Just a little journal............

[Marc Benson]

Hey Mand. I wonder if your plants are drooping because of too large of an area for too many plants? In the last pic you posted it looks like the outer leaves are drooping more than the center. Could be not enough light plus colder temps the further from the center of the bulb they get. Just a thought.

And Happy Valentines Day! I forgot to say that to you. And I had present all wrapped and ready to send but forgot to! Sorry. Oh well. All it was was an all expenses paid trip to anyplace you wanted to go. :dance:

Marc Benson Reviewed by Marc Benson on 02-15-2006. Just a little journal............ I hope no one minds me doing a little grow journal right from the begining this time :) Well I've geminated sixteen sensi skunk #1 seeds, all have germinated and they have been potted and are now showing. In total this took four days. I've put them in the growroom under a MH bulb that is running on a eigthteen and a half / five and half cycle. Ok now it's the boring bit..........waiting :rolleyes: My whole grow will consist of, germinating, potting, re -pottting to bigger pots, Rating: 5

Hello Buk there has been a few problems as well just lately
Ah well "never mind", I'm sure they will sort themselves out in the end
By the way Buk, aren't we about ready to see how close to harvest you're girls are ? .................... exciting isn't it



Hello Marc , I was just thinking about you earlier on, I havent seen you on line for ages. I hope everything is ok and all is well

You know Marc I have absolutely no idea what is causing the droop ?
When comparing the last grow and this one all the conditions are different, and yet both have developed a droop at around the same time, just after switching to 12/12.
Mind you Marc I'm really not worried at all, there only plants and they'll come right in the end ............... I hope

Oh and a Happy Valentines day to you as well love
Hmmmm an all expenses trip ....................... I think prehaps, maybe the Maldives, I just fancy a couple of week lolling around on a beach in the Indian Ocean

See you soon Marc

Thanks for the salutation Mand! But I'm totally bummed now. I thought for sure you would've chosen to come to the frigid middle of the USA to visit me!! I understand. Plus we're supposed to get like 8-12 inches of snow in the next few days. Ultra bummer.

Have a good one and your new photo looks...sultry. :dance:

Hello Marc just dreamimg love, affraid I can't see a holiday for a while yet ................ too many bills

Hmmm the avatar, I keep thinking of changing it back whenever I see it



Anyway Marc this grow . I'm giving it one more week to do something and if it doesn't I'm binning them all.
There is really something not right about it, personally I think I'm growing a crop of hermies. As of tomorrow they have been on 12/12 for 3 weeks and up to now only 3 males have shown themselves.
I was just having a good look at them this morning and I actually think that most of the plants are showing male characteristics.

Also it has been nothing but a diasater right from the start, only 10 plants out of 16 seeds is not good , normally I can expect all the seeds to grow, if I'm unlucky prehaps if one won't.
I know that the lights are fine, the compost is ok, there is no problem with over or under watering, although I do suspect the tempreture maybe affecting them.
I still have 16 of those seeds left, I'm definetely going to throw them away............... infact I can say now I have just binned them

Anyway Marc I'll give them one more week and see then ......... if I throw them away then I'll wait untill April before starting the next crop with the new seeds.

Oh I tell you what though love, I will never ever do a grow journal again, they bring just too much bad luck in the growing department, they simply just tempt fate too much

Oh I'll just put on some pics .........................

Hey Mand,

Saying hello... very nice grow... what number is it again? Number 15th since I started my 1st? lol !!!
I'm just kidding... very nice.

Again, SUPER A+++ with the simple, yet effective grow methods :thumbsup:

BTW: I like your new avatar!

Best,

Hello Turtle , you know love I really wish I could agree with you but there is something about them that doesn't seem right. I'm even starting to wonder if the right seeds were put in the right packets because I know what skunk#1 and sensi skunk looks like, I've grown them quite a few times and these just don't look like what there supposed to be

Anyway Turtle like I said to Marc, they have a week to improve or else they are out . I really don't want another grow like the last one


Oh and thankyou for the comment on the avatar, it's supposed to be my dark and moody look ....................... oh dear

Mand I'm sorry to hear about your grow and seeds Hopefully they'll get back on their feet in a week I feel really really bad:sadcrying I know your a good grower and I really doubt its "your fault" because you know so much... It just might be those seeds or the phenos Good Luck Mand:thumbsup:

[The Grim Reefer]

It's alright Mand, without the bad - the good just wouldn't be as sweet.

[The Grim Reefer]

Oh, and as far as having a week to improve.. are you referring to showing their true faces?

[mand]

Hello Buk well the thing is a few plants really are the last thing on my mind at the moment love. I had a little bit of news earlier on, I'm going to be a Grandma again
I have just spent the last few hours ringing everyone I know to tell them and now I'm affraid it's you're turn
It's my daughter again.


Bye for now ................... love mand xxx
