Hi All,

I have been away from these forums for some time but i'm back doing what i love best.

I used to do Micro Grows using a 70w Hps and kept bonsi Mothers and the occational plant on the Balcony of my flat.

a lot has change for me since i was last here.

Brought a house, had two loverly Kids & got my advanced certificate with the RHS (somthing i was thinking about doing when i was last here).

The new house has a big garden but needs a lot of works, but that will be another thread.

This year i will be growing only a few plants outdoors which will be.

Kosen Rufu (Petrolia Headstash x Cripple Creek x Vietnam Black) gifted to me by Friendly Friend.

White Widow These are selfed seeds i made from a cloan originaly from Femaleseeds.nl

kosen rufu? what is this buddha bud? do i need a gohonzen to blaize it?

Morning Folks,

Thanks for the replys everyone!

IWannaTokeNBone: Kosen Rufu was made by a old time friend from the US on ICMag i'm not sure he's here anymore though. Does really well outside in the UK tends to have two Phenos the one i'm hoping for is the one that goes a little purple when the weather gets colder in September.

Here some pix:

Seedlings

White Widow close up


The others are some Bagseed i saved years ago.. I cant remember what it was but i must of had a reason at the time to save them.. think they could be either a Cheese type skunk or Haze.. time will tell, I've never grown Bagseed before so quite excited to what they will come out like.

as my seeds are 6-7 years old i've had some germination problems hence the age difference between plants.. trying to get another Kosen Rufu to take of so i can have two of each. I had 5 White Widows but have just gone with the strongest two.

Thanks again all of stopping by, I hope that we have more nice weather to get things moving.

Nice start eggy.
The kosen rufu sounds interesting and the ww is a good producer. Had some fms ww outdoors last year that outperformed everything else. Although there was a bit of pm at the end due to wet conditions but overall a nice od strain. Ill be watching....

[Big Eggy]

Hey dude thanks for stopping by. what's the p in pm... I'm guessing something mold? I was a bit worried about the ww as she took 10 weeks indoors so i'm looking end of oct. The kf in the pix was begining of oct but even that had a bit of mold on the bud that over hung the balcony was a wet autumn in 2008 if I remember correctly. Ever heard of putting asprin in the water? Fingers crossed we have am indian summer this year.. Surly we deserve one after last summer?

[trichosaurus]

PM= Powdery Mildew
I had to pull her about a week early as a result but most of the pm was on the leaves and not the buds themselves. Never tried the aspirin myself but i did give them one good milk bath last year to kill some of the pm spores. Diluted milk at a rate of 1/10 sprayed on the plant. Seemed to keep the pm under control.

[Big Eggy]

I had problems with grey mold on the buds exposed to the wet weather so hopfully a mix of this asprin water & milk spray might help.

At the time i was growing lambs lettice in a tray and that was affected by Powdery Mildew but it didn't seem to jump to the MJ.

Anyhow here's a quick update, not a lot happening. Bit of tip burn on the oldest Kosen Rufu and the cotyledon are yellowing a bit.. Could be that we'v had some cold nights (2deg C) and windy days.

Well a weeks gone by so here's a quick update.

I should have probably mentioned at the start im at 52° North.

when i started this grow i aways planned to have 2 of each strain at this stange which was easy for the WW & KR as there were clearly stronger seedling out of the plants i had. However the bagseed was a little more difficult they were very uniform and healthy looking.

But over the last few days one of them has offered herself up for the slaughter due to a deformed stem.

Here's the rest

White Widow - 10/05/11



Bagseed - 10/05/11



and that's about it.. i'm still not happy with the colour of the plants but putting this down to the cheap compost i'm using. When i pot them on in a couple of weeks i'm going to buy some better stuff and will add a good dose of Fish/Blood/Bone.
