Daily Update: Sweet Dark Devil Auto (Day 2) & Bomb Berry Bomb Auto (Waiting For Germination)

The Dark Devil is doing it's birth dance, beginning to set off new growth as it wiggles it's way out of the soil.

Isn't she beautiful? I love this stage - so full of promise for the future.

Still no movement from Berry Bomb Auto. At what point do you all suggest I inform Herbie's that they sent me a dud seed? A couple more days? We're at 9 days now since I planted. I know with certainty it's not the planting medium.

If I have to get a replacement seed I might as well also order at least one seed of the Medical No Name that's been haunting me for so long, eh? Two seeds travel as easily as one.

I topped off the reservoirs (about three cups each) and dribbled more coconut water around the planting sites. That's really all that's necessary now.

Time to get on with the day. Before I go - my daughter stopped in last night to pick up two more small doses. At 32 years of age that was her first attempt at using cannabis for any purpose. She was surprised at how that small dose helped her tense back and neck relax, removed the nagging pain in her knee that had bothered her for an entire day, tamped down a majority of the anxiety stalking her and gave her some serious munchies. She decided maybe there's something to this plant after all. We had a discussion about the implications of the human body having receptors specifically for cannabis components. We also had a talk about responsible munchies. She left with one dose to help her sleep without nightmares and one for the nightstand that she can pop in the morning, if she finds it necessary. She agrees that this was much more effective than Xanax. Maybe we'll leave that prescription at the pharmacy. I'm fairly certain cannabis won't take her to the point of attempting suicide. Once in the past year was too much for her mother to deal with.

Time to get serious about the grow now. I just increased the medicinal need. That was one of my intentions when I started to grow. She needs cannabis as much as her father does, but for different reasons. We've coexisted with her diagnosed anxiety disorder for 12 years now. It's taken that long to break her resistance to trying cannabis. I cannot tell you how relieved I am right now about this.

She's an artist. Wait until she gets a taste of the way cannabis enhances creativity.

Legalize this plant already. There's too much suffering that could be eliminated. So many lives that could be tremendously improved.


You all have a wonderful day. Fill it with joy and laughter. It's not that hard to do really and the rewards are profound. Thanks for the support you all bring to my journal. Now get out there and laugh with life!

Sue, the medical uses and new potential uses are a reason for it to be legal.
Hemp clothes, hemp paper, bio-diesel fuel are a few more.

But as long as major corporations can't make money from it, then they will continue to pour money into lobbying against it being legal.

Here's hoping on some good news both with Dale and the daughter.

Thank you UltraDan, and thank all of you for your words of concern. We're going to be fine, no matter what. After so many years of dealing with one blow after another you become somewhat flexible and resilient. Or you take the bridge, and there's a good one visible from my living room window. I prefer the flexible way. :laughtwo:

I share it here because I think it's important to show that life can be ..... challenging sounds PC enough, eh? ..... Life can be challenging to the extreme and you can still strive for and succeed to express joy in the end. Joy over fear. It's the right choice every time.

I'm going to joyfully look over finances to see how many seeds I can sneak into the budget right now.

What do you think guys? Give Berry Bomb another two days?
 
Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -

cheers sue,, good luck with your little no show,, just sending peace and good wishes over the rockies to you and dale and your family,,
 
Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -

I'd give it another few days. It's not hurting anything staying in there. Maybe it's just scared to pop it's head out into this cruel, dark world we live in.

"There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.....the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope."

I am no expert with seeds. I just tried my first seed pop starting Jan 2nd. Since I had so many I put some directly into rooter plugs and some into soil. I had the same amount of non popping in both cases. I would say 90% popped within a 5 day period the rest never popped even though I waited about two weeks altogether. And I, like you, did not do any special soaking or sanding or any seed preparation prior to planting. Since you have documented your planting and you have so many witnesses I advise you to call up the seed bank and get your replacement seed now. :)

BTW all of mine so far are female as I predicted since they came from a hermie plant the genetics suck however as all of them are trying grow as hermie too. I spend a few hours a week just pulling off the male Nanner things which I am sure I'll miss a few by the end. They taste good though...almost like a hemp heart. :Love:

I hope Dale gets strong and heals soon and I am glad your daughter is trying the cannabis for her disorder..."We've got one!"-Ghost Busters Ref
:peace:

I have popped over 200 seeds in the last year and only 3 didn't pop in a rapid rooter and those were poorly stored prior on my part I've been growing awhile and rapid rooters are almost fail proof if you are a good gardener and watch your humidity and tray water level.

Soil dropping has way too many variables it's not as effective I do however just throw a ton in the soil early summer.

I do think it makes a stronger more sturdy seedling but the failure rate is significantly higher.
 
Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -

A word of caution if you contact Herbies: They don't guarantee that their seeds will sprout, because they aren't sold for that purpose. :;): Find their FAQs and read the wording for the guarantee before you write to them.

They're simply for collecting purposes. So your appeal has to be based on damage in transit or something like that. "My seed didn't sprout" doesn't cut it. I had three fail from one batch, and I dug one up and found an empty husk. I was able to get a closeup shot, and that was fortunate because they asked for a pic. Once they saw the "damaged" seed, they quickly replaced them.

I have near 100% germination rate by soaking for 12-24 hours and then planting into HB soil. Getting the taproot colonized right from the get-go creates really healthy seedlings.

I used to soak as well.

I don't think every room is as dialed as ours and in a poor environment it's alot tougher straight in soil. I agree 100% on that said seedling to be stronger and more stable. But alot of peoples environmental conditions fluctuate alot and thats another variable for them to contend with

I'm most situations a rapid rooter or a seedling tray is the way to go that way you also don't have the floor space of a full pot taking up expensive real estate as well.

Ive always had good success in soil but much prefer the rooter method do to my multiple situations going on.

Everyone has a different setup so to each there own. Find what works in your situation and don't detour from that path ie: don't fix what isn't broken


Unless you are like me and like to try everything and then learn from my failures.

I think as you get more into HB, and after you try some seeds in HB soil, you'll start to do them all that way. Perhaps not. But I fully agree: don't fix what isn't broken.

Damn you doc ok ill do one today. So I really don't want to drop it in a pot so keg cup? 2" pot? 1 gallon?

So fill with your soil dust with roots and drop it in?
 
Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -

So I'll let everyone pic actually I'll let sue pick since I'm high jacking this thread for a second.

You pick

Hey Sue!

Just checking in, god your Journal moves so fast! Although I can't complain, as I know I will have a new Journal response to read every time I log into 420mag :cheesygrinsmiley:

I top dressed my Strawberry Diesel with about 3 lbs of (1-0-0) EWC and 5 tbsp of Slow Release Dolomite Lime that I amended my soil with 13 weeks ago. Going to try and bring her in without any more chemicals, see how she does. I also have decided to give the forested area I longboard through a try for Dandelions and Comfrey! I hope it proves successful. :cheesygrinsmiley: :cheesygrinsmiley:

I hope you're experiencing a just as beautiful day as we are here in Colorado. Sending good vibes to you, your family, and your seed/seedling Sue.
