I quickly replanted it and it took a couple extra days to finally shed the seed hull and start growing.

Thanks for the condolences Shooters.. My timing for them just wasn't right I guess.. Felt the massive pressure to get em going.. I am now considering planting my last 2 seeds. I have 2 DC's (left side), and 1 regular generic (lower right) growing well, Still waiting on that 1 last seed to show it's head.. maybe tomorrow night I'll surgically go in for a look with the magnifier and pic to see if it sprouted.. Then decide.

Wow, was surgically poking around the other night, only the have the seed pop right up and out of the soil with a 1/2 inch tap root, now in a much panicked state, quickly re-planted and watered in. It's been starting to show it's head for the last day, so, hopefully it will pick up some steam.. Thanks Shooters!!!

This plant growing stuff is kind of like watching a really slow moving herd sometimes...

Halloween Update : 2 DC's (left pic) are doing well - (upper right pic) DC very slow sprout growth, yellow tipped cotyledons, Shell was stuck on really good. I waited for it to loosen up, but eventually plucked it off as growth and light were hampered. Just yesterday decided to spread the leafs open as they weren't on there own.. Don't really know. hopefully it will come around.. (lower right pic) generic DP -- Fimmed all between 3 - 5 nodes



What's that whitish stuff on top of the medium ??? Just got in a tub of Montana Grow Silicon Amendment to test out today..

The DP typically get between 3-5 feet in my garden. Much easier to manage than say the Gypsy Thai in my garden.

Thanks for the Halloween update. Your lil ones are looking good. I hope the last seedling to come up will catch up to the others soon.

I'm trying, This last seedling showed stalled, Planted another and it is doing great, Altho, it's way behind.. Only got one bean left in your tube :( was unfortunate, but I blame myself for overwatering the first batch, rookie move, and the bad timing to recitfy it...


Anyway's, Quick Update, Just moved em into a 15:45/8:15 cycle - tops fimmed again 2 more nodes up, and set 26" under a 400w Super Eye Hortilux from a 18/6 cycle under a flourecent. Here's a peak. 3 of yours and a generic, Can you tell what is what?

Hey dont feel too bad about the over-watering. Ive grown lots of seedlings, but every now and then I fuck it all up too. My latest batch of pure DP seedlings are struggling to recover from just barely over-watering. I was giving my seedlings 2 oz of water when I should have been giving them 1-1.5oz of water, and just that little bit of water has lead to damaged roots, and stalled plants in my garden too. They're so delicate at this stage, but keep at it, and water just a bit less than you think you need to, and you'll probably see an improvement.

Its a shame to be down to one bean, but even that one could be something special. Take good care of that last bean!

Speaking of Durban crosses, Ive got some pics coming up of DpxThai finished buds, and some DurbanXShit f1 hybrid seedlings Ill get posted tonight. Hope you'll enjoy em!

Looken Great Dave !!! 8)

Tonight's State of Affairs

[CrossBones]

Update: Been battling a very lite fungus gnat infestation since the first posting date. Gave em a few watering's with H2O2 which has also effectively killed off the microbes and sterilized the soil. Also started with gnatrol wdg watering's last friday and tonight, been watching the tanglefoot traps I make and they seem to have slowed.. Gave em a good watering of recharge tea tonight to reintroduce some bennies.. Transplanted DC1, DC2, and GDP into 1 gallon pots sideways and tied their tops down in the last week as well as fimmed DC3 at the 3rd node.

Al tho you can veg under the Super Hort and they do ok, I always felt they need even more on the blue side to balance it out so I have been running a 4ft T-8 6500k shop light across the back of my tent, just behind my hood 18/6 to supplement the hps, So I scored a Cyber Monday deal on 2 300w Viperspectra v300 LEDs with a 50% Blue 35% Red 15% Green spectrum and installed em tonight -- Hung 1 on each side of the hood angled in. Turned off the HPS and am watching temps.. these leds have a 2x2 veg light spread, just enough to fill the 4x2 tent I'm using. I have the HPS set to 50% for when it goes back on and pulled the T-8.

Think that's about it - Time for sum Pics
