but im not one to be the bad news bear, because only time will tell! all my god's gift runts that were poorly treated at a young age turned female, and vigorous.

the rooters are awesome IMO. comes w/ a tray for cheap, and everything from seeds to clones love rooting in those. just have to keep them moist, sometimes 2-3 times a day. i dont use the paper towel method, although it does indeed work. i just soak the seeds overnight and pop them in the rooters just barely under the top, and within 4 days they are ready for a transplant

oh and i will update my log in a little bit with some new pics.. i chopped 4-5 small buds off of pilav and they are drying for an early sample. about 5-6 days left for sure, but I am glad that I didnt pick early, she has really fattened up. the smell is insane, kind of like a really sweet/tangy/sticky eucalyptus smell. like THC mixed with pineapple juice.


good luck buddy!
I checked on the bagbeans a bit ago, and they appear to have grown a bit more. I will keep my eye on them, and keep my fingers crossed. As it may be awhile before I can afford an indoor setup, I need to get as much as possible from the outdoor growing season. I will definitely have to try those RRs - you have me sold. I almost ordered some yesterday, but got sidetracked. I am almost out of Jiffy pellets anyway.

I can't wait for a smoke report on Pilav, my friend! I know she is going to lock you deep into your couch! Be good out there!

So how are the bag seed babies doing? And your PPP is strill thriving right?
You'll have to look back in the thread a bit to see some pictures of the bagbeans - they are doing really well. But, the PPP got snapped in 1/2, so she is gone.

I needed to let the taproots grow on the BBL and CRH a bit more before putting them in the Jiffy pellets, and I think I kept the Jiffy pellets a bit too wet; but, I was going/gone out of town, so I took a chance.

Glad to see all of your ladies doing so well, luna! Take good care out there!

Bugs, dogs, storm, hikers and hazards like that is nothing to worry about.
We worry about ventilation, temperature, humidity, electricity and poisonous grow tents instead. :P

Anyway, excellent work and some well earned buds in your jars. :stoned:

Indoor growing for me is a bit intimidating at this point. Having to control the temperature and humidity, while dealing with electricity trouble me a bit. We'll see if I am able to jump in and swim at some point later this year. I am sure I will be following your notes carefully, and am glad you are so generous to share with us all.

I am glad to see you have your tent situation under control, and hate you had the problem to begin with. I look forward to seeing all of your ladies grow to be large and in charge.

That is a good question, Markass. I actually planted the 1 bean on a whim, as I ran across it in my dugout, being the only bean within a really sweet strain (Mighty Freeze) which a good friend so kindly bestowed upon me. It was blind luck finding the bean, and I had some good luck in growing it out to harvest.

Since my luck was so good with the 1 lucky bean, I have caught the growing bug, and have 3 new lil' ladies out by the pool. I also have some PPP, Bubblelicious, and Red Colombian Haze beans, of which I have 1 of each germinating now in an attempt to get 1 last grow in this season. It stays really warm where I am, so I think I can squeeze another grow in outside before moving in to try my hand at the indoor operation.

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to drop by anytime. The door's always open.
