New round of Aurora Indica from Nirvana :cool:

When they took mine, I still got my packaging in a normalish amount of time, it had the official customs seal on it, plus a note from customs. Seedsman was good about re-sending it, they just asked me for a picture of the packaging and customs note. Of course be smarter than me, and have the re-ship sent to a different address, cause then they will start to watch that address, of course.
 
Thanks man!

Glad to be back! :)

I've talked it over with my better half, and she wanted me to play it safe. So we're going with Nirvana when this grow is in the bag. I usually clean everything and all that before I order new ones. Just in case they're stopped by the customs and the Police calls. They can't prove anything if there's no evidence to point at ;)

And yes, I'll use the Molasses more for this grow now that I'm not using Molasses based nutrients.
But the Neem oil I'm not to sure about. We don't really have bugs in the same amount/variety you have in the states. And it's October so it's too cold for bugs anyway. But I'll keep it handy just in case.

Now I'll just have to figure out what strains I'm going to buy next. I've got an idea, but I like to really think these things through before buying.

I'm using my weed partly as a remedy for anxiety and quality of sleep, and sometimes for my muscles and joints. But also for junk food and Netflix, hehe!

And thanks again! This grow will be awesome!

Ouch! That right there would be a nightmare..

But it actually makes my choice even easier.

What are you going to do now? What are the repercussions for having you seeds stopped?
 
Not really any repercussions, usually. I grow in a legal state, and from what I know, they don't really have much budget for an increasingly unpopular "war on drugs". Least that's my hope, no problems so far.
I started ordering from inside the country, New420guy.com Great prices, got hear fast, and the folks that I have heard from on hear, are really happy with the results, have to wait till spring to plant mine, though. Not sure about stealth shipping options, mine weren't shipped stealth, but maybe he does something for over seas shipping? Really have no idea.

"Happened to me one time. They confiscate the seeds, and that is the end of the story. No legal action against you is taken. Not sure if this is a random search and seizure or if your name and address are added to a data base. I have since changed my name, and delivery address just in case. I have multiple properties so that was easy for me. Have your replacements sent to a friend's address. Good luck with the Federales!"

 
I will have the resend sent to yet a third name, and address. Fuck those customs pirates! They have zero credibility!

I see. Well.. most NA based businesses won't ship to a larger portion of Europe. So my best bet will be to order from EU I guess. Free shipping and all you know. The best is of course to order from a country not associated with cannabis, but that is hard and often expensive as well.
 
Wow! I've heard about customs "nuking" seeds, but didn't believe it was real. Over here they just confiscate them and hand your name over to the Police. But with no actual evidence you ordered and payed for the seeds, they can't do shit.

They can keep an eye on you and come on a surprise visit later on, busting you in the middle of a grow. But they usually don't since resources have to be spent on killers, terrorists, rapists and trafficking. Which makes sense.

I would be really worried about our legal system if they prioritized a normal law-abiding citizen, growing a few plants a year for private consumption, over a ISIS supporting gangbanger with blood on his hands. Then I would move to Canada. But for now we're good.
 
They won't give you your money back either? Must be some other seed bank trading all the big brands? I remember a place called "Attitude Seedbank", but I believe they're the same type of place as Seedsman.

There's also "I love growing marijuana". I believe they're selling loads of different strains from different breeders, but they're way more expensive than Nirvana. But worth a shot if you're able to get you money back?
 
I noticed on the Seedsman web site that they now give an address in Spain. I am certain they used to be located in Britain. I wonder if they were being surveilled, and had to move out of country? All of the packets I previously received were postmarked Britain.

I will say that Seedsman has sent me a few emails about re-shipping. I asked that they just credit my account for a few weeks. And I will get them some other shipping info
 
"I will be there as soon as I can! You have to give me a more specific location, you are a big country. You are the kindest country in the world. You are like a really nice apartment over a meth lab." - Robin Williams

What on earth did he mean by that? That Canada has some real problems with hardcore drugs, or that all the neighbors are toothless white dudes? :P
 
It could very well be that a major crack down has taken place specifically with Seedsman.

Good morning everybody!

The weekend is upon us (soon) and I'll be participating a Halloween party on Saturday, so I'll be busy and all.

That is why I figured I would post a small update now, just to show how it's going. And then post another update next week, that way we can keep track on progress.

