ya know, after reading through your thread i'm thinking maybe i will make a grow journal when i get these seeds.
Heres what is on its way to my place from The Attitude:
- 10 Seedsman Seeds "Purple Bud"
- 10 Nirvana White Widow
- 10 Nirvana Aurora Indica
- 1 Feminized Seedsman Seeds Skunk #1
- 1 Feminized Barneys Farm Blue Cheese
then of course the freebies
- 5 G13 Labs Power Skunk
- 1 Feminized G13 Labs "Gigabud"
- 1 Feminized Diesel
I want to start with maybe 10 seeds total, so hopefully I get 5 or 6 females that I plan on cloning. In my head I'm thinking 15 is the magic number of plants that I will be able to fit in my cabinet (Giving them each an inch or two between eachother) I'm gonna start small and work my way up to that number though, first run through I may have as few as 6 in there just to see how things work.
I don't mean to be getting off topic in your thread, but if you had to choose a lineup to start with (of the seeds I'm getting), how would you do it?
I can't wait for my seeds to show up
I noticed your wording when you talked about getting your seeds and it made it seem as if you have your seeds set to be delivered in a place that could be where you have your grow... I was always under the impression it is a bad idea. I know that it seems paranoid, but if you buy seeds again, get them shipped to somewhere that has nothing to do with growing.
Now about this line up. That is a really good question! I, as an admitted pothead, would consider my needs to be varied but few. I use it to get to sleep, have a good time for very little money, zone out and just pass the time and sometimes just to zone out with enough pep to do chores all day. If I had evrything myway and I could grow as much as I want of whatever I needed, I would definitely put my first pick as a necessity and that would be the AI for my 'sleeping pill'. Next is just to have a good cheap time, and that Skunk #1 has it covered in spades! It is a very cheap strain (12.99GBP) that is claimed to produce well, has a great buzz and flavor, and can be extremely forgiving of beginners and their mistakes which adds a big neon "Grow ME!" sign on that strain as far as first picks go. Next I would go about securing something that would zone me out and give me enough motivation to do physical labor without being so strong that I forget to get things done, I would use the Power Skunk. I am not sure why I think it is so great, but with its heavy sativa lineage, it might have some good head effects, but it also apparently relaxes the body with the bit of indica that it does have. Also under the cheap fun category it would have to also be the Power Skunk you have there. It's, what, 75% Sativa which smacks of a cerebral experience and so 25-35% of my space would go to this. And finally just to zone out, I would expect none other than your White Widow. I know very little about it, other than it is a white strain and is, thus, extremely potent. I would dedicate at least 15-20% of my space to this. If you are careful with your doses you could spread its widely praised high into other use categories, but if you don't, you could just smoke your kneecaps off and fall asleep giggling. (A win/win!)
If you could only grow 3 different strains I would recommend you growing the larger portion as our 'business portion' by business, I mean whatever medicinal use you require. Business first! In my case, I would need adequate sleep first or else any amount or strain would put me to sleep long before I wanted to. I wouldn't mind having 50% of my space for heavy indicas, 25% of the space for Skunk#1 to just enjoy my time and the last 25% of usable floor space as room for the brightest most potent head high I could get. Once again, from your selections I would have to follow the herd of devotees and get the WW. It couldn't be that popular for nothing!
So to summarize, dedicate your largest amount f space to the mot useful of your available strains so you don't run out of your meds and keep your 'super bright' strain special by planting only a bit and keeping it relatively rare in your stash. This whole thing is just my opinion and you are more than welcome to as much of your favorites as you want. Good luck and please let me know what you decide to do! I would love to have a choice of smoke to match the mood and the course of the day.
Man I have like 3 days worth of herb left, if I police my portions enough, but I am 2 days from graduation and I have about 3 weeks before I begin my career job so its time to force those kneecaps to make a choice! Stand or Fall! Trying to sleep after that is going to suck, but I have almost nothing else to do, so there will be little damage done while I'm dry.
There will be pictures up later today as I have the computer now and pics have been just acumulating these last few days. The buds aren't getting longer anymore, now. With just a few of them reaching 3 inches or more, I am glad that I have so many buds. I have no trichs yet and I am not sure when they will arrive, but I am still hopeful. I know that my ventilation is fo crap and my temps would easily be the end of any goodness, so I am leaving my box flaps open to keep it aired out and cooled off. Take care and I will be checking on a few of your grows in just a bit!
Extra congrats to Mr. Bitti on the harvest of his phenomenal work! I still look forward to that yield!
