cornflake's 2nd stab at a kikass sour bubble grow - GrindHouse Medical Seeds Co. - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

cornflake · 01-20-2009, 05:05 AM

IMPORTANT : these are BX1 1IX, these seeds are earlier testers and not the finished "DMT" version Steele is still working to perfection; so don't expect my plants to be as nasty as the DMT - but should give me something almost unique for an Australian Grower, and hopefully for you, a good show

Thanks to heaps of experience gained from my last sour bubble grow, in awe of Zoo's impressive results with the Grindhouse Sour Bubble "DMT", and I'd love so much to grow a nice pheno/keeper of this amazing plant, because I used the last of my sour bubble trim and buddage to make some qwiso. And it was farking amazingly nice. That qwiso was the most beautiful smoke ever (the bud was ok but not strong enough, my pheno was one of the lesser ones). The qwiso made from her was just such a beautiful feeling, like being wrapped up and snuggled on a rainy winter night

So, after I failed to pop most of my testers last time, Steele Savage sent me a replacement pack, so this time I carefully used the gf's nail-file (emery board) to scuff the shells and the crack on each seed. The idea with scuffing is to help the germination along.

Dropped 6 into h2o just 30 minutes ago. I want these to pop.

CF....Not to dredge up any tramatic memories, but...on the failed seeds, did you get a bunch that kinda just melted? I know that sounds weird, but 8 of mine just kinda melted on the inside.

I soaked overnight until they fell (after filing the edges) then a couple kinda cracked so I moved them to the paper towel and zippy bag, nothing happened for 3 days and so I opened the paper towel and went to turn a few over and half the shell just slid off and the inside was mush. I germed as normal and under the same circs. so it wasn't extreme temps or nothing..IDK

Wow, that sounds terrible

No, mine just didn't pop last time. I didn't scuff until I got to 3rd day in towel and still nothing, so I started searching threads furiously, attempting to find a solution.

I actually razor bladed the crack in the shell then, and managed to get 2 sort-of seedlings going. Mind you I had to revive their hearts 5 times lol

No, what I did was actually removed the shell under a microscope and kept em in towel a couple of days, saw roots then put them into coco. I got 1x male and 1x female, the male got culled and the female was a sweet stanky furry lil' thing hehe

Hey CF, good luck with the grow and hope you find a DMT pheno.

cornflake · 01-20-2009, 09:34 AM

Thanks VH, hoping to get a nice keeper then we'll be good to go.

Hey...cross them with the Alpha Diesel your growing out! That would be very nice.

Good luck, I'm watching for sure.

Oh yeah oldrifter66 and cornflake...are you guys germinating your seeds following the lunar schedule? If you aren't, try it. Lots of peeps swear by it. I have had germ problems in the past, but it has been much better since following the moon schedule.

OK, so how would one plant by the Lunar Calendar?

Man I plant when I'm watching where my other grows are at, so I can keep perpetual. That's my method.

What I need is a keeper Mother plant, then we'll be talkin'

CornFlake, may you be blessed with a killer DMT pheno ....

Olddrifter , if tha beans came from GrindHouse, then we'll replace 'em. At tha moment we're workin' tha DMT line to be more stable; it'll be done before tha end of tha year, or we have some new stock shipping soon that we can put yer name on .... yer choice. It does sound like they were soaking in tha paper towels, I tend to go drier than wetter so keep that in mind when germing ....

Thanks Steele...I don,t know how to explain it...I use this method just as you describe it and usually no issues...these shells are hard it seems...trying to keep all that power contained....

If I can get the rest to germ than I don't want to bother you with the hassels....I just want a few good ladies...
