BeardedBeardiae Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hi folks, hope all your grooms and gardens are healthy. Got to start by bigging up Sweet seeds for starting such a cool comp and being generous enough to send me some seeds. All stuff ive never grown or smoked but am keen to see how they turn out as their Sweet Cheese is absolutely delicious, and easy to grow and has been my highest yeilding plant to date. My plan is to germinate two Cream Mandarins and one SAD and veg for 9 or 10weeks. Will be topping the Cm's to hopefully get4 main colas each taking cuttings along the way. As for the Sad, i was thinking of leaving her natural with maybe a bit of lst and placing her at the front of the room allowing her to spread a bit more. Not to sure if i should top the sad as well and SOG them all, dont really want to SCROG as like to be able to move plants as my room is narrow but can do if needs be. While they are cooking i plan to start one of the kush and flower that alongside a silverak x as(subbie) as they should both be large plants. I have forgone the up till now, trusty moist paper towel method of germination, and gone for the direct to moist, warm coco pellet method. It is also my first time using a heated propagator, brought because my cuttings started to fail due to the weather. The boarded looking face the thermometer says it all about this pic. Two days later. Two CMs saying hi. One day later... The Sad Well it nice to join in with the comp as i have already got loads of entertainment and knowledge from the many diaries that have already started. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokebelch Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) @BeardedBeardiaeWelcome to the competition, it looks like you are off to a flying start, it’s always nice when they are up above the ground. I love the big sea shell, I used to use one of those as an ash tray when I was a smoker. Good luck with your diary dude.

BeardedBeardiae Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks for the welcome @Smokebelch i have recently got a vaporiser but still find myself mostly smoking as i haven't got used to the Mighty yet. Forgot to say about the details of the grow. Single t5 early on then onto a 200w cfl. 600w mh for flower. Johm innes seeling soil mixed with perlite and a little bit of compost Canna terra pro from then on. The seeds were sown last weekend, these pics take us up to Thursday Should have put more perlite in... I did sprinkle a bit of root fungus stuff over the top as i forgot to mix it in with the soil, hopefully it will still help, but it wont be long before potting up and will put more in then. They are coming on well and looking healthy, hopefully things stay that way. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedBeardiae Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Its not fungus it thrips. According to some more knowledgeable people, im annoyed i let it get this bad. Only noticed it when i had plenty of space. I have some spay so will try to get on top of it, and just hope i can keep the babies healthy. Here they are yesterday. And i think the thrips are in there already. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedBeardiae Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 After a busy week last week cleaning the mother room and spaying plants, i have hopefully got on top of the thrips. They are hanging on in isolated spots but definitely like seedlings and seem to make a beeline for them. I have neglected the diary a bit due to this extra work and crimbo creeping up on me, which was a pleasant first, but now i will bring you up to date. Twas the week before Christmas when i sprayed to close to lights on and they didn't like it.... Although this has obvs slowed them a bit the new growth looks healthy and root tips poking out of the bottom of the pot. The Sad on the left true to form, short and stout. The CM on the right was the first to sprout. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas, and wishing you a happy new year. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trichomehi Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 There proper compact seedlings, nice.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedBeardiae Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Cheers @trichomehi After a few days away they have bounced back really well and are looking good i think. I have been watering (with mild seaweed extract) from the bottom as to not disturb the sand but as i have not seen any bugs on getting back i will restart top watering. I will get some closer individual pics up over the next few days. Happy growing 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
