The CBG ones?

When do you start watering from the tray ?As soon they show?

Consolidated · Nov 29, 2017

I wish you good luck also DWD , and if you have time and "will " tell us some for that tray's habits...
Do you'll transplant them to fabric pots ? to take food from the tray ?
Thanks mate anyway.

deepwaterdude · Nov 29, 2017

Hi, Conso and Syd, thanks for the gander! Lol, I hate to disappoint, but that tray is for the most basic of uses, i.e. keeping runoff off the floor

I could use it as flood and drain, but that would require "thinking" and "working" until it got set up right, while hand watering is definitely less of a bother.

Yep, they will be transplanted into either 3 or 5 gal smart pots upon flower, and right now, the magic of EWC is getting them going FAST. Gorgeous little babes! After another week I'll flip them to 18/6, then to 12/12. I was going 12/12 from seed but have to reprogram my timer

Have to decide rather quick if I want another girl or two in there. How about a poll to decide on a couple more? I lean toward another Haze x KC and another OE or Malawi x PCK. If I don't insist on fems, we can think about GT, Malawi, Panama, Caribe, Jarilla, NepJam, Tikal, PamZam... I think only the first few interest me.

Good day, ICpals, girls are looking stellar this AM w/nice high temps. I'm loving their vigor and their great health is a huge relief. dee dubya dee

Hey,more OE is always a good thing!I scored my first VB dom at the fifth attempt .As interesting as the regs are,I won't take the plunge to suggest a possible dude.Another MxPCK would also be nice to have a chance at both colours.But I cannot NOT suggest the hz /kc...Can't decide.You sure you want more haze crosses in there?Especially 2 of them being Panama haze?But I would be the last one to judge room management :biggrin:

I'm in for the grow show!

Little red corvettes-these girls are much too fast

Little red corvettes-these girls are much too fast

Welcome aboard, Azure, and thanks for the thoughts, syd, almost had me popping one more of OE and Malawi PCK, then I thought- "Who can handle 12/12 from seed the best? Hazes." If I wet the seeds today, they'll see first light when I'm changing the schedule to 18/6 for one week, then we go 12/12. So they'd get a week of 18/6 only, so best go with some stretchers

I forgot I had Green Haze x malawi, so I'm thinking one of those and one Haze x KC. I'll put them both directly into 12 liter pots so no interruptions.
As far as space management goes, how could these tiny little shoots possibly give me any problems in that huge tent? (pretty sure I say this every grow;o))

Here they are this morning, looking light green under the Mega and growing exponentially every day. I gave them a 1/5 dose of grow A +B yesterday, more for pH and calmag than for growth, but I think I'll lay off another week and let them just eat the EWC, give 'em a little taste of Great White.

The Zam's a little fatty!

dubi · Nov 30, 2017

Hi deepwaterdude :wave:

Thanks for starting another grow with our genetics, much appreciated :huggg:

It's going to be a pleasure to see their development under your green hands!

deepwaterdude · Dec 1, 2017

Hey, dubi, glad you're back around

I've got another Zamaldelica and Haze x KC germinated and ready to plant, so they'll be eight total;O) As far as my palate is concerned, your genetics are the only ones out there, only hard part is choosing the strains!

Repotted to Happy Frog soil

Repotted to Happy Frog soil

Girls were not liking the coco, so I transplanted them all to 3 and 4 gallon soil yesterday (4 gals for m x pck and OE) w/ a dusting of Great White and lifted the light a bit. My old coco mix was pH buffered, this one wasn't, so even with my feeble attempts to keep it under control, I was losing the battle and the girls were starting to look very deficient, despite super fast growth. I was surprised to find very nice, healthy roots on the Panama Hazes and the OE already.

Haze x KC 2 came up last night

Pics later. Still at 24hrs light at 12 days from birth. Girls are very squat and starting to branch, almost ready for 1st topping for the hazes. M x PCK and the 4 hazes all have red in them

13 days-Mr Yellow Hands

13 days-Mr Yellow Hands

"Good care under green hands"- prophetic, dubi! They still have not dug into their soil and regreened, but I have hope. Man, are they fast growers, sick or not.
The Panama Hazes are obviously my favorites; completely uniform, most vigorous growers, and they seem to have withstood what the others couldn't. As I said, they had surprising roots for their less than 2 week age.
OE is stout as balls, vigorous and branchy, also had great roots.
Malawi x PCK was the canary in the coal mine, the worst off deficiency wise.
Zam 1 is also bad off, and seems to be a stout, malawi leaner?
Here they is, not looking their best... and all of a sudden my nice, clean tent is stuffed with pots. Still have to repot the babies in soil, once Zamaldelica 2 shows her head. It occurs to me eight plants is alot. Better keep 'em smallish.
I'm preparing myself mentally to reprogram my digital timer... the battle will be epic, and I won't be turned away in defeat this time... as I have the last few times. I'll program the *&^% outta that thing or die trying. Babies need some dark time.
Smoking some Malawi, feeling twitchy and stonedish, though very alert... I love pulling apart her tiny, sticky buds, reminiscent of some outdoor I had in France, with light lemon and devastating sativa high. Super dense little nuglets.
Gooday all, hopefully next pics will show big, healthy plants. Have to be careful with overwater now. dee dubya

