PETEnSKEET: First grow for the Dynamic Duo

Hey all,

This is kind of an introduction and the beginnings of a new grow log.

PETEnSKEET is a combo of two existing board members, SocialistPete and ElSkeetro. Some of you may know us. and some of you may know that we have a little hydro hobby group in our area.

Pete found some seeds he had forgotten for a bit. We have no clue what they are. Pete says he got them from a friend from Amsterdam, maybe from the Sensi Seed line.

Anyways. At this point there are 6 unknown seeds in a papertowel waiting to crack.

that's all for now!

Thanks.
Skeet

goodluck dudes :thumbsup:

This is Pete like skeet said a friend went to the cup and brought back a bunch of mixed seeds. I totally forgot about them till last night when skeet was over at the pad. We might also do a little breeding with some of the males that pop hopefully stinky will give us some good advice on breeding.:):):):):)

good luck! i'm excited to see what beans turn into! I think stinky will tell ya enough about breeding you might just change you're mind. lol

Just a quick update. 4/6 are cracked and showing a beefy lil' taproot. Rapid rooters, here we come.

(GOD! why are grow logs from seed SOOOO BORING!?!?!)

haha. woo!

Skeet.

subscribed....even though it is a little dull right now! j/k. i can't wait for the action guys. good luck!

Yeah this is going to be Super Lame until we have 50 posts to put pictures up.

which is partially the purpose of this update.

The 4 that cracked are all in Rapid rooters and poking their heads up.

i haven't checked the last 2 to see if they cracked yet (oops!)

lazy...
SKeet.

Ok. still not that interesting but i need to raise the post count for this name.

5/6 of the seeds made it this far. Can't wait to see some distinguishable traits.

pics to follow.

look!

Finally some damn pictures I thought I was going to have to come over to see those. God I hope there not Sativas.:(

-Pete

Oh yeah, we totally need an avatar.

now this thread is starting to heat up! lol. how are the sprouts coming?

-shake

Well here they are in their veg home (for now...)

I gave them all numbers so we can start taking notes and keeping track.

It's a kitty litter pan (clean of course) with 2 gallons of pH 5.9 tap water with 1 drop of Superthrive and a small shot of Hydrozyme. Each rapid rooter is in a 3" net pot, which i just "transplanted" into 6" pots. Each 6" pot is sitting directly on top of a 5" airstone and the bubbles are just rippin' away.

The #6 you see in the pics is a whole 'nother thing. I bought my wife a vase of flowers a while ago. I threw some grow rocks in there then arranged the roses for display. After the roses died my wife put the vase on the kitchen counter to be cleaned with some dirty dishes. A couple days later i went to clean it out and there was a 2" seedling sitting in the grow rocks!!! I haven't bought weed in forever so i don't think it's bagseed. None of my plants have had seeds (as far as i know...i'm very familiar with each of my buds). One possibility is a random carpet bean. We just tore up our living room carpet and I refinished the hardwood floors. Maybe it was hiding under the couch and got tossed about in all the ruckus. Anyways. IF IT SURVIVES...and if i can get it to be a sweet smoke...I will be naming it either "Immaculate Conception" or "Mother Mary"...Those names aren't taken yet right?

ok here comes pics on my skeetro acct.

thanks!
Skeet.

pics!

Well now I am subscribed ... assuming the avatar comes in ...

kidding guys! things are looking good. I can't wait to see what comes of "mother mary"


-secret

Cool!!!Four hands are better than two,lol...Very healthy lookin' seedlings fellas...:jointsmile:

SUBSCRIBED

Damn Skeet they look good!!! They're alive!!! I didn't know you could draw, those are a good likeness of us.

Hail Mary mother of god I've got a whole host of angels shufflin' in my ipod.

Here they are today. #2 seems to be leading the pack. is it true that males tend to grow faster and more vigorously? i dunno where i heard that but it's always in the back of my mind.

enjoy!

i haven't read any facts on the subject, but from peoples posts etc. it does seem that the males do grow bigger, faster.

