Indoor RRF seed run

[Danny Tanner]

Hey guys this won't really be a full on journal but just a photo documentation of what has been growing with some small comments here or there.

I have to run but, i'll be posting the photos in a couple of hours when my errands are done.

Edit: it started raining again so, i have a moment to upload some pics. we'll see how far down the chronology i get before i have to go =)

The sad looking babies are due to being a complete and utter noob with soiless medium. My coco was not ph'ed properly because all I did was add water and wash out the dust. I figured if i watered it with ph'ed water it would be okay WRONG! I had to do an emergency transplant into an organic soil mix i had prepped for non MJ purposes. thank goodness i had that going on the side or the last of my RRF seed stock would of been wasted.

They look healthy in week 1 but, you will see what I am talking about in the next post. You can actually some of the lookout/stress beginning to occur in the last two pics in this post

If I had named these two plants they would of been named Sad and Frumpy. Because as you can see they were very stressed out by my noob soil mixing. Although, if you notice in the last pics, they are transplanted into soil outdoors and putting out healthy leaves on the top nodes. Lesson learned! Moving on...

August was a difficult month for me. I had so much going on and plus lots of family staying with me so, I had to make these plants scarce. At this point however, they were both clearly sexed and I had 1 male and 1 female. Lucky me since I royally fucked up my first few attempts to germ my RRF's. Did I mention this was my first growing season yet? I supercropped the male down to nearly the base because of all the stress that had occurred. I needed more time to let that female grow into a respectable size before i started unleashing pollen on her. It paid off and the male shot up so fast it was surreal to watch. Unfortunatly, my photos will not represent that very well because of the lack of photo ops i had.

Since those last pics at the beginning of august, I have cut down the male and seeded the female. I have already collected at least 40 A grade seeds and about 15 B grades. I currently have an assortment of A's and B's germing in a baggy to get a rough idea of what my germ rate will be moving forward. I will be growing inside from now on as everything I have read points to bigger/better buds indoors under long light periods.

I just won a battle with brown spider mites and you can see some of the dotting still on the leaves from those little fuckers. They are gone now. 25ML's of azamax later though =( it's a very effective nuclear option imo

I dont know when harvest will be. I will be just watching trichome coloring with my scope and going off of that. Outdoors definatly takes a shit ton more time with these things than what it says on the banks site but, i was expecting that since the photo period is alot less than what most folks would run indoors. Here is todays pics which are the first I have taken since August. She is beefing up very quickly now.

Edit: sorry about the cala lily in the background. that kinda makes it hard to see the true outline. i'll post better pics later on today when the light is better and it is not raining like it is right now.

Danny may I ask what all went into t coco mix u made ......I did a plain mix my self COCO and 2 compost from Biomax and was all Ph 7.0 I had to add sulphur to take her down ...and had bro keep taking her down at about 21 days ....plants look great and I do have. To say her smoke was delicious best I ever tasted but she was very small and produced 10 gs ....I gotta better fell for it now so I will use it again except I added some sulphur and I will use a feed meal mixed in with a lil peat moss this time to help hold it down a Tad ....I love what I tasted but learned a few ammendments here and there .....if u can make some adjustments with peat u will have better success ....I used Sphagnum Peat since I have some for my BLUEBERY and Raspberries outside ....


Roots Organic has a great coco soilless that has a warrior of Microbes added ...but u will need to add lime and water for 3 weeks thenstart feeding slowly.!!

actually i was not remembering my soil mix correctly. i did use coco but, i tried burpees coco soil starter mix from one of the big box stores straight out of the bag. it was far too alkaline from what i figured out. i recently began putting together a grow closet setup and i bought a brick of compressed coco. i was in the process of starting up a photo grow (darkstars) and i had to cut that short as i had family aggro about the grow. so, my dark stars got tossed because it wasnt worth the shit storm that was brewing due to it. anyways, my current coco setup is pretty straight forward. i use 50/50 coco perlite with about 2 measured cups of Wiggle Worm's worm castings. which is by far the purest high grade casting i have seen available in my area so far. the stuff i was getting before looked like soil but this stuff is just little black granular casting which tells me it's darn close to pure worm shit =) this is what i'm going to stick with and all my ph balancing is done through a pre flush of the mixture using ph'ed water to get it to the right point.

I am using gen hydro maxi line of nutrients this time around and all the suggested liquid supplements they prescribed on their feeding schedules that are available through their website. I had a ph problem due to the noob attempts at making the stuff last time and had to flush heavily 2 weeks into growing on the darkstars. i just got them where they needed to be at about a 6-5.8 ph but, then i had to throw it out and pack up the grow to appease some folks. i am pretty confident i have the ph range for growing in coco hydroponically down now and this next indoors attempt i have a feeling is going to be much smoother than my last on many different levels.

wow, this went from being a photo journal to a full on report pretty fast didnt it! i don't mind i am stoked to be growing at all right now given the drama august was

Edit: no worries about the name change. the last thing i want to do is get anyone pinched. sorry about that

Tehran man My coco Biomax was very taste full bro I just fucked up thegrow by topping or super cropping ....my cobras and a feelgooddd are just popping heads and seem to love it better In there compared to my regular compost .....shit makes some very clean smoke .....I have a few threads around so I have to say my next grow show be 10times better

My seed run was a success! I have harvested more than 1k seeds. The plant has been chopped, dried, cured and smoked. That did not take too long did it? Lol

Anyways, even being stunted, stressed seed run bud. It was still out of this world.

I have begun a photoperiod grow while i wait for these seeds to dry out. then i will be beginning a RRF hydroponic SCroG!

I have 1 bud pic i'll be posting at some point soon. nothing else really merited being uploaded on this run
