Almost a week from potting and they are starting to take. The seeds germinated 100% but a few of them didn't survive the first few days. I lose (3) [HB x CC] X Ak47, (3) ChemD x Ak47, (1) AK47, (1) SSH, (1) SSH x BB, (1) [G13 x NCDG] X NH. I did have three extra sprouts of SSH and Z11 X NH to repot.
I'm running a heating pad under the pots and the temp at the soil level is 80º.

This morning I replanted the seeds that didn't make it. I really want to grow out those AK hybrids and having only 2 of each was an invitation to a disaster as far as sex goes.

The others are going great.

Little seedlings are looking good...were looking good, until I topped them all at the second or third node. Going to try for short, compact sativas.
Started a bunch of indica seeds (Afghani Dream x BOG Medley hybrid fems) that will end up outdoors in a month. I may not have a place for them but someone will.

Also I'm starting 10 seeds of a purple pheno [AD x BOG Med] x Neville's Haze. Not feminized, I will run these indoors until they sex and maybe turn a couple out to see how that works out too.

Sounds like some amazing strains you got there all the Neville crosses caught my attention. Will definitely be following your grow.

thanx truepunk
I do have seven or eight other grow logs here. One is from the Mr Nice Seeds Neville's Haze that I used to cross-pollinate these hybrids. Same with the blueberry and Super Silver Haze crosses. The AK47 I did grow out before (and logged here) but these hybrids and the F2 came from an on line seeds swap.

I've followed a few of your grows...the bubblegum was a good one too, but was still just learning so I never commented. Never saw the Neville haze one thou.... gonna read that now.

Here's a link to 2010 Spring grow log with the SSH crosses and Neville's Haze.

WEEK THREE

Sativas are looking ok after topping though some early leaves are nute burned from the hot soil. New growth is looking better. 32 total sativa seedlings. First light feeding of Fish emulsion, molasses and root innoculant.

20 total new indica seedlings in cups now.

Have been pumping out the grow room for the past week or more (flooding). In spite of the high humidity and low temps the T-5 fixture is keeping the plants at 80º without the heating mat. No sign of molds or mildew, I'm letting the plants go a little drier than usual between watering.
