Hello and welcome to my new diary,as a few of you already know i have had a few problems aquiring my competition seeds and have now given up trying,bloody postal service Anyway i have decided to have crack at this lot seeing that TRSC were so very generous with their offer a couple of months ago, Click to view attachment I have planted three of each not ten minutes ago,aparently these could be a bit of a challenge to grow from what i`ve read about them,so all i can say is bring it on!Click to view attachment Please anyone feel free to comment as i`ve not grown these strains before.

good luck ratdog ..and dont forget to not feed them lebanese ..

Cheers Vince,when you say don`t feed,not even in flower?

should be a good show mate
ill keep my eye on this

all the best

I think that's the idea mate - couple have reported hermy problems when using quick release nutrients like bio-bizz. I'm just gonna stick with water and see what happens - I have some guano on standby just in case...

All the best with the grow, I'll look in from time to time.



J

good luck with them dude .......... got the leb and mazar on the go me self in the veg room, soon be moving to flowering






...........................

Cheers Rip,Garage Flower and Jimbo...still waiting for them to show their faces

I will keep an eye on this one Ratdog as I have all these strains as well. How do you mean they might be a challenge are they difficult to grow then??

Hello SD thanks for dropping in, it`s all about neuts,i have it on good authority (Namka) not to feed the lebs just pot up if required but i will try to be as detailed as possible in this diary.

Finally someone decides to show their faceClick to view attachment It`s been four days in compost and just one so far,would you be worried yet?

And i just noticed when moving it to the nursery it has only one coytledon, not a good start so far.

Oh no mate, at least I know now to be patient with my Lebanese now.
By the way did you find those little round plastic cases the seeds are in a nightmare to open? or was it just me

Speed D,i nearly cut my fekin finger off.

So I was not the only one that used a knife to open it then Nice one mate, good luck with your grow as it cannot be much harder than getting at the seeds

there is a knack to opening those seed cases - you squeeze them on the narrow side and you can slip a nail into the crack


the seeds should germinate fast - I don't know why you are having problems with them

the Malana are past their best already --- seems that the shelf life of some charas seeds is less than 2 years... so maybe you will get less than 80%.. but the Mazar should have been well pinch tested, and the Lebanese should have given you close to 100%

fuck knows man - I had 100% off the Lebs a few days ago when I did a test before sending them out to a potential retailer... tested them in May before that, sent some out to people, and within a couple of days had a couple of people complaining that they wouldn't germ even though all you need to do is throw them in some water and they pop


[edit: looking at your pics of those seeds I can see one of those Malana seeds is already dead]

Good luck with this grow. Looking forward to see how they turn out


You must have had bad luck with your seeds i think. i think i had 1 out of 18 nepalese that didnt sprout. all my 12 lebs and 12 malana´s sprouted very fast..


the small cases they come in, all you have to do is twist them a little from side to side, and they open...quit the puzzle to me first time

Sounds more like it --- let's hope ratdog has the same

the plastic cases are used for keeping amulets in in Thailand

they can be a bitch to open until you get the knack

maybe its becourse my wife is thai, and son is half half then I actely did see them in thailand last year, but just in a redish color

1 Lebanese, 1 Malana Cream , and 1 more Mazar have germinated

Another Malana Cream We`re getting there!

E2a, Thanks Matsi and Namka,only four left!

Good luck mate all the best 916

Cheers mate,hey checkout my other diary,i`ve made some hash!

Well looks like mine were lazy buggers!Click to view attachment Still two to go but will give them a few more days yet.

I got a new toy in the post today...Click to view attachment And here`s some home made hashClick to view attachmentneat scales eh? And it works like the real thing!

The last Lebanese has decided to grace our company But the last Mazar is a dead seed, never mind 8 out of 9 ain`t bad

yeh, that's more like it

my guess is you put the seeds quite deep in the soil right? maybe a cm or 2 down, yes no?

a tip with seeds is to put them no deeper than the size of the seed itself --- so for cannabis seeds, cover them with a c. seed's depth of soil

what was your hash made from?

