Okay... seeing that Troutie has set two new seeds to germ, I got the inspiration to set two more of my own lmao!

Can't believe I actually did, but I figured I may as well make use of the new space I have and have six plants for my next session in the flower box instead of 4.
Just another two of the random Haze regs that I'm growing already. But I do know for a fact that it smokes okay so on that basis I don't mind. If they're both males... then fuck it, I got cheese and some heavyweight shit coming in March-ish and I'm very happy about that :) With some possible Big Bud as well if it turns out to be female.

After the catastrophy earlier with the fan falling on my girls... things seem to have settled. My temps have even leveled out from moving it to the intake. Only trouble is that I now have no exhaust (hence the higher temps - 27C-ish). Humidity has risen also as a result, am seeing condensation forming around the doors. But I will no doubt have another fan set up before this new lot goes in, AND another larger bulb. So it's all good :)

Seeing as I've started new threads for the new girlies... And this thread is all about the bag seed haze, I'll keep the two noobies in this thread. Having another new one would be just stoopidlly time consuming!

I haven't got out my leaf blower yet, it's been raining. But I still intend to see if it can work with my exhaust. My first concern is that it'll be too breezy as they're quite blowy them things... but that may be a good thing when I get the new bulb in there as it's gonna be swelteringly hot in there!

yeah i'm starting to worry about your state of mind bro...lol... toooooooo many plants :-)

well i have just seen my two have cracked ....( i can't fault the method of folding them in moist kitchen paper in a plastic tub ... that is stood ontop of the sky receiver). less then 24 hrs

right i'm not sure about the leaf blower mate ..... think its gonna go bang in about 2 hrs ... if i'm allowed to be that honest? .... and that condensation will shift and your humidity will ease when air starts moving mate ... have no fear :-)

i'm now having to vent like mad as the weather has changed again 80 degrees and stinking of weed inside the cab..... but other then that everything is okies

Yeah I hear ya about the noise and the humidity...
I think you're right though. I may have to give another PC the chop lol
The server I have running at the mo is a temp PC as my proper server crashed a while back and died. If I can get that repaired then I'll have at least one more fan to use from this temp PC, which in all honesty should be enough...

This time though, I shall be scraping a hole in the cellotex for the fan rather than trying to gaffa tape it to the wall pmsl

As for the 'too many plants', I'm sure I can cope with them as long as I have things setup in time.

F/P yes, B/B should see some when I get out there later, it was just about to break surface last night.
Two haze's we'll have to see in two days time .

I never tried the kitchen towel thing, but everyone seems to be doing it. I guess it's what works innit, different strokes and all that. I've always just popped seeds into the soil and they've always popped true, so if it works don't try and fix it eh lol

I'm just wondering if I'll be as lucky with these two haze bag seeds. The current lot's ratio was 3 fems from 5 seeds - which is flippin brilliant, I know! 2 of one strain and one of another. So if only one of them is fem, or neither, I won't be too disappointed.
Then there's the B/B which is a reggie too. So I could effectively lose three from this new batch. Hence my not worrying about the space thing :) I can actually fit eight into my new cab in total (if I really had to). But if they're all fems, then WOOO happy daze! :)

Temp in the veg cab is 30C so in the propagator is probably a few degrees warmer. Can't really help this, but it appears to be doing what it's supposed to.

I do wonder if the high temp is what's effecting my clones...

i don't think so ... i'm sure they like it quite warm, but hate bright light to start with... 30c or slighly above should be fine, if your seeds germ ok then clone should develope roots if my theory is correct, could have been the light or a weakness in the cloning prosess maybe.

Thanks man, I think they're okay too. I just worry until they actually show signs of taking root.