deepwaterdude · Dec 8, 2017

Awright, Just grow notes beginning 3rd week of life.
Everybody but Zamaldelica have hit paydirt and perked up a lot. I've just watered the lot and topped Panama Haze 1. Hurts to cut a plant's head off that's having such a great, innocent time, frolicking under the big light.
I'm pretty sure they got their first dark period last night, but missed the window to check the timer, between midnight and 6 AM. Have to be tonight. Good thing about me and my bladder getting older, I get to do a middle of night gander

Haze x KC 2 is up and looking beautiful after a few days, but ZAm 2 is NOT up, and definitely should be by now. I may have lost one to the gods. Maybe they're saying 4 Hazes, 2 ZAms and two other medium size plants would be a lot for any 5x5?
Anyway, I'm famously impatient, and forget that repot rebound takes a few days. I somehow expected to be instantly forgiven for the early error, but they're making me do a little time

Ah, soil. Good day all, finally getting real cold around here. dwd

ThermalRider · Dec 8, 2017

Looking very nice there DWD..!! my timer is also finicky as F, I recently battled mine as well. Hopefully your ZAm 2 will pop the ground shortly..

Guest · Dec 8, 2017

Yes,it is awful to have to top them so young... :comfort:

But they look so vigorous!I had the same problem at same days I think,maybe yours ran even faster.Ewc are great but I think very slow release of N...Waiting for the perky update

deepwaterdude · Dec 11, 2017

18 days .8 EC feed - Zam no likey

18 days .8 EC feed - Zam no likey

Here they are still digging into new shoes. Everyone but P Haze 2 and HAze x KC 2 are at 18 days above ground. PH2 is at an amazing 15 days, Haze x KC is around 5 days old, have to look. Haze x KC1 just got topped before the pic; both she and the malawi pck looked better before watering

Those that had good roots upon emergency repot, the Pan Hazes and OE, have dug into the soil and are responding nicely.

I don't think I'll top the M x PCK, as she doesn't look very branchy. Zam, I have to wait and see if she bounces back. May turn out to be a no-Zam run.

Just broke up a lovely, lemon-fruit candy bud of ZAmaldelica x KC lady s clone outdoor. I've got my nose in the pile and I can't get enough of the bouquet; there's something cooling emanating from it that acts almost like menthol, clears my nasal passages. Haven't smoked much of this one yet, definitely haven't got these vibes off it before. Cured 6 weeks so far. I'll let you know how it smokes :tiphat:

Guest · Dec 11, 2017

Hey Dude!The other Zam didn't break ground?I wouldn't be that pessimistic about the other,dude she is very well developed for her age.She will bounce back for sure.The soil mix looks a lot more dense than the coco,maybe she would prefer less watering-just a thought.
That Pan haze 1 is fantastic,OE will be a beast,too.

saitama · Dec 12, 2017

I'm subbed. I have an ACE fem pack from where I ordered my Zam fem and MxPCK fem.

Dubi - would it defeat the purpose of the mix pack if I asked what is likely to be in there?

Ncali · Dec 12, 2017

DWD. . . The Dude! Looks like a fun run there. Some of my long flower sativas literally drank only water in veg and just a sprinkle of PK in bloom. Pain in the ass. I had to do like an entire room of mix and then go back just for that one plant (Long flower haze hybrids mostly) They have mostly ended up being worth it, despite the extra work.

I'm subbed, looks fun! Enjoy the grow friend

Bounceback going better

Bounceback going better

Morning, fellas, thanks for the interest and comments

Welcome aboard, saitama. Ncali, think you're right about letting em go easy on nutes, that and having to mix different batches of feed, no worries

I'm leaving that Haze x KC2 in coco, see if I can't get the pH right and give her a chance to catch up to the others on size, will have to mix her a separate gallon every day. Now that I can see they've hit the dirt and they're lifting their arms, I'll go water only for a bit. They're getting good color, finally, even ZAm :biggrin:

Here they are, approaching trainable age :peacock:

in another week they should be entirely different plants, ready for flower. Good day all! dwd
