[NuggyBuds]

Hello everyone thanks for stopping by. I’ll start with a short history of what I’ve been up to. During the OG shutdown I was finishing a grow and decided not to start a new one because I planned on moving soon . So it’s been a while, but I’m getting back on the horse.

The seeds I am currently growing are seed I received from my dad, who received them from his cousin that used to grow, (he died recently). The problem is I have no Idea what strain they are, (thus the “mystery”). I’m actually excited to see whet they turn out to be, indica? Sativa? Purple? Skunky? Sweet? OH BOY!
I also have some “mystery” bag seed from the best weed I’ve ever had. I’ve grown this seed out once already with great success (sorry no pics) so I know what to expect from that batch so I’ll save them for breeding with what ever I get from the dad seeds.

I’m growing in a small cab built from a chest of drawers. I took the face of the drawers off and I will be using the drawer to hold the pots. This way I can move the plants instead of the lights. I have a vanity light with splitters so I can get 6 CFL’s in there. I have 6 27Watt bulbs, 4 daylight and 2 coolwhite. I’m going very minimalist organic using urine (see my sig for details how I use it), bone meal, molasses, and kelp in tea’s. I’m not going to go into my methods right now because frankly I’m not set on what I’m going to do. But This is going to be my “figure it out as I go” thread.

I germinated 2 beans from my dad, and I’ll grow them out for now. I’ve never used this lighting set-up before and I don’t want to expect as far as yield. If I think I can get away with more plants next time I will do that. If I get any males I’ll be saving the pollen using This method And I’ll breed with the females from the “killer” bagseed. If I can get a successful breeding program going I think I’ll call the strain, Mystery Nugs. Or something like that.

Here's afew pics.

The babies, Day 3



The one on the left looks like it might be a purple pheno.

updates in a few.

[NuggyBuds]

Quick update,

My "purple pheno" died due to my stupidity, burying it too shallow and it dried out. and so I started 1 of the "dad" bag seed and one of the killer. These 2 have cracked and are now in pots. I should see them pop out in a day or two, pics when they do.

Here's the first @ day 7. I've called her Alpha.

Alpha Day 10



Possible Calcium Def? Probably PH...

B (nick named "purple daddy") Day 2 (from dad stock)



One cotyledon is larger than the other. Maybe a trait someone will recognize in a purple strain?

almost looks like heat damage or nute burn? you defenitly do not need to fert them anytime soon I dont fert for atleast the first two weeks under lights if not more.

[NuggyBuds]

Well it's not heat. I have not feed it yet. I think it's the ph of the soil. I've got some peat in there making it acidic, I watered in some dolomite lime, and mild kelp tea fert, she's green today.

Thanks for the response!

Neat idea on the dresser Nuggybuds. Are you going to use that to flower them too?

I like molasses for a fertilizer too.. can't say as I would use urine but that's more of a personal choice rather than a dissected nutrient breakdown. What are you using for mix?

Good luck with your grow!

[NuggyBuds]

Thanks Jenna,
Yes I will be using it for flower too, I'm a little limited for space right now, and it's more of a hobby than a medical grow so I'm not to worried about yeild, I just want some good smoke.

The urine is perfect but I can understand your position.

As for my mix, it's 50% vermiculite, 25% soil, 25% peat moss, and dolomite lime.
All my fert comes from tea's and urine. I used to add blood and bone meal but I like being able to add ferts when they need it not in the mix. A personal choice.

Here is the Alpha plant looking meaner and greener.



amazing what a little kelp and molassas tea can do...

Hey there Nuggybuds, nice to meet you. Nice turn around with your alpha, looks 100% better. Ive heard molasses helps put on weight in flowering, you ever experienced this?
peace

[NuggyBuds]

Hey Alaskan,
Thanks for stopping in!
yeah the alpha surprised me a bit, I did not expect that it would need a fert so soon, but the floro's grow short bushy plants typically so I guess it looked younger then it was. If you get my meaning.

I've not experienced a bud weight increase, mostly because I've got nothing to compare to. I've always used it. However I don't believe molasses to be magic, but I think it helps you reach the highest potential for growth. Molasses is high in carbs and feeds microbial cultures in an organic setup, which in turn breakdown and assist in the uptake of nutrients. Thus giving you bigger and better everything.

tag!
hey Buddy, good to see you're still around, i'll be following your mystery grow from here on in.
