For the Purple Old Timer's Haze x Meao Thai discussions, please start at page 11. 2010/2011 Old Timers Haze and Bangi Haze discussions from pages 1-10.

I will begin a new thread to document my newest grow. I have 3 of 3 Bangi Haze sprouted.

Bangi Haze

One of the 3 has a slight deformity. 3 cotyledon leaves followed by 3 leaves in first set. We will see if this continues into veg.

3 leaf BH

Also, I will be running Old Timers Haze. Unfortunately only 1 of the first five seeds started has sprouted after 6 days. I will start the remaining 6 seeds in hopes I can get at least 3 more sprouts.


Lonely OTH

As the viewers on this site are mostly sativa fans, I will also include this lone Senor Garcia (Oregon Purple Thai x Panama Red) to keep the OTH company. I dropped another couplke of these seeds as well in case I do no better on the OTH germination.

Last 6 seeds dropped in hopes of a few more OTH to join the mix. Woo Hoo, let's go!

Hey! Good Luck with the Grow!

Especially with the OT Haze. I get tired just thinking about growing her.

OT Haze is one of those plants that asks a bit more of a grower. I find that it feels more like a long term relationship than a simple grow!

All the best, I will be watching.

Thanks GM. So far, the OTH has proved herself a worthy adversary. Only 1 of the first five sprouted. I have 5 more in the drink for the past 24 hours. Hope I can get a few more to sprout. The one that has come up is racing for the lights already and is definitely the tallest of her class.

The Bangi Hazes are off to a fine start. The three leaf 'clover' Bangi is intriguing. In addition, one of the other Bangi Hazes has a rather purplish stem. Interesting for sure...

Trifoliates are pretty common...many say they usually end up being a male...I had one once, but that was in my early days of Cannabis killing...before I got my over watering problem solved...unfortunately, my trifoliate died at a young and tender age.

Good luck...

Hi UHN,

If your Trifoliate seedling becomes a Trifoliate Female, would be awesome! I should have some nice Triploid pics soon, also. 50% more bud sites!!
My 'secret' to really good germ rates and healthy Sativa seedlings is planting dry seeds into a medium to light, quality sterile potting soil. Then watering with freshly collected Rain Water. Rain Water is like Natures Mothers Milk. Everything in my garden, from flower to vegetable to fruit tree, jumps to attention when Rain is on the Menu! Then keep in a Very Warm place for 13-14 hours a day. Warmth on top of the soil, not just the bottom of container. Mid 80sF minimum. Should see growth in under 10 days. I get 100% with Ace stock regularly. Just my .02

Good Luck!

You are right about the long-term relationship! Even for one grow is a long term one, but it goes far beyond that (at least it did for me).
But i don't agree completely in that they ask more of the grower...they only ask for pacha (earth) and sun! I mean if you grow them in a nice spot with nice climate they'll do great on their own, and don't ask much. They ask for water and patience only! And of course love, wich they are very glad to give back as well.

UHN, great to see those babies starting! I've been told by breeder friend Atreyu that when you defreeze seeds, is better to wait four days until germinating them, so they acclimatize first. Then, they should have great conditions to germ after the cold as it happens in nature, when seeds sprout in spring after the cold winter has passed. But they won't germinate if you water them immediately after taking out of the freezer.
Recently i've germed some Trainwreck x Ak47 seeds i made in 2005, wich Atreyu had stored in his freezer for five years, i did as he told me and 3/3 germed as if they were fresh seeds!

Good luck with the babies!

ibjamming,

Thanks for your reply, I will keep close tabs on trifoliate. Male = pollen for the stable, if it shall be.

GreenMind, I like your ideas with rain, but this time of year in my parts, where does one find it? I could leave my cup for the next 4 months without much as a single drop...

gkn, I feel we are becoming kindred spirit. I will put your ideas to test with thaw cycle the next go around. Unfortunately, all 5 additional OTH appear to be duds based on my methods. I got a few tails, but they don't seem to grow out of their shells. I believe this pack was subjected to unfavorable condition sometime in transit. Or old, as many of my 3+ year seeds also were difficult to sprout. 1 of 10 is better than none. Male or female, I will grow it proudly and keep you all posted to progress. Ace will be my first order when new OTH arrives.

Bacchus,

Thanks for the kind words. I love your drink, especially in Pacific North West. Viva Pinot Noir!

All,

I am blessed, even with the recent less than ideal germination. I have ability to grow these fine seeds with help form many brothers (and sisters) on this site. I have 5 beautiful sativa plants (1 OTH, 3 Bangi, 1 Senor Garcia) that will be wonderful to watch grow. The reality is I have space outdoors for only two nice females and from these 5, I should find that balance.

In the meantime, I will keep myself occupied with Sativa dom crosses filling my jars...

Enjoy until next update, my smoking pleasure...


These are fine Sativa Dom samples still curing. I will sample and report to you, my friends very soon.

Regards,

[GreenMind]

GKN,

JAJA! Its true, she is like the first love AND the last one still standing when all the Fast Harlots are already up and left... Its easy to forget her sometimes, with faster variety going around. If I remember right, she went over 7 months for me last year. For now, I think I'll stick to the crosses.
