Indoor Squid's Second Grow-Duurty Dragon, Diesel Ryder & MI5

Hey Squid - i'm sub'd too. I've got two DDs that hit the dirt yesterday so i'll be eager to watch your progress and compare to my feeble attempt...only my second auto grow so i still working on my skills. Cheers
 
Thanks everyone! :smokebuds: I really appreciate all of your responses and time that you take to stop by. I really hope this is a good one, fuck it, it is going to be a good one. :D

@Nelson> I also have Diesel Ryder regular beans and one fem AA. haha. I have been thinking since yesterday about soaking another bean in case that last MI5 doesn't come up. I have so much to choose from and I kinda wanted to keep it simple with just the two different strains. Hell, I dunno what I'll do. I don't wanna use one of my fem seeds and then end up with a good ratio of females from the others and not have enough space for them all. I need to end up with no more five females. I'd hate to have to terminate a lady :D
 
It is about time for a pole where we find out who votes for what favorite seed. I think all four we have been talking about whould be in the pole for sure. Maybe others will ship in their favorites but I won't do it on your grow thread. Ha ha

Yeah, that would be cool to get that started, but yes, not here. haha And those four would be on there for sure. DD AA DR MI5 rule.

Small update here folks. Gonna have the above list on all official updates just to cut out a lot of the basic questions.

So we are on what I am going to call Day Two for all of them.

The one MI5 still hasn't shown, I am kinda thinking it won't, no worries though that's why I started nine total beans. The other three MI5 look great, though.

Four out of five of the baby duurty dragons are looking great! But one looks to have very undeveloped cotyledons and hasn't grown since it barely popped soil. Almost looks like the leaves were stuck together and didn't open, but they did, it's kinda like a double match head thing going on here, and it looks kinda withered and burned out. Not too worried though, again, that's why I started more than needed because of things like this and male:female ratios.

Just for the hell of it though, I did drop two Diesel Ryder beans into water last night. The friend I got them from says they are about 3+ years old and that they are just fine, but I might have low germ rates, no biggie. So we'll see how those develop, if they both pop I will most likely pull the non germed MI5 and crappy DD seedling out and replace them with the two DRs. I wanted to keep it simple and only do two different strains, but I just couldn't help. Plus, since these DR beans are a wee bit old, I wanna get some use out of them before it's too late. If they join the party, I will amend the thread name to include Diesel Ryder in my grow.

I checked all 7 out of 9 of the great growing seedlings and the tap roots are already at the bottom of all the 18 oz cup after only twp days. Badass :dance2:
I have been misting a little ph water and feeding small spoonfuls of water a couple times a day or when needed. That Tek lamp is warmer than standard T5s so they dry out kinda quickly.

Question: Since all the tap roots have already reached the bottom, should I go ahead and water the whole cup, or just keep it light for now?

Thanks everyone!

I would keep it light for now, you want those roots to search for the water alittle, it will encourage root growth. Im glad to hear about how fast they are moving, good sign for more to come :)

and you cant go wrong with Diesel Ryder by the sounds of it so I wouldnt be too hard on yourself haha :-)
 
haha. Right? I figured 'hey there self, why not? You've got em, grow em!' This is why I am not worried about the ones that may or may not make it, and hell even if the two DRs don't germ I got more. I'll just end up having a couple plants a week behind but that's no big deal. When they wake up at four I will post a couple pics of the babies and the one that isn't doing well.

Yes, you're probably right about the light watering. I figured that, especially since they had already grown that much of the tap root with just a little water. Just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks for stopping by Gandolph. :smokebuds:
 
Nice one squid! Thats a clean setup.

I just pinched a bud of Mi5 from the plant I got going and had a try.. You wont be disappointed :bong:
 
Thanks zaQ. I have been scoping those smoke reports out I am ready already, haha. Cool fish as your custom title, by the way:thumbs:
 
Hey squiddy, just found this. You're gonna love those MI5s, a real rewarding grow!
