MANGO'S ON HOLD

I was pretty excited to find those Mango seeds, but, after thinking a littlle more about the situation, I've taken BOTH Mango seeds out of the shotglass of water, dried them off, bagged them, and put them in the freezer.

The reason is that, I'm quite sure, these seeds will be too fresh to have any decent chance of germinating now, but they do look like viable seeds.

I have to imagine the bud I found the seeds in was harvested in the last month or two, absolute latest, based on moisture content of the meds and the fact that commercial growers rarely cure for any long period of time.

I had posted an article in Granny's journal on the importance of seed dormancy and having warm and cold "stratification" periods for optimal chances of germinating.

In nature, the mother plant would die before winter, her seeds would fall, they would freeze in the soil, and come spring, everything would thaw and the seedling would germinate.

I'm GUESSING the reason the first seed was still floating after 24 hours of soaking is it just isn't ready. The moisture from the shotglass of water (guessing, again!) is probably the equivalent to a hard rainfall on the mother plant rather than anything that will trigger germination.

So, I'm gonna leave these in the freezer for a month, or so, and then try to germinate again.

Sorry for the false alarm!

I found this... pretty much says the same thing as what you posted, but I thought you might find it interesting anyway!

Mango (KC Brains)

Indica
Origins - Mango x KC 33
Flowering - 63-77 days
Harvest - Early November

Mango's parentage is part KC 33 and part Mango from a hippie fellow who grew it for 30 years, then let KC use it as a cross in 1991. This variety is a 100 percent indica strain that grows large and produces prodigiously.

Don't let Mango's slow start fool you - this variety will eventually rival the impressive size of many KC varieties, which are especially intended for outdoor grows. If you want Mango to stay at an average size in an outdoor garden, allow only 3 weeks of vegetative time and transplant outdoors as late as July in Northern latitudes. Mango can also be grown in an indoor garden, but needs a lot of space. If you want some monster indoor plants, allow seedlings or clones to vegetate for 3-4 weeks before changing to a 12/12 light regimen. Mango gardeners must rule with an iron fist if they want to manage the size of this plant, and it is important to start the discipline early. Accomplish this by starting the flowering phase about 1-2 weeks after the seedling has sprouted and proven vigorous. Once established, Mango plants will grow so fast, you can practically watch them change height in front of your eyes.

Mango buds are massive and weighty, growing to lengths of 18 inches and the cicumference of a woman's calf. Luckily the branches give sturdy support. As it matures, this plant's foliage can turn a very red to reddish purple color. The smell and taste are decidedly sweet mango and the stone is an even, mellow body sensation.

I was looking forward to the Mango. Oh well! Soon enough perhaps?

My baby she like to rock
My baby she like to roll
My baby she can dance all night
My baby got no control
She do the Mango Tango!

That sounds like Ted Nugget!

I thought cannabis wont grow naturally in the states because of the freezing temperatures in the winter time. I thought only ruderalis strains could survive the winters here?
like in Indiana were they used to grow hemp it still is found growing wild.

Hey Krip check my update 25 pics super nice..

The things I learn from reading your journal. Granted I never say anything but rest assured I AM reading.

Thanks for that info I will keep locked away.

Yep, same thing Alaskan1 said. Your the best Mr. Krip. A fountain of good information.

The purpose of seeds is to help genetics survive till the next growing season....everywhere in the world. It also allows them to be transported easily by creatures, wind and weather. Throw a bunch of bagseeds out and watch what happens.

QUICK UPDATE - NO PIC SHORTAGE!

Not much to update, except that the four oldest SOG plants are at 66 days of 12/12. I did postpone the flush to keep them on some light nutes and a heavy dose of Overdrive a little longer. I will flush on Wednesday with Clearex, then harvest on Sunday.

I do have to say that these plants are really packing on the weight now, and getting nice and fat!

I defniately believe the Overdrive helps, but before any of you "noob growers" run out and buy Overdrive thinking you're gonna get real fat buds, first, try not harvesting so early!

The last couple of weeks really do make a BIG difference!

Here's some random shots of Pineapple Express, Power Skunk, and Lucy:

Happy Harvests!

wow, well done & + reps Krip!

I like how your best advice to the newbies is to be patient and not harvest early. lol.
That's gotta be some of the most well placed advice out there.

a Buddy of mine used to trim as they matured as he always liked getting it right without any triche-check. I didn't mind because he always had fresh for the tasting. He was looking for a dose of heady without any drag. So often the early stuff seems like a morning variety without the heavy-weight hit. They also call that pre-mature. lol.

Anyways, after he had moved into veteran-status, it seemed that you had to ask him for something a bit premature, if that's your style, because the cause and effect of that sort of thing is how much of a stash you are holding...

Its easier to wait when you got a giant jar from the last time.... harder to wait if your meds are gone and you have a pain condition. Impossible if you are 10-15 days away and completely new to the experience....

It's like watching a god grow...

WOW VERY NICE SIR! um BIG FAN OF MANGO!! very excited to see them germinate when they are ready!

Thank you all, so much, for the very kind words!

Yeah, it's much easier to wait when there's some stash available, but, when you're that close to harvest, you're almost better off buying a small "hold-me-over" bag or clipping a few nugs, than harvesting early. The last couple of weeks can add another 20% or so in weight to the final harvest and increase yields significantly.

FLUSHED THE FOUR OLDEST SOG PLANTS TODAY!

I did the flush on the four oldest SOG plants today putting about a gallon of Clearex solution (12ml/gal) through each hempy. I then followed up with plain, PH'd water with just a little bit of Bud Candy and Overdrive. Now, it's plain H2O from here to harvest.

Since I don't have any plants in the clone chamber right now, I think I'm gonna take the plants out of the flower tent on Friday and give them about 36 hours of dark before I harvest on Sunday.

The girls are all looking fantastic, but I'll let you all judge for yourselves.

Here's the Lucy #1:

And, Pineapple Express - she's short, but a FATTY!:

Happy Harvests!

Good call on the Mango seeds Mr. Krip, I have some dried and frozen for about a month now.

Fat heads and good looking start on the next group

 

[Goldengoose7]

I'm baaaaack!

Hey Mr. K!

How the hell are ya? I see that you are still at it and producing at your usual high standards! How is your Turbo Klone doing?

I'm back and posting having just completed my GDP and Blue Cheese cloning session to produce the plants for this season's outdoor grow.

Just wanted to let all my grow buddies know that I am back, and I hope to see ya over there soon!

Looking forward to another year of info exchange and friendly competition for the best looking plants!

Talk to ya soon!
