Here's some pics and info on 5 NLxHazes that i'm growing in compost.

Nirvana screed:


So far this strain has been very easy to grow! My compost growing skills are a bit green and I found a batch of blueberrys tricky, with lots of casualties. Blueberry doesnt like too much nutrients and appears to be a lot more sensative to water quality than this lot. This strain is much more forgiving and the grow has been plain sailing even with my cruddy tap water.

Germination: 100% (just a little soak then straight into seedling compost)

Rooting: They took 1-2 weeks to out-root the starter pots they were in, and the root formation is very healthy. Many little root shoots were thrown and start right from the top of the compost.

Vegging: Vegetative growth has been good and steady under envirolites. All plants have shown excellent development of new heads. After a week or two they started looking ready for feed and have been on full strength nutrient schedule as recommended by biobizz without signs of over-fertilisation.

Structure/phenos: Although the strain is meant to be sativa dominant it doesnt look it!
All started out with heavey set indica style leaves, thick stems and squat stature, however some of them are now getting quite lofty and they apper to be taking a slightly sat'y appearance with longer and spikier leaves and are on the whole leaner. The taller ones look to have a slight hue to the leaf colour.

Two of the five are so short it's unbelievable, their bracts are virtually growing on top of each other. I guess these ones are leaning towards Northern Lights rather than Haze.
Smellwise they are all quite fragrant and each seems to have a slightly different scent some almost earthly and some quite fruity.

Thats about it for now, some pics follow and an update when they go into the hot room!


Surfacing:
[attachmentid=49368]

A week later:
[attachmentid=49369]

At four weeks:
[attachmentid=49370]

Extremes (they both have the same number of bracts!):
[attachmentid=49371]

The tall one:
[attachmentid=49372]

And the shorty:
[attachmentid=49373]

I'm not sure whether this rpt was good idea, looks like nirvana get sniffed at a lot ah well... I'll finish what i started.
It'd be good to get hold of some propa sensi seeds to compare sometime, though i've got a feeling the hefty price tag they carry only really covers the brand name and the feeling that you're getting something superior because it costs so much.

The only thing maybe nirvana are happy to bang out a variety without taking the time to hone the quality to that of other breeders.

Anywhichway: on with the chavy seeds...

Pre-flowers appeared after about 5-weeks and of the 5, 2 are definatly fem but it's hard to tell with the other 3 so i'll give them a bit longer.
so far so good!


These are the fems (the shortest two from the last pics) at 5 weeks:
[attachmentid=50290]

And a couple of pics of em showing their growth over the last week:
[attachmentid=50289]

nice report ergot - keep it going.
Nirvana seeds do get a slagging ya right - including from me! But quite a few people have had good results from them and I hope this applies to you mate.
So far they are looking good.

Ta duck, thanks for the comments I thought the tumble weed was a blowin in ere!

fd is the tumbleweed mate

I quite liked a Blue Mystic pheno a mate of mine grew out - nice & fruity in taste, but needed a lot more in the potency dept.

thanks!

Ok well my fingers are crossed, but i've only got the two fems to choose from. i'll see how these two pan out, then might either do the the rest of the pack or get some others on the go.

So did your mate get one good pheno from 10 seeds?

Couple of packs iirc - yet it still lacked in potency. Which is what it's all about imo.
