pop_rocks - I just started growing last winter indoor and transition to outdoor for the summer. I have 2 full indoor crops under my belt and 1 outdoor grow. I have pics in my album.

WaxyTaxi - i have been wanting to run chunky`s gear since i first saw it.

packerfan79 - not planning on using drip kleen, while i really appreciate the recommendation i feel i could just flush more if i have to to fix build up.


maimunji - this is what i was thinking. Current ec of .8 400 ppm plan to run this for veg and flower just changing nutrient ratios in flower. Last year i was running high ec because my base water ec was .8 now i am at .8 with nutes should make a big difference.

I thank all of you who are following and helping along the way. Over the summer with my first outdoor grow, this fine community helped me to grow some monsters and learn a ton along the way.
Good luck and happy growing !

12 up 3 of 3 fems, 3 of 3 phc one had to be re burried a bit but should be good, 5 of 5 scout breath, and 1 of 5 forum breath with 1 about to come above ground, 0 of 10 gorila breath but there is still a good week before i go digging
So here they are

[OG_NoMan]

Its been a week since planting. All the scout breath are up and look good, all 3 fems are up the bottom of the stem on one looks a bit funky but should be fine, all 3 of the huklberry came up but one looks real ruff and its iffy. 2 of the forum breath came up so far one looks great the other is a little iffy. None of the gorila breath are up.






I also started charging beer cups for transplant mid to end of next week. Once i have to feed twice a day i will transplant, feeding once a day now.

hey, sorry those Gorilla Breaths are not up.

did you scuff them? I don't know if you heard the lecture I was giving folks on how to get them started with best results.

scuff in pill bottle with sandpaper for 1 minute shaking before soak.
soak 12-24 hours until you see some cracking and tips out.
put in wet paper towel covered with plastic and when they are 3-4"s and shedding the shell bury bottom 2/3d's in media.
keep them on top of the fridge for a good temp after they go in the paper towel unless you have a drafty kitchen.
soak 1st watering in.

why don't you try the rest of the Gorilla Breaths and Forum breaths like that and see if you don't have an improvement?

here's what the Forum Breath looked like when I tested them.

I can do that this week. I did hear your lecture and honestly forgot about it as i have had great luck just planting. Will definitely try your way and thank you for everything.

So i scuffed and soaked in RO for 12 hours and now have them on top of wet papar towel with a plastic bag on top of that. Is this correct or do i fold the wet paper towel so the seeds are in between wet paper towel wit plastic over everything? I thought that by folding the paper towel over it would suffocate the seed?

[Chunkypigs]

I fold so there's wet PT on both sides. Put them in a warm spot like the top of the fridge.

Did the seeds crack in the water?

[OG_NoMan]

After consulting the growers bible i did exactly that and folded the paper towel over. The seeds seemd to crack one of them sunk when i touched it. They definitely got a full 12 hour soak and are inbetween paper with a baggie loosly over it. I only tried 5 gorila breath just to get the technique before i crack the rest later this week. I transplanted one of the fems because when it rooted there was a bit of taproot above the coco so it got a little weak. So i transplanted into beer cup and burried more of it for better support. Everything that is above ground looks great and will all be transplanted friday. More pics then.

I hope you put some of these outside in the spring, your garden looked very fertile last year.

I'd love to see you light dep that space or at least part of it.

how was the quality of your outdoor last year? I had some dank cookies.
