Hey folk's, I sowed the seeds late Saturday night without soaking which I'd normally do.

When should i expect see signs of life?
None have broken ground yet

 

[GrumpAzz]

Roughly 3-5 days depending a little on how deep you buried them. I'm guessing tomorrow morning at the earliest.

 

[Star Dog]

You were right @GrumpAzz thank you, I'm starting to see the start of them, I've couple growing out root 1st so Ive turned them around.
Normally I've a small tap root to tell me which way is down
Is it the pointy end?

 

[GrumpAzz]

I always start mine crack down. I can't tell by looking at the ends.

 

[GoodShit97]

I had like 3 out of 30 come up tail first this run too.
It was weird. 1 is a super runt from it too lol.

Hey folk's so it's harvest day
I've a few pics.

I was planning to harvest earlier this week but got sidetracked and went fishing.

This morning I got everything ready to just go in and cut so I'm having a cup of tea and a joint then going to chop them.

Have a great weekend folk's

 

[Star Dog]

It's always nice to get to this point it's always a thrill.

I had 2 pots with 2 plants this time they don't appear to be any different to ones grown individually in fact they're better than some.

Yeah it appears to work without problems

 

[Rootsruler]

Looking tasty my guy!!!

Hey folk's I hope everyone is well, it's been ages I've been dealing with fungus gnats.

2nd of October I put the the pots into bags it's only just looking like the gnats are finished, they hatched up until last week.

It's interesting rhe plants don't seem to care about the bags.


They're doing fine and the gnats are gone without spending money or using poison.

Last wed/thurs I soaked seeds in a solution of nitrozyme and peroxide then planted them on Saturday morning.

There's a couple of stragglers but all in I'm happy with them.

So gnats suck it's the first time I've dealt with them I intend it to be the last.

You can get these paint straining bags for about a £1 each ebay, I'm going to keep my mums in them to prevent them getting near, if you miss one you're fkd before you know it.

Hey, nice stuff you grow there. You've done this before, Beautiful strains too.

I've never had a problem with the Gnats either but at first sign of them I put fans blowing right over the top of the soil and scrape the top inch of soil off. after a few days and the top of the soil is dry I'll top it off again but that seems to do it.
I keep the fans blowing over the tops of the pots for a while afterwards

I've not had to deal with them in the autopots but I only flower in them I read something about if they can't fly they can't mate....seems to work

Hi mate.had a froend on the other forum that used similar bags for his seedlings in the Uk..are you Fudge reborn
the picture of the creek is so like ours here.stocked with brownies and rainbows…

 

[Max]

Great photos and beautiful fish mate..that first browny …gee she is long and slender .all are in great nic too..i use to fish everyday when I was younger.had the Derwent river in Tasmania pretty much just below my house .always swimming with mates and using spinners and tassie wobblers by day and wattle grubs at nite.we only got the sea runners once a yr going up river to spawn.they were the ones to catch and were better eating and were awesome fighting fish .the rainbows are too ,even the little ones put up a tremendous fight for there size .i use to stand on this rock halfway out in the river and cast to this wide waterfall and was always guaranteed a fish just before dusk .it was a fight to bring them in with me running backwards towards the bank with one on .i never used a net…I should get back out there..loved the sound of the river all the hustle in life just seems to fade away out there..

Sat 7th Dec flipped them...
Morning folks, my seedlings are coming along nicely there's 21 of 22 sprouted that's a result itself

I've put the late sprouts in the clone tent and flipped the others at 7 days...
Day #1

Pic 9th Dec...
If you're wondering about the red veins they only had a heat matt under them for the 1st two nights and temps were down to 12/14C⁰

I've been putting around 600ml of nutrient directly into the tray then letting them suck it up, it it's real easy going.

I've been feeding clones/mums from the bottom for ages they're doing ok.

Its looking like the fungus gnats are completely gone now it's been two weeks since I seen one.

Take it easy folk's

 

[Rootsruler]

Looking good my Dude!!

 

[Star Dog]

Sorry folks I didn't have an updated photo to post earlier i hadn't seen my plants at the time.


These two sprouted after the others and they've been slow since so I'm unsure about them but they'll get a fair chance.

 

[Star Dog]

Dec 14th 2wks old and 1wk flipped.

There's 2 a little slow I've put them in 24hrs 1 is deffo going to grow it might be crap or whatever but it's growing, the 2nd one I'm less sure about I've payed close attention but there's nothing certain to indicate growth besides it not dying i mean

I've ordered a bowl trimmer being Christmas I'm treating myself

From what I'm seeing they make a acceptable job.

The one I ordered has a different grate arrangement that's usually on automated trimmers or manual onrs costing many hundred, fingers crossed.

Have a nice weekend folk's

 

[Star Dog]

I got my trimmer it's better made than I expected tbf.

I've given it a test run on the remainder of exo I have which I've already smoked the best buds from it.


All considered it's not too bad the job is ok

There's room for improvement but its a start.

A little side project for end size/height of plants starting from seedling.



Let's see what happens?

 

[Star Dog]

Dec 21st wk3 end.
Hello folk's, there's not been much happening just a few updated pics.

I think 1 of the 2 slower ones isn't going to progress any but this one just needs a bit time.

I hope you all had a nice solstice.

Take it easy folk's

[Stoneyluv]

i also use a bowl trimmer. you'll find it has it's purpose but is not made for all buds or the entire harvest. but for what it is intended for i think they're great! i also prefer the dry trim with it.

 

[Star Dog]

Hey bud, yes im liking mine, last night I trimmed more buds i might not in normal circumstances and I'm happy with the job.

Jfc I mean I could pick faults in the job but overall for essentially pop corn buds I'm really happy It trimmed them at all.

I could've bought a 19" for £80 but I opted for a 16" at £130 because of the dry trimming arrangement, from what I could see that type of grate is only available on the upmarket trimmers so I thought it worth the gamble?

I am happy with it but I'd like to know if I paid £50 more pointlessly?
