HSO Trainwreck and GHS Lemon Skunk

How's it eveyone? Aloha to all my fellow growers out there, coming at you from the Big Island in Hawaii. So I just bought two new strains, HSO trainwreck ( 5 fems) and GHS's Lemon Skunk ( 5 fems), with #2 Sour Diesel, Northern Lights x Skunk Cross, all freebies from Attitude. First off with myself ordering seeds from the UK to Hawaii, took a little over 16 days, got held up in customs for 10 days, then finally they moved to another sorting post office in NYC, finally 4 days after that I got my beans .
I have never grown any of HSO's strains or GHS, both breeders I have read up have gotten mixed rants and raves. HSO being so new, it did not have much info, so thus I want to help provide my fellow growers with knowledge of this particular Trainwreck strain. Of the 5 seeds of the TW, 3 have cracked in 24 hours, using the paper towel method, and 3 GHS LS have cracked as well. What I do is veg inside, on a 18-6 cycle, in a 4x4x6 grow tent, with a 250 mH, with a 4" vortex exhaust. I know I will get grief for not having a bigger light, but where I live on the island, being so close to the ocean, it gets hotter than a rattlesnakes taint out. So, thus I choose to only run a 250 watt because of the heat, and it does good for roughly 5 plants vegging till about 4 feet high.
Once they are ready to go outside, I transplant them with promix and perlite, while using a Tropical slow release fert, 16-16-16, and also use fox farm organic bloom. I will send pics once they sprout, crossing my fingers and toes on that. Much mahalos, and I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out on the understanding of the necessity for a "Fert program" for a soil grow, I could never understand dropping 300 bucks on 10 different bottles of various ferts.

Germ rate Update: Total 48 hrs in paper towels, 5 GHS Lemon Skunk germinated and are planted, and 4 HSO trainwrecks germinated and are planted. All in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Cheers to new babies

Update 10/10/2012. All four HSO trainwreck seeds have now popped up through the soil and have to baby green leaves, also, 5 GHS Lemon Skunk have sprouted as well. HOOORAY! FFOF has not seemed to stunt or burn the seedlings to the point of death. Will keep you updated from the Big Island. Indy out!

Congrats on popping all beans, will be subbed in. For ferts I'm running with botanicare products. During veg and flower. There's a Hawaii thread here with a bunch of really skilled growers from the islands. As far as feeding schedules, Im flowering in 7 gallon pots and each plants get 2 gallons of tea, feeding happens ever 3-4 days pending on weather. Check out the Hawaii growers thread and I get some pics posted on page 999 or 1000. Shoots Hawaiian, good luck, alojahz

Nice 808HI! Those plants look killah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I decided to do DYNA Grow, Bloom and Protek. Just because it is kinda like an all in one fert system, and since I am busy as shit, I don't have alot of time to devote to specific nutrition demands. Though I am debating getting a pH tester, I just know which one to get, Amazon has lots of mixed reviews on all of their products. Maybe just good ol' pH strips?

Sorry for the crummy pic, but here are the girls at 12 days old View attachment 2384395

Update: Girls as of yesterday. So this should be around 22 days, I FIMed all of them, so they are set back about a week. All of the HSO trainwrecks look really indica, and mostly sativa for GHS Lemon Skunk. Enjoy the pics

Update: 11/16/2012: Girls are now 47 days old in these pic. They are under a 400 watt HPS and switched to 12/12 exactly 7 days ago. The HSO trainwreck and GHS lemon skunk spent 4.5 weeks in veg. They have been stretching and filling out quite a bit, it is a welcoming sight when the canopy starts to fill out. Some notes on the phenotypes.... GHS Lemon Skunk is 5/5 are all exhibiting sativa phenos, no short indica leaves anywhere to be seen. As far as HSO trainwreck, they are all indica pheno types, which is funny becomes HSO seed company advertises them as a Sativa dominant, so either way I look at it, it is probably a trainwreck variation. So next go around, I will not be buying HSO because they are obviously not up to par with their genetics.

What's good with the HSO plants? I just flipped some to 12/12 and was eager or see what you got out of them
