ok all , may all be well . here is the first documented grow begun on 9/3/06 .... with picture even... so here we go . we start with 6 nirvana shiva seeds .... hmmmm ok first we soaked 'em in a bowl of water for about a day . then between the moist paper towels folded and put in a ziploc bag with a breath of air and sealed for a day or 2 . and ..... guess what ? on day 2 100% successful opening of seeds ... so into the soil they go ! here they are after abut 6 days from opening

i hope you enjoy ! these will be grown under 4ft. fluoros for a while so it'll be kind of slooow many blessings , hidingtree

ok with our special time elapsed grow log we're back and here we are 30 or so days later out from under the lazy fluoros ....

at this point they smell quite skunky ... mmmm exciting ..... hey with nirvana ..... ya never know......i've had some keepers out of a $15 pack o' seeds ... and even better with free ones etc. ok so they're all kind of uniform in growth . ok . many blessings, hidingtree

[hidingtree]

ello its time again ... just kidding.... wait no i'm not ... shiva's have been topped for cloning action approx day 56 from seed .... yeah the fluoros do the job .... but ya def gotta be patient ... hey i'm not in a hurry ....well here are some pics of the 3 males and their clones....

here are the 3 females tops that were cloned they aren.t uniform because of the container size ....

ok shiva 3 &6 are now in flowering for 2 wks. yay !heres their gig :
shiva 3 ... purple skunk in it i think from that special male that ... they have in their production
these are being flowered in a some what crowded 250w hps cabinet ....


here is #6

# 4 will be included when we have the room and some more phots up loaded depending on the potency of the purple one maybe we'll save it for some purple influences later on .... ok many blessings , hidingtree .

here's a quick update with some pics day 26 flowering hmmm halfway there ?
here's shiva 3 she is a pretty purple pheno.

shiva 6 is in recovery from a nute lock out .... so she's a bit camera shy . put a little of mixed pollen on a couple of buds with an artists paintbrush for some give aways or whatever .... might be interesting to have someone grow em out to see how common the purple trait come through ... ok so #4 which is the other femme of the 3 ... she was a little off balance ph wise so she's still stayin back stage ..... feelin yella ... many blessings, hidingtree.

Very nice growth for 10 days. I heard nirvana shiva was suppose to be 1 of there best selections close to the original. How many watts are you using? Good luck bro. Take it easy.

[hidingtree]

thanks T ! that one purple is the most vigorous of the 3 femmes . just using a 250w hps . regular gh 3 part and pro-mix bx . cant wait to sample it . seems like another 35 days might do . maybe a bit more for mature seeds .... thanks for stoppin by ! many blessings , hidingtree

a brief update if you will ,

here we are at day 35 of flower of 2 of the femmes :

shiva 3 ....


here's another of #3 with her taller skunkier sister #6:





ok . to all who stop by thanks . ! i hope you enjoy . we'll see what nirvana shiva equates to in another 3 weeks or so . i've always been curious about some of thier strains . and for the $20 or so curiousity can be satisfied somewhat easily .... many blessings ,hidingtree

[hidingtree]

hey all ! on with the grow ! here's an up date of the two shiva girls in flower . they are at day 46 or so .there were a few issues with the ph in our water supply and therefore we've had some corrections to make ....this is partially a shiva seed run for some f2 for stock to share later on .
