Pics> hydrofarm duel outlet timer and huge agrosun mh bulb( so much brighter that the super hps)

4 maxi pots filled with magic dirt FFOF/LT WARRIOR
Day 2
100% germination from 13 seeds that were pulled off a plant last week
plant was a Female that was pollinated by a Herm, only one bud site actually got pollinated and the rest of the plant was FEMALE

1 gallon sprayed over the tops of the seeds that were planted about and 1/8 of an inch under the soil

tap water, with arsenic and all

2.5 ml humic acid
2.5ml bio marine
2.5 ml bioroot
2.5 ml biothrive
1.0ml bio weed
2.5ml calmag+


p.s. my local water has everything from arsenic to "high metal counts" i can't beleive they lable it "safe for human consumption so i have been wondering if it is a good idea to bubble my water and let circulate a few hours before i give it to my plants?

johnyutah,

Cool closet setup! So fresh and so clean.

What's the plan for the seeds? Are they regular or feminized? Will you be going directly into the big pots or do you plan to weed out the males first? It looks like a shared-bed 2 to 4 plants-per-pot sea-of-green is in the works here.

Happy Growing.



EDIT; I apologize johnyutah. I just remembered the rule of the "Grow Journals" forum; you did not ask for posts in your journal and I will more than happily take this down if you wish.

SEEDS> Sensi seeds- G13xHP Mr. Nice

SEEDS> My friend had acquired G13xHP Mr. Nice, directly from Sensi Seeds. He then did an outdoor grow which was not divided; males and females were left to fuck. and this guy had the best seedy pot in the world I would swear by it....... He then did a breeder program for 5 generations, now FYI this was back in the 90's, its been a while, but towards the end of his run he started producing indoor all female crops that were super awesome.....( skip a few years like 10) and about 2 years ago I decided that dispensaries are for the birds and that buying anything from people who put rims on their old P.O.S. just wasn't my style, sorry to offend anyone with rims, if that’s your thing go for it....... So i ask my friend who was a retired green thumb to hook me up with some seeds to get started. He gave me his last 10 seeds. He said they were from his last grow and they was 5th generation sensi seeds g13xhp.. so i did my first grow in a make shift tent and with an aero garden. 3 seeds all female, at first... they grew in the aero garden until they were too big. i got 2 5 gallon buckets and some bubble stones and did a dwc run for my first grow... cake walk... i had 2 monsters in 5 gallon single bucket dwc and left on in the AG. all under a 400w hps. however one of the plants hermed out a little from stress, prob heat/nute/pruning, anyway i took those seeds and did another grow and got a few all female plants. in the mean time i also grew the most epic plant ever which was a male. this male was a beast and it was put outside in the middle of the summer, so it got massive. i then took the male and dabbed the male to the females i had and made more seeds, my own breeding program! ok and then, i grew my last crop and somehow out of 13 seeds i had 1 male 2 fail and 1 that wasn't keeping up so i cut it down to end up with 9.... they are pictured somewhere on RIU if u want them i can prob post in this journal but anyway, 8 of those plants were female, and one hermed out at the very end. i mean the bananas snuck up on me in the last 2 weeks and only on one plant. i did notice some deformity in the preflowers though. soooo that herm pollinated the plant beside it, which just happened to be the best looking female in my tent. and the rest of the buds were all female... i actually only got about 25 seeds from the bud and it was neat, you could see the side that was pollinated and the side that wasn’t.... all hairy one side and all seedy other....

and that brings me tooooo now.....

i took 13 of those seeds, big fat brown ones, and dropped them in a cup of water 3 days ago so hopefully they will be all female plants, but only time will tell....

From what I've been learning, you may have an easier time (especially reaching the ones in the back) if you were to keep only one plant and train/supercrop/and/or scrog/lst whatever the term is to it. One plant w/ enough training I'm sure you've seen can grow into quite a bush.

Careful w/ your nutes, even as a seed your adding almost 14 ML of things, I know diff nutes are focused at diff concentration levels but just to give you a comparison I didn't even begin giving more then a few drops of each nute until the plants were like a foot tall. If you give them too much at such young stages it only hinders growth; the plants have most of what they already need.

Plants have shown face and the first 2 real leaves are out, i love to watch them muscle off the shell and open up to the world!

Still keeping soil moist
2 seeds did not pop up but there are plants in all the pots
Shop vac has introduced a 5 gallon bucket attachment that is a shop vac and it is the most perfect thing in the world for clean up of over run off.
