badbillybob Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hello again southerners, well just so I can look back, when my old memory fails, tonight I soaked the beans, yay!! Im gonna soak them, put them in kitchen roll and into a takeaway container, and let the tap roots get a decent length before punting them into pots for a couple of weeks. I was thinking about 5 litre pots, any opinions.?? I know autos root development in the first couple of weeks is vital to getting decent plants, so if you think 5l is too small for 2-3 weeks veg under 600s then speak now or forever hold your piece. So hopefully they will all sink and sprout for us...…. getting exciting isn't it? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I'm going with 7.5l pots as 5l were to small and 12l to big imo Go a little bigger if you have them mate. May be upto 10l Get those seed germinated and the fun begins Until next week mate All the best Mark.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 auto seeds are in kitchen roll, after being sunk in water for 24 hrs. I was gonna start them indoors for a week or 2 and might yet, but if this warm spell stays, once the tails are out I think im just gonna put them in party cups, and transplant them straight outdoors. would save lugging loads of buckets thru the countryside, and the weather this great this week, meant to be 19 degrees tomorrow ffs. if I do use buckets, ill hit B&Q, thanks I was out today, made up loads of plastic mesh cages, and put them loosely in place with bamboo stakes. its trellis netting, but melts into the surrounding countryside, being green. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbillybob Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 hello again, well most of these seeds eventually showed above ground, Heres some pics for you Also, A word of advice, don't use john innes #1 seedling compost, its utter shite. I should have put these in coco, and will the next time. They will probably need another week before going out. wwxxls and some moby xxls The ones on the left are mobys, the others are cindy jock hacks. Here they are snuggling up to Sherbinskis " the new" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this strain go both ways she's either as @Andromedianhas said small but I have seen other grows (indoors) where she's a beast Thanks for the outdoor update mate All the best Mark.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 every time ive grown it indoors, its turned out to be a beast of a plant. im hoping for more of the same outdoors. its raining heavily up here today, so that should get the soil nicely damp. im gonna put some out soon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a bit ocd about cleaning it. after every grow. I have to make sure there is nothing on the floor, I hoover the place out - the lot... crazy, I know, I have to bleach everything out, clean the insides of the buckets, lids, pipes etc etc. I also have to make sure its completely empty before I will put any water in it, ive had the sponge out before mopping up tiny dribbles in the bottom of the pots etc ha ha . the funny thing is, my indoor grow will produce loads more bud than the outdoor one, but im more excited about the outdoor adventure this year. Nothing better than seeing weed growing in its natural environment. Edited May 21, 2019 by badbillybob 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
