Miss Stinky's First Grow Log =p

I think green tea is much better for you than coffee even though it still has caffeine. I used to work at a Korean-owned steakhouse and my boss told me that every day you should drink green tea, and eat fresh raw ginger and garlic, and a teaspoon of sesame seeds for your health.

Weedman, thanks! Pics are coming up tomorrow once I charge the batt on my camera.

I'm ordering a HPS 600 from InsideSun today and toying with the idea of going to a SOG perpetual setup using 6x6x8 pots on tray tables. I have to think aout it some more. The 3-gallon buckets are a pain to lug up the stairs and move around, not too bad, but enough, and I am having a hard time keeping the canopy even.

We'll see. It will be easier once I pick out a few good moms and have an endless supply of cloned to work with.

Hey, if you can call me stink in a tick, I'm going to have to start calling you MERDE de vert!!!! :D

I've gotta run but everyone have a good evening and enjoy the good herb.

Are you doing a 600 digital? Please consider it if you havent already. Cooler temps, less energy, more lumens...horah!

I want some pictures!!! Sounds like you have quite a list, love to see some of em.

You're going to laugh at me but I actually WANT more heat. Right now at least...brr.
I was kinda surprised the the 600 at Inside Sun is so pricey comapred to other lights... I might go see if the guy at my fave growshop, Liquid Sun in Holyoke MA has any used trade-ins. And if he has any more habanero pepper seeds!!!! Mmmm! Everyone LOVES peppers.
Okay, here's some pics.
#1 is the papaya kids at however long it's been since I started the thread.
#2 is a BOG unknown at only 10 weeks.... thing is vigorous, lol. To her right in that pic is my pretty little afghani girl gettin' frosty.
#3 is those godbud x dreamweaver freebies. They've sent me like 60 seeds so far and I have to say they look pretty good, so who's complaining? :D
#4 is a tomato plant and some hot peppers that got ravaged by aphids last week. Fuckers.
#5 is my growing seed collection. The 'foxy' packets in the bottom L corner are my own design.. kind of putting the cart before the horse, but I got stoned and creative and made the woodcut for it- all without cutting any fingers off! I'll post a better pic of the design if anyone's interested. A couple peeps will be seeing it soon enough anyway.

So in the mail yesterday I got some more beans from seedbay and seedboutique:
Hashberry
Moroccan x Afghan
Purple Star (started last night, in dirt this morning!!! Wow!)
Bogglegum F2s
Spice of Life seconds.. supposed to be Sweettooth 3&4 and Blockhead

Then freebies....
MORE godbud x rofl
More stonehedge
More gypsys gum
and AKITA... it's supposed to be (annac x stakonia) can't find info on either. But I moistened them last night. BIG healthy spotty beans that look like they are gonna be some real hardhusks like the white rhinos.

I'm expecting something from Rushman this week too... we'll see if he still had what I wanted in stock!!! Can't wait.

Oh, the pest infestation is under control. Phew. No damage to the cannabis, but my peppers are hurtin'.

I really enjoy your thread. Keep up the good work.

Peace
:smokin:

Thanks Hemlock!!!
Well last night I had a look at the most recent acquisitions and as expected, the Purple Star popped and the Akita did not, so I took the seeds out of the vial and scraped along the root edge with the blade of my pruning shears... sure enough, this morning, I've got evidence of germination! Wow, those were some big gnarly tough beans. I hope they have a tough plant inside! :D

Sweet grow! Hopefully my Papaya's luck is as good as yours,but I only have a 400w hps for flowering. I am also growing Bubblicious, so I have 4 Papaya and 4 Bubblicious about 11 days old. I had planted a KB seed I got from a friend and it showed signs of germination but never grew once in soil. Ohwell. Heres my babies.

Well, it's time!
My 2 month seed-to-forcing schedule is right on track.
Some space opened up in the flower room over the weekend and I put the 3 largest Papayas in flower this morning!
:D
Let the countdown begin!

Hey Weed4Life, you're going to have a much higher watt-per-sq foot number than me, I've got 35-40 cannabis plants plus a bunch of garden vegetables under only 2x400 bulbs in the flower room right now! Don't worry, you'll get buds.

...during my first grow...I transplanted from 4 to 6, to 8 and then 10 inch pots for flowering. I love transplanting (gives me a chance to see the roots)...but I have read, this is not needed? opinions? Go directly to 10 inch?

I think a good grower should be able to transplant without shocking the plants at all.
I also like to look at root development, and pat myself on the back when I nail the transplanting time... lots of roots showing, but not real rootbound yet.
IMHO the most efficient use of space in an indoor grow is to keep the canopy as full as possible... so keep the plants in small containers until they are just busting at the seams! Well not THAT long... :D
I just don't want to walk into my grow room and see DIRT in between the leaves. Just solid, leafy green. I've even been a very bad bad girl and put 2 plants in the same big bucket for flowering if the plants are too scraggly and runty. Spank me!!! :p
