My beans just came in, here they are...

[JARofHERB]

Here is the breakdown,
The 3 packs of Nervana's are Jock Horror, Aurora Indica, and Bubblelicious.
The Afghani Hindu kush is from High Quality Seeds. And last but not least the wonderful gift by Gypsy, South African Durban x Skunk#1(breeder sam the seedman). So the thing is I can have only 2 female plants going at any given time (small apartment), But i can have about 6 total young going at a time(Ill sex them early for the 2 females). Ill let you know tommorow what 2 strains im going to grow first, and ill take pics of them when they have sprouted to start off my grow journal....Im so stoked..Oh and Im using 300 watts CFL (raw watts) for vegg, then by the time they need more light ill have a nice HPS..

good luck with your decision...
Ill sex them early for the 2 females

plants usually wont show sex until they are ready...usually a month old. Manipulation of the light cycle (usually) wont show sex if the plants arent sexually mature, for the most part.

[JARofHERB]

Right on... I was thinking that it would take about 40-60 days for the Jock horror, or aurora indica from seed to show sex. Ive got enough room Im my grow cab for 3 of each..They will be short and squat luckly, because they grow like that, so im going to prolly start them off first?

[Guest]

jock horror, if i am not mistaken...will stretch a LOT... its a sativa... well.. lets see... i believe its a skunk #1 x northern lights #5 x haze f2... ... so... i guess it might be short and squat... but it is primarily sativa, i believe... with lots of variation... should be fun.. but im not sure about short and squat...have fun with those..

[JARofHERB]

Thanks for the heads up on the jock horror,,then ill go with the Aurora Indica and either the Bubblelicious or Afghani Hindu kush to maximize space. The Aurora's will be the most compact for sure, and now that Ive read up on the jock horrors, youre absolutely right..

[Guest]

yeah... though.. i am sure the jock horror would blow anyone away, its going to have a different high.. personally i prefer to have 2 different kinds of bud with different kinds of highs... aurora indica would knock you out, and jock horror would give you a goot cerebral possibly trippy high... skunk and durban poison are supposed to be good strains, that will be primariy sativa ( i'd think)but im not sure it would have the stretch that the jock horror has, would be more stable, and i'd think would have a better yeild than the jock.... how much space you got?

[JARofHERB]

Great insight,,My grow cab is 5 feet tall, and has an overall width of 4 feet around.

[JARofHERB]

This is what I produced with my cab the last go round, Im sure this time will be way better..

Jock Horror was a lil' finicky when i grew em'... bubblicious on the other hand were a breeze, and some great sweet crystal covered pot.

Ive heard good things about aura indica.

[Guest]

so wait... 4 square feet? 2x2? or 4x4? if its 4x4 you need to be running 800 about... 2x2 or so..your talking 75 watts per square foot.... uhh... there are a few options, and i definitely think jock horor can work in that cabinettake into consideration that cfl's wont penetrate that well... i recommend.. you pick up1 or 2 maybe 3 4' shoplights for side lighting.... and it will produce some extremely high quality buds if treated properly... i say sea of green would be good for this application... possibly a garden bed taking up the entire bottom of the cabinet... just germ the seeds and put em in, kind of like growdoc's setup... that way you might even just stay with those 300 watts.. keep the plants short with little veg time... im just rambling here..giving you some ideas on how to do this...



ok here's what i think is a feasable idea... veg the plants out in 5 inch or so square pots, flip to 12/12 till preflowers show.. cull the males.. transplant females into 1 gal pots and flower... or veg longer...depending on how many females you're left with...

[JARofHERB]

Thanks bartender187, Ill take youre advice since this is only my second grow, Im going to go with the Aurora Indica and the bubblicious then, thanks again man..I really want to have a stress free grow to happen this time, as you see from the last pics, thoes nuggs diddent have a lot of crystals on them,,too little light..hehe..

[JARofHERB]

wang chung, 2x2 wide,, Youre right as i was just thinking ill try to stay with the cfl's, they are going to be getting like 75 watts per sq foot with these.Amd ill just you pick up1 or 2 maybe 3 4' shoplights for side lighting, thanks bro...great idea man..
Oh and nice idea once again about vegging out the plants out in 5 inch or so square pots, flip to 12/12 till preflowers show..should i have like 4-6 nodes on em before 12/12?

[Guest]

yeah, thats about right 4-6 i'd think.... you could keep it like that, trim off lower buds and all that jazz and keep the top, main colas, unless you WANT to grow slightly bigger plants..im just thinking, and im assuming your gonna go with it to an extent judging by your reaction... the extra wattage will help make up for the fact that they are floros, in the internodal spacing, and possibly in bud density...

[JARofHERB]

Dam my spelling is getting shitty, Im pretty drunkard right now..LoL..Im going to take some pics of my box tommorow, so youll have a better idea of the size..peace out..

[JARofHERB]

Thanks again wang chung, great ideas bro....

[JARofHERB]

I just soaked in lukewarm water 2 Afgani Hindu kush and 2 Aurora idicas overnight. This morning i stuck them into my moist soil mix&small party cups with drain holes. Im going to take pics when they pop up with there first leaves in a few days,and my grow box also....Im stoked to start my first grow log, Lol.

[JARofHERB]

OK....
Here is the freebie south african durban x skunk #1 from nervana, an update....The Aurora Indica and Bubblelicious I had going has been donated to a med card holder here in oregon. So im going with this nice looking south african durban x skunk #1, and a jock horror that is germing now....
