Shove,

I am starting to think of strains for my next grow. Bubblegum Is one of the strains I am concidering. I know it is not in this log but I was wondering where you got the seeds from?

Thanks JG

Local hook up. I had clones from a commercial pot dealer and then he got hot and split but left a bag of seeds, which I abused (planted by the 100s and gave many away) and no longer have any. I did inbreed a couple of plants for my own seeds though. I'm sure the Serious Seeds genetics are great. I may even get some myself sometime.

In studying your Neville's Haze info.....I have 3 "foundation" haze plants going in soil right now. They are unsexed but I hope to get at least one female from the group.

[Shovelhandle]

I'm hoping for a nice female too. I only have four NH. They are looking very good. Five of the six AKs are looking fine also.

[Weedhound]

I've found the AK's to be pigs.....could not tell you about the NH since mine were crosses but I certainly did appreciate the buzz from them! Turned me into a complete haze fan so I'll be very interested in your NH's.

Yup, I understand that they are good 'eaters'
I think the plan may be to fill my vessel with the fert solution, use 75% of it on the AK, then fill back up to 2/3 full with water and feed the Neveille's Haze. Adjust from there. I water twice to every one feeding. Right now it's every three days or more and only a little over one gallon. Later on with more mature plants and 5-6 gallon pails it's more like 4 gallons every two days.

Week four. Plants do not seem to be transpiring very much water. I water generously and four days later they are all still pretty wet. I was used to 4 gallons every two days while flowering the last grow. Now I'm using about one gallon every five days. The temp is 80º. Some plants have a little yellowing, due to the wet condition. I'm letting them dry out before I water again, but they are looking pretty good though. I have a couple of midgets, that happens. I'm also running an exhaust fan today as the grow room temp is warmer than outdoors, so exhausting the grow room air will pull in fresh outdoor air.

Here's the AK-47s

Here's the Neville's Haze

Plants dried out pretty well. I had to water as I'm going away for a couple of days so I fed them the Technaflora vegative stage nutes;
B.C Boost
B.C Grow
Thrive Alive B-1 Red
MagiCal
SugarDaddy

The AKs got the recommended strength and the Haze got 1/3 strength. I also foliar sprayed with B-1 Green with a drop of dish detergent.

Five of the six AKs were FIMed, one had to be LSTed so it wouldn't grow into the light while I'm gone.

Except for one small AK all the plants are thriving.

Looking good Shove:thumbsup:

That one AK is a real runt, it is dwarfed by the others, she looks like 2 weeks behind untill you enlarge the picture. Maybe she will turn just turn into one giant bud:rastasmoke:
