Thanks for tuning in. For Christmas I hope to be trying out the AK-47 and decorating the Neville's Haze. <G>
Only four or five seeds have broke ground. I was thinking that the soil temp was too high so I moved the T-5s 6" off the soil. I decided that I wanted to have a better choices when I go to cull them (remembering that my last grow was 100% feminized) So, I am starting another two seeds of each. Sorry ifn I don't make good sence, good herbs!
Shov....great strains, i would love to grow some AK47....maybe next year....Good luck whit this grow...I'll be watching....:thumbsup:
I forgot to mention, I had new lamps delivered from HTG along with a fresh supply of nutes.
The lamps are (4) T5HO54W in the 'grow' spectrum. The cost was reasonable, $5 a lamp. I was quoted $10 at the electrical supply I deal with, so this is great.
The nutes are Technaflora, an organic nute system. Again, I bought the 'starter kit' with all the nutes for a couple of grows and includes a calmag product, clone gel, a root system feed, a carb product, two B1 formulas, the Boost, Grow and Flower formulas, and a flower suppliment - Awesome Blossoms. And as if that wasn't quite enough, I also have GH products' TopMax and Superthrive. JEES! I guess I won't need any Neptune fish/kelp emulsions for this grow.
Stay tuned, I'll post weekly pics even though the first weeks are usually not very impressive.
Thanks, Shov
Not much to photograph, or talk about. The seeds didn't 'pop' as quickly as usual. I had the T-5HO lamps a few inches away and the soil temp got to 95º. In teh past I used 32 watt T-8s to start the seeds. So, I did raise the lamps about 6"-8" and air the fan right across the pots. Temp went down to 80º. Surprising as the ambient is constant 70º. I guess I forgot how warm the T-5s can get. Anyway, there are 4 or five up and I added another 2 of each the other day.
On a positive note I keep getting nice buds from the curing jars. Still a few more plants that I haven't tried yet.

Glad to hear you have a few jars left.
I am going to cut it close with my stash. I hope I don't have to go out and get some with around 8 or more weeks to go in my grow.
Good catch on on the pots getting to warm, that could of been a bummer of a mistake.

Subscribed, as usual! Look forward to your holiday gro's. The info comes thru and it is nice to know you are enjoying your prev. gro while doing it. I am afraid I'll screw up, if I toke and talk! Understand you well.
Christmas in Vermont, I think that is a movie, without any plants in it, tsk!
Hope you get lots of hairy nugs! pr:jointsmile:
This looks nice, i envy your setup a bit i must admit.
Good luck with the new ladies im outs for bed...
I've tasted some AK47 grown by a friend of mine, and I know you will have much success with it too. I am also interested in following your NH - I've got a Colombian Red Haze out by the pool; it's a cross of Colombian Red with NH. It's about 16 days into veg now, and I feel certain I will have to create an indoor setup into which to bring it so it will be able to finish. She is a long, lean gal, but that 20% THC content is too dang tempting to pass up. I know you will do great things with your NH. Take good care up there, my friend!
You are definitely going to have a nice and sticky Christmas this year(G) AK47 is on my too long "strains I want to try" list. I have always been intimidated by the idea od an indoor grow but you and others do make it look so easy.
This morning I planted the last 3 of each kind of seeds. So, that will be all ten of each AK-47 and Neville's Haze. I had that heat problem early on that boiled a few of the sprouts before they cound even break the soil. But now I at least have a few of each looking very nice and healthy. If I can get these six to grow I should have plenty to cull some males and still have a full house. Hopefully, I will be able to keep a couple of nice males to seed a bud or two for future grows. I will try and get a photo up on Wednesday.

Hey Danish, What about the set-up do you like? It's cardboard sheets with shiny mylar and covers about a meter² area. Pretty small area but decent kinds should produce 400-500gm/meter². And cultivation can be a heavy rap.
