[Vapo]

Hello everyone ...as the title suggests I have begun the grow and I am in the period I refer to as "The Soak!"(same as everyone )has started.....24 little hours and they will be ready for the next stage......which the title more accurately describes, is into the Coco.. I wrote this while high?....but until then let me bring you up date with what I have done so far....I took the seeds out of the vault, one of each strain and left them to normalize in a room temperature ......room, for roughly an hour......at the same time I poured roughly 10-20ml of tap water(each!)in the small plastic cups and left that to get to room temperature too....marked the cups and then put the seeds in...here are some pics....

Hello AFN and my fellow grow and show-ers....today I planted the Trichomes and Cream and Mimosa Punch...

...I picked up the pipette I use for seed placement...I just cut the end off, you can see the seed inside it in the pic below....

Popped the seed into the shallow hole I had dug...and covered her over, then just put 2 pieces of cellophane over with an I.D stake and voila....

..I repeated the same process for the Mimosa...

...below is a pic of a straightened up seed, just befor I cover her over...

..and both before they entered the tent...

...I rinsed the Coco through with 3 ltr of water for each pot before dropping the seed in, with Calmag and Neutalise added and the water at Ph6.
Then until they breach, I will be just dropping tapwater out of a pipette, from about 6 inches above daily....my way of simulating rainfall

...watch out for more updates soon

Hello AFN.......This happened yesterday morning hehe....but then I went and had a celebration joint .......and I just became sober....so....hehe....I didn't even get to rain upon these gals ..must have done it just right......I put the looped stakes so I don't wash them away with the first few feeds....they got the following feed:
Ecothrive neutralise...1 drop per ltr
Dutch Pro grow A+B:....3 ml per ltr
Dutch Pro multi Total:...2 ml per ltr
Dutch Pro take root:...1 ml per ltr...
...and I made 2 ltr each but I didn't use it all, just a bit left tho gave them a good soaking...

....see you all soon.....

Hello everyone...it is now officially the Mimosa Punch who is ahead, perhaps bcoz the Trichomes and Cream spent a wee bit more time going up......both doing well...no feed today...wk 2 starts today....btw I judge the MP in first place bcoz I see leaf separation...

Hello everyone....it is done and photos are uploaded......so without further ado.....
Mimosa Punch first...this is what she looked like at the start...

1st node gone...

2nd node gone ..

I know I work quickly so here it is again...
How I started with the Trichomes and Cream...

First node gone...

Second one gone....

...and it's off with her head...

..gave them a good feed after and now it's down to them...I will be keeping a very close eye on these gals for a few days...they can move surprisingly quick, when they are threatened... happy growing everyone

Hello everyone...my ladies, Trichomes and Cream and Mimosa Punch, got their first ties today...not a massive bit of news but an important one...

 

[Vapo]

Hello everyone...day 24 for these gals and both look great, I took 2 leaves from each(see pics!)the leaves that shade the rapido growing new heads..I leave a bit of stalk on them, as it stops the hooks riding over ...

Hey AFN....I took 2 leaves from each lady today...
Not much of a change to them...but I am posting nearly every day....so it won't look like it bwahahahah...

Hello AFN... yesterday I happened across a snap on the Mimosa Punch I think(?)...as usual I panicked and taped it up asap, so I forgot to take a pic of the snap.....she was just hanging on by a thread...but the way I grow puts them under tremendous pressure and sometimes they snap afterwards....its an occupational hazard...I think I am just gonna let them go up now...wk 6 began today

....I forgot to say, that she didn't seem to feel the snap at all......go Mimosa Punch

Hello AFN....wk7 is mostly over and these ladies have already filled back out after I stripped them down, the middle tips have grown up and and are starting to form a nice canopy on both, I won't touch them until the end of the week when they will get the last big strip down....

Have a great day everyone
