MR. NICE STRAINS AND SEEDS

That plant looks less far along than my Zamaldelicas did at this stage and they all went 100+. It might not be 130, but I'd be shocked if it were done in less than 100.

The MM has phenotypes that go 20+ weeks easily. So it would not be a surprise to see them pop up now and then.

I am very curious about them, I just want everything to finish closer to the same time this run as I have some plans for the room and a schedule I want to meet.
Well I was expecting it to take longer than it did. I let it go until every single hair went brown. Because I was hoping it would have filled out better than it did. I ran 2 packs of med man and never had any go longer than 10 weeks. I'll run them again at some point because it's one of the faster finishers in my book and everyone likes it. Not a bad word about it from the patients.

MM = Mullimby Madness. Average flowering time in the 16-18 week range with many phenos going much longer. Actually I've heard it's closer to average 22 weeks but who really knows unless you've grown it out from seed.

That is half of La Nina. The other half being Black Widow and I assume he went with a more sativa dom phenotype. I have a BW that goes 12 weeks most go closer to 9.

Ah ha. I misunderstood. Yes that makes much more sense. I think that is what caught my eye with La Niña. (MM) Because I'd already run 2 packs of BW and I won't knock it or complain because I was a beginner then. But there was nothing about that La Niña that resembled the BW other than the size and shape of the buds from the other pheno. And the flowering times weren't that different. That is why now that I'm "rebooting" and going back over the strains I liked best. I'm starting with SSH and LA NIÑA and not BW.

60 hours and 100% germination rate on the La Niña. So assuming they all break ground now that they've been placed in soil? I had 2 that the roots started growing the wrong direction. They've wrapped around the shell and started to grow towards "sunlight". But I have 4 extra to play with. So I had 81% on SSH and 100% on La Niña both from the spring cleaning auctions. So everyone knows these seeds are "viable" but don't meet their standards to make the sealed packs and they get sold by the gram not amount of seeds. So although I used 31 SSH and 30 La Niña I still have plenty left in reserve. :clap:

GREAT question! I've got a pack myself. BUT I'm not an outdoor guy and with it being a mix of SO many different types I haven't dared. Only because I've got no idea what to expect from that pack. Pop them and keep us all updated please. Anyone with any experience or insight please share it with us.
Hi there Goldberg,
Thanks for the reply!
I'm pretty excited to run MNS gear (finally)
The walkabout was an impulse buy on Shanti's auction recently... I'm no outdoor guy either! I'm actually working along with my first solar grow this summer, and I'm digging it.

I will no doubt pop a couple beans in my tent, for the hell of it. As you stated earlier in this thread, waiting a few extra weeks is no issue!

I am curious, and maybe I missed it earlier in the thread, what is the consensus on the Critical Haze?
I've grown one other haze hybrid and it was a monster that loved LST.

I just want to state that I love that MNS has an auction set up. Couple this with their lack of marketing (ie not throwing hand fulls of bud out at C.C. not renting full page ads in High Times etc) really screams "let the growers do the talking" and not just regular mega marketing type shenanigans. As a consumer that puts me at ease.

Welcome. I have no experience with critical haze and I can't recall it being mentioned here either. So if you do buy or run them please let us know how it goes. The only input I could give you I've already stated. I've run critical mass and critical skunk. My opinion is critical mass is for cash croppers. I ran 6 as I use to do with new strains. So the sample size was small. But they did have large buds and thicker stems and I'd consider it a fast finisher. But finishing that pack isn't even on the horizon for me. The critical skunk was the same I ran 6. When I started to eliminate strains these where the 1st 2 dropped. I have almost a gram of these seeds but germinating them isn't on my horizon either. At this point I'm steering clear of anything with critical in it. I'm not trying to be hard on them. But as I've said before I will take SHIT over critical skunk and combine that with my opinion of CM. The common denominator is critical mass. Bear in mind I have over 18 strains to choose from in my frig.

Yeah, I saw your comments a few pages back. I am hoping the haze genes would really make the cm shine because I am no cash cropper!

I basically chose the two earliest/cheapest auctions without putting a lot of thought into it, and figured what the Heck? Give em a shot, if I find one good pheno and get a mother out if the deal, then it will be money well spent. I've got the CH and Walkabout heading my way, I've got to finish my current flower run before I will have room for the new gear. Look for updates in a couple months, I'll post directly in this thread.

If you ever decide to clean out the fridge, shoot me a PM! As you know, there is no such thing as too many seeds.hahaha

I just won some cbd critical mass anyone try that yet?
i grew cbd cm and in my opinion it was better than mr.nice cm.. great production and good high/crystal content, only problem was by the seventh generation mom,, it hermed..the 6 previous generations were all great, couldve been my fault to though as i was moving at the time?? way better than the cm i got from nice

well they grew and looked completely different..
That seems to be the case with just about every seed breeder. Did they smell and taste different? I moved a grow one time and all the clones from one particular plant hermed. I don't know what kind it was they were given to me. I assumed it was the environment change that caused it.

I'm amped! Went to check on my G13/Haze the other morning (which was doing great) & the C99 from Female Seeds, which i thought wasn't going to sprout, has now sprouted!

My G13/Haze as of this morning was about 6 inches high with 4 leaves developing….this thing is shooting up higher & higher each day, it's been a pretty rapid growth.

C99 which shot up outta nowhere also has 4 leaves developing, but is about 2 inches high, much shorter than the G13/Haze, this ones only been above ground for 2 days though, the G13/Haze has been above ground for 5 days.

Both plants are looking healthy, and my first grow is looking promising.

One question, does anyone know about when in the Veg cycle do the stems & plant start to thicken up? I'm wondering because the G13/Haze keeps getting taller, but the stem is very thin, so i'm worried about it falling over, even though currently it's shown no sign of doing so, it's just been shooting straight up.

How close are your lights Devils and what kind of lights? Pretty common first run mistake to put your T5's or CFL or whatever you're using a little too far away to maximize the light. You can and probably should keep them at most three or four inches from your plants.

10/4 and don't keep seedlings in the small cells to long. You want them to expand their root system asap. So as soon as I can grab the stalk and remove it UNHARMED from the flat I transplant them. Maybe 2 weeks total in flats before moving to 1 gallon contains (min size)
