Hey Falcore - unfortunately I found a couple of more male parts today. Hopefully I can keep up with them to some degree. Just gonna give it my best shot.

Yes - incredible vertical growth - not what I was expecting. The buds seem to be getting big fast on her too. The mystery plant, not so much.

Thanks for the kind words brother!
 
I've decided on my next seeds:

Barney's Farm - L*D (Lucy)
Dutch Passion - Skywalker
Soma - Lavender
CH9 - Humboldt

I'm thinking these should be some really fun strains to grow and smoke/vape - I'm excited! :yummy:

Are you going to go with Fem seeds again or regular?:Namaste:

Hi Hemp - Going with Fem seeds. I have mixed feelings. I'd like to think I have better odds with fem seeds, but I like the fact that with regular seeds - a female seems to be a female. I don't know - seems like hermies are more of an issues with fem seeds, but gonna give it another go.
 
From seed: Day 58 for Missy, Day 51 for Blueberry --- Day 25 of 12/12:

RH has climbed to about 52% - Looks like I'm gonna be digging out the mini dehumidifier... Not a problem yet, but don't want it to become one.

PH has been steady around 5.7-5.8% and haven't needed much correction lately.

PPM's are still around 1200. I need to do a reservoir change tonight - they've been drinking like a drunk on a bender. They look really healthy green, and no burns - roots are still bright white.

Blueberry is still growing a bit vertically, but she's been pretty cooperative with some late training so to speak. Tough to tell in the pictures, but I've been able to keep her off the glass and enough away from the bulb that she hasn't stressed from it yet.

Bud growth is still really slow on Missy vs. the Blueberry, but starting to come along. I didn't get a chance to try to correct the "reds" in the photos at all, so these are unedited and highly tinted by the HPS lamp...:

Starting to smell yummy in there! :yummy:
 
Just thought I'd share a couple of bud pic's from my last harvest. I entered them in the March 2011 Nug of the Month contest, but there's a hell of a lot of nice buds in there!

Anyway, thought I'd share - these are Paradise Seeds "Magic Bud". It's a favorite of the strains I've grow so far, as it is very euphoric:

Hi My Freind ;)

Well, I've added ""Magic Bud" to my want list. Sounds good and looks good.

Female seeds. In 4 grows I've had 2 go hermie on me and that was in my first grow, when I stressed everything. I only buy female seeds. As an old fart, I figure I don't have the time to sex them. :rasta:
 
XLR8, hey Bro! I have to apologize...I thought I was sub'd to your journal and apparently, I was not. I must have been stoned or something - I don't know, I can't remember! RoorRip

I guess better late than never! :tokin:

The grow is looking real good and those nugs look scrumptious!
:welldone:

Thanks Mr. Krip - glad to have you aboard! :welcome:

I hope that it was just a fluke with your seeds. Hope all goes well with your next set.


Well, I think I actually need to revise my thoughts on this subject a bit, too. My original thought was that my PPP fem seeds "hermied" on me. But, after this grow and thinking back to my first grow - I never saw anything but male parts on the PPP plants. I'm convinced that the seed package was mis-labeled (no way were they actually fem seeds). In that case, the only fem seed I've actually had hermie on me was the blueberry seed this grow.

That being said, I really don't have enough to condemn fem seeds at this point, so I went that way again for my next seeds. I've grown several Snow White feminized seeds out and they've all been just fine. I just need to remember to adjust my thinking due to the clearly mislabeled PPP seeds.

Oh and OMM - Magic Bud is a good one. Funny thing there is - speaking of seed issues - I never ordered them. I ordered Paradise "BellaDonna" I think it was, and they shipped "Magic Bud" instead. I still wonder about "BellaDonna" but I sure like the Magic Bud!

Thanks for your input and well wishes guys! :thankyou:

Hi Buddy ! :surf:

What seed bank did you order from? I use Attitude and the Single Seed Co. Never had a problem with either one and I have allot of strains. In fact I have 113 strains. Hope I live long enough to grow em all! :popcorn:

Maybe it's time to think of a will!

Those are the ones I use, too. I've also ordered from Nirvana. The PPP seeds that were supposed to be feminized (but weren't) came from Nirvana. The mix-up between BellaDonna/Magic Bud, and the poor germination seeds were Single Seed Co. But, stuff happens, and so far I like Single Seed despite a couple of issues, so I'm going to give them another try in the future.

Oh, and have I told you lately how fantastic you are? Just remember that when you do complete your will... ;)

Holy shit!!!! 113 strains!!!! Wow, you need a warehouse grow room to try all those strains OMM!

No kidding! I'm beyond jealous - we need to get into that will, Hemp! :)
