So first diary starts here. Got some free Bubba's Gift recently with some other HSO goodies I ordered and have decided to pop these first. Positive reviews and meant to flower quickly so here goes. They will be vegged under a 125w cfl and then put under 100w mars hydro led for flower. Forgot to take any pics but they were in water for 12 hours and both were showing a taproot this morning so quite vigorous little ones that can't wait to get going. Potted straight into the little square pots, using peat free organic garden centre compost with a little ecothrive charge added. Hopefully these two appear before too long. Meanwhile tomorrow I'll be preparing the veg space for these as have others in the flowering area at the mo. Anyhows peace out and remember to take it easy peoples

Hi @HSO-Markkindly selected San Bacio Gelato and Purple Matcha for me in this wonderful seeds4diaries promo. I've got my 400w HPS out of retirement. Currently with a Philips veg bulb soon to change to a flowering bulb. Plus a 220w Strip LED Both lights slightly to the side and angled a little to add some side lighting. It's busy in there. They are on 24/7. I have flowering plants on large drip trays which slide across the tiled floor into a nearby dark bedroom with an oscillating fan set up. So I rotate two sets of flowering plants. It also means I can veg in the same space. So the San Bacio Gelato and Purple Matcha are joining this rotation. They arrived really early and I planted them that night 29/05/20 I planted 2 of each into a seed tray with new compost. A Purple Matcha broke surface in 4 days, the San Bacio Gelato took 7/8 days. One Purple Matcha didn't make it. It germinated and I could see the cotyledon leaves but it didn't grow any stalk and after about 4 days started going brown. I potted them into 1 litre pots 3 days ago. They look happy. SBG @ 8 days old today. The brown blotches on the first true leaf are from an accidental splash from a nearby Neem oil spraying. My mistake, I thought they were out of range. It only hit the Purple Matcha and she's fine. PM @ 11 days old Looking forward to growing these. They sound a bit special. Fun Summer Grow 2020 ... fat fruity nugs is the goal.

hello and welcome to The Cave, This will hopefully be a record of a successful grow but, I'm promising nothing more than a really good go from a crazy old bear. First the Space(s): I will update each space as we reach it (veg and flower are also separate) Nursery is a small cupboard with mish mash lighting and clip on fans for air (not ideal but it is only a nursery) The lighting for the seedling stage is 1/2 a T5 4 tube (half is fookeded) Nutrients and compost : Thanks to @Intense Nutrients Matt for kindly helping out so I could run the full organix range on this run! Top man So, I'll be using ; Granules Runzyme Foundation Grow Bloom These will run according to schedule, I will make any adjustments as we go but from what I have seen that won't necessarily be required... we shall see. Compost: Clover Multi-Purpose (on it's own for seedlings) Wormcast Kelp Meal Dolomite lime Ecothrive charge Other information: Water - my water is horrendous out of the tap (very mg heavy) I amend it with Canna Mono Calcium to a ratio of 3.5 : 1 Cal : mg I add this information as I get asked a lot about water and I hope this will be a good reference point for future enquiries. Ok thats it for the intro on space etc .... heres the pics, 2 of each got dropped in for a soak and all came up! Out of the gates and we have 4 runners Cheeky shot to show non destructive seed removal Runty PM on the right was the last to show and has been a tad slow in getting herself going but its only very early and everyone is alive!!! and now , in keeping with bear necessities... We have the "Pandometer" for measuring level of excitement Week 1 rating is .......... back in a week to see if its getting the Panda up SSAS (Stay Safe and Stoned) Obie

Welcome to my HSO 2020 adventure. Firstly thank you @HSO-Mark for sending the Sunrise Sherbert and LA Gelato seeds. The OGKZ and Gorilla Breath are the seeds I won in the last PNC. These will be grown under my 2 new Telos 10 pro LED lights in my 2.4 x 1.2m tent.... so very excited to see how the plants perform with the new lights. The OGKZ and Gorilla Breath are already a few weeks old waiting patiently for the Sunrise Sherbert and LA Gelato to join them. I soaked 2 each of the SS and Gelato in water overnight then into seedling soil. Both the Gelato were up in 48 hours, but only one SS. So I tried another SS, another no show unfortunately. I have the last 2 SS and 1 more Gelato soaking now so fingers crossed for at least one of the SS to come through. The one SS that has made is has a very thin stalk and not looking to great. I will be trying my best to nurse it to health. Few pics to get the diary started. Sunrise Sherbert when first up, all good. Sunrise Sherbert now at day 7, not looking too good. La Gelato when first up La Gelato day 7 And the OKKZ (back row) Gorilla breath (front row) They are doing well under the new LED That's it for the start. Got everything crossed for the rest of germination. Comon Sunrise Sherbert be nice!

Not sure if this is the correct area for the post however seeing as it relates to Dinafem i thought i would post here. After my current diary i will have used all my current seeds up and i have my eye on a few strains from a few different places. I have stored seeds in the past in the backs of cupboards, Aswel as In a box and in an airtight container in the fridge but have never had enough seeds to worry about leaving them for too long. This time im looking to stock up on a few seeds and looking to spend more than usual so wondering if any one has ever came across any specific seed storage boxes or anything that could be used to store a little bank of seeds safely for a period of at least a couple of years. Failing this it will just be a sealed air tight dark container in the fridge as normal.

OGKZ Week 4 Under a Mars Hydro SP250 and TSW2000. 540watts Total. Organic Dry Amendments and Liquid Seaweed.

We are off and running thanks to @HSO-Mark all popped and were placed in the propagation station. I selected the best three of each but had a forgetful feed and dried them out...they have now recovered and are in the system. hand feed initially with formulex I’m now onto a weak house and garden mix much love Kenny
