[Joe Brewster]

First off, a big @Canuk Seeds for the opportunity to join this grow, Thank you.
Going to start this journal now, but not going to drop seeds till tomorrow or next day.
Sorry I don't type much because of a few hand injuries when I was young. Now with old age (arthritis) & years of hard work, it's getting tougher. I always was more mechanical than a writer growing up.

So, if I'm late on a response it's not because I'm ignoring you.

Sounds like a great plan but question about your nutrients. I never heard of that before and was wondering if they’re liquid or not? CL.

Hi Captain welcome, they are liquid @con is using them also
But I have been using the 3-part + calmag & there bloom box

 

[Absorber]

I will definitely be lurking Cherry Pie is 1 of the strains I will be running too

 

[Porky82]

Got my confirmation email this morning!! I'll be receiving banana punch fems!! Terrible picture on their Website of what sounds like an epic strain!
Maybe if I do a decent job they can use the pics on their site!

Hopefully they pass the dicks at Aussie customs!!

Welcome, cool beans. Don't expect too much, I'm a keep it simple kind of budget grower.
It gets me high & friends all say it's better than the store bought.
Been smoking since the 80's

Hi JB mind if i follow along ? curious as to how the Future harvest using the micro, grow & bloom work's for you & are you following their feed schedule ?

 

[HashGirl]

Hi Joe.

I'm part of the Canuk comparative grow and I'm planning on following as many of the grows as possible. So far, it looks like we have a few people who really like their indicas.

Happy to see you con
Yes I am but on a lighter feed pretty much go by eye depending on plant size 2 feed 1 water
I also run their bloom nutrients, start, mid & bud boom + royal gold
I do have a blog on the bloom of a Tropicanna winter & summer grow here if interested.

Welcome @HashGirl I hope the Strawberry banana is as good as my Tropicanna banana

 

[Joe Brewster]

Dropped my seeds tonight, Game on
One of each plus a Dirty Mimosa & a Tropicanna banana clone (can't lose that strain till I find a better) 4 plant limit in Canada soaking in distilled water overnight w/ a few drops h2o2 3%

Hey Joe

 

[Vegan4life]

Good luck with your grow! I have my Canuk seeds Comparative journal started, I am also growing the Cherry Pie! I have four ladies sprouted and above soil. I'll be stopping by occasionally to see how your girls are doing...

 

[Joe Brewster]

Seeds have life, I put them in the soil this morning, on the heat mat till they break surface.
They never sprouted after 24 hours but did look like they cracked. I drained off the excess water, added some tissue & placed on the heat mat. Seeds can drown if left to long in water or over wet conditions

Gonna need a bigger popcorn machine Welcome

Seeds have sprouted the strawberry banana still has her seed shell on, so I placed back in bag till first set of leaves emerge. I like to bag them to keep the soil moist but as soon as they break surface, I remove them.

If you leave them in high humidity they will stretch & have a harder time adjusting to lower humidity when removed

Not much to look at so included a pic of my 20+ year old Hook needle Ball cactus & 15+Rat tail cactus

I grew the hook needle cactus from seed & the other from just a tiny piece of tail

An update on the seeds. Had to help the Strawberry Banana out, as it was shooting to the stars
