The James Gang

[H.A.F.]

I liked how they stuck in the ground. Then I tried hitting army tanks and stuff.

Star Wars action figures and matchbox cars got impaled frequently - and no one died. When there were no warning labels kids weren't as stupid - leaving the house Saturday morning to play, with your pocket knife and half a book of matches, the danger was real

After reading more about the GMO Cake, I am flipping it tonight. The sprouts are all opening a second node of leaves. She is supposed to stretch pretty good, and take a while - and be really stinky. THAT might be the thing I separate into two different flower rooms - the smelly dankness in one and the fruity sweetness in the other

Since I am flipping it, the DCP also flips. Trimmed her bottom shoots yesterday. I think it's gonna be a midget no matter what I do unless it has some stretch to it in flower.

I have the 7 girls plus the GMO fem. The three new additions may still have culls, as could the DCP. That's minimum 8 maximum 12 plants, plus the 2 hashplants. I want to get everything sexed and sorted before my new seeds show up, but I think everything will still fit in the tent. Watering will be fun.

The tiny hashplants in the veg tent are also regs. I had to raise and prop up the little one. It has almost 2 full curls in the stem like a spring. I guess the weight of the top kept pushing it down, but the phototropic growth kept it pointing north just enough to stay vertical. I stretched it up then packed dirt around it and soaked it in.

One thing I have tried with watering is to keep adding until the run-off fills the little hydrofarm saucers about halfway. I let that stay for a few hours, then go back in and put them each in a new tray. Sometimes the plant will drink more of what was in the tray. Just another way to make sure they are soaked when watered.

I didn't like that the damn saucers come in 25-packs, but now it makes sense two together makes them pretty sturdy too. I like these better than the 1020 trays with multiple plants.

two more flipped, 12 in the tent now. Still no sex on the three, but zero signs of balls yet. I'm leaning towards 3 for 3 girls.

Pretty much done with the rooter project now. gonna test extremes now. I let the cubes get pretty dry by weight, then the roots started showing more. I fed/watered them today and will see how long they go before dying.

Next time I buy those Horticubes, they have sheet with more, smaller rooters. I think that might be the way to go for seeds. These bigger cubes seem better for clones with a lot of initial lateral root growth

I’ve seen one member, I forget who it is, but he stacks those cubes and speaks them with something (like a couple pieces of long wire) to keep them together. This allows for a longer tap root.

Give it a shot!

Actually, this is good enough to get them in cups or small pots. My main issue has been getting them vertical without helmet-heads or seed-skin condoms over the tips. After that not damping them off would be a cool trick too

I think these will be perfect. The soil should wick away any excess moisture from the cube, and that air-pocket around the stem seems fine too. Might help protect the main damp-off area from issues.

I think the smaller cubes are over 100 per sheet, the big cubes are 50 per sheet (all 10/20 tray size). Same price, twice the rooters. I just meant that seeds/taproots don't need that wide of a cube like a clone does. I only want them to get the first set of leaves opening. Still plan to use a cup-o-dirt, but my success rate going straight to soil from a soak was fluctuating. this seems more consistent.

Pretty sure Eso uses that block method

104, 162, 276 are the sheet quantities (other than 50) that I found. Like you said, you don't need much for seed starting if that's all you plan to use them for.

The stuff is easy to work with, I'd settle for a sheet with no grooves and holes

Pretty much same pic as last night but I don't like the crowding. Tonight the 4 @J.James Blueberry crosses get their own home. the closet next door is open. That will leave 8, with four known girls. The GMO Cake still looks a little wonky, hoping that the 12 hours of rest helps perk her up.

I like guitarists (and/or drummers or bassists) more than any specific band.

Fun ZZ Top facts:

The Drummer - only dude with no beard - is Frank Beard

On the Ed Sullian Show, Jimi Hendrix was asked if there were any up and coming musicians he thought would do well. He said that he saw a guy named Billy Gibbons down in Texas that was really good...

The new setup.
The Nigerian Bubblegum and White Grape are both girls. Hydra Hobbit and DCP are the only ???.

Blue Eyes on the left, Biscuits on the right.

As soon as the HH shows I am repotting the 2-3 girls. then the DCP should be close behind.

When I was in High School I dated a girl that was 4. Her birthday was tomorrow

Here's the '88 G13 x Hashplant
Planted same day LOL. Uppotting the baby tonight when I take care of the others.

 

[gwheels]

And Nigerians and Sinatra...

Sinatra probably smells like a martini

who loves ya babe

I cant wait to see how the hash plant works. I should have said yes to some but i have so much shit going on. I am looking for hash monsters now.

I just remembered... i used these 1 inch rockwool cylinder plugs that are split in half. I think they work GREAT. And i put them in coco after because rockwool is weird and loves algae. But a great seed starter and clone holder. I am impressed so far.

I was in a hiatus between testers and was hoarding seeds. the 2 @jacrispy auctions, and 5-6 packs from @SCJedi. I realized my bone-headedness - never be able to run all of them now - so I did the roulette thing.

Not counting j.james blueberry crosses I popped 10 random regs and got 7 girls. Out of the next 3 so far 2 are girls, the other is a probable. It would show some kind of balls in a week... Then the 2 hashplants just because I wanted a better shot at a girl - Probably get two LOL
15 seeds, 9+ girls...

Was not counting on filling the tent, but I'll grow the hell out of this stuff

i used these 1 inch rockwool cylinder plugs that are split in half.

Not rockwool. Oasis Horticubes. I used to work heating and air and I will NOT voluntarily play with fiberglass
This stuff seems like that green florists foam, but more porous. If you crunch some in, it stays permanently.

 

[H.A.F.]

- never be able to run all of them now -

But I am getting a good taster of everything that I still have packs of. Next break in testing I'll try the roulette thing again until I try everything. If by some miracle I acquire no more seeds between now and when I have tried everything I will start running packs.
