Hi Guys,
I've just ordered some seeds for my first grow. I've got Laughing Buddha coming, which I've read a bit about. Looks like it might be a bit of a challenge but I'm excited to get going. I'll be posting weekly photo updates from germ to harvest, any input would be great!
Would love to hear if anyone has grown this recently? I've read older journals, often incomplete. Also, has anyone had any luck ordering from Bonza Seeds or have I just thrown money away?
Thanks guys!
welcome, Bub! Are you in Australia or NZ?
Hey man I'm in Australia. So I'm kind of expecting my seeds to be picked up by customs :(Quote:

Not sure man, I thought so too. But they charged in £s and delivery in the UK takes 3 days, but it's a couple of weeks to get it out here. Fingers crossed.Quote:

Will update as soon as ready to germ. Getting all the final pieces of the hydro setup tomorrow.
Photos to follow. It's getting exciting!
I'm about to start my first grow too and look forward to your journal!!Quote:

Thanks guys.
Hey Newhigh .. how are the plants coming along? Did you get everything you were looking for?
Hi guys,
Huge apologies. I know how annoying it is when grow journals just stop. I have been moving house so seeds took a backseat for a while. On the upside, I have got them in water to hopefully germ over the next couple of days. After that, into a mini greenhouse setup to get some good roots going.
I've then opted for a 4x4x6 600W MH/HPS grow tent. I felt doing this would be the best option for a beginner.
I will post updates and photos once things get a bit more interesting over the next few days.
Thanks again.
Hey guys, all looking good.
I germed 12 seeds in water for around 48 hours, all of them sank and sprouted. They've been in soil for 36 hours now in a mini greenhouse set up. 4 seedlings are through so far, so high hopes for them all.
2 bubblegum were freebies so not expecting much from them, but I can work with ten plants for sure.
I'll keep you updated as they progress.
Hey guys,
Another small update. 7 seedlings are now through and healthy, giving it a few more days then they'll be under a 600w MH.
Happy growing.
Hey Guys, quick update.
The plants are now under 600w MH. One of them looks like it's going to die, and one hasn't done much. The two free bubblegum seeds Bonza sent were duds, so that leaves me with 8 plants.
They are all looking strong with adult leaves coming through nicely. Watering small amounts of room temp water regularly without drowning them. Once there are a few nodes ill start using small amounts of fertiliser in my feeds.
Any thoughts or questions, ask away!
Happy growing.
I don't think soaking in water is the best. Best is direct in soil. Myself, I put the seeds in a damp paper towel in a plastic baggie on top of my refrigerator (about 80ºF). In 24-48 hours and put them in the soil.
Good luck with the Laughing Buddah, should be great!
