DV8 Reg Photo Grow For Science

Are you doing a stealth grow as well as?

Why am I only just realising this?
Yeah for flower. Was gonna veg and get them into flower which came unstuck for two reasons.

We have an inspection coming up and the landlord is having contractors come by semi regularly. Place was a bit run down when we got here but after 7 years its falling apart.

Id burn it but its not mine.

Second is the smell. Mrs DV8 got a sensitive nose and they were bad all grouped together. They were heavy as seedlings and have gotten stronger and stronger. The Blue is about a km from us, much longer and they would have come knocking haha. When I walked them up the trail in could smell them on the way out.

Couple months Ill get a tent.
 
Perfect plan :)

I’m not sure if you’re interested in the sponsored route but if you do a journal that’s interesting- which yours is - and see a grow through, people like Mars Hydro and Herbies Seeds will sometimes sponsor grows. I’ve been asked quire a few times.

Bit early for me, just finding my feet.

Interesting? Not sure I can agree, regular maybe, however theres a zillion good growers here who deserve the limelight. I would though include your musings in that.

Besides it would instantly feel like work with expectations. Finally reached a place in my life where I can kind of pick and choose to do the things I like to do, and have enough cash to do it.

With the greenhouse, shed, and own house my gardens will be a centrepiece of my after work life. Around 2001 moved into a place that had a vege plot about 20x20m and I let loose. Second summer I had an acre under veges, and an orchard with plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, grapes (table and wine), and pears. Built a little greenhouse and moved into growing all sorts of oddball things. Hated moving from there, had such a great thing going.

By next spring hope to do the same. I have fingerlimes, cherries, grapes, pineberries, blueberries, strawberries and pomegranates to put in and run a couple plots around those.

Will do the regular veges, Romas, Grosse lisse, zucchini, capsicums, spaghetti melons, butternuts, maybe a jap, cucumbers, beans, peas, and watermelon.

I have pics of seedlings, gardens and produce from the last 3 years, an obsessive amount actually haha. My old Uncle keeps giving me seeds, in his 90s and still gets out in his garden every day. Actually, if I put a girl in at his place hed probably tend to it till it was 14 ft tall.

Now if someone wanted to sponsor my vege grows Id be in like Flynn.

Dont even get me started on worms and composting....
 
Ok so in Canna News Today....seeds came out of their soak. I had the 2 Autos, but had some way old seeds I never had any luck with in 2020 (aka (The Great Muckup 2020). Threw 2 of those in as a hail mary, they are photo regs, but what they are is a another mystery, just have the crosses in initials on them (AAxBB). No help there.

So the Autos were no splits, and 1 of the 2 photos went onto the towels. Its pushing 32C in the shed, but a bit cooler in my Germ box area. But the second photo was pushing a tail! Miracle in itself really.

Surely the fucker will go (went into soil mix) and grow up to be the biggest bad punky male out of the gate....such optimism haha.
 
Ok so heres where I want some help, active participation, call it a game if you will.

GG4 came out for a bit of tanning today, looks solid, except it has no real seed leaves. Ive never seen that in my seedlings before, what you guys think, a mutant or give her time? Pic below.

Looks under developed to me, but before I get on the horn thought a second opinion (3rd 4th 5th etc welcome) Thats a good as I could get with the phone and no macro attachment.....( I swear its around here somewhere, but when you need it grows legs).

Heres a pretty pic, mutant or not. Still the first born Auto.

I hope its ok, Im not fit to parent a canna kid with special needs.

Omg me too.

I’m am 100% not interested in being sponsored. Let’s face it bloke, there is no such thing as a free lunch. You always pay one at or another. There is an absolute expectation when you agree to sponsor. Like you I make my own coin. If I want, I buy. I’d rather pay my own way and do my own thing expectationless.

I’ve never grown veges. I do however have a kick arse herb garden.

Omg I have worms on worms in my soil. And I’m new to the compost bucket. My herb garden is so full of them. My grandson loves to dig them up then watch them slither back down into the dirt.

If I won lotto, I’d buy a hobby farm. Somewhere I could have rescue animals and vege patches and serenity and sunsets…. but close enough to town so I could still get a good brow wax and tint and a nice coffee.

There is no way those initial leaves grew and got chewed aye?

If the answer is no, you definitely have a special needser there. On the upside you will get an awesome parking permit ;)

PS I’m better with clone advice.

That's a rich gardening background, great stuff! My parents kept big organic veg gardens and loads of fruit trees, bee hives and compost piles.

Just the other day my neighbour told me that when he was a kid (he's in his 70's now), there was an old man who back then lived on the corner of our street and had 1/4 acre planted out in veggies, my neighbour said he would gather seaweed from the beach after storms and dig it into his garden, he lived a long life and died at 104, must be something in it eh!

All my mutants have come to nought, they've all been time wasters! All, except my current Mango Sherbert which I really thought was a goner, but it came right, to now be flourishing. So my advice can only be to keep it going if you're out of seeds or time. In my case the Mango Sherbert was the very last seed I had of her so I was rapt that she pulled thru.

All the best for a smooth transition to your next place.

Made me laugh.

