Indoor Zambesa problem strains

[stepside]

How many days did you germinate the seeds ?

We would recommend planting the seedling to the final container to avoid tranplanting autoflowering strains, if you do, sometimes they might stress and lose some of their growth energy for rootzone development or to early flower production which results in not growing into its fullest potential. We recommend doing it in temperature of around 20-22C.

It took 4 days for them to crack and produce small tails.. i almost always transplant my seedlings to avoid wasted space. My tent averages 79-81° and the humidity in this specific tent is a steady 55%

Thanks for the detailed response above @zambesa

We absolutely respect every single choice of each grower, but you need to also respect and understand the underlying biological mechanisms, we are not trying to convince anyone, just simply presenting how biology works.
Temperature and humidity seems to be within the acceptable limits. For the final stage of flowering you might want to consider lowering humidity to 40-50%. As for temperature you do not want to go above 28C

Thanks for the information.

I will keep documenting what i do, they are healthy( except for the mutated leaf JTR), just seem a bit behind a normal pace.. I will update their progress weekly

That would be really helpful if you can make notes and pictures in as much details as possible. It is always easier later to analyze what is happening. You are one of the people who encountered no problems so your results are very interesting for us as well, hopefully they will help us understand what happened.

Will do!!

I soak my seeds for 12-24 hours in ph'd ( 6.8 ) RO water with 90 ppms of cal mag. temps are kept to 75F (23.8 C ). I then plant in 24 ounce containers or 1 quart pots of organic soil. I've used this technique with 99% sucess for 3 years now. I add nothing to the water and I use organic soil in my pots. The mix is 1/3 FoxFarm Ocean Forest, 1/3 compost, 1/3 coco coir. Tbsp. dolomite lime per gallon of soil. All my soil is composted for 30 days before use

These started and grown in the same soil batch and growing under the same light in the same cabinet the Green Monster was in.

Can you tell us more how did you germinate the seeds ?

Some of the people claimed problems with germination of the seeds, we noticed people utilised different techniques, conditions, times and even supplementary products and soils. All these factors should be taken into consideration while germinating the seeds. We do the germination tests in humid paper towels, placed in dark place for 3-7 days in temperature of 20-22C. These are the optimal conditions for germinating Cannabis seeds. We do not recommend germinating seeds directly in the soil or your own "super soil" mixes. A germination test performed in the paper towel give you an option to control what is happening with the seed and evaluate the germination properly, while in the soil it might be problematic.

Some of the users encountered trouble, others came out with 100% success rate. This is why we usually advice a universal germination technique which is used in the laboratories.


As for the Green Monster Plant - The plant might have not developed very fast due to delicate source of light you have used (50W ? correct me if im wrong). Transplanting autoflowering plants is best avoided, in some occasions it might stun the growth and limit their final size. Eventhough autoflowering strain contain the ruderalis genetics within the line to make them independent from the day lenght, it might happen that few seeds do not receive ruderalis genes in portion big enough to induce the autoflowering reaction. In theory the seed you had might also develop into what we call "Fast Flowering" version of the strain, in this case it might require the switch do 12h day to induce the flower production. If that is the case the plant should finish the blooming cycle significantly faster. We encourage you to try to induce flowering in this plant by switching it to short day if it is possible for you. If this solution does is not working for you, we can offer you a replacement seed from the same strain to ensure you have one more attempt at this one. In this case it might be occurance of this sort, we observe these plants not more often than 1/1000.

When did you switch the light to 12/12 on the green monster plant ? how many days ago ? if it is a genetic mix between feminised and autoflowering, they still need a shorter day to induce flower production, in this case you should count flowering time as from the change of light.

10 out of 12 of your seeds never germinated. I can see 1 or 2, but not 10! there is no grower error here. Either the seeds were damaged in transit, or you sent us a bad batch, there is no other explanation that would make senses considering these problems are spread out across multiple growers. Apply Occam's Razor

I grew Jack the Ripper the first seed did not sprout.. planted a second and it sprouted and was yellowish and died. The third one was doing great aside from not being very big.. then one day during feed I noticed ball sacks all over her.. she hermied so I killed her.. I used up all three seeds I had of this strain.

the plant in the rear is a momma, been in that pot since Sept. lol
