Hello ICMag!

After several false starts and a few hundred dollars worth of dead seedlings, I've finally kind of dialed it in. I would like to thank the people in this thread:

Fungus gnats or WINGED ROOT APHIDS???

For helping me figure out wtf was killing my plants. My seedlings were damping off, not developing roots; other plants grew for a couple of weeks then died. Cleaned out the grow room and dosed my remaining plants and seed starts in Bayer Tree & Shrub.

Medium/Grow Style:
100% Perlite, in Aurora Innovations Root Pots

Lights:
300w GLH LEDs, started seeds under CFLs for 7 days

Food:
edit: I am using Jack's Pro Hydroponic 5-12-26 + Calcium Nitrate. More info in this thread.

Seeds (All under $30/pack):
AnnaC Triesel x2
UK Cheese x SSCH x3 (Server Auction)
Random Feminised Seeds x4 (Server Auction)
Mists of Destruction Menage a Trois x2
AnnaC ELE x Chemdog BX2 x1 (lone survivor of previous round)

One of the MOD beans is a mutant.

10 days from seed. Sorry for the crappy pics.

- Came home and one of the Sour Diesels was very droopy; cup didn't seem too light, watered it, hope it perks up!
- Might've transplanted the big UK Cheese into the big hempy a lil too soon.



SD in front and MOD are doing nicely:

Almost 4 weeks from seed. News:

- 4 females so far: UKC #1, #2, MOD Menage a Trois #2 and Fem#2 have all shown female preflowers
- Fem #2 has a strong, honey bubblegum smell
- The Mr. Bigg's UKC x SSCH don't smell cheesey, more piney sweet, but are definitely skunking up the room
- Took 4 cuttings off the MOD and UKC #1.

Here's a pic:

looks like they have settled in very nicely good luck woolybear

Fem #2 "Bubblicious" at 13 days:

I don't want the femmes to get any bigger - their very bushy and great for cloning.

Plan is:

- make a mom tent/cabinet
- dial-in cloning technique (trying passive wick wit perlite)
- clones in CFL, when rooted move to veg for a few days, then to LED flowering tent

Update:

I originally had two 'sour' diesel plants in coco. They got close to dying due to pests, transplanted to perlite hempys. One is 110% revived, the other I may need to repot and trim roots, its not drinking and the leaves are veiny, may just need to cull this one. I have 4 fresh "SDs" that are doing FANTASTIC. The SDs are the ones in the blue cups - There's also a single mooch755 4sd in the mix as well!

Here are the two MrBiggs UKC x SSCG. #1, very big, took cuttings. Strong menthol pine smell.

after:



#2, 1/2 the size of #1. Honey pine smell. Before:

Update:

2 Triesels are both boys :( debating on keeping one for pollen, I have tight space.

Have cuts of all the plants now. Debating which moms to put into flower, or at all. Need to make room for the Diesel plants and the pack of CSG grandoggy purps that's coming for me in the mail!

I will need to some time to get some good cuts going, as the moms weren't trained for bonsai mom duty - never topped, etc, just LST. Would like to keep both UKs as moms maybe, plus the bubbgle fem plant.

We shall see!

Sad to report, both Triesels are boys, I think. I was thinking about keeping one around for pollen.

TR#1 Not much any smell at all
TR#2 Main stem, rubbed, smells like DEER SHIT FUNK with a strong MENTHOL EDGE

TR#1 Short, squat & branchy
TR#2 About 20% taller, more x-mas tree, longer internodes

Is TR #2's MENTHOL DEER SHIT smell stronger than TR#1's bushy branchy structure with no odor? Hmm!

You're gonna dig the triesel's yield and punch. Wish I would have made f2's when I had the chance. I've got the UK Cheese x SSCH freebies too, really interested in seeing how yours turn out.

Subbed!
