Jerry Garcia's Blue Widow, Blue Apollo, and Mystery Seed From Start to Finish
The package has arrived from Hemp Depot very discreatly and well protected from damage, I got 10 Blue Widow and 10 Blue Apollo seeds from Joey Weed.
The Blue Widow is obviously Blueberry (Male) x White Widow (Female F2) according to the info on the web site.
The Blue Apollo is a Cross of Blueberry (Male) x Apollo 11 (Female), Apollo 11 is a Cross of "Genius" From Brothers Grimm (Male) x C99 (Female) again according to the web site.
I am also growing out the rest of my mystery seeds from Holland a ways back hopefully they are not to old.
Just place 5 BW, 6 BA, and 5 Mystery seeds in damp paper towels and placed in individual zip lock baggies and placed them under my cable box for warmth.

I was going to do an outdoor grow this summer but when it came time to move them I realized that there was no way to keep someone from seeing me move them to my vehical and got cold feet, I don't need anyone to see that and start getting suspicious when there is none to begin with and I want to keep it that way. So I took some cloans for moms and basicaly put them in suspended animation untill another time.
I decided to get some more genes going and try this Joey weed brand that are highly recomended on this site and some of the cleanest true genetics out there from what I have read, and you can't beat the price at $50.00 each @ 10 beans each. Seems to be the only Breeder that wants to keep the original genes going and only crosses with the best of the best and prides himself in doing that. Plus only charging 50 bucks and being consistantly sold out of the pure strains ( WW, AK, and others ) tells me this is the real thing and he just wants to sread the genes and cover his expences while not charging $200.00 + like some other breaders.
For heat reasons I moved my grow box to the basement and put in a better exaust system with a 180 CFM in line fan and I upgraded my light hood to a aircooled hydrofarm hood. This is then exausted to the outside so all the bulb heat will be immediatly removed from the grow box and the plants will remain at around 65 to 75 degree range.
Thanks for the rep SnStelth This grow should turn out to be my best yet now that I got some really good genetics. It is going to be tough to outdo my last grow though.
I am going to set my goal high for this grow since I passed my last grows goal of 2 Lbs. So I am going to shoot for 2.5 Lbs of dried Ganja. This is probably a little premature setting this due to it is going to be difficult to do this from seed, using new genetics that I have not grown yet, and I don't know the Female/Male ratio yet. BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL:)
Zeb Thanks for subscibing you should be pleased to hear that with this grow and I am looking to buy a Real Digital Camera (12.2 MP) that will except my print camera lenses soon. In fact I am shopping for one online right now so everone will be able to see some supurb macro shots this time around.
Well I will be giving an update in about 24 hrs on the status of the beans.

Well everything is going extreamly well.
Blue Widow, 5 out of 5 beans popped, Blue Apollo 5 out of 6 beans popped, Mystery Seeds 4 out of 5 beans popped.
All are currently in 2.5 x 2.5 starter pots and under my 175w MH.

No sprouts yet,
I feel I did pretty good, 14 cracked beans out of 16 the other 2 don't look like they are going to pop as the have not swollen, infact they look kind of shrivled. I am going to stay at 14 to start this grow and hope my female ratio is high with 7 or 8. I have space for 9 max, but that makes it cramped in the grow box duing flowering.
I am going to be using the Fox Farm nute program this grow again but I won't need that for around another 1.5 to 2 weeks. My soil mix for this grow is Miracle Grow Organic Choice soil (1 bag mixed with 1 bag of Miracle Grow perilite). Thats It!!
I try to keep it cheap and it works!!! I don't see the need for the Super Expensive FF soils if I can get over 2 lbs using the same mix last grow. In fact I am not going to change a thing this grow and see if I get the same results.
Well that is about it for todays update I will more than likely have srouts in the morning.

Hey man, good to have you back . I checked out the strains you chose and they are going to shine under your green thumb ;)
Pro mix all so makes a good (cheap) organic mix that you might want to check out one grow.
Peace:thumbsup:

JG, it looks like we're in for one helluva ride on this log! I can't wait to see those lil' ladies take form. It sounds like they should be super sweet! I have had the opportunity to taste Blueberry a few times, and it is a smooth bud. I have not seen/tasted any crosses of it, and the strain crosses you identified above sound super appealing.
Good luck on your grow! Be good out there!

All right I f*cked up!!!
I went to check my seedlings this morning and had 5 breaking the soil and I was happy. Expecting more when I got home today and there were only 5 healthy sprouts again and no sign of more. So I started to inspect the pots for any signs of growth when I noticed a seed mixed in with the loose parilite. The seeds came out of their holes duing initial watering!!
So currently I have 3 Blue Widows and 2 Mystery seedlings going. THANK GOD ALL IS NOT LOST!!!! I do have reserve:) I am about to germinate 5 more Blue Apollo, 2 Blue Widow, and I just went thru my seed box and remembered I have some BC Big Bud seeds that were gifted to me. So they sound like a great replacement for my 3 mystery seeds. Just hope they have some quality behind them I never smoked the mama so this is going to be a shot in the dark.
Well I got to get these seeds going I keep you updated.

I have many little ways to germinate. I use a warm place to heat the soil (and I'll cover the soil with paper towel or saran wrap to keep the moisture stabilized. Either of these would help with them seeds gettin "stranded" out of their soil. Anyway, sounds like you had a close eye on them and everyting gonna be alright.
