This will be an indoor grow for the Ducksfoot.
They are under florescent lights atm
Trans-planted to Foxfarn Ocean Forest today (pics are from August 22)

I popped 10 regular and 5 purple ducksfoot(freebee). I had issues with my back at the time and messed up a few seeds and even lost one (stonner moment). I ended up with 6 regular and 1 purple Ducksfoot.

I've wanted to grow these for years and just never got around to it, then the seeds from Wally Duck were very hard to find so thanks USC(Christan) for bringing them back

It should be a fun and rewarding grow, if the Foxfarm soil doesn't burn them up





cheers and thanks wally for the gentics

Cool Robo! This should be a great grow of those Ducks I hope you get some super web type from both Male & Fe- Male plants so you can make some seed- They Are All looking healthy and happy! A friend uses only fox farm soil he mixes it with volcanic cinders and dolomite AG #10 lime he said that Ocean forest is a hot soil for some strains but not so for others he seems to think that by adding the lime it sweetens the soil? Best of luck! woody

Awesome! Those ducks should be able to take that soil, no problem. Don't think I've ever had a problem with burning the duck. Looking good so far. Good luck.

hey robo,
good luck with your duck grow,
they should be fine with the rich soil ,
once used to it they like a good feed ..

might have to be a bit careful with them indoors and feeding though,
dont wont some monsters on your hands ,, hehe ...

thanks for the good vibes and information on the fox farm soil woody. I am a hydro freak by design for indoors as I hate gnats and such, plus the punch in growth during veg. Figured I'd stick to soil for this round and maybe later try some clones in hydro for fun. I hear that ducks like water.

cheers and I got another 20 duck and 10 purple duck for later.

thanks kamyo, it's always good to have some extra luck, no sign of over fert yet.

cheers

ding dang, with all these wishes of luck, the ducks should do great, Thanks for your words of experience wally, kamyo and woody. If they get too big I'll just have to adjust

cheers

the smallest Duck, which is named 'runt', showed a bowl effect with the leaves. I managed to pull them apart, but I think the runt is having a hard time and the next few days will tell if it is a runt or just a slow starter.


cheers

we'll know in a few days wally , I usually just cull the weakest, but on occasion I'll grow the runt just out of sympathy and 50% of the time I am blessed with a recovered plant and bud

the runt is dying and I'll have a little plant funeral tomorrow


and the rest seem to be doing ok, the leaves seem a bit leather like in texture. I guess that is normal and I'm getting ready for bigger pots and brighter lights




cheers
