I top dressed with indonesian bat guano yesterday probably gonna put a small bit of mexican bat guano or peruvian seabird guano on them next week.

Easy with that stuff, you don't want to burn them.

I have grown many a plants not just pots fwiw I won't be dumping an entire bag on em just a tsp its a top dressing too mind you so only a small amount will be absorbed with each watering and I have never been able to burn a plant feeding this way. I have grown sativa's just not 100% pure before....I am also not one of those cfl nano dudes I see mostly here on ace so lets just let it be I know your not trying to diss just wanted all to know that I am experienced.....

Have you ever been experienced.......I have.....

I figured you knew what to do, just cautioning as guanos are some of the hottest organic ferts you can use. I've never burned anything with organics either, but I also measure and mix very carefully and if needed, my go to top dress has always been EWC followed by a dose of AACT.

Hi LostTribe

I'm glad to see you are starting a Purple Oldtimer's Haze grow. I have had much better germinate rates with the pure hazes doing a short pre soak (12 hours) in clean water with very low EC and then plant them directly in soil (soft, but high quality, well aerated peat), it has worked better for me than with the paper towel method.

They don't need much ferts or strong soil in their first weeks of life, so i will add the guano and worm casting later (or any other soil amends), after at least 20 days of life.

As Down Patrol pointed out, they stretch a lot in early flowering (especially when grown from seed), that's why is better to flower pure haze elder clones, clones are much easy to keep under control indoors.

Anyway, as i have recommended other times in the oldtimer's haze thread, try to keep their size under control with small pots, then only transplant to richer soil and bigger pots when the flowering stretching is over.

Let us know if you have any doubt during their development, best wishes!

I got 100% germ on the Zamaldelica and the malawi's but only 50% on the Purple OTH. I soaked along side the zam's for 12 and then in straight peat and tap water on a heat mat and under a 2 t8's at 10 inches.

Dubi, what females and males were used in the current offering of the regular pure old timers haze? It looks like I am gonna loose a runt too so probably down to 5 of the purple haze. I want to get another pack and maybe another selection also but want to hurry up so these all go at once. If anyone else knows the parentage of the regular OTHaze please post also as I think Dubi's been super busy with he OD season upon them....thanks! will post pics later or tomorrow...have to locate cable first...

Pulling up a chair for the OTH grow show. Good luck, LostTribe. This is going to be loooong route.

Pre-soaking (Seed Priming as I now call it) for 8 to 12 hours is all I do now.
I've been doing it for years with almost everything I grow including vegetables.
I've also mentioned this a few times here and there.

I also use a moist cloth vs paper towel for germination.

I also soak for a few hours on my veggies as well and some pop tap roots really quick that way!

I will have to get some new pics but does look down to 5 as the runt developed a brownish stem issue which i topped just above the only remaining single leaf blade below the mess who knows maybe it will pull through the others were all topped and have already responded with 2 shoots on each top at this point so they are vigorous! The Zamaldelica is still pumping fat leaves and big stem were also topped but much ahead of the OTH....

Dawn Patrol, Thanks for the heads up on the Guatemala's. I'm working on a green house for next summer. 14'W x 14'H x 24'L. With blackout system and fans. If I don't make It happen, here come the clones. My room now is going to be maxed out by end of flowehttps://www.icmag.com/ic/attachment.php?attachmentid=37 7242&stc=1&d=147322https://www.icmag.com/ic/attachment.php?attachmentid=37 7243&stc=1&d=14732222872287rin g.
