Girl Scout Versus Papaya - Plus 3 More Great Strains

[jrd0821]

Hello And welcome to my journal. This is my first time making a journal here. I've read up on how to start and post. So I will try my best. Here we go....

Strains
1. Papaya
2. Girl Scout.
3. White Widow
4. Alaskan Thunder
5. Mystery Strain

Soil grow.
I'm going to use a Fox farms organic mix, with mushroom compost, perlite, Pete moss. Threw in some worm castings, and a few other components. Been cooking this soil for a few days now.

I am going to use 5 gallon buckets, but going to start in 2 gal. Like to get a good stalk before i transplant.

Going to do
1/2 Fox farms
1/3 mushroom compost
1/3 Pete moss
1/3 perlite

These are the five strains I will be attempting this year.
We will be outdoors for this grow. Tried indoor once. Had a ton of problems. Mostly trial and error with that.

Last of all I wanna say thank you to the 420 community. You pepole are great. Looking for all the help or info people can give.

Pictures soon to follow. Thanks again.

Day one of germ For these baby's. Last time I did it this way I had a 90 percent success rate on germination. Gonna get the ball rolling on potting up the soil.

Will learn how to edit photos soon I hope. Thxs

And so it begins. We have life. Germinated 15 seeds and 12 sprout. Prety good odds right there. Since I have taken this pic I have already placed them in soil. I use a flower flat to start out my seeds. One they get there true leaves I will transplant them over to the 2 1/2 gal pots. Then later to the 5 gal pots. I will transfer the plants at least twice.

Last year I had a plant out grow a five gal pot. Hopefully this don't happen again. Thanks again guys.

Alright. So I finally get to do any update. So I've got the plants in a little potter flat.

They will continue there life her for about a month or so.

I have watered them with a little cal mag and humid acid. With a ph of 6.5

I tried these two last year with my grow and plants l i 've it. I am currently using a SNS Line of ferts. Thank to a little info from Lester. He introduced this product to me last year. Works really great. Other than that all is good will post a few more pics after this post.

Still trying to figure out how to make my photos right in photo editor, please bear with me. Thanks again

 

[jrd0821]

Just a few pics of some true leaves. Will label these guys here in the next few hours. That way you guys know what is what.

 

[jrd0821]

So quick question. Had 12 seeds germinating. I planted all twelve in the little flattered. I have had eight shoot right up after I put them in there.

I did make sure all seeds were split with the root showing before I planted. Any reason why the other four didn't come threw.

I am assuming bad seed, but not sure.

[jrd0821]

Really know one knows. It is what it is no biggy. I'll just keep figuring it out as I've done before.

 

[jrd0821]

Getting some labels ready. Just using plain popsicle sticks. I'm going to transplant a few of the girls today. These will be the three that are going into a 2gal pot for now. The others will soon follow.

This year's grow I'm not going for size or quantity, but strength and taste is what I'm shooting for.

Also can anyone set me up with a link to the photo crop area on the site. Can seem to get the picture right on my camera. Any help would be great.

 

[jrd0821]

So where we go with the updates. Got some of the girls moved over.

Just wanna say sorry about the photos. I tried for an hour to edit and post upright, but they don't wanna stay that way.

 

[jrd0821]

Again guys and gals sorry about the pics. Anyways I'll figure it out here soon. Just wanting some input. Let me know what you think.

Oh one more thing the blue dream just germinated yesterday. So you won't see the stem or leaves yet, but it in there I promise. She was a late addition that a friend would like me to grow for them.

Again Thanks.

 

[jrd0821]

Man I remember when everyone would respond to post. Now it seems everyone has a little click they run with. No biggie though. If some one wants to chime in great if not enjoy the show and the info you might get from this journal. Thanks.

Sorry I needed to vent a little. Now I'm gonna enjoy some meds and shilack for the night peace out.

 

[jrd0821]

Just playing with photo editor. Got it figured out

 

[Timeout420]

keep us updated on these babies, they are looking fine for my untrained eye.

good luck with your grow friend

 

[jrd0821]

Thanks timeout. Appreciate your dropping in on my journal. These babies will do just fine. I hope.

I started them 3 weeks later than last year. In doing this I am hoping for shorter veg time, and be able to control growth a lot better with LST and topping, and a little defoliation in there also. Shoulb be fun.

Thanks again .

 

[Timeout420]

definitely will be fun to watch them grow

they say nature's way is the best way so keep ur hopes high
