Michael Luchóg Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi folks ,hope you're well . Just like to say thanks to Tommy and Jaypp for the beans and hope I can do them justice .Already I see some lovely plants and fantastic diaries ,so I know I'm not in the first division but it's just a bit of fun . A week ago I put four San Fernando lemon kush and two ice cool beans into water .The San Fernando beans popped a bit quicker than the others but they all shed their shells . Shortly after I took this picture I clumsily hit the stool and knocked everything to the floor . I couldn't find the two ice cool seedlings ,they were a tad behind the others but anyway I scooped the compost back up and dropped two more ice cool pips into water .In the meantime the first two showed again in the pots, so no losses . I'm just waiting for the latter two ice cool to show and they can go in with the others ,under a 600w HPS ,because that's what I'm using to veg at the moment and keep a few little autos .It's over specified but my other lights are for the flower space ,and that's tight ,an attic with barely over 1.1 m headroom to the apex . In there I have a 250w HPS and a 315 cmh bulb .There's a standard oscillating fan ,a desk fan and a 6" stealth hyper fan with insulated duct ,finicky ,messy ducting but it doesn't degrade like plastic. The filter is bigger ,8" so I've a reducer taped between it and the extract. I'm using an electric blanket and a tube heater .The attic is also over specified with insulation and its very hot and stuffy on a still day especially ,but it's a good complaint. The restricted height means I've to keep plants as prostrate or bushed as I can . Lots of bending and kinking ,half breaking stems ! If a plant is very woody though I sometimes feed with liquid silicon ,or mares tail gooey water mix .Definitely makes stems more malleable . For feed I'm using seaweed extract and another garden centre feed for veg but I need to get a bottle of nutrient for flowering . I'm using plain riddled peat for a medium ,with a few fists of mychorizial fungi through it . That's it for the moment really . Take it easy 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Luchóg Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 @vortex, @Sweet Seeds -Jaypp ,and Serpent ,thanks fellas ,good stuff looking forward to breaking dry flowers already . This morning I took a few pictures .The last two ice cool are just about to open their leaves ,maybe tomorrow ,so they're a week behind the other seedlings . Some campanula I shoved into a wall last year ,and flowering currant breaking into leaf . Still under a 600w for now . 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highgrower Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Im a fan of the campanula - looks good growing over old logs and branches. Gotta say looks happier than the seedlings at the moment as they all look like they are a bit bendy - pretty much like my current lot as well which just went weird and all need support at the moment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Luchóg Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks folks ,that's a fine tuft there Vince . I don't know what I did with my sticker .I was going to stick it to something ,ah well ,a tattoo might suffice . Anyhoo ,after a few more days under the 600w they grew a little .Except the last two that germinated ,one wouldn't shed her shell and grew tall, and the other looks like damping off hit it .Gas eh ,no certainties in anything . The square pots are holding the San Fernando Lemon kush and the ice cool are in the round .. Later folks ,hasta luego , tot ziens, tschuss , wela i chi ,au revoir ,slán go foill ,etc . 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Luchóg Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks Punts ,all the best . The plants got moved up a pot size today . To keep the two varieties apart I used three ,2.5 litre pots for the ice cool and four ,3.5 litre pots for the San Fernando lemon kush . I topped three or four plants at the second or third node . The flowering room is tight so I'm trying to keep them squat ,and prostrate . No flash on the camera ,and a shaky hand ! Take it easy 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openairbud Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Nice start there micheal, must admit the lemon kush sounds delicious. All the very best of luck in the comp 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resonance Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi @Michael Luchóg Great choice of strains, Wishin' you all the best with them buddy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Luchóg Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 @Resonance & @Openairbud ,Thanks fellas . They may be delicious ,so I'll keep a clone or two for luck . They got a watering tonight ,and I changed the light to a 250w metal halide because my electricity bill was crazy ! The weather is easterly and very cold .Tomorrow I'm going to turn the intake off ,and just use a small fan with a vent open to allow some fresh air in . I don't usually use an intake and at the moment it's a hinderance ,and not a necessity . Four San Fernando lemon kush . Three Ice cool . Take it easy folks . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
