After many delays the plant babies

[berrypilot]

🌱 I can't wait to see them grow, they look great! 🌱

 

[IanHale]

And that plant of yours is beautiful

 

[berrypilot]

🌱 Thank you so much ^_^ 🌱

 

[IanHale]

I'm looking forward to seeing them grow as well. I had a fear that the tiny little seeds I got were duds...primarily from some poorly remembered misinformation from my teen years.

I remember fat tiger stripe seeds were the the most likely to grow in my totally ignorant youth.

my only regret is not have started this years ago.

🌱 Did you know that the tiger stripes on cannabis seeds are just part of a coating? All seeds come with stripes originally, but the coating can be rubbed off, and seeds are sort of tan underneath.

You are going to love growing so much! It seems like you're really on top of it and have a nice setup. I'm growing a plant in soil for the first time right now, and I miss how clean hydro is. I keep having to deal with bugs in soil I feel like my plants grew a lot faster in hydro, too! 🌱

My last grow (24 years ago) was in a walk-in closet with 8 10gal buckets and only one 600w hps.

My roommate and I made so many mistakes...but still smoked our meager headache inducing yield..ut of some sort of phyrric victory pride. The cat constantly finding it's way into the closet didn't help either.

i literally custom built this space specifically for this project. I could've gotten tents...but this way they're behind 2 locked doors.

🌱 Damn cats! I have one that tries to sneak leaves, too! 🌱

 

[IanHale]

My cat thankfully cannot access my workshop. Even if she could there is no way in for her. My intakes are filtered and I'd see her if she tried to come through the door.

The cat used the soil in our pots for something far worse and ph-imbalancing. The bathroom ugh

Sooooo cute with their little hats on!!! Much better than those pink and blue headbands some folks use on their babies!!

Or "Get Yr Freak On" by Missy Elliott; that's my inspiration...

hey berry I didn't know that about the seed coating . I grow in soil well coco but a friend grows in hydro I'm so jealous of how quick his plant grow ,then I hear some of the issues he seems to have and I just smile and thank the creator for growing in coco lol. try putting a layer of coco on top of the soil the bugs dont seem to like it .it may hepl I had knats once, put the sticky pads in and never had another problem. oh that is one smokin hot little lady you have there

 

[alltatup]

What a smart kitty, though: didn't do it in your shoe! ;-}

 

[oldjarhead100]

if I forget to close the door to my grow area I will find a turd in front of it just to let me know shes around lol, my bird on the other hand is a wicked pot thief loves her some bud. I had some duff drying in a tray above the computer and it started to rain pot she found it and decided to take a bath in it lol

 

[alltatup]

OJH that is too funny, wish you'd of snapped a picture!! I would love to see a parrot bathing in cannabis!!!

No Title

24 hours later CB1 and CB2 are doing well. PM1 and PM2 are right behind...but BN2 is racing past BN1 and WW1 and WW2 both have taproots but have not made it out of the rooters yet.

🌱 Let there be life! 🌱

 

[IanHale]

I had to split some of the rooters and seat the seeds and taproots a little lower. I'm loving the fact that Big Nugs #2 is already showing its first pair of serrated leaves.

No Title

72 hours after putting the seeds in.

CB1, CB2 and BN2 are rocking it. PM2 is strong. BN1 and PM1 are lagging. I think I either drowned the WW's or they just weren't good candidates.

Give 'em time... give 'em time.

 

[IanHale]

They have until the first reservoir change to show more life.

Two more days. I have more seeds BUT I started with 8 and reducing to 4 by week 3
