Shit, can't remember the name and not at home. Its the cheap stuff form my local nursery. $5 for a big ass box and blows sunleaves out of the water in my opinion. Will have to get back to you with this.

Yeah, let us know the name of this stuff in a big ass box for $5. Cheap stuff does not necessarily mean it is no good, a deal on the cost works for me. I want whatever works best or just as good, when I have to pay out I will, but if I don't have to, show me the bargins. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Hey with that tri-node plant i would definitely clone it and see if you get tri node plants from the clones, if you do then you could use that to preserve the tri node trait

I have great sucess with this method:
Scrape the outside of the seed with a serrated knife or sand paper. Fold between a wet paper tower with all of the seeds pointing the same way. Fold that into aluminum foil and place in a warm area (i put in my veg box) on its side so that all of the seeds are pointed in the correct direction. This really helps maintain straight root tips.
Thanks for dropping by!
Out of curiosity, why do you scrape the outside of the seed? Is there a coating like shell on the seed?

Yum bat nuggets
I top dress with this at the begginning of veg and also water with it. I pack a bunch into this bottle, top off with water, and bubble the shit out of it for a few days.
Glad to have you along. Chocolope is one of my favorite smokes and when I learned that it is a decent yielder and easy to grow I just had to try it out. Can't wait eitherHey man subbed +rep. Always wanted to grow chocolope lol, i have many user names named after the strain haha. But looks amazing cant wait to see em in flower. One Love!
The trinode might be a dud. Its creating more leaves but they arn't growing out. Going to keep it going just to make sure but unfortunately don't have high hopes.
Sativas annd Indicas are annual and thus create a waxy layer on the outside of the seed to keep water out. The thought is that this will prevent it from germinating right after being dropped but instead wait till the next year after it has been scraped up and toumbled around a bit.
By scraping the seeds I encourage more moisture to enter the seeds outer coat which is one of the triggers for the micropile (a small hole) to open up allowing additional water to enter which starts the
germination process.
Widened my side lighting and put the rest of the plants into the tent. Here is a picture of the super simple irrigation system i'll be testing.

Switched my hoops for sprinkler heads. Pump isn't strong enough to really form a spray but they work great as drippers. Two older ones are really starting to bush out.
Tops look funny as hell due to the fimming - You can tell there will be several tops but at this point they are really struggling with eachother for space. Can't wait to see them all emerge.

Yeah this is my first time so I'll let you know how it goes. I've accidentally topped, a bit of LST, and super cropped with great success so see no reason this technique should be any different.Looking beautiful, I can't wait ti FIM
I've used soil over before on different grows but at my current location have had problems with bugs and no longer reuse it indoors (I prefer not to reuse without giving it an outdoor rest). All spent soil goes into my compost and helps amend my outdoor veggie garden. If I didn't have a veggie garden I would most likely rinse real well and reuse.
/edit - Right now I am just testing the drip system out in case I need to leave town. It seems as though 5 minutes put out just under 2 liters to the big plants and 1 liter to the smaller plants. This is rigged to a 7 day timer capable of 1 min on and 1 min off increments.

Just curious what are your temps? Ive also FIMed with a bagseed in my current grow. It was a tall sativa dom and she had 6 tops after I had FIMed it. But unfortunately it turned out to be a male so I chopped his ass. I plan do FIM one of my girls the next time around just for shits lol. Drip system looks dope.

My outdoor temps are super low so for most of this it has been around 60 indoors. I think I hit a low of 45 when the power went out. I recently rerouted the light exhaust back into the tent and now temps are steady at 68. Humidity around 60%

Soaking 4 3gal smart pots for transplant later this week. These have been drenched in guano tea with cal mag and superthrive.
Ran my drip today and it seems to work fine. DOesn't distribute the solution perfectly so I will be watering by hand when around and using the drip when away.
Here's todays group shot:
These show distance to light for the two larger plants - 5 and 6". I'm wondering if I would be doing better with it further away, I hear the lumens crown a distance from the bulb.
I love both of these strains - the white russian is always perfect shaped super serrated and this vet seed is always super club like and darker. Almost looks like berry leaves. The vet strain tends to herm on be but is an amazing smoke and super pretty bud so hopefully I have luck this go around.

Yup. I put it into my lizard cage and he burried it. Too morbid I guess.
Beautiful plant but that one worries me. I swear the fastest growing are always males. Last grow I fed my W. Russian too much nitrogen - someone remind me not to make the same mistake this go around.
/edit I need to pick 4 toput into smart pots. I'm thinking the fem chocolope, the W Russian, the Vet seed and the best looking Spider goo. Which Goo you guys think looks best?
