15 x Barneys Farm LSD Seeds from Attitude Seeds - from Germination to Harvest.
in propagator.
soil - canna terra professional plus.
no nutrients week 1.
week 2
nutrients - canna start 2 ml for 2 feeds now 4ml per litre of water.
60ml - 90ml depending on lightness of pot in a 300ml cup every 2 days
that just gave them a huge kick up the arse and they are growing in front of me now.
ph 6.5
humidity 70%
temps 28c ( about 80f )
week 1 light t5
week 2 Light 400w metal halide (new bulb) at 20 inches above (from 3 feet) lowered slowly over 1 week.
i used the bonus code 420 and saved myself £10 the seeds then cost me £90 ($139.19) in november last year.
i recieved the seeds through the post next day delivery.
i recieved :-15 x barneys farm LSD Seeds in a pack of 10 and a pack of 5, and 6 free seeds, singly wrapped which were :-
1 x john Sinclair Seeds, Indica Viper. (Dead)
1 x Reserva Prevada, R.K.S. - (Non Germination)
1 x John Sinclair Seeds, Sativa trans Love.
1 x Ceres Seeds, Northern lights X Skunk.
1 x Ceres Seeds, White Indica.
1 x DNA Sour Cream.
total 21 seeds and all are Feminized.
i stored the seeds in the dark in a drawer for 2 months before i needed them.
i then germinated the seeds in a root riot tray in the dark for 24 hours temps at 25c (76f) then transfered under 2 x twin tube 55w T5 Lamps the first picture is of the seeds germinating under this lamp fixture.
they will have 24hrs light until week 2 or 3.
these trays come pre watered and sealed in polythene. i did not put my seeds in a glass of water.
i just watered the tray with ph 5.8 water to stop it drying out.
under the light i was giving them canna start at half strength at ph 5.8. then full strength after 2 days.
after 5 days i have just placed them in soil 1 metre under a 400w metal halide with a brand new bulb fitted and an oscillating fan blowing between the lamp and plants in the second picture.
i am feeding them water at ph 6.5 now. with temps averaging 25c (76f) all the time.
of all the 21 seeds only 17 seeds sprouted and then 3 plants died in the tray while 14 plants survived.
1 seed did not open germinate although 1 opened but did nothing.
not forgetting i originally paid for 15 so i am very happy with this outcome of 14 feminized plants i cannot complain.
i put this down to nature and the survival of only the fittest.
so i have 10 L.S.D seeds.
i wished i had logged which seeds came from which 5 or 10 pack but i did not.
i only have 10 of the original 15 i wanted but i have 4 bonus plants and looking forward to the first taste of them.
i am going to transfer them in a couple of days to under a dual spectrum 600w hps with a used bulb to help the plants fill out and stop stretching for 1 week before i put them under new bulbs.
once they are ready to flower i will put them in my 10 feet x 6 feet grow room.
more to follow.
edit :-
i have added 2 pictures of the non germinating/growing seeds inside the dried out root riot cubes. you can see what has been going on.
i have heard that it is very difficult to germinate barneys farm l.s.d. but they are a hardy disease resistant strain once they get a grip.
i had a little difficulty with 3 runts but 2 ok now the last one is at the bottom right, in the last picture you can see one plant with water droplets this plant was very slow and wilty so i dug her out and she had stunted roots so i have been spraying her 3 times a day and giving her canna rhizotonic to aid in the root structure and she is picking up now.
you can see where the humidity has dropped from 70% to 40% and temp dropped 1c from 28 to 27 when i removed the cover from the propagator.
UPDATE :
you can see the size of the plants compared to the little pots beside them they were in last week, (these small pots are filled with water and soil to help raise humidity a bit)
removed propagator had trouble with low humidity in the 20s go it up to 40%
two plants were in a bad state when i got home one night and i got them revived (the two at the top left last picture were wilted to death) new growth coming on strong, all plants repotted 2.5 litre bags.
same soil ph 6.5 water only for 5 feeds now.
UPDATE :
Update:
better pictures.
last picture shows damage low down on the two plants that were struggling but new growth is very healthy.
