Ok, time to start the grow journal. I've been pretty paranoid about showing or telling people about it. With subtle hints and well worded questions i have been able to control or fix most problems. After talking to a friend and fellow GC local about genetics and grow techniques i have been urged to put my findings online for others to enjoy and offer input. So on that note i have been saving some seeds from some crosses i made a while back and decided to test them and make a journal about it. Seeds- Tiger Kush (Purple Paw x Pre-98 Bubba Kush) Barbie Berry (Lemon Cinderella x Pink Lady F2) Kurt Weed (unknown bagseed mix) Clones- Boognish Rising (Double Purple Doja x Black Rose) Orchid (unknown genetics) Mars OG (unknown genetics) BR and Orchid- 4 BR and 1 Orchid clone in 1 gal pots in forest compost/perlite mix and 3 BR in coco coir topped with perlite, all currently getting 2 tsp Fish & Guano 9-6-2 and 1 tsp Seaweed Extract 0.10-0.10-1.5 per gallon to raise K value and add trace nutrients to the mix. Feed the ladies every sunday and water them every thursday. Currently in a 1 3/4'x1 3/4'x4' box under warm CFLs 120 watts give or take and 1 24" 24w T5 to add cool blue spectrum. Added 3 jumbo night crawlers to 1 BR pot and another 3 in the orchid pot both in the compost/perlite mix. Tiger Kush- 15 seeds germinated in solo cups with coco coir pre-watered with 1/2 tsp per gallon of seaweed extract. 100% germ rate within 3 days. After first set of true leaves appeared i fed them 1 tsp F&G and 1 tsp seaweed burned them a little and one died now down to 14. Flushed them and tried again with same ratio after 2nd set appeared and most have been making slow recovery. Barbie Berry aka Pink Cindy- 15 seeds germinated in a perlite seed bed using the same seaweed ratio as the tiger kush seedlings in a spray bottle keeping moist not wet. All 15 are in hempy solo cups 8 are perlite with around 10% coco coir mixed in and the other 7 100% perlite getting 1 tsp F&G and 1/2 tsp seaweed per g every day or two as needed. The Kurt Weed seeds germinated in a different section of the same seed bed. 3 KW seeds were germinated and planted in hempy cups with only perlite. Mars OG- Cut from a beautiful mother owned by a friend, i have 9 freshly cut clones dipped in Dyna-Gro rooting gel and put into perlite hempy solo cups with 1/2 tsp per g of seaweed. All seedlings and the Mars OG clones are in a 3'x1 3/4'x2 3/4' box/section of an entertainment center ( grow center that brings entertainment) with 8 loose 24" 24w T5s. I also am currently blooming my BR mother and my Master Dan mother which is now the last of it after my clones died due to past infestation. I will repost with pics of all the ladies after the lights turn on.
Here are the mamas the darker one in te back is BR and the bushier one in front is Master Dan ( thanks to McEnroe Meds)
Transplanted a few more of the BR. The one under the CFLs is BR the soil consists of northern California forest compost, re-used Roots Organic soil, coco coir, perlite, powdered egg shells, blood meal, bone meal, mj scraps from topping the girls, Fujian Oolong tea, and about 50 red worms. Most of the Tiger Kush ( being renamed Panther Kush because of newly discovered name stealing issues) died from what I'm guessing is nute burn. They all smelled strongly of sulphur but one lives and was repotted I'm hoping it comes out fem. planted 11 more PK seeds waiting for germination in compost/ coco/ RO soil/ perlite mix in solo cups. This is my new fav soil mix by the way in my opinion I've been having way better luck keepin my micro life happy. Also took 4 BR clones 3 in rockwool 1 in peat pellet. And 3 Mars OG clones in rockwool all pre-soaked in 1/4 strength seaweed extract. Being sprayed with same mix.
Got a 150w hps to go with my bloom box plans. It's going into a 2x2x4 box for the Boognish Rising to finish up real cozy like. Boognish Rising Master Dan Tamale (mantis)

Panther Kish round 2 Pink cindi Panther Kush round 1 "Lilly" BR mother Orchid And recently rooted/ cut clones in different stages. There are Mars OG, Boognish Rising, Master Dan, and Orchid all under the dome.
Moving out of my apartment soon. Due to financial issues and a few other deciding factors I ended up pulling my Boognish Rising on day 50. No sacrifice at all here, she came out sweet, sticky, smelly, and beautiful. Enjoy.
