'NORCAL DADDYS GIRL' seeds available very soon ...

regarding Pythium Wilt (which sounds exactly what ya got goin' on there), is primarily caused by the soil being kept too damp ... also, cool, damp soil is really the worst ... Pythium Wilt (damp-off) can get a toehold during the wet towel presoaks, and then worsen once in the soil ... also, a 400-watt HPS is pretty intense for a young seedling, even at a 3-4ft. distances ... early vegging growth is a perfect place to use fluorescents ... also, as with all seedlings, NO nutes for the first two weeks ... NorCal Daddy's Girl, doesn't need heavy feedings ... I recommend 1/2-strength, mild,fertilizer solutions, applied once weekly ... you can always add more, if needed, but she really is a pretty light feeder ... once she gets going. just let her have her head ... she is very hardy, and trouble-free ... and, don't hesitate to ask me questions about her, that's why I'm here :)

IR ,

I think its a real bonus being able to get advice from the seed breeder as you grow their products.
I think you're probably right about the fungas. I thought it might be soil related and switched from Shultz to Promix. But the one plant in Shultz(with extra peat moss ) is doing ok .
I suspect I nute burnt some plants.One has a few leaves with yellow spots going brown and one has some bottom leaves going pale yellow.
I read that worm castings couldn't burn the plants.
I will soon be transplanting to bigger pots from cut off 2 l soda bottles. I plan to use promix mixed with some worm castings.
It looks as if the 3 plants I have will be females. I suppose I'll be happy enough with my small closet grow even with my fungal losses. I really don't have the room for more than 4 plants. I don't want to have any disasters now as I'd like to harvest a crop by May so I can have some campfire smokes while camping.

hey image reaper, i got a question. the seeds sold out at hempdepot so fast i didnt have the chance to get any, so my question is will you be supplying them with anymore seeds soon? also i think i read in another post somewhere you were entering her in competitions, anything happen with that?

if the bottles are clear that would be a mistake, roots dont like light

my NCDG was entered by StinkyAttic, in the New England Nugs & Jugs Cannabis Cup ... a last-minute entry, Stinky took the 4th place Cup, very nice, made me proud :thumbsup: ... to be honest, I think a prime example of her would take high honors in any Cup :thumbsup: ... the 250 seeds distributed, were all I had available (except, of course, a few of my own NCDG seeds, for safeguarding the genetics) ... I was totally wiped out in the northern California wildfires, just a couple weeks before harvest, so I lost about 3 years' work there ... no worries, when shit happens, we just start over ... my share of the proceeds were donated to the MPP (Marijuana Policy Project) organization ... I am one of those 'old-schoolers', :hippy: , that is appalled over the price of MJ and seeds ... although I'm broke, I'm just not into earning money that way ... when my next seedplants are ready, this coming Fall, I am hoping we will have more permissive laws, that may permit me to share the seeds even cheaper ... we'll see what happens in Wash. D.C. ... :smokin:

Reaper is the rice in the bean bag to battle humidity, if so good idea...I too hope to grow some beauties w/ these beans...Indoor and out...

funny, i was just googlin for some info on NCDG and found this thread:D (i luv google)
turns out i was lucky enuf to be gifted with some beans from a recent hermied NCDG (thx WT:thumbsup:)
was lookin for some info on the strain and didnt realize the history here.
Great job IR, and even more exciting is my particular love of the energetic strains!
now, im even more excited to pop a few of these!

I will be sure to start a dedicated log for these beans:pimp:

I'd like to know more about your ncdg 'hermie' ... this is first time I've EVER heard of her switching sex :wtf:... bad girl, bad ! ... I purposely mistreated NCDG plants for 2 years, trying to force a hermie (didn't happen) ... tell me more, please :smokin:
