Post away peeps... Please share your pics here... I'll try the strain again on a promo or when I see singles available. I'm just not dropping $70 on them again..

In less than 24 hours, I have germinated 2 Dready Skunks, a Dinafem Skunk and another Dinafem strain. I'm still waiting on the Kannobia Afrodite.... my other Kannobia UFO never germinated... so far, they ain't on a winning streak, but it has only been 18 hours. All the others popping so soon surprised me. Heat mat set at 75 degrees, ambient is about 70.

I'm now sold on the paper towel method. Except for the TD, everything I have germed in a PT has germed.

:leaf:UPDATE:leaf:

For those just tuning in This TD is grown Hempy/Scrog method.

Feeding at this stage is 8ml FloraNova Bloom per gal w/R.O. water PH 6.0.
Using 1 gal every other day.
Feed schedule is Day1 feed , Day2 skip , Day3 feed etc etc..No plain water.
If I run into PH issues i just flush with a lower nute strength until runoff is at PH 6.0

So far it has really stretched within these 2 weeks of 12/12 lighting. If it gets too close ill need to do some LST. Luckily i have a fan blowing up into the reflector which has heat vents.

Pistils are popping out more now. Started cutting excess leaves under the screen slowly every other day so i dont overstress the plant.

The fragrance really is wonderful just as described.:weed:

Please excuse the poor quality pics.

Post your thoughts guys.

You are correct. I just have about 2more days in week 2 and this TD has been really growing mad.

Oh +rep to everyone.

Serapis i believe the pic of the plant i had in the background on one of my veg pics is the Kannabia Afrodite. I think i found my last TD seed somewhere.

Its showing traits of the afrodite and not like the TD. I did the uncle bens topping method on it. Its real short and bushy right now. Ill try to post a pic of it next update.

say bro still looking amazing... imho.. i would run your feeding up to atleast 9ml of that floranova bloom now.. i've been testing it with bagseed hempys and they seem to be responding well to it... and again imho... i would feed 1 day, nothing next, feed the 3rd day, skip, Straight water at day 5 then repeat.. ill post where im at with my bags and kush via the hempy... im also running a test to see the difference in results between a 2 gal and 5 gal hempy of the same kush strain... how much longer do you have 6+ weeks?

Great looking SCROG, your doing excellent.
I myself, would be hesitant to feed at higher rate....one of your pics shows some lower leaf edge curl that appears to be nut related.
And you know best, you seem to be reading your TD very well.
I'm definitely paying attention....................
And I believe that TD is a 10 week strain.

Probably have about 6.5 - 7 wks if flower times from Barney's is correct.

As far as bumping nute to 9ml.....I started noticing nute burn some days ago.Leaf tips and edges were browning. I have since then lowered the strength to about 5ml per gal. Hopfully i diagnosed
it correctly. I should have went to 12/12 a bit earlier....got some colas within a few inches from the light. The 6in fan blowing into it is helping though. It either I flower earlier or just extend my box up a ft or two.

Anyways thanks all for the comments and tips +rep. Ill post an update in a few days.

:leaf:UPDATE:leaf:

Ok I encountered some bumps along the way.

Symptoms:
1)Possible Nute Burns/ Salt build up.
*Leaf Tips and Edges were browning,curling up* , *Leaf edges Cupping*

Correction taken:
1)Flushed with low strength nute 2ml FNB per gal.

2)Changed Feed/water schedule to everyday.
*Found Res. near empty day after filling*

3)Cutback on Nute strength from 8ml to 2ml and slowly increasing.
*Currently feeding 5ml FNB per gal. this time using Tap water*

Looks like the browning and cupping is controlled. Will need to monitor.

:shock:Underestimated the 12/12 stretching:shock: Some Tops are now 5-6 inches from bulb.
:idea:Next time switch to 12/12 at 25% screen covered or extend box higher:idea:
Did some LST to reposition some tops to the sides instead of directly under intense light area.

Luckily I have a fan blowing up into the hood which is preventing scorching on tops.
*Placed Hand above Tops near bulb for 1 min. Light warmth nothing hot*

I also attached some pics of the leaf deficiencies. I would really appreciate some advice on what it looks like and what else should i do to improve her health.

Also attached some pics of TD clones and 1 Kannabia Afrodite (Short Bushy).

Pic 8 looks like calcium deficiency. What is your humidity like? Here is a good explanation of what could be happening, and it seems to happen at less than 70% humidity, despite what this site says. Regardless, I thought it a good explanation as it happened to a few of my leaves.

Humidity is anyway from 35%-45% average. If it is cal def. Ive now switched to using tap water for the added cal in it already plus Floranova Bloom should have cal in it also.

Ill just have to monitor it closely for awhile and note changes.

Thx for helping me out anyway u can.
