These seeds came, i opted for discreet packaging but damn i wasn't expecting it THIS discreet!

The seeds came sandwiched between cardboard, like slotted into the gaps (see pics).

This was taped side down to the inside of a DVD case, complete with an actual DVD!

If thats not enough, the DVD was plastic sealed, as if brand new and never been opened.....

Very impressed.

Also... i got 7 FREE strains to try out, not all are feminized but a few are.

I've never heard of half the strains... someone help me work out the following:


KC Brazil (r)

KC Haze (r)

KC crystal paradise (r)

Sleestack (r)

Of course can't wait. It has been quite mess here with those server problems and very little news to read these days. Check out mine too later. Maybe you will like another DIY.

  • Loads of pics this week as.... its the last update before chop! Sad times!
  • Anyway, buds are getting super frosty as can be seen in the pics, hairs are turning orange SLOWLY which i'm glad to see.
  • From now on, i'm gona feed her every 4 days as apose to every 3 days. This is for various reasons, none of which are for the benefit of Suze.
  • Temperatures here are continuing to drop with rumours of snow and what not, so i decided to invest in another 80W heater. These only run during lights off, where temperatures have been dropping to 16C in my cab. 16C is the absolute lowest i want it to reach in there, even though i've been reassured that as long as the temp doesn't fluctuate more than 10C between lights on and lights off i should be ok. Lights on temp is 21-22C, so canopy level probably 25-27C.
  • Some yellowing can be seen across the canopy. Last time Suze was fed was on saturday and this feeding contained Bloom Final. Ideally i'd like to use it in the next few feeds and see how the plant reacts, but i can't, so am going to continue using it and hope for the best! Remember from now on Suze's health is out of my control...... This could be the healthiest she's ever gona be before harvest. I'm half expecting to come back in a couple weeks to find this yellowing on every single bit of every single leaf.... we shall see
  • I will do one last prune on her, removing all yellow tips ect i can see.
  • As much as i'd love to allow the bud growing through the middle of the CFL on the left to keep growing up, i don't want to take any chances and so will raise the light up enough so i can guarantee it wont touch any buds.
  • Brought this grow to the original breeders attention (eskobar). This is what he had to say:

    "Heya

    Scrog with Knex, by lil indian. I love it.

    Its more scrog cookie to me.

    Many growers are use to foxtails, but not starshape foxtails. And that is what Chocolate Berry does.

    In about two weeks time the density of the canopy will reach a dangerous level.

    Good luck

    Grdz e$ko"

    So its not just me then, the buds on this plant are growing in some crazy shapes! Long long foxtails, hard to photograph though, should be easy come harvest though.

vvvv 1 big bud!!! ^^^

They could take second Avatar movie in your plant. It looks like kind of the tree where the local tribe lived :D :D Suze looks crazy! Love the carpet. It looks super fluffy. Those sugar leaves look like from different plant not MJ. They could be peppermint or something like that. :D

Don't smoke away after harvest and show us the porn.

Merry Christmas Lil'

Edit: DIY is already three days old!

Haha that made me laugh. I'm picturing little blue people running around Suze, and worshipping her.

She might look fluffy but the buds don't seem to be, the weigh in will clear that up. As long as the buds aren't really airy which they really dont feel, then i should hit my target at least i'm sure.

The leaves on this plant are just straight up weird... well the flowering foliage is anyway, leaves lower down, especially fan leaves look super healthy and happy.

I'm ashamed to say after harvesting i do usually turn into a zombie, and unless i have a grow going on and a journal to update, i rarely come on RIU these days! The solution??? Start another grow/journal! Which i will i'm sure...

Gotta apologise for not keeping track of your journal, u give mine a lot of attention! Been overly busy past few weeks, barely been keeping an eye on my own. Just been reading about ur DIY fan, i say reading as i can't see the pics! This new forum layout is confusing everyone... Anyway, from what i read, i'm already hugely impressed and really want to see the pics to go with it!

Happy xmas Maariic, smoke up on my behalf as this xmas i wont be able to!

That plant is AMAZING. Can I ask what the smell is like inside the tent and is there any smell outside?

Thanks very much, glad you like.

The smell inside the cab isn't that strong, the crazy air circulation inside may have something to do with it, but its also down to genetics, this isn't an overly stinky strain in flowering, but it does smell of chronic. The bud itself smells delicious, sweet with a hint of citrus for some reason, not a fruity smell. The only way i can describe it is... well put it this way, i wondered how and why Eskobar called this one Chocolate berry, come week 3-4 of flowering all became apparent!


The smell outside the cab is non-existant. This is due to a completely air tight design and MASSIVE amounts of extraction. Air is being replaced in the cabinet very very quickly with fresh air from outside. I'm hoping this works on 3 fronts... Smell, mould and temperatures.

Thanks for the reply. I am currently doing my first grow, im keeping a local journal but have not posted one yet as I am not sure if I will make it to finishing. I am growing bagseed with CFLs (312watt) and most likely will scrog or something along those lines. The bagseed is really interesting most of it is a light skunk and seems indica dom however one plant has a pine / lemonish smell to it and appears more sativa dom.

Anyhow, I've really enjoyed watching your thread and your progress and can't wait to see the results, thanks for posting this!

Glad to hear the effort in creating/maintaining this journal is worth it.

I would post the following in your thread, but as you don't have one YET.... this will do.

You should really keep a journal on RIU going, ESPECIALLY if it's your first grow. The reason for this is if you encounter problems, more experienced people are on hand to help you identify your problems and point you in the right direction. Also people can help you avoid problems before you even encounter them by suggesting little tweaks and stuff. My first grow was a complete spur of the moment decision, i was very VERY doubtful at times whether i'd make it to harvest or not for a whole handful of reasons, but determination/plenty of research and help from other RIU users got me there. But be careful who you take advice from!!!!

So after my first harvest it was time to smoke up and see if it was all worth it.... well...I have not looked back since! Growing has now become a very big part of my life, to the extent where i'm striving to make a career out of it! (Legit)

Have a peek at my first journal to see how i started off.... i really didn't have a clue! I mean i was watering from on-top AND below, which through experience and other things i've learnt was hugely unnecessary. But by doing it i learnt.

One thing i've said many times before and will stress again... Is having a good healthy environment for your plants to live in makes growing HUGELY easier, and makes fucking up a lot harder! By this i mean good air circulation, plenty of fresh air, and plenty of light. Growing, especially when starting off requires time (for plenty of research + setting everything up/taking care of your plants) and money (the more you put in, the better controlled environment you can create which in turn results in a healthier plant). Also good genetics help, as some strains are a lot easier to grow than others.

I can't really say this too confidently, but if i were growing using CFL's AND it was my first grow, i'd definitely stick to growing a straight up completely natural plant(s), and no training (like my first grow), then once you're a bit more confident, step your game up and give your hand at training, see how the plant reacts, how it grows, you'll learn plenty!

This is only my 3rd grow, i'm still learning plenty every day... and still have massive amounts to learn.

Anyway thanks for the nice words, and thanks for stoppin by! Let me know how your grow develops.

How does the understory look? Is it yellowy? When I have a really dense scrog the lower portion of the buds get yellow and don't mature up like the upper ones do. If this happens , just do a massive leaf trim about a week before harvest. Then harvest the best buds aver the coarse of a couple days.. Leaving the lower ones to mature up

Just a thought. Looking amazing dude.

Oh Lordy, that is a freakish sight. Were you expecting this kind of growth?

How much you think you're gonna yield? What's that smell like?
