Whats up @Ripped In Oregon ,I wasnt sure if i PM'd you,Ive been having such bad luck lately..im pissed about it..i have lost damn 6 seeds that didnt germ/sprout,including the crystal meth and PE,I had not changed anything so it didnt make any sense.after the last batch I changed the way i was germing and im back at full strength,It wasnt that they werent cracking/popping,they wouldnt sprout!!!..Ill be following along,but we will have to co-journal at another time..peace bro !!
 
Hey @budelee I was looking for a PM so I figured you were tied up. I know I have been super busy helping a friend trim his outdoor and I had to build a quick greenhouse to protect my outdoor GSC so I have not even kept up on this but I will. I have to update the thread by keeping it current.That's weird that you lost that many seeds and that they wouldn't sprout I would think one but not all six,whatever happened was something intense stuff to mess with all of them. I was wondering why you had not hopped in but no worries we can co grow in the future for sure. I am glad you got back on track and are rolling again bro. I just added 4 DP Brooklyn Sunrise's,2 White Widow Diesel Haze and 1Dinafem Blue Critical. The PE and the Crystal Meth will finish around the 29th of this month give or take. So anytime after that so I have the room. The top photo is the PE she is only 16 inches and the CM on the bottom is 20 inches.I didn't think they could be this small but it makes it interesting. The CM looked like it was in flower from the get go,I wished I had took photos but I really like them they are cool plants. They are both getting 1/2 strength nutes and Cal Mag 5ml and silica 5 ml every other watering. I think they will still put some good smoke also it will give me a variety instead of smoking a half pound of the same strain. These are at day 37.

Sorry for the horrible photos but they are from my crappy phone camera and I suck at photography:biggrin: I am using LED's for the first time on that side of the tent so the smaller stature plants help being that I only have two Mars 300 but they take cover what they need to.

Thats awesme news for you,yaaaaa...the thing about my seeds is not all were lost at the same time .I lost two auto mazar that was supposed to be a mainline competition withing three weeks,the two fast bud seeds,one dinafem,one bomb seeds.i don't know what caused it.i received 5 skywalker kish seeds,changed my method and all 5 are up,i got in the photo plant contest at ppn and have that seed growing too,its in a 2 litte bottle,what seeds you have now??
 
I have 4 DP Brooklyn Sunrise,2 White Widow Diesel Haze from White Label Seeds and 1 Dinafem Blue Critical and the 2 in this journal. I also have 4 photo fem White Widow that will be grown after our co journal. Nice I am glad you got your germinating on the right track. Sucks you lost those 2 plants how did that happen? I have always gone right into the soil and have had a 98 percent success rate and the three I lost were my fault by being impatient and digging around.Cool you are in the 2 liter bottle contest what are you growing? You are racking up the contest seeds:worship:Talk to you son Peace.
 
For the photo contest I have a chemdog,its about 8 days old now,i seen rhe competition and its fierce..i got a late start but the flip is on oct 20.. Heres a few plants i toped and lst'd to stay low

8 days
 
Nice I love the rack. Yours are about at the same time frame mine are day 39 today. Nice big plant,I like the shape of that.I hope you win the comp bro,I know you will place high in the rankings. Good looking seedling for 8 days and a nice long stalk to make the bend. I would imagine you are going to tie this one down also? I will have to go over to PPN and check it out. Check it out we were talking about the germinating well my percentage just went up. I thought I screwed up 3 seeds and replace them in the soil and those decided the wanted to sprout. So now I have 3 pots with 2 choices each. Mother Nature gotta love her.
 
Today is week 7 day 44. They both just had 2 and a half liters of water with Cal Mag and Silica 5 ml of each. The next feeding will be on Wed and they will get a 25 percent bump in nutrients until the last week and the Cal mag and silica will be removed as it won't be needed. At first I thought I wouldn't like the smaller plants but these are the perfect size the pine apple is 16 inches and the Crystal Meth is 21 inches so they are under the average I would imagine but they are cool looking and the quality will be there even if the quantity isn't. I grow for myself and it is my time to get stoned and put on some good rock or metal and check the garden out. It took a year but I finally am able to grow multiple strains at once and that is what my goal was and now it is just to get better and start learning some new techniques. These were given bloom nutes from week 2 because I use a 3 part mix and I just brain farted so by the time I realized it I figured what the hell lets ride with it and see what happens. The Crystal Meth has a very interesting smell. The Pineapple is a stinky little shit,smells just like Pineapple,should be some good wake and bake.

Looks like I have some Nitrogen toxicity on that Crystal Meth. I am pretty sure I didn't give it enough in veg state I should have known because it is right there on the Fast Buds sight that this strain likes extra nutes and I was only going half. Just inexperience I learned and move on it will be fine as I am close enough to the end but I will have to adjust the nutes from here on out for the CM. The temps have been weird here and I am in a tent twice the size with triple the girls so the heat didn't help just makes it worse. This grow will be a nice way to end the year.
 
These are at week 8 and there is some good growth going on,it looks like they will finish in that 9 week frame. Fast Buds is right on with their timelines. Nutrients bumped up to full dose for the last few feeds,next week is a flush. temps are around 81 -85 much higher than I like but you gotta run with it,no major signs of stress . I may let the Express go another few days but we will see on that one.
