Hiya doods
This is my first grow diary so welcome. I grow 'in the eaves' so height is an issue for me. My lovely sk#1 is my fav as i can get a lovely yield without needing height. Last grow was KC Brains N Lights special. Been a prob for me all the way through-just keeps on stretching.


Anyhow, this diary will consist of my current stock.

8x Silver Haze clones(topped and tops used for clones of which 6 are lurverly, 2 dead!)
About a dozen 'Home Grown'( boy found in corner of friends growroom well into flowering) N Lights#9 seeds that are now pretty little seedlings.
5 very precious to me White RhinoxBubblegum seedlings( er... home grown variety again but this is the start of a famous breeder!!! )
6 or so clones from my SK#1 mummy.

First pic-my seedlings.... aaah.

2nd pic is my NL#9 seedlings about 24hrs after they've been put under the flouro's.

These are my S Haze clones a day after they have been topped.

My SK#1 clones...

A pic of 'the nursery'...

A final pic for the minute of my little 'boy'. First three clones i took i forgot to label and two of those were boys so when two died i thought safest thing to do was veg and label as boy till needed. Needed, well want really, some sk#1 pollen so popped my 'boy' into conservatory and he turned into a girl. MORAL. Always label your plants-FB-take mental note.
Anyhow she's in 12/12 now and thoroughly enjoying herself...

oh yeh as you can see 12/12 plants are now out in main loft area because......

The above 'triffid' version of NL has decided that it will outgrow anywhere so they are out in loft.

While these are finishing i will be constructing a new 12/12 room in the eaves. Bigger,Better,faster than the one before...


Off to take some shots of seedlings for todays installment...


FB

My little babies are coming along just fine i think... anyone see anything i'm not???

Can't quite see it in the photo's but the cotyleon leaves have a kinda purpleish tinge to them.

I pop my seeds straight into jiffy 7's. I find them easy to use and ideal for my situation. I germ lots of seeds for general gardening and use jiffy 7's for all of that so didn't see any sense in changing too much. I have found that my seeds tend to pop quicker and have a better germ rate when kept slightly above 80f. my germ rate is aprrox 100% on bought seeds and approx 30-75% on bag seeds-'Home made Seeds'

My BGWR seedlings @ 2 days...

The dates you see on the labels are the date i popped seed into jiffy 7.

SK#1clones now starting to take shape. I love this strain, It's sooooooooo easy to grow and puts up with all sorts of cock-ups and over exuberance.

Can't resist showing off this pic. My prized SK#1 biggest cola 2nd grow. 160g when harvested and manicured. 26g in this shot...

Here's a peek through the door into my 'Nursery'

I'll try to keep this as up to date as i can now i've started it. I wanted to do GD grow diary but as plod seem to think it's more important to hassle J than to get out there and catch rapists/burglars/car thieves/muggers(if your reading this pigs any will do-obviously we don't expect you to catch a selection of each, that would require good, honest, active policing. Just one or two from any catagory above would bloody impress me.)
I must say none of these pics would be here without the help of J & saldo1. Other mention's must go to MrBishie, FW-aka Vlad, Mithrandir, Hydronaut(for hash inspiration) and the forever omnipresent OT1. Anyone else i've not mentioned i mean too but at this moment have forgot...

Without you i would not be doing this or enjoying it much as i am. Thank you all


FB

hehe fanbloodytastic m8, that ozbud of sk#1 is to die for ..........
gotta ask but, how do you stay so organised?it`s a smashing way to label your 3" pots, but mine are lucky to get taped and marked
everything looks healthy so not much to say, apart from..........
looking good

Organized. It's easy MDP-when your an obssesive Anorak like myself.


FB

Actually MDP my plants get labelled as seeds and the label stays with the plant as it travels through different pot sizes to it's final pot. One side of label has genetics and d.o.b. Other side has veg length and date into 12/12. Very easy, nice and accurate and above all ANORAKY


FB

Nice growroom's FB, very swish

I like your NL!

Happy Growing,

VRG

Nice setup The Fishboy


A fellow labela eh

@ aroraks!!
better organised than not m8 & yeah, for some reason the word obssesive does keep springing to mind!!....
all the best with the grow, pity bout the GD, but if you pass have a look at my grow diary, theres 6 gd seedlings in it

MDP i'm definately gonna have a nose at your GD grow-Stick a link up for me pls dood(doodet) as i'm a twat with computers and arse lazy when it comes to them too.

VRG- You can have my bloody NL It is still stretching at wk7 and shows no sign of finishing. I think i've discovered a tiny light leak but the room they came out of is absolutely lightproof. KC Brains N Lights special they were called on the packet. Glad i only paid £5 for them is my reply. The plants are in excess of 6ft now and they went in at 12"???

Here's solution to tiny light leak... Think that'll learn it.

My little GIRLS have put on a bit of height since yesterday...

so have these GIRLS.... (go on be GIRLS)

and my fave's... oooh, shhh, don't want other's to hear....

My new nutes and soil arrived recently. I must take this opportunity to thank the organic growshop. Efficient, polite, keenly priced well packaged goods. I'll use them again.

And here FB gets a bit arty...

or wank

As for my NL do you think they have a week left...

sorry, try this...

These are the last of my genetics so once gone they are gone. Be gutted if there potent as fuck but they aren't even producing many trich's either so i can do with them gone.

My SK#1 on the other hand...

Look like they'll turn into devoted replica's...

As i've got some time i'll post some interesting(ish)((i think but i'm stoned))pics

This pic was shot same as other macro. My cam has no macro so these are taken by cam on max zoom and rear lens off telescopic rifle sight is held up to cam lens. All manual with my hands. Took many many attempts. Many.


9/10 for Anorak behaviour though...



FB

Watered all the little GIRLS today. Nothing unusual to report. My SK#1 in 12/12 had her first nutes today-Bio Bloom. Dunno whether she liked it or not-she didn't suddenly produce a 12g bud of the finest quality for me to smoke on the spot but she didn't keel over and die either.
All is Good.

Time for bed said Zebedee... BOING!

fecking 'ell that last pic got me all excited

maybe nxt months Cream o the Crop entry?
nice work fella

Peace
Chop

EDIT- well if the pic was larger

Nothing to do with growing but i thought you might like this-me in tasmania...


FB

Good work mate,not sure about the Tasmanian slasher though

Mithrandir.

Whats with the new av Mith??? Last one was loads better.

I stumbled on This and found it quite intriguing ,if you read to the bottom of the page then click on galleries....

Weird Mith mate but yes intriguing.

VRG-I check her for bannana's and mites daily mate. You can't be too carefull.

FB

BLOODY HELL. VRG if i'd known the Triffid was gonna take 10 weeks i'd have stuck them out in the garden.

Not a lot to report yet today as lights aren't on yet, i'll take some pic's later as the little seedlings were getting a bit of a spurt on yesterday. Triffid looks same as before but 6" taller. SK#1 looks smashing.

FB

Thanks for the praise for my 'macro' shots peeps.
Anyhow.


Today.


Been busy today potting up my SK#1 clones as they were poking through the bottom drain holes.

Can't decide whether i should try these outside???

Whaddayareckon??

I have quite a nice sunny private spot in my garden...

Nice showing of your bits dear...

Nicely into next pot full of Allmix...

Old pot removed, rootball planted in, watered, now back under the lights.

My NL seedlings are coming along nicely now.

Day 4...

As are the BGxWR seedlings...

They will have to be potted on in the next few days-earliest i can will be sunday.

Looking good though...
