MR. NICE STRAINS AND SEEDS

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.
When moving plants the environment in both locations shouldn't be that different. Your goal for the environment is the same no matter where the location is.

I want to make something clear. It was not mr nice seeds that hermed. My guess would be freezing cold pickup truck ride to a cold dark basement.

I'd suggest turning the heat on next time. I'm guessing your reply would be they were in the bed of the truck. But even so I'd imagine they were enclosed in something to hide them. Which in turn means they could be warmed up. Whether it is a steel bucket with hot rocks in it or some other rig. It can be done it just takes thought. And like I told the guy about organic soil. Forethought is your friend there will be a time everyone has a problem. If you've thought about the possible problems ahead of time when they arise you can immediatly start to correct. When you notice a problem you want to already know how you'd handle it. Noticing a problem then searching websites and waiting for replies wastes crucial time! Anything is better than hermies.

Glad to hear it wasn't MNS gear.

30/30 La Niña broke soil and the shells and membrane have come off. I hope I can find a few heavy MM leaning phenos from the batch. It looks like I'll have to round up 4 extra pots. I've only got 50 1 gallon pots and 54 plants. I popped SSH first and I used that germination rate to determine how many La Niña to germinate and reach 50 plants. But the La Niña germination rate was 100% it doesn't get better than that.

I actually started them in 5 gallon buckets outdoors….they've only been out there for about a week, the C99 shot up and is up to about 4-5 inches now…the G13/Haze is up to about 8 inches….they both look completely healthy, and i see the stems have slowly started to get thicker, so all is looking good. I'm debating moving indoors for flowering though, not sure yet though, so I'll see how things look in a couple weeks.

I didn't have time to plan. I had a grow partner at the time. I was paying half of their electric bill. The dude kept moving shit around and I was having trouble with my plants. He was killing my shit off. He used $200 worth of my soil without asking. Then He thought he would start unplugging lights to save money. I checked on some clones and the water temps were 150 degrees. That dude didn't have a clue as to what he was doing and he wouldn't leave my shit alone. I probably lost about a thousand dollars in that deal. He got a bad ass grow room out of it. I'll never grow with anyone else again.

Regarding a CBD buzz - I grew out Nordle. It's surprisingly heady in a 50/50 plant. Put a big smile on my face. One you couldn't really contain. Good pain relief. Quite functional. I like it. Going to hunt through 100 or so Z6 beans next summer to find some real winners in the 50/50 category. Hoping to find 100% CBD plants as well, not sure how true breeding the Z6 line is though. If I find a 50/50 I will be selfing it or crossing it to an other 50/50 to bring out pure CBD phenotypes.

Hoping I can lock it down in seed form (pure CBD).

Bringing plants inside can be risky. Because there tends to be pests that come with them. I'd suggest fogging immediately no matter how good they look.

Unfortunately I went to check on my plants yesterday, had a bad rain storm during the day, and both plants were knocked over by the rain….I stood them back up & by this morning they looked to be recovering nicely…the next 4-5 days are supposed to be nice, so hopefully they make a full recovery.

Both my C99 & G13/Haze seem to be saliva dominate. Both have very weak steams, other than being knocked over, they've looked extremely healthy though. This morning they looked to be on their way back to looking healthy, so hopefully that continues.

I just wish their stems would thicken up & get stronger, because if they stay as is, i'll be needing to tie these things up.

Being outside I'd start staking them up. You can't control rain and wind ect. As it flowers the weight is only going to increase. Next time it could snap the stem. I've learned my lesson with support. It's the same as pest control. It's much better to do it for preventative measures. If you support as you go you won't be reaching "into" the plant dropping leaves or bending side branches. And this is for indoors. Outside it can only be worse. My fans are directed and I control the power -wind no control what so ever. Rain just adds to the problem. I don't think I need to explain why.

I've been using this
Looks like it should do a good job if that's your method of attack. The LAST thing I want to do is spray my plants after I switch to flower. During veg I'll use my azamax and/or neem oil by spraying it but only as a secondary follow up if pests persist. I will also foliar feed but other than feeding or misting I prefer to never spray. Obviously if you're growing outside spraying the plant is the preferred method. But being indoors it raises humidity and the is no "rain" to wash it off. So then I have to spray again to wash them. Removing humidity brings heat into the equation ect. It's just better to fog indoors.

36 days from putting SSH seeds in towels to germinate and 1/3 (8) were tall enough to take cuttings and begin sexing them. I topped them at the 4th set of leaves. The other 2/3rds isn't far behind. I imagine they'll all be done in the next 4-5 days.

I have been loking at the MNS auctions, how would I register? Is it complicated trying to use the auction?
No just go on their website TODAY and do it. They were slow at activating it when I joined. But it's worth the wait. I can't remember how or where but it was easy to find.

Auctions are real easy. It's just like eBay. Just make sure you know what the actual price is so you don't bid higher than what you could buy a pack directly from them for. Now they have buy it now so it's easy to find. If you buy direct they have a couple of ways to get a discount. If you want their genetics it the best place to buy them.

I have been to the website and looked at the auctions... I wanted to find silver haze and win a couple of other strains.
One that I have not seen anyone talk about is G13/skunk. I had it a couple of years back, its on the buy again list!
