indoor/outdoor grow journal for 2010 grow season

so im in the planning phases of my indoor/outdoor grow. i plan on starting germinating 5-6 seeds in mid to late march to be planted outdoors in mid to late april. for the first month the plants will be either grown "hobby" stile (meaning put on a windowsil most of the time) with a little supplementary cfl lighting when i can or after the first week or so they might end up sitting under my friends 400w hps next to his hydro plants

once april comes around ill be putting the plants in 3g pots and im going to build small platforms up in the tallest trees i can climb. ill keep an eye on rainfall but i think it would look really suspicious to see someone climbing trees every few days with water containers. im going to look into those aquaglobe things and see if i can get them cheap.

to avoid having to add nutrients im going to mix MG 3 month feeder with a little guano and a banana peel

anyone have any ideas or criticisms?

still hunting for good seeds, found one in a bag of "mids" that looked nicer than half the KB i smoke and tasted like headies. but it was still mids cuz its bricked and the high is not the greatest.

im going to germ this sucker today, just because i really miss the feeling of taking care of a plant

i have about 3 seeds from this bomb midgrades. im convinced that it was quality genetics at one point that got fucked up by pollen. anyway, assuming atleast one grows im going to call my mystery strain gustapo. its got nothing to do with nazis im just playing with the last name of my friend i got the great midgrades from

one of my gustapo seeds is showing the tiniest pinsized taproot poking out and one of my noname bagseeds (gonna call this one #1) has fully cracked with a taproot just under a cm in about 36 hours. gonna leave them a little longer and plant them probably tomorrow. if i have such good germ statistics by tomorrow im just going to toss out most of the no name seeds

more seeds have cracked but i need some soil and its all fuckin frozen!!!!!!

almost all the seeds cracked but i let the paper towel dry out over night, think theyll be ok or should i start over? i have seeds and time galore

first sprout popped her little cotyledons out of the soil. i only checked a little while ago so im going to say it sprouted march 1st for all intensive purposes seeing how its almost 11:00

good news and bad;

bad - did something stupid today and knoked my cup over. plant stayed in the soil but i lost some around the top wich i gently put back in a way that would expose only the cotyledons and the mini leaflets are exposed

good - at school today i found 2 seeds in a bag of master kush. they werent very strong, one is small and white and cracked when given the stress test. the other is not dark but a light green or tannish color with a few tiny stripe(lets?) but it passed the stress test. the latter is germinating right now and i really hope it cracks but i only think it has 50/50 chance of germing. it would be good to know im growing a reputable strain of bud i already know is DANK without ordering offline

whats the deal guys, is the because of the whole "dont post in peoples journals without permission " deal?

i want feed back or just chatter and discussion

so i killed the first few plants i had. they hadnt grown in a few days so i pulled them, they were verrrrrry dry and most likely dead. 2 possibilities a) soil was to rich or b) little to no ventilation caused temps to get to high or not enough air

i started another plant about a week ago. its doing exponentially better than the last few. thats probably because i improved my set up to consider why the last attempt failed by leaving the growspace open with a fan blowing in front and the plant is in a peat moss and yard soil mix

this little baby has its cotyledons, a pair of first leafs and a pair of itty bitty new leafs. ive never seen a sprout like this one but the stem is covered in what i believe, for lack of a better word, trichomes and underneath (just) one of the cotyledons is what i believe to be stipules. ive never seen ANYTHING grow UNDER the cotyledons, just above

Sorry for the few plants you lost bro' aleast you have a new one now

So when are you planning on planting outside?

So you have any PIC update ?

SUBED

no pics sorry, theres a quote of mine floating around in someones sig, something like;"why would i spend $90 on a digi-cam when i can get an eighth, a bottle and a few beans?"

im planning on going outside between april 20 (yes i know 4/20) and early may. the weather has been SO tempting to plant them outdoors now, but i know well have another frost. right now its 60F birds are chirping things are starting to grow, but i wont be fooled. THIS IS NEW ENGLAND where the weather changes more than in old england

im actually happier with one little baby, if i stay indoors long enough ill clone this one, but i really do need to get 2-3 more plants going in case this one ends up being male

thanks for joining me zig, it was getting lonely talking to myself here

No problem Kaleo ... So any idea on the strain ?

mystery strain, im too paranoid to order seeds online

cotyledons fell off yesterday, first dose of nutrients today

a little earlier than i would like but its all good

just subscribed, to bad you cant put up pics, dont even have a camera phone?

yeah Kaleo I was afraid of ordering at first but everyone was doing it. I don't think they even care. Look at all the business the post office gets off it. ha

good luck with the little ones.