Have my share of critters but she just popped out like that. My gut tells me what you and Stunger have attested to, shes a slim hope. Ill give her a couple days for hope and giggles, and after that let supplier know.

Ah it was choclates to boiled lollies fast, maybe I should work on my clone game. Was tinkering with a bubble cloner.

See what tomorrow brings, 4 seeds of potential still simmering, could go to poo stew yet. Going to rest my head and heart.

Hooroo.
 
Been a slow start to the day feel like shite. Woke up with a bit of excitement to see what had changed o/n.

So mixed news. Looks like the GG4 might, might, be going to go.

Thats a hell of a lot better than it was.

The NL, AH auto seeds that went to towels are just, well, sitting there. Same as the other photo reg. Still, things can happen fast.

Was good range in the shed last night, 28C down to 21.1 this morning. Just staying in the right zone for long(er) periods is a challenge and when it happens good things always result.

Weather gonna peak out starting today and running for 4 after that, over 35C, all the kids will hurt for it.

At the start of Dec there was a small tent for sale not far from me, cpl cfls, cloth grow bags, extraction fan and filter, just a basic set but complete, retail around $600.

She had 350 on it (I would have got her down from there) and I wanted it. Mrs DV8 put the foot down over virus concerns, but man should have got it.

Would have been perfect for seedlings, germinating and cloning. Should have stashed it at Js house for a while at least.

Might get over to the kids today if I get time, watered them Thursday by hand. Worried they might not make it through without a bit of care. They are hardy but its been cool overnight this week at times dropping down to 12C at the low point, but 4x 38C and windy coming at them will need to be managed.

I just want win something . Lmao. Says I'm a good grower. Like my buddies and sht. They got member this member that. And plant this that and hell they got votes on votes not even been voted on. Lmao. Master growers lmao
 
Out for the Morning earning Wife Points. Clothesline was number 1 on the list, big tick.

One of the seeds has thrown a tail, Im not 100% sure which, its not the NL, either AH or Reg. Be happier if its the AH, sort of happy if its the reg, surely 2/2 regs couldnt happen.

The confusion is the 2 look very similar. Should have seperated them, but rush rush, Yes dear Im coming no need to hurry me I know the time.

Did my good deed for the day @Trala

Couple were at a house today, went back as I had left a tool there, and Grandma and Granpa were in tow. Let them in to have a look. Was nice just watching them chat about the build, all the while wondering if the Super would come bust us.....good turn done.

You been in the contest section mate? Cant even win the prizes down here, so thats one less competitor to worry about!

Used to show Budgies as a young bloke. Took me forever to win Best Cock in Show. Back then had some pretty solid birds, often wondered if putting a competitors name on my exhibits would it have been more ribbons....Seemed to be a popularity contest to me at the time every damn show.

Nah not really. Just joking on it. Bragging they got all the member of month and pic and whatever else they have. Not even sure on it. I seen it and looked at the journals. But never went any further even when I was growing last time here. Never entered or won anything.. can't even win a fight with my wife. LMAO

I do love telling the story especially when you hit the high notes to the prudish and high minded.


"So after years of successive breeding I finally had a cock worthy of putting it in the show exhibition. The competition was tight, very tight in fact.
Old Bill had a very handsome cock, hed been preening it all morning and it had come up a treat.
But I knew today was the day, when the 2 cocks were shown together I had the slightly larger more symmetrical of the two.
The judges came around inspecting the 2 cocks from every angle, to see which cock had the best proportions.
Bill look smug with his offering as his cock had been chosen before.

But that was not his day, in the end despite my cock being a bit younger they awarded me the ribbon after much deliberation. It was very close coming down to the colouring and markings to seal the deal on top of the slighter bigger width of the body.

Along those lines any way.

Onto canna news another tail tonight. Im pretty sure they are the two autos, with the NL coming to the party.

Saw the kids this arvo, pics soon.
 
Top of the morning to you @7Dust2 . Can I call you Dusty, or Dust, what you prefer to be called mate? Its evening here, but all that means is it coffee time for both of us.

On with the pics. Not sure whos who in the Zoo anymore exactly but here they are. Look like they are ok with the new home.

Sorry about the funky pictures chopping details out of frame.

Was quick snaps. 1st pic is two kids in line. Moony at rear, pity didnt get a single shot with something for scale.

Moony had gone mad though throwing out growth everywhere and already hitting the bottom of the pot, who knows how hard it would go with enough space.

Still no sex, just the odd (maybe if I stare long enough) tiny side shoot growth but nothing obvious.

Might still get some size yet. Moony would be the pick for genetics, going alpha on the others.

Hooroo .

Dust is fine or 7 doesn't matter I answer to anything. Can't hurt my feelings . Yeah the plants looks good. I got money on that one in middle is male. Just by looking at the structure. But could be wrong .maybe two. Idk. Hope I'm wrong. That one seems be hind the others by a week hope not bro. By I don't mind one male to make seeds the right way. But I'll grab the collida silver. Second glance maybe 1 not sure . Not to be rude or anything or misleading. I'm usually wrong just looks different reason I'm saying it

Nothing wrong with your eyes mate, that one was always different to the others, thinner leaves, early bolter, thought it might be male myself.

With 7 regs theres bound to be one. Its definitely a different pheno, so on the same page with you mate.