Nothing much has happened since last update. She has grown a little, and looks fairly happy.
She did "bend" or stretch to the side yesterday, and I thought it might have been because of the light? Its a 200W CFL bulb, and a tad to strong for the little one on close range?
I moved the bulb further up late last night, and she looked a little straighter today, so it might have been it?

The bulb is about 15-16cm (6 inches) above the plant now. That should be good right?

Anyways.. this little one has a deep purple color already. Much more vibrant purple than I've ever seen earlier. It might be because of the extra good soil, or that I got one of the true purple pheno I've read about?

The pictures don't do her justice, and I'll switch camera in the future. Just found a Olympus E520 (digital reflex camera) with a lens hidden in the weardrobe, no battery or charger though, so I ordered a new set from ebay. Should be here in a week or two. So until then we'll just have to make due with my mobile camera.

You can't really tell by the pictures, but the two leaves she already got, and the two tiny new ones starting to form, are all purple. Looking forward to see how she develops.

The conditions are good inside the tent as of now. Got a little hot last night (31C/88F) and a humidity of 55%. But that was my fault for keeping it so toasty in the living room.
Today it looks much better.

25.10.18 #4.jpg


It's a little hard to keep a stable humidity here at this time of the year. It only gets dryer and dryer as we close in on the winter. And by Christmas it can go all the way down to 30% humidity, and I would need a pretty beast humidifier to counter that. So I'll do my best by making sure the one I'm using now is on most of the day. But 55% in the morning is not that bad. Usually I manage to keep it around 60% most of the time.

I gave her a proper dosage of water for the first time yesterday. And by proper I mean a larger dosage than last time, and enough for a few drops to run off. The water was pH-regulated to 6,5 and mixed with Bioworm (worm castings) for better root growth and health of the plant. And I'll just let her be like that until it's dry, then I will measure the weight of the pot on a scale before watering again.

That was my little update for today.

Hope you're all having a good one.

Peace!

Hey Buddy,
Glad she's commin' along and growin good for ya!
Be careful not to over water though, the best growers I see tend to give seedlings just a little bit of water at a time, even just a tablespoon! Then let them dry back out, like you said. Obviously, don't let her dry out to a crisp, but don't want to water to run off with when that small a plant.
Also, if the Nutes that you will be using are completly organic, with no chemical salts, you don't want to water to runoff, since you would end up rinsing out all the good stuff from your soil. Now, if they do have fertilizer salts in them, then definitely want some runoff, so the salts don't build up and harm your plant.

That dry air would be so awesome for flowering though! Kinda jelous this fall, went from a dry summer, to wet, now I got to fight the gray mold, and some powdery mildew at harvest, ( YUCK!!)

I Got nuthin on the purple, hopefully one of the more experienced folks knows??.....

When it's time to re-pot, put her darn near up to her leaves in soil, and that little bit of extra stem will grow more feeder roots for her.

Happy holiday!

GH
 
Thanks man!

I only watered her enough for tiny drop to run through (1ml of runoff) just so that the soil got moist. And it was just enough for me to measure the pH. The soil came out of the bag dry, and I figured adding some water would help activate the microbes etc in there, or at least protect the tiny roots.

But I'll keep off the water from now on. At least wait for the pot to dry up.

And I'll remember the cover more of the stem technique. That shit was smart!
 
Cocho, excellent advice from GreenhouseEffect, above, especially the part about the small amount of water to use,those young roots don't like sittin in water, they can't breathe, You want them young roots look in for water, makes em stronger,imo
Maybe you got a real purple strain, although I've had plenty of them have purple looking stems, that the buds never turned purple though.
Looking nice to me, what kind of plant is she?

Sounds to me like you know what your doing,

so keep up the good job !!
Damn, I don't know wtf, happened there, with Al the spaces,lol my fault I'm sure.
But I ain't never used a 200watt cfl, just 23watt cfls, but you want it close as you can get it without hurting your plant.
On seedlings I keep the 23watt about no further than 2inches away, if your light don't burn your hand at 2-3inches away, that's where I'd put it, in a couple more days, she will be ready for putting it close by then.

DAAS69, Cocho is partial to Aurora Indica so that is what he is growing again. Cocho certainly does know what he is doing, but it is unfortunate that his oppressors the Norwegian govt. limit his growing skills to such a degree. He should be growing a dozen plants!
 
I have never had purple leaves on an Aurora.

Cocho how did your first AI turn out phenotype wise?
