KeizerSoze where did you go? how are you sugar punch and anesthesia doing? hope new electrical issues in the land of the easily amused didn't mess your grow up!
No pics... The batteries in my camera are dead
A quick Sugar Punch update... I have Eight that look like they will make it. Four that I would classify as strong, four that I would classify as weak and then two that died immediately after breaking through the soil.
Anesthesia has been easier to deal with and a lot stronger. I have ten that I think are going to make it. Eight are strong and two are week, including the twin that needed to have her shell helmet removed. One never broke through the soil.
I have also germinated Bomb Seeds, Cherry Bomb and Escobar's Candy Kush. I was 9/10 on Cherry Bomb and 10/10 on Candy Kush. Based on Rorry's "Pop where you chop" philosophy, I changed my germination method a bit. I soaked my seeds for 48 hours in a shot-glass to let them grow tails and then straight to soil. Worked great. The one Cherry Bomb that didn't make it was a weak seed that opened a bit but never developed a tail so I wasn't surprised when it didn't survive. It did sprout and pop it's head above ground (about a week behind the rest), but died soon after just like the two sugar punch.
I would say out of all of the seeds that I have germinated lately (Extrema, Cotton Candy, Sugar Punch, Anesthesia, Cherry Bomb and Candy Kush) Sugar Punch has been the most challenging and most disappointing. I am going to hold my strongest vegger back and make her a mom. I hope she will be worth it.
The outdoor Extrema and Cotton Candy are doing awesome vegging in the California sun. They are getting big and will be transplanted to their permanent homes later this week. Their runt sisters in the flower room are really looking awesome. Some of the most impressive plants I have ever seen. Both strains are strong, vibrant and are packing on the buds. Extrema is beginning to show some frost and looking good. I did have one Extrema hermi on me but I can not blame the strain. The conditions have been very challenging in my flower room as of late.
Things have been a bit crazy here in The Land of the Easily Amused... Electrical issues have all been handled... except for the ballast that blew in the flower room last night... If it's not one thing it's another... I do have a brand new electrical panel with all new breakers and everything had been awesome right up till last night at about 3:00 am...
Another top priority project for the never ending to do list...
In addition to the Extrema I also had three Dutch Passion Blueberry go hermi on me. I can not blame the breeder or the genetics on this one either. These poor plants have really taken a beating... I call them my "Crash Test Dummies" because they are the first plants through a brand new set up and they have had to put up with more than their fair share of glitches...
That is all for now... My "to do" list is calling... More later with pics.
