Here's a photo update. The Kalichakra in soil is really looking good. The only negative is the height...I finally had to top it to keep it off the light. After topping, it's about 42 inches high (I took 6 inches off). Strong buds through the whole plant. The Safari in soil also looks great...

I want to try some breeding too (so at least I always have a stash of seeds) but in the last 3 months out of 14 seeds planted in 5 different strains, only 3 have turned up female. If I saved all that male pollen I would become a sperm bank. Right now I have some Western Winds pollen put away...

Hey Franco, here's an update on my Mandala strains. The females are kicking some butt. Kalichakra and Safari are both in flower and looking great. The only downside is that 2 of 2 Mandala #1 and 8 mile high came up male so I started a new round. I'll keep you posted. I should be about 6...

I'm down to 2 Kalichakras and 1 Safari. Everything else was male. In the meantime, I put 2 more of Mandala #1 and 8 mile high into germination. I'll keep my fingers crossed. The Hydro system is based on Stinkbud's design and threads. The only MJ in the system is my lone female clone. The...

Here's a photo of my mini Stink system - 8 plants built for a 4x4 footprint grow tent. It's a little bare right now since I had some awful luck with males: 7 of 8 plants from seed ended up male. grrrr... I put a couple of tomatoes in the system (back plants) and the one in the front is my...

Moving a few plants to Stinkbud Hydro System (pics are coming.) I'm using Foxfarm Nutrients.... 761 ppm to start (with water measuring 170 before adding Nutes.) 3 T of grow Big and 5 T of Big Bloom in 5 gallons of water. (1/2 RO water and 1/2 tap). Water PHd to 6.0 after adding nutes. One...

I'm having really good success with this strain. 2 of 2 seeds planted were female. It is the most vigorous of anything in the grow room. First to show sex; first to throw roots in the cloner and best looking all around plant. It grows very upright and will probably need to be tied soon...

Thanks DWR!! Finally I'm getting lucky with sexing....the 2 Kalichakra are definitely female and the remaining Western Wind is looking promising. Not sure about the last safari or 8 mile. The Kalichakras are about double the size of the other plants with stalks almost as big as a hot dog...

Returned from vacation today and all is well with the grows. Of the 9 plants in the second grow, 4 turned up male. 2 of the Manadala #1, 1 western winds, and 1 8 mile high are DOA after sexing. The cloner looks like it is working great. The coleus all popped roots after less than 2 weeks.

Put them into flower on 2/18 after 20 days veg. The tallest plant was 10 inches. Took cuttings for cloner today...4 plants only (all I could fit in the cloner- it's filled with 5 coleus and a tomato). Hopefully I guessed right and have a couple females in there. Two of the cuttings were from...

Things are looking great. The plants are "thick" looking...with almost chunky leaves. The Mandala strains look especially healthy. Last night I pulled a slug off of one plant....not sure how a slug showed up on my indoor grow. I plan to clone all the plants at the end of next week and...

There's a pretty good pie chart at Wikipedia breaking down spending (pre "stimulus" bill). According to that, 21% of total Fed spending is Defense, of which about half goes directly to U.S. citizens as military pay. Like it or not, the military is not the source of our spending problems. On...

I don't know but I doubt it. I used a hacksaw to slice up my posts. The other interesting thing I picked up last time at Menards is a 14 gallon Rubbermaid tub. Rubbermaid makes 18s, 14s and 10s...all with the same footprint and lid. I'm using a 14 under my flowering system to gain a...

Menards carries the 5 x 5 posts and caps. I paid about $26 for one post 8 feet long.

Trouble is, MG is easy to come by. Like McDonald's, you can buy it on every street corner. It's just not that good for you.

Quick correction......previously wherever I referred to Super Skunk it's actually Power Skunk G13 that I'm growing. (Freebies from Attitude)

This seems worth sharing. I've had two soil grows from seed so far: the first in Miracle Grow and the second in Sunshine Mix #960. The second grow was just transplanted from 4 inch pots (where the seeds started) to 2 gallon pots. This after 11 days after sprouting. The roots on the...

Last night I saw roots popping out of the four inch pots. Considering that my first grow hardly had very few roots at the bottom of the same pots at Day 26, there is something way better going on in grow #2. I am attributing the difference to the soil: the first grow was miracle grow mixed...

Took another look at the Super Skunk tonight...it's definitely a male. Damn... 3 for 3 males on my first grow. I put them down (humanely) and moved the 10 started seeds to the Secret Jardin tent; converted back to MH lighting and set it for 18/6. *sigh* Well, it's all good. I'm really gonna...

One week into grow # 2: Here is the crop- 2 x Mandala #1 2 x 8 Mile High 2 x Kalichakra 2 x Western Winds ( Kali Mist ) 1 x Manadala Safari Mix 1 x Super Skunk (also 2 tomato plants - front of photo)
