______..

Hi friends!

All sprouted, here's a report:

• Snow Fruit '1 > 24h
• Snow Fruit '2 > 30h
• Snow Fruit '3 > 27h
• Mohan Ram > 27h
• Sweet Afgani Delicious '1 > 28h
• Sweet Afgani Delicious '2 > 48h

Some pics...

All very fast, between 24h and 48h, but I was thinking that one of the SADs wouldn't germinate, as it was old (I had it since 2007) and I don't keep them refrigerated. Hope you enjoy the pics...

Warning: don't do this!

*seed are extremely foto sensible and it is very dangerous for them to be in direct contact with non sterilized surfaces. I did this just for fun and if in the next days the plants/seeds show any sign of problems it would be the one to blame...

When they get out of the soil I'll share another update

Hi buddys!

In the next pics you can see the preparation of the soil and of the small pots for the first 12-18 days. For vegging I always prefer to use Composana Universal for my soil mix, but maybe that's just because I'm used to it and I'm sure there are many other good options, maybe even better. Sometimes it is even a bit strong for the first days of life of our plants, so I mix a bit or perlite to make it a bit softer. In theory, if we had 10% of perlite, the soil mix will get 10% less fertilized, because perlite is an innert. I added 20% of perlite to my soil mix.

Well, I leave you with the pictures...

And that's it. Now they just need light, air and water... Stay cool, sweet smokes!

Hi my friends!

Some leafs are starting to complaint because of the size of the pots, they are very small and they should have been transplanted to some bigger pots already. But as they are going to be taken to other house it is better to do the transplant only when they get to their definitive place They'll suffer a little bit but I'm sure they will recover very fast as soon as they get to their big pots

But they're still very beautiful anyway...

Not much more to say right now, everything is fine, but I will update this very soon

Sweet smokes

Hello my friends!

So, here they are, almost ready to join the Cream Caramel clone and get to the 250wHPS in the Homebox XS. I had a small problem with spidermites but I expect to have it controlled before the plants start to flower. Well, veg stage is never as interesting as flowering stage but I expect you enjoy the pics...

So, soon they'll be in their big pots, then I'll give them 7 days of 18/6 with the HPS before changing them to 12/12. In those 7 days I expect an explosing and vigorous growing, so I invite you to keep passing in this thread so you can follow their development.

Soon I'll share pics of the transplant. Sweet smokes!

Hi again! Here I am as promised, with the pics of the transplant to the final pots, hehe...

As I'm only going to give them more 8 days of 18/6 they will not have enough time to use the whole 17 litres of soil which would fit in the big pots and so I just filled the pots by half, or a bit more than a half. As seen in the pics I'm only using 12-14 litres of the 17 available. In this grow I'm using Professional Plus from Canna.

Some pics...

Now in a week you'll see the difference Stay tuned!

Sweet smokes!

Hi buddys!

Another update, now from the day when they were passed to 12/12. They grew as expected since last update, with an amazing vigour. They are all very beautiful, as visible in the pics the Snow Fruit is very healthy and pretty with a short internodal distance and strong branches, capable to hang some heavy buds. In this grow the best entertainment to me is to assist to the development of the flowers of this variety for the first time...

Stay cool, I'll be back soon with more

Hi mates!

...and it continues...

With a special about Mohan Ram...


.:|Mohan Ram|:.
_White Widow x Sweet Afgani Delicious

Stigmas are now abundant in the top of the branches and little flowers are starting to get formed, so I'll consider today, day 8 of 12/12, the first day of flowering. Mohan Ram is very beautiful and vigorous. Last year I grew 2 of them and I got to plants very similar, in terms of structure but also in terms of aroma and effect. This, so far, looks the same. They don't have as many branches as Snow Fruit (which can be seen in the pic bellow), but the Mohan Ram branches are strong.

Snow Fruit:

Sweet Afgani:

Cream Caramel:

Mohan Ram:

I did a simple LST, with just two threads, one in the base of the plant, holding it, and the other pushing the "neck" of the plant down, lowering the main stem. They were stretching a bit too much and getting very near to the lamp, so the LST was inevitable. I also took them to a couple of hours of outdoors to give them a neem bath.

Before the LST:

After the LST:

See you soon, keep it high!

Hello!

Here we are once again for another weekly update

Plants are looking good, with a very good response to the LST. I've already watered them with a bit of BioBoost and BioFlores from Canna. As visible in the pics they are healthy and didn't stretch that much. All of them have between 3 and 6 buds at the same level and they are going to stay at the same distance from the lamp. So I guess I'll get some good buds in the end, even with only 250wHPS.

Snow Fruit is the one that is promising more, hehe, with good branches, vigorous growth and some green big leafs

Some pictures...

If you have any question, please post it

See you soon! Sweet smokes!

Nice lil set up TommyG. Ladies are lookin good!
Have always wanted to grow and smoke Black Domina, so I decided to grab a pack of your SAD off the Bay and give her a run. Will be following the thread. Is the Sweet Afgani in this thread the mother that produced the new S1's? Looking forward to seeing her flower out.

Hi DrPoison, thanks for your visit and words

Nop, in this diary I used seeds, the same seeds you can see in my first 3 posts. In the third post you can even see the SAD seed recently sprouted, hehehe. If you have a look at my other grow diary (which I'm posting right now, right here) you also have 3 Sweet Afganis, also from seed. As I said in other thread I'm colaborating with Sweet Seeds only since last summer and this grow diaries were made before I was colaborating with them. Except for the new Autos diary that I'm posting right now, that one is fresh

As I love Sweet Afgani I may soon get a clone from the mother used to produce seeds, so that I can be abble to compare the results. But the plants I got from seeds were always of good quality, with some differences among them, of course, but the sweet and aromatic taste and the strong indica high is present in all of them.

Mohan Ram (Sweet Afgani x White Widow) is other of my favourites for the same reasons...

Hope you enjoy yours, you're welcome to post a diary or at least a few pics. And you're also invited to keep passing by my diaries

Sweet smokes!

[DrPoison]

Thanks Tommy.
Yea that Mohan Ram looks kick ass!
Will let you know what I find in my SAD's.
Stay growin! Stay safe!

Hello my friends!

Ok DrPoison, hope you enjoy it, let me know then

Here things are good, they starting to form buds and each plant has at least 4 buds that will fatten up as I like them to... In the next update I will already have some pics of beautiful flowers. Snow Fruit is looking really well and Mohan Ram is confirming what I thought of her, that she is a variety that features a vigorous growing and flowering, seeds originate plants very similar in structure and is has a very short flowering period, it seems to me that she is ahead of the other 3. The Cream Caramel is the one that has more branches but I guess it is normal since she's the only plant that is not from seed, it is a clone from my previous experiences.

Stay tuned for more... very soon

[JohnnyHopkins]

the mohan ram is pretty indeed! what's the story behind the name? Thanks for your work!

 

[Tommy G]

Hi Johnny! Thanks for your visit!

Well, you can get more info about Mohan Ram here Mohan Ram is the name of the guy who "invented" the feminized breeding with STS method.

STS: Silver thiosulfate, a salt compound used in photography. In plants, silver interferes with, or locks out, copper, which is a necessary micronutrient. Making copper unavilable inteferes with ethylene signaling, and reduces expression of traits that are dependent on high levels of ethylene, such as female sex expression and fruit ripening.

Our Mohan Ram is White Widow with Sweet Afgani Delicious S1

Stay cool, keep passing by!