Maybe if the males we get are indica we can cross it with the rhino, no offense I just don't like waiting 3 months for bud.

Watch yourself Pete. I'm SUPER offended. I was hoping we could INCREASE the flower time to hopefully 6 months. I really only want 1 or 2 harvests this year.

haha. just kidding (obviously...)

i plan on crossing all our shit every which way. gimme the dense nugs, 8 weeks, and low height of the NLxS1, gimme the weight of the Rhino, and hopefully these new chicks will add some sex appeal, and maybe a quicker finish.

Skeet.

Scootypuff got his order in so Aero here we come. Can you link me to the thread about breeding we were talking about?

Right on! Tell Scootypuff to get his ass on the boards.

here's the link to the breeding thing i started. no replies in quite a while so i don't expect much more: http://boards.cannabis.com/growing-i...ml#post1952252

And here's an interesting bit from Stinky about mom and pop selection:
http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...ml#post1820481

Other than that...the seedlings are doing A-OK. 2 and 5 are the furthest along. the rest are coming along at their own pace.

As far as #6 (the mystery seed not from this mystery pack) it's still growin, but the stem is pretty weak looking, dunno if it's gonna make it. Also i did some research to make sure "mother mary" wasn't an already existing strain. I had never heard it, but i guess that "mother mary" is a blanket term for marijuana right up there with ganja and maryjane...so i don't think that's a viable name. maybe it'll die and i won't have to worry about it...

I'll post more pics tonight or tomorrow.

skeet.

I forgot how much I hate growing from seed:( Thats why even though I like going up to get new strains its just almost not worth to have to go through all the hassle and desperation.

Well here we are just about 2 weeks after Pete gave me the seeds. As you can see, all 5 are doing well. 2 is still far ahead of the others. Everyone is working on their 3rd set of leaves. I'm battling pH at the moment. Last night it was at 6.8 (after a long battle the previous day) i brought it down to 5.8 and this morning it was back to 6.5. grrrrrrr.

anyways, they don't seem to be that pissed about it. guess i'll keep fighting the good fight until it evens out.

can anyone see any discernible traits? Most leaves are looking indica to me.

sweet.
skeet.

more...including my veggies and ScrOG not related to this log.

1: all 5 seedlings in perspective.

2: my veggin rhinos. The little guy will be pulled and 2 NLxS1 will be added once they root a little more.

3: NLxS1 SCROG - it's just about 2 weeks flowering. It's covered about half the screen and i'm hoping it'll keep stretching to fill the whole thing.

4: Rhino SCROG - What a miracle! Due to neglect in veg this poor lass suffered some serious root rot. This is week 3 in flower and she has fully recovered and is back on track. I cut off all the bad roots then dosed her with hygrozyme, h2o2, and superthrive and a week later she had MASSIVE white roots and was back to business.

5: The underside of the NLxS1. I've been trying to tuck the fan leaves under te screen as opposed to cutting them, but sometimes i gotta do some thinning.

Skeet.

looking good fellas!

-shake

Shit I cant believe those seeds made it!!!!!!:thumbsup: Grow babies grow!

I'd like to come over and see the scrog myself, now that I'm unemployed i have all the time in the world!

im hooked!

very nice ladys u got growing there

plus K to every1

Very professional looking scrog grow...Nice work fellas...:thumbsup:

To clear things up the SCROG is all skeet. After we determine sex some will stay and some will come to my place.:thumbsup:

cant wait to see what the grow will look like in the future i'm subscribed.

wow they look great as ever.:thumbsup:

Alright! here we go. They're starting to look like real plants! #2 has secondary growth coming in. They look a little droopy, kinda wrinkly/twisty, a little spotty. What do you all think? Could definitely be pH, still fightin' that pretty hard. I think i need to clean/pre-soak my rocks better.

pics...NOW!
