Hashberry from Mandala Seeds





I'm using MG seed starting mix, I know a lot of you cats don't like MG but this stuff feels as fluffy as air.:mrgreen: I placed the seeds directly into the mix using jiffy pots so the first transfer should go smooth. I watered the mix using distilled water pH 6.3 and the placed the seeds in the mix.

The lights are just 4 ft shop lights with cool tubes putting out 3000 lm. I have 3 that I use for my veg cycle. I'll be using a 600 watt hps to flower



This is not my first grow but it is the first time I have quality seeds and I am excited to say the least. I've never kept a grow journal before so go easy on an old head and I'll do my best:joint:

Thanks for stopping in R1.

All of the seeds have germinated and most have made it all the way out of the dirt. The first one popped out yesterday morning.

Thanks for the heads up OB.

I lost 2 of my babies today because they got 2 dry. Those jiffy pots really let the dirt dry out quick. I'll have to keep a closer eye until they are ready for bigger pots.

I transplanted my ladies(hopefully) on friday & all 8 are looking great. The pics where taken right after transplant.


I use a mix that I got from this site, well I've modified it slightly.

4 cubic feet of local organic soil
1 cup of blood meal
1 cup of bone meal
1 1/2 cup of aluminum sulphate
1 cup of dolomitic lime
1 TBS muriate of potash
1 tsp copperas

I added the extra 1/2 cup of aluminum sulphate to drop the pH a little. The end pH is 6.8.

I watered soil thoroughly with an insecticide recommended by a local shop. I had a outbreak of fungus gnats over run my room last grow so I figured I'd take precautions.

I let the soil set for a few days before the transplant. On friday I check the pH again, it was still 6.8. I watered the distilled water, pH 6.3.

The humidity is holding around 70% & the temperature ranges from high sixties at nigh to mid 80's in the day. I'll be getting a new dehumidifier when I put them into flower.

No I've got a 600 watt hps light setup in my flowering room. I've got a spare 400 watt hps if I decide to turn them into bushes. The shop lights work pretty good for vegging, well if you've got a few of them that are easily raised & lowered they work. I've had some pretty big plants veg under them.

Jason does have some mighty fine looking HB.:weed: Hope mine look half as good as his. This is my first grow with quality genetics so looking at his pics gets me excited about the end results. Hell I haven't had any dank buds in so long, I mean people sell what they call dank & I guess it is for this area but it's not top shelf.:cry: I must say that these little beauties are much more impressive than bag seed. It makes me want to start all my good seeds but I'll wait because of state laws & the amount of work it takes to grow 20 or 30 plants. Plus this is just for personal use I'm not in a hurry.

I've been watering them with distilled water, since they are small it doesn't cost a lot but I'll be switching to good old tap water when the go into the 3 gallon pots. Soil is holding pH 6.8. The plants are between 2 3/4" to 4 1/4". A couple of them have some signs of a slight burn, I thought they might because they weren't quit ready for my soil mix. It's not bad just a little burnt on the tip.
The pics are of the biggest one. I haven't numbered them yet but I guess I need to so I know which one to clone.

4 cubic feet of local organic soil
1 cup of blood meal 12-0-0
1 cup of bone meal 0-10-0
1 1/2 cup of aluminum sulphate - for sulphur
1 cup of dolomitic lime - calcium & magnesium + it helps stabilize the pH or so I've heard
1 TBS muriate of potash 0-0-60 I'll be replacing this with green sand next time.
1 tsp copperas - iron & a little more sulphur

It's a little "hot" for the little ones but they are big enough now that they should start to really enjoy it. It's an ever evolving mix. I'm not a pro but have had a few good harvest with this mix.

Since you gave me that, I will give you this, lol, it is very helpful... When I copy and paste it messes the tabbing up, but if you follow it straight down, or re-tab it- you will get the idea, its an amazing deficiency chart.

Cannabis Nutrient And Deficiency Table
By: Seedless

To use the table just match up the plants symptoms with those on the table. Nutrients that are shaded Red are the problem. Find that nutrient in the text below the table for the remedy.


SYMPTOMS N P K Ca S Mg Fe Mn B Mb Zn Cu Over Fert.
Yellow Upper Leaves No No No No Yes No Yes No No No No No No
Yellow Middle Leaves No No No No No No No No No Yes No No No

NITROGEN (N)
Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week.

PHOSPHORUS (P)
Slow or stunted growth, red stems. Smaller leaves that are dark green. Lower leaves yellow and die. Add chemical fertilizer containing P. Affected leaves will not show recovery but new growth will apear normal.

POTASSIUM (K)
Affected plants are usually tallest and appear to be most vigorous. Necrotic spots form on lower leaves. Red stems. Leaves appear pale or yellow. Add chemical fertilizer containing K.

CALCIUM (Ca)
Lack of calcium in the soil results in the soil becoming too acid. This leads to Mg or Fe deficiency or very slow stunted growth. Treat by foliar feeding with one teaspoon of dolomatic lime per quart of water until condition improves.

SULFER (S)
Plants suffering from S definciencies exhibit yellowing of new growth. Mix one tablespoon of Epsom salts per gallon of water until condition improves.

MAGNESIUM (Mg)
Lower leaves yellow and may even turn white while veins remain dark green. Blades die and curl upward.

IRON (Fe)
Leaves on growing shoots turn pale and veins remain dark green. pH imbalances make iron insoluble. Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Fe or rusty water.

MANGANESE (Mn)
Necrotic and yellow spots form on top leaves. Mn deficiency occurs when large amounts of Mg are present in the soil. Foliar feed with any chemical fertilizer containing Mn.

BORON (B)
Growing shoots turn grey or die. Growing shoots appear burnt. Treat with one teaspoon of Boric acid (sold as eyewash) per gallon of water.

MOLYBDENUM (Mb)
Yellowing of middle leaves. Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Mb.

ZINC (Zn)
White areas form at leaf tips and between veins. Occurs in alkaline soils. Zn deficiency can be treated by burying galvanized nails in the soil. Chemical fertilizer containing Zn can also be used.

OVER FERTILIZATION
Causes leaf tips to appear yellow or burnt. To correct soil should be flushed with three gallons of water per one gallon of soil.

What a sad day guys, as I sit here typing I'm smoking the last of my homegrown. It was only bag seed but it works(I sure am glad I've finally got some good genetics). I haven't had to buy a bag in probably 8 months but I had to shut down my room for a few weeks in May so I harvested everything. Man it's going to be hard to not rush this grow now, maybe just a couple of the ladies will go into the flower room a little early.:blsmoke:

When I watered the little ladies this evening I noticed 8 or 10 gnats flying around so I spayed the plants with some neem oil. I'm going to bug bomb the whole room this weekend, I'll be sure to put them in a safe place.

They are between 3 3/4 - 6". I guess I'll lst them over the weekend & with any luck I'll be cloning them in a couple of weeks. I'll post some pics after the lst.:joint:
