This thread is dedicated to pheno hunting!

My mission is to have one tray growing two stable strains in a mono crop setting for uniformity and continuity throughout the tray.

My other tray will be the test bed for pheno's I want, crosses I make, and for random plant testing or to provide home to the homeless girls out there.

I currently have a few people interested in supplying genetics. Need quality cuts.

I need many upgrades and changes, but like all threads this will evolve over time.

Welcome to my adventure. All love is welcome, all negativity is welcome, my thread is your thread, lets have fun people!

Are you growing 29 seeds in the 5x5?
I was gonna suggest you get a T5 for veg, but I dont know how long you could keep 29 plants under them.
You can keep your plants 2-4" away from them as long as youre using a passive intake and its not 80 outside. 77 and you might wanna back them up a little. They really cut down on stretch. As soon as I put plants under an HID they get huge really quickly

LyryC · Apr 4, 2013

Hey buddy, nice to see you round these parts! Got a thread of your own I can follow?

I'm actually germinating under the MH right now at 50%. 1 foot away from the seedlings.

When I upgrade to perpetual status, i'll have a t5 tent

I'll be running lights at night, so for the time being no A/C needed. Lights off for another 7 hours. Currently on a 16/8.

Settling in

Settling in

I just finished mixing my coco, growstones and my Benneficials.

I made a light mix to charge the coco with:
AN Sensi A+B
Microblife Photo Plus
AN B-52
AN F-1
and a splash of Amino Treatment.

I only have 12 pots ready for the cush seedlings. All need to be repotted and fed, they are going to be starving soon.

The OG Kush seeds are very slow to germinate but I see tap roots.

I don't know if the randoms will pop, but the night terrors should all be up in a day or two, the blackwater OG is taking off compared to everything else except the Night Terror, sowed at the same time.

Need more coco later.

Real life beckons.

TribalSeeds · Apr 5, 2013

Have you used growstones with coco before? Id be careful with that stuff. Sounds like it could wreck the coco ph and ec balance. I think they hold a lot more water than perlite or hydroton. Maybe a side by side or a few testers would be cool?

LyryC · Apr 5, 2013

Pioneering here. I used Coco w/ growstones and hydroton. THose 3 pots had epic root systems, much better than the rockwool.

I use Ph Perfect, remember

no need to worry about the pH but the EC will be closely monitored.

Really not worried about it and feel rather confident in the combination.

The Blackwater OG in the Root Riot sprouted, looking sexyyyy

2 of the Night Terrors popped up. They are very very light green, compared to the other seedlings, I'm not sure if they are supposed to be and if not, if they need help.

LyryC · Apr 5, 2013

Here we go!

Here we go!

two night terrors up!

One just skyrocketed outa no where! bummed how yellow green they look tho. I think im doing a typical newbie thing of tripping that their so light in color. Idk its been a hot minute since I popped beans.

But all the cush are looking SEXY, and I germinated those sluts ghetto style via wet papertowel between plates on my warm receiver.

So I'm hoping all these seeds germ proper as they are given a better advantage maybe? I actually read not to germinate in plugs but I think thats a load of bullshit.

We see, the directly sowed into the coco/perilite seeds are slow to start.

I think my OG Kush seeds need rough'n up before germination.

We'll see how the others do, fingers crossed on the trainwreck

Finally Pictures!

First up, the Night Terror OG's.

Then theres the Blackwater OG with the seed still clamping the cotyledons together.

The cush is moving along.

Tmrw is a very big day for the cush seedlings.

I'm taking them and removing all school dirt, which is actually really good and I'll save it to propagate with later. Then I'm dipping them into Jellyfish and transplanting into my charged coco pots.

Thats their new home until they wanna quick fucking around and get to business(Sex)

Thats all for today folks, keep it green

X-plant

X-plant

:wave:

So today I took the 12 CushxOGKush seedlings and transplanted into 60%coco 40% Growstones charged with bennies and nutes.

After I took the seedlings out of the soil I put them in Plant Success Jellyfish root dip or w/e. had a free sample from the garden expo.

Out of every single transplant I have done, I have hundreds under my belt between school and the nursery, this has been the only one that you can't even tell I transplanted.

Every seedling has actually continued growth as normal and has not been stunted from the xplant.

I never used Jellyfish before or any root dips, but hawt dayum! :biggrin:

Everyone is standing too attention from being lopped over, typical with trans plants but the turn around is surprising. Any other experiences with Jellyfish?

Pic Guide

pic 1 is of the old containers.

pic 2 is right after transplant

pic 3 is 8 hours after transplant

pic 4 is the blackwater OG in the root riot that sprouted

pic 5 is the blackwater og sowed into coco/perilite with watah

pic 6 is of the night terror ogs both now greener and one is taking off.

7 is my OG Kush Seeds popping, those seeds need scraping before sowing this picture is from yesterday

pic 8 OG Kush today

Pic 9 is that blackwater girl, and I love the way the seeds dont completely come off, really neat part of nature

Pic 10 is one of the Cush/OGKush seedlings

Super happy.

Once I have all these seeds in place, the CH9 girls will get their chances.

Need to make tables for those trays toooooooooooo

wildgrow · Apr 7, 2013

Up and running! Good to see bro.

Looks like youre ready - now if only the plants would grow faster, eh?

Those plug trays rock. I like the the elbow room for the sprouts to spread out.

Subbin'.

hahah right?

