Germinated the seeds a few days ago via the paper towel method. Put them in the party cups two days ago and so far 1 HG and 1 SW have broken the surface. They will be under the 100 watts of CFLs for at least a week before I put up the MH.

LOL. Thanks for your interest, stay tuned!

Checked on the little ones this morning. They look happy as can be . Still only 2 for 4 so far . Waiting on the other HG and SW to break the surface. Ill give them another day before I start germinating the Sour Kush. I really wanted to grow 4 gals this run . Till next time

So I just looked in on the little ones and the other HG popped her head through:o,.....BUT I can see that the root is corkscrewed like a pigs tail right under the surface of the dirt. :(Not good. I sprayed the surface of the dirt with water that had a touch of Superthrive in it. Keeping my fingers crossed .

Sup kid! I'm in! Looking forward to your grow man, and I'm pretty jealous of your bean selection there

Great to have you along for the ride Ed! I just started germinating the Sour Kush. I have a feeling I won't be 4 for 4 with these beans. So far i'll call it 2 for 4 because of the root situation with the second HG.What if they all end up growing you ask?!? Then I grow 5 gals . LOL Don't be jealous of me Ed. Those are the only beans I have! A lot of you guys horde beans, wish I had the funds for that...

Ha! Well I'm certainly not one of the hoarders, but I have been trying to get a collection going - doomsday prepping LOL I'll probably be starting a Kush phase next year sometime, I have a lot of empty jars to fill in the meantime so I'm going with speed racers for now.

Hopefully your roots get all worked out, hell as long as it lives you can make whatever comes of it work I'm sure

Sounds good Ed. The root of one of the HG seedlings corkscrewed like a pigs tail. Hoping for the best .

Got home from work today and the little ones look good . I took a close up pic of HG1 and you can see the root kind of looks like it might be tying itself into a knot . WTF:confused: can it really be happening?!? Anyways I put the Sour Kush seed under ground and i'll be growing 4-5 gals. Till next time

Just checked on the little ones and they all look good. The HG1 with the twisted root looks good too. It hasn't grown vertically much but the leaves are getting bigger. The Sour Kush hasn't popped up yet. I would like to be able to put the MH up within a week.

So we are about a week into the grow and everyone looks healthy . The MH is going up in a few days, I just want to give the little Sour some more time to toughen up first. Next watering they start the H&G feeding schedule. Till next time

Day 10

Watered and fed 2 days ago and I have slight nute burn . My own damn fault. I tried the aggressive feeding schedule by H&G since I read the HG Kush are big eaters. Not yet at least . No more food for at least a week . Anyways growth is good. I plan on transplanting this weekend into their 4 gal buckets. I need to pick up some more hooks to start a little LST. Till next time

best to luck man lookin good so..



This is like if that Blue Oyster shit met that Afghan Kush I had - and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Northern Light stuff I had and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked - this would the shit that they birthed.

Thanks for stoppin in and showing interest. Stay tuned .

DAY 13

Transplanted today into their 4 & 3.5gal final homes. Their new growth shows no sign of burn from earlier in the week:o. Watered with a little Superthrive only. At least one more watering nute free before they get fed again. We'll see what they tell me. I also picked up a new "water pipe";) by Hi Si . Nice and thick, ice pinch, diffuser at the end of the female piece and the bowl has multiple small holes in it instead of 1 larger one. I plan on adding an ash catcher another day. Hits so smooth . Burnin some Special Queen#1 from my last harvest. Till next time :bongin:

Checked on the gals and they seem to have recovered from the transplant already .

Nice looking piece. I like the simple, clean designs as well.

Only a matter of time now before those gals take off.
