Who wants to join in a grow this winter?

Should be interesting to see how it goes... And to test em out!!!
I have a plan to pay for the new light... Hoping it works out. It would mean no real out of pocket money... And I really want that light. It would make my grow so much cleaner and neater.... I have 4 smaller lights I could use to cover a 4x4 tent with a total of 698 watts of LEDs... But it would be really nice to just use 1 light...

Omg yes, I'd like sour livers over both those strains. We read conflicting info on the run times of those strains they probably both take 10 weeks. Its hard to get a straight answer on run times some times :rolleyes:
Ok so I have 1 last change I want to make... The crystal candy is supposed to have some strawberry taste... So I think it is better suited to cross with the strawberry nuggets. However, the fastbuds green crack is supposed to have a mango flavor and is actually shorter than the smoothie and mango cream... So I want to go with smoothie, mango cream, green crack, and sour livers... But now I can't decide what to us as the pollinator... What do you think. The sour livers is the shortest followed by green crack then smoothie and mango cream...

Smoothie it is
Are you skeptical if the mango cream? I think we should have a few plants treated and developing a cluster of pollen sacks.

It tricky to guess which is the best before they bud.

I'm actually more confident in the mango cream than the smoothie but have nothing to base my oppion on. I think it's best to treat a branch of all the smoothie and mango cream.

I really want to see how these green crack go, I have a friend who's got a batch going now and had some germ issues. I've got one of the fast buds green crack seeds as well, I've been wanting to run.

Well I have very little experience with autos, but I do a lot of research. Pretty much everyone in the cannabis community agrees that Mephisto is #1 right now in the auto scene. After that the names that you hear are Dinafem, Dutch Passions, & Fastbuds that seem to fall into the popular runners up collumn. Anyone after that is either looked at as not quite as good... Or an unknown quantity... Plus the mango cream seem to be the tallest of the strains we are running and I'd like to keep them short. I prefer under 100cm... Honestly I think between 40cm and 70cm (16-18 inches) is about perfect... And that's where most of Mephisto's strains are at...

By the way, my plan to pay for the new light panned out. Now I'll only need to come up with about$100 out of

Light has been ordered... I am very excited to get my hands on it! I don't think I'll ever have to run it at 100%! With it's huge footprint and even light distribution, I can run it on lower power and closer to the plants without a hot spot. Screenshot_20190818-183644.png Screenshot_20190818-183648.png

I'm starting a set of Ace from stitch and two La Blanca from kanabia. Might do a practice sts treatment and document for you. I'll log here before you start your project if it's ok with you.

Yeah go ahead... I am trying to bump the start of my grow to beginning of October instead of end... That way I am sure to get 2 winter grows in...

This ace resonates with me, it popped first. I put it in the most stable soil I have available, hopefully they survive; not sure if they will tolerate my ways.

The La Blanca popped too, I'm going to get it set up in some no till recycled pots, water with tap and pray.

I'm so bad at germ for some reason. I totally failed my first round of the sour mellon mass and cookies cross. It was too early to germ them and may have done better if I shelled them all first.

My focus is on these ace and la Blanca now, I want to make a cross called white lace. Make sure I have my sts recipe right. Share the process if possible.

Don't mean to brag but I usually do really well with germ... I use a propagation tray with an 8-10" domb. I used a heated mat under it... And I use the burpee peet miss pucks that are meant for the tomato plants... Using this method I am well over 90% close to 100%. Out of probably 70+ seeds I had 1 not pop.... And I was pretty sure it wasn't viable before I planted it. I was small and pale... Looked very immature. Usually my baby's break the surface in 3-4 days. I don't really pay attention to direction of the seed. I just make a little hole in the peet pellet and drop it in... The cover it up with 1/8- 1/4 inch of peat but I don't pack it tight... I just tap it down a little so it's still a little loose.

This next round of seeds all popped over night but I usually have soil that's too wild in one way or another and my seeds rot shortly after I drop them in.

I'm trying to get myself to make a plug of soil that's neutral for them to get started in but usually end up mixing my soil to much and cooking the seeds. :eyesmoke:

I also have good luck using the large peat pellets... Planting them in the soil.... And placing a large clear cup over them...

Well my light is out of stock so it seems I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before I get it. I am also trying hard to push my start date up to September...
