It's a risk I'm willing to take - so far I'm 1 for 1 with TGA. Feminized seeds are great, but I totally respect companies who don't go that route. Once you understand the overall effect feminized seed production is having on the cannabis seed industry, you understand why there are many companies that are sticking to regs. I believe there's a good write-up on this at Mandala's site... :leaf:

i definately agree that alot of the better breeders stick to regular seeds and i always bought regular seeds for my outdoor grows when i was younger but now that im in the waterfarm it seems fem seeds are the way to go. of course im thinking clones are the way of the future for me and my mothers will all be from regular seeds. im very keen to try some tga though. and i am definitely going to be hitting up some mr nice in the future aswell. the g13xwidow sounds very nice and i would be willing to bet there is some phenos hidden in those seeds that would make great mothers.

anyway i will go have a read of that site sounds interesting thanks dayzt

oh man dayzt sould i hug u or hate u for introducing me to yet another breeder to add to my list. i really like there policies on breeding and found so much helpfull info in there grow guide and there faqs. im particularly interested in the fact that they breed there plants to be very hardy under heat stress. coming into summer here in aus its going to be a major issue and by the looks of it they are producing some fairly hefty buds in plus 40c heat.

i think everyone should have a cruise through there grow guides it deals with alot on keeping your fertilizers low and some other info on pruning etc that really cleared a few things up for me. they have kept it simple and to the point i love it

Absolutely Beautiful photography of beautiful plants. Heard you were starting Vortex next and that is still my favorite tga strain, i'm sure you'll love it and it does great in scrog. sub'd

Yeah I looked and couldn't find it either, then I realized I'd read it in Mandala's interview in Skunk mag. Here's a link to an online PDF of the article:

Go to page 4 of that interview, there's the info that I was referring to.

I couldn't agree more - I learned alot about seed germination on thier site as well...among many other awesome grow techniques and information. Check out the interview they did in Skunk magazine in the link I posted above... very good read.

Hey! Yeah, I can't wait to start that Vortex. I'm still not sure which other strain to do together with that one, but it could be the White Russian that's been calling my name...lol. :weed:

I'd suggest you try a pineapple express if you never have. It's the holy grail of waterfarm scrog lol scotty himself grew it for a reason.

I can't see us using the waterfarms to grow out clones anytime soon, as they'll always be occupied by my main projects - I could do maybe 3 more plants under my 400w, but I don't have any other hydro setups to use (so I'd have to use soil), and I wouldn't want to grow them out fully in the Aerogarden as it will be sitting out in the middle of our family room...lol.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't see growing anything out fully in the Aerogarden, but you could root a clone in there and then transplant it to the waterfarm or any other medium you want.

Lol..yep, Kriznarf is enjoying a great harvest of that in his waterfarm at this very moment! :leaf: Who knows, that sounds like a great idea but we'll see - so many great strains to choose from!!

another good read dayzt thanks
No prob - although I agree with Mandala, it really is logical to only use fem'd seeds in this size of a grow, but I just couldn't resist Sub's strains and proven results... :weed:

yeah im hearing you. i think though being as like you im lucky enough to be running 2 wf's i might be able to risk running a regular seed in one and have a fem in the other. it helps that i have two seperate rooms aswell though as if one starts throwing bananas its not going to be a huge set back i can just start over with a new seed and it wont effect when i flip the lights on the other one

Agreed - you could always force-flower s few cuttings in the other tent while your main reg's are in veg. But I think that's a good idea too - having one of each you know that you'll have at least one 'guaranteed' female (unless it hemies) - and keeping a make for breeding purposes is always in option then too.

I took a few more snaps of the Ace this evening - used my old camera and shaded the light with cardboard... didn't turn out too bad actually, but it's hard to get bad pics of this girl! :weed:

Very nice, man! Stoked to see Ace of Spades growing out. I, too, have just gotten into TGA. I have 2 phenos of plushberry going right now, and a Dairy Queen and Chernobyl waiting to be sexed. Happy Thanksgiving to you! Thanks for the very nice pics, and the peek at the ladies!

that aos is gonna get frosty :) hey dayzt im looking at that bush of a vk u have there and i was just wondering do you think if u had more time it would have been possible to spread that vk across the scrog more evenly or is it too difficult to spread one plant across a screen that size?

I'm sure I could have spread her out for another week or so than I did, and it's looking more and more obvious now that it's reaching the end of it's initial stretch. I'm happy with how the canopy is developing however, even though it could be much more even. The buds are very strong at the outside edges of the canopy which is so great to see. I went back and compared how they look right now compared to how my VK looked the first time I grew it at the middle of week 3 of flowering, and it's looking a bit bulkier this time in hydro. She appears fairly happy at ~500 ppms still, and the micro I added to the rez yesterday looks to be helping a lot as well, giving it some extra N.

yeah she looks great and your going to get a great yeild for sure i just ask because im dropping my screen down tomorrow i think and i have seen alot of these scrogs lately where the plant is very bulgy in the middle and i was wondering if this is avoidable or if its just the way it is because its where all the growth has started so there will always be excess growth in the middle. i have my own plans to combat this problem but until i test my theory i really have no idea how its going to work

also 500ppm still wow. my buddha has started chasing nutes like crazy. im bumping her up 100 ppm a day shes on 850 now but im certain by tomorrow morning i will be going to 1000ppm for sure because every time i check the res the ppms are dropping like crazy. im just following scottys formula as best i can and i have noticed that if i dont keep up the new fan leaves on top start looking a bit yellow.