Hi Namka,you`re right about the depth,will plant shallow next time thanks

I made the hash from the trim of two Strawberry Coughs and one Armegeddon, I used a Bubbleator and have saved the water and let it settle(went through about 8 runs) so i have managed to make even more rather than throwing the water away this is what i`ve made,the big bit has already been posted above just finished the smaller bit which weighs a respectable 1.9gClick to view attachment

Here we are all bar one looking healthy at various stages Click to view attachment

this leb had the smallest amounts of feed that must have been in the watering can(only a tiny amount of dregs) and its hookin all over the place. I feel a little embarraced but here you go
Click to view attachment




i will give it some TLC though unless she's a he

Looks pretty good to me dude,just water from now then,looks nice and healthy otherwise

compare it to one that didn't have the feed

but this is a male and by the time you read this, it is no more

I can`t believe how fast these little buggers are growing! Especially considering only half of my 250 enviro`s working. Waiting on a new on but my supplier`s supplier is playing silly buggers Click to view attachment

I have potted them today,using Special mix which i like very much. I know it was a little early but i used very small first pots and they were well rooted,will leave the next pot up to 2 weeks all being well. I gave them a soaking in Maxicrop and NitrozymeClick to view attachment

Looking good mate, just do not go anywhere near the buggers with nutrients

they will have mad heirloom vigour anyway... the roots will grow very fast, and will continue to grow even in flower

the more extras you use, the more likely there will be an adverse reaction from the plants... not the end of the world of course, it will be good to find plants which don't mind it, sooner or later we will find heirlooms which don't mind loads of growth boosters, nutrients, rich composts and assorted other sprays

Hi SD and Namka,thanks for droping in. They have been sprayed with Nitrozyme before potting up Namka so i think they don`t mind it,but i`m going to be very careful with these little buggers,not planning to waste running costs on badly grown plants.

I'm throwing everything at my 2 phenos and they dont mind one little bit!(hydro) At the end of week 5 now the E.C fluctuates between 1.4 -2.4 then I add water and ph down and they're good to go again. Very dense and lush.. and fattening up nicely

looking good, i aint fed my mazars and lebs yet .and they ar loving it. just bat guano in the soil mix ,

Hi Oli,as you can see i`m in compost and there is plenty of nutes for these fussy buggers Smokie mate,are yours in flower yet?

your plants are looking good so far.

Cheers Spankey Here`s some more pic`s,first the Lebonese,as you can see they all look quite different but they were staggared in poppingClick to view attachment and the Malana`s again quite different,the one top right has a little wind burn as it`s getting crowded in the nurseryClick to view attachment

I am looking foward to seeing these little beauty`s flower,assuming one or both will be girls,the only real difference at the moment is the shade of green Click to view attachmentClick to view attachment

Hi Ratdog, nice stuff, are those in the last post the Lebanese?

Hi Namka,no mate they are the Mazar,my favourite at the moment.

duh - yeh, I just saw the label when I opened the pic - the leaves do have that slighly more rounded Afghan look than the Lebs can do when young ---

Have you seen the new pics of the Mazar outdoors from Morganna and from Toki? They're looking very nice --- Morganna has a pic of one with overlapping leaflets, as Burningfire says "like plates"... about 1.5 plus metres tall, planted early in season in N. America

Bloody hell Looks like Ratdog`s gonna be doing some topping Thanks Namka.

Hey namhka that mazar is over 2.5 metres tall ( 8 feet ) and the one beside it that you can just see part of at the right of the picture is over 3 metres tall......these 2 were started from seed in the first week of may and I planted them for my friend the first week of june......if they were started 4 weeks earlier they would probably be 4 metres tall now......

duh yeh brain meltdown... mind you, you N. Americans do have a weird attachment to those Imperial measurements --- bring on the metric, I can't think in feet etc. just doesnt work for me for conceptualising things esp. height

what sort of size are those leaves?

Big ones are about 10 inches long..... plant on the right had a few that were 11- 12 inches.......

Day 24 In the Real Seed House Here`s a shot of the very different Lebanese Click to view attachment And a shot of the Mazars again quite different pheno`s Click to view attachment
