So I put Almighty Mix 7 Pack ( 7 random seeds. )
5 Big Bud x Cali Orange
and 6 Gold Skunk seeds into 3 Paper towels. Quality Bounty towels with gay cats on them.

2-19-08 4:30AM

Im going to water the paper towels every time there not soaked basically. And im leaving this on top of my warm pc.
Once I see the tails im putting them into 2 Inch pots under a 4 bulb 2 foot T5 setup. This is inside a small clothes cabinet. I think its 1 foot 8 inch deep and 4 wide. 6 tall. Im thinking about putting my 400 watt MH but I dont know if I can cool that in this little area but if I can thatll be the veg light in there. Otherwise itll be the t5s which im starting with regardless.


Pics start from the last known day before the pull. I had to pull the original crop for safety and I pulled them from trash and replanted. Thats the first pics. Others are new crop im starting now so that hopefully they veg for the 30 days that my last crop finishes in, and then Ill swap them into hydro hut.

i cant say specifically but I had to run lets say and I pulled them for safety. WHen I returned 2.5 days later. I pulled the laundry bag out of the garbage I threw it in and replanted them. They basically died, all leaves fell off, and everything you see is entire new growth. Every single leaf you see on them when their in the bag falls off. But they are still budding and I expect much smoke

I found this cabinet on 86th street and lex, some rich family threw it out im sure. This was made quality. The wood is strong, the doors are thick and strong, they dont make them like this anymore thats for sure. this cabinet weighs like 100 pounds so its going to easy to construct the setup with as I can actually screw or nail without cracking or breaking being wood is quality. id have to say to buy a cabinet of this quality would cost about 700 dollars today, which is why I took it home and will own this for many many years.

yeah gold skunk seems to pretty hardy. of 6 seeds, six sprouted. also those 6 were the fastest out the dirt and seem to be growing fastest even at the moment. definitely want to try and keep a mom of this smelly beast. Second round of gold skunk for me, man o man, the smell is skunky and intense and beautiful, i want gold skunk cologne.

did you just place the seeds on top of the soil witout burying the seed itself?

are you serious? definitely not. and noone should ever do that. I show in the first few pics the tool i use to poke a hole and i do about a half inch or less. i do water lightly and i leave them on 24 hours light for the next 30 days, and the new mommies will be on 24 forever

yeah the plants are boring at this stage. I literally look at them about once every 3 days. I make it a habit of forgetting about them and they seem to love it.
Nice dark lush green, a few leaves with a few spots as if the plants just sucked out nutrients or something and one plant thats got some real weird color stuff going on. Ill get a pic if goes to next sets of leaves.
This was pre transfer to the larger 3gal pots seen here. Since transfer shown here they have exploded. I see definite signs of stretching from the use of the HPS rather than MH though. The space between nodes and plant would have been shorter if I kept more blue in the lights I noticed from use of MH400 and the t5 veg in the past. But as these are moms and the setup of the MH makes it harder to double light Im sticking with the HPS. If anything maybe this will make these plants purpose all that much better which is to be moms. Lastly Ive noticed after stopping last grow a major problem. I water way too much. So Im back to using my sprayer and taking the time to really gauge how much water each one gets. water every 3 to 5 days.

24 Hrs Light.
3.5 Gal pots.
400 Watt HPS
72 Degrees.
Water every 5 days right now.