I'm stealing your milk crate idea for stacking and place plants on, and using them to make makeshift tray stands.

Fuck building shit, I'm stealing, if asking doesn't procure any, some milk crates from the grocery store, sterilizing them and done!

LyryC · Apr 7, 2013

hungry

hungry

I update frequently and with pictures.

Enjoy.

3 cotyledon OG Kush Seedling. Might have 3 true leaves!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the og kush seeds are popping up.

I have a tail on one of hte randoms.

One train wreck was obviously not going to germ so I squeezed it and sure enough the water never got into the seed. Baby was in there waiting.

The other TW seed looks like it might pop out the tail, so I'm leaving it wet.

Cush is happy. Some plants did get some Transplant Shock but its practically cleared up. i have a few runts who are slow as fuckkkk

The biggest og kush seedling and its roots, fat ass tap root with hairs all over it on the bottom. Marking this seedling hoping its a girl.

Can't wait to raise that light!!!!

Night Terror OG/BlackWAter OG

Night Terror OG/BlackWAter OG

First two pictures are of the Black Water OG.

Both seedlings are doing great and are giving me ease.

The night terror takes up the rest of hte pictures.

Not sure about this strain.

The first true leaves on both my oldest sprouts don't look too hot, and it looks like one seedling has chosen to skip the first set and go for the second set of leaves.

W/e the case may be time will be the verdict, but only 3 out of 4 seeds sprouted, 4th popped but the tail hasn't grown much since yesterday, if at all. Optimized conditions.

The 5th picture, is of the Blackwater OG and of hte Night terror, BW OG infront, NTOG in back. both sowed into the medium the same exact time. The BW is doing better and there is nothing different between those two except genetics.

Check out the leaf tips on the NTs... w/e the case may be, daddy loves youuuu lol!

The first NT that was trans planted is doing perfect so :tumbleweed:

wildgrow · Apr 8, 2013

A trifoliate, nice. Wonder if it will revert, continue or maybe even spontaneously split into 2 tops. I had a tri. The clone I cut from the top stayed that way, but every other clone grew normally.

I would like to state for the record that the crates came to me, I don't even know how I ended up with them. <- Ass officially covered.

LyryC · Apr 8, 2013

Found my tray tables.

I wanted to build some, but the tools are with a friend at the momment so I've been contemplating the entire idea.

Then I saw my buddies set up, milk crates. Stack-able light weight, possible storage, easy to clean, strong. eureka!

So I hit up my local Grocery store, guess people been stealing milk crates for decades lol and so I was told to buy some. 10$ a pop w/o tax at one local store.

So that got me thinking. Hmmmm.... if I can use milk crates and stack those, maybe I can use homedepot buckets! Now those fucking things are cheap, and regardless how i did it, thats ghetto. So I stumbled upon wooden crates for interior decor and realized its a bit pricey, including the plastic.

So I sat on the idea a bit, and then reverted to the DIY table and gathered up all my lumber. Still need to make a trip to homedepot if I want to do that proper, and that table would be big, heavy and not simple to dismantle.

:shucks:

so i smoke a bowl, walk the dog, got back sat around for a minute thinking and BOOM! IKEA! Cheap Easy - Don't really need high end anything or fancy shit.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49929639/

30 bucks, fits perfectly under my tray and in the room. Metal legs that I might cut down.

killerweed31 · Apr 8, 2013

great job, clean efficient setup...gonna be super interesting project grower!!
subs.

LyryC · Apr 8, 2013

Almost in place

Almost in place

Table up, fucking love ikea, one power drill and you got a table in less than 5 minutes. Strong too.

Say hi to the family everyone

3rd picture of nothing, will be the clone table.

Can't wait to fire up this new baby!

Totally got a triple leaf OG Kush Seedling, cool!

Group shot of the freshly potted OG Kush girls.

Transplant the Blackwater/Night Terror seeds started in coco/perilite into charged coco/growstone mix.

Planted the night terror little too deep, but with time it'll be in good position. Night terrors had some first true leaf set issue. idk but im glad the second shoots are coming up.

The blackwater og just won't let go of the seed shell! The pic is of both the BW OG girls

)))

Last but not least my CushxOGKush moving along

Can't wait to get a few clones and grow some monstahs!

wildgrow · Apr 8, 2013

Shit dude, look at that Cush OG go! Who woulda thunk? Nice going, having the most vigorous of the bunch.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/pe...-doing-so-they-commit-crimes-against/R688PysG

I want to cry... So hard right now... I live in the best worst country in the world, and its like no one here gives a fuck about themselves or the future for their children or for kids in general.

300 million people in this country. And we can't even get 100,000 signatures? Fucking humanity is doomed!

How are so many people, unaware???

wildgrow · Apr 10, 2013

Man its fucked up that a company needs its own act. To protect them? That equals up to no good. Didn't look too close, getting ready for work - can this be signed electronically LC?

LyryC · Apr 10, 2013

You'll have to register with We the People from the white house . gov site or something. But the petition is signed on the website.

May 25th is the day that all of America should be protesting at the Capital, their capital buildings, town/city halls and infront of all public official buildings to spread awareness and have our voices heard regarding this.

Think of V for Vendetta. Memorial Weekend is to remember those who died for our country, but what have they died for? Time for us to act and put a stop to the corrupt 545 pieces of shit ruining this great country and people. I'll post more information about that later.

Time for my all time favorite class out of all my college career - Horticultural Sciences. Growing food, for free, for class, to eat!
