Useful Seeds

Scanning through this thread I can see my plants are definitely not growing properly. I'll start a thread on it so as to not hijack this one, but curious how many days you guys are running vegetative for with these Useful seeds? Some of those outdoor plants are enormous. Are they started indoors before hand to get a head start?

Anyone grow chem d x chocolate diesel or just chocolate diesel? I have one of each at eight and a half weeks of flower and I'm getting antsy. About half the hairs are brown and curling in. I'm having trouble getting a good view of the trichomes. One minute I'm sure they are completely cloudy the next I'm sure at least half are still clear. Very few amber on the calyxes , but the sugar leaves are starting to get heavily amber.

That one was in a hempy bucket (perlite/vermiculite) and just some GH nutes... no flush. I do most of my pheno hunts this way.
Getting ready to do my first hempy, I think this will be my last method that I haven’t tried yet. Didn’t go full organic either but close, real close. Also will be using GH nutes, Blueberries n Chocolate. I really like using different methods, pot sizes, pot materials, etc... it helps me keep my mind busy. Gotta stay on my toes. Lol. I have a Blueberries n Chocolate in soil right now getting ready to flip, it will be fun to see the two side by side, even though they could be totally different plants from one another.

Any chances we'll see some more Banana OG crosses? I missed out on that Banana OG S1 since I wasn't growing when you released those, but I'd love to try out some Banana OG
Yep, I have more Bananas n Oranges cookin as I type this. Other ideas as well
Hey hey everyone, sorry about the sudden disappearance; the fires in CA got me and I just now have gotten back on my feet so to speak. Hopefully, sometime in the next few months ill be able to start posting pics again and be up and running! @Useful Seeds, where can I find some of your box combos; are you still doing those?

Hempy pots are amazing !!! Passive hydro, but just like hydro ya gotta keep the rez temp low. I used to grow hempy style in 1.5 gallon waste baskets that I got from the dollar store for $1.00. I ran em with hydroton on the bottom, coco on top.Yeah, this was grown in a 1.5 gallon hempy.

Did you ever do a Chocolate Dipped Banana? The couple crosses that I have grown with Banana Og were fire! I would definitely be in for Banana Og x Chocolate Diesel or Chocolate Diesel x Banana Og, or both. Lol. The Chocolate Dipped Banana comes from my youth, poor persons fruit popsicle. It was like a treat once or twice a year. Does anybody still make these for their kids? Or yourself. Lol.

You a mind reader???? LOL. I was talkin with my wife about this very subject !!!! This is crazy. We are expecting another grandchild and were talking about various treats that we used to make with our children. The chocolate dipped banana's was one of them. We love them. I also was thinking about that EXACT cross because of it. I'm gonna do it for sure.....as a matter of fact....gonna put a Banana OG into flower in the next couple of weeks for this lil venture.

Just got Rapid Rooters delivered today. Do you keep a 1/4" liquid at the bottom like it says on the package? Dunk it first in water? Sorry for the questions, just don't want to kill any more seeds! ;)

Thanks everyone for all the help! I'm feeling much better about my chances of getting plants out of the seeds I have left.
I soak in water than squeeze it out firmly but not completely. (90%) Pop in seed and put in sealed baggie until they pop. When they pop I open top of baggie for nice air exchange. When they start to dry I take out, dip the bottom half of the rooter in water briefly and put it back in baggie. Rooters are great but you can get them too wet easy. Less is more. The outsides (top) starts to get hard/firm when they start to get too dry.
