just like pretty much any other strain? I've been wanting to do an OG for awhile now, I guess that's why I'm treating um so delicately as I don't want to mess um up. I've done a lot of strains but man feels like my first time growing kind of, you know that excited feeling? lol Anyway thanks for the advice.

Nice looking plants mane. Looking vigorous, can't wait to pop mine. Just recently got done with a couple of wifis from raskal and they were straight fire dude. Had two phenos, one OG Dom, one white Dom. The fire og pheno is ridiculously potent. I now see why og has made it's name out west. Pure fire!

Here they are at 33 days veg.. Very healthy growers, almost like they're in hydro. Only topped 2 of um the other 3 all natural. Also went ahead and took a clone from each today and instead of bamboo stakes, I caged um. They're ready for the flower room and I'm just waiting for it to open up. Seeing some pre-flowers but cant tell what they are yet. Only thing else to add I guess is man do they stink. Not as strong or the same odor as the RKS which is skunky beer/rotten onions, but that of like skunk/chemical type smell, almost like a sting to it...??? Hard to explain and cant wait to flower these that's for sure!

your plants look really healthy bro, killer job!

mine not as good but I been dealing with these fucking mites lol.the original Purple Indica is not a super fast grower by any means so that also helped keep them smaller. gonna take clones off all 12 of them and a couple of the Hazmats and Racefuels. those are in the middle tray. right side tray has mostly BubbaxAW32 clones along with a local white widow. alright bro, aloha, looking forward to see you finish.
