I am currently growing out his SF x NH.

Good luck..........I will be watching!

excellent guys! This is great...Buzz, I've got my front row seat reserved (gotta pack of the same beans in the fridge and I'm itching to see how they do). My own Crip Cross (sounds good don't it? ) the Neville's haze x Bluberry is doing wonderfully, I can safely say you can expect great things to happen with your grow of the Cap's genetics. Will stay tuned for sure!

Hey Buzzbob,

This should be fun to watch. If they turn out half as good as your AK thread with Berta, Carly, and Della you should have a great time with this one. Will you be running them in the same setup as with the AK's? I'll ge keeping an eye on this.

Hey all! --

Thanx for the props! Always appreciated!!

Hey! Here's an odd one-off question: When growing from seed, when do you consider Vegging Start? i.e., When they are transferred to their grow system {DWC in this case}, or when a certain number of nodes have been reached?

[edit] I opted to use the date the seedlings move into their productions system as the Veg Start Date. This move is timed with a majority of the group showing rootlets at the bottom of their respective RW Cubes. [/edit]


Here's the progress:

wow Buzz, I didn't notice you're growing DWC... bet they're going to be killer little gals. I can't remember if I have Superfruit x Blueberry or Superfruit x Blue Satellite, gotta check the fridge , either way my next grow is going to contain something of the Cap's genetics again for sure. I just can't get over my Neville's x Blueberry .

Happy growing to you my friend, I've got a first class ticket for this ride Elvisssssssssssssssssssss where's the popcornnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Hiya Ms Blue! --

Thanx for stopp'n by! Ayuh, I really tussled over how I wanted to grow these. I debated whether to set up an E&F System, or a smaller DWC, or what... I ultimately chose to stick with what I {more or less} know, and have supplies for; the 5 Gal DWCs.

So... Just when do most mark the beginning of Veg?

I have like 7 feet vertical room in flower, so I plan to veg 'em until they're like 14-16". {I can go as high as 18" under the fluoros} Being a new cross, I have no idea what they will do in Stretch Mode. LOL... So, yes, this should be quite interesting indeed!


Oh! I just realized that I neglected to mention I am using GH 3 Part Nutes, with the Lucas Formula managed by PPM. In other words, I will be using a ratio of 1:2, Micro to Bloom; no Grow, gradually increasing the PPM as the plants want more...
