Today is day 14 since watering the Chronic seeds and 5 out of 6 made it to today there is only enough room in the mother tent for 4 plants so i repotted the runt outside and i checked on her today and all is lookin well theres some signs of new growth and to think i was going to just through her out. Im haveing some trouble keeping the PH at 5.6, within the space of 12/16 hours it raiseis from 5.6 to 5.9/6.0 can anyone tell me if this rise is normal? cause it seems that im constantaly ajusting this shit, the EC is stable at 1.1 and all in all the potential mothers are lookin happy, im away for a fue days so cant get pictures uploaded till monday but untill then happy tokein mofos
Oh 1 more thing, for everyone whos helped me with all the feckin daft questions cheers guys

 

[Strain Hunter]

Just 1 quick thing the nutes im useing for the veging are

35ml Sensi B
40ml Vodoo Juice
all in a 35ltr res.
Feeding times are every 2 1/2 hours for 15 min and just one 15 min feed dureing the 6 hour dark period, i will raise the EC to 1.4 in time when the mothers have established a nice growth rate and root system, i cant wait to start takeing cuttings

m8, when i found out [a few years back now] that you could grow in hydro i was amazed, everything about it i found fascinating myself, it must have been the methods tec or something but it got me hooked big time, when i raise the funds ill be upgrading, system etc, if you ever decide to switch to hydro start of small i found out the hard way fucking up 49 Big Buddha Cheese in a homemade NFT system in the back of a transit van but, i averaged around 2 1/4 ozs per girl and was a total nightmare but a lot of lessons learnt, anyway m8 glad you found the journal and when ya do decide give hydro a wirl good luck m8 lol, C U Around

Help guys, ive got a bit of a problem, 2 of my 4 potencial mothers have a very bad case of leaf curl i realy dont know whats causeing this because all 4 have the exact same condictions water temp, tent temp, same nutes, but 2 continue to curl their leaves, new growth and all, heres a fue pics, if anyone can help id be forever grateful, thanks......

This is the worst case, 2 are fine and as you can see this is buggered as they say..

 

[Strain Hunter]

Ok guys, ive eventuly got the dam leaf curl problem sorted YEEHA!

So ive went on to take 12 cuttings of each of the 4 plants, ive took these cuttings pyor to knowing the sex of the plants, if ive timed it right i should know the sex of the 4 plants in a week or two, ive got all cuttings labbled and if any of the 4 plants turn out to be male i can remove them from the process, im trying to save time as i would love a harvest for Christmas.

The cuttings have been in the propagtor since friday and nothing has happened as of yet but still lookin good, the mothers are recovering now and are looking well, its just realy a waiting game now.

The propagtor is on a PH of 5.6 with no nutes and the sprinkler runs 24/7, mothers on an EC 1.3 and PH of 5.6, fed every 2 1/2 hours for 15 min.

Heres a fue pics of the 4 potencial mothers and cuttings........ Peace.........

[Strain Hunter]

Well guys whats up , has anyone had any experance with the x-stream propagtor, also, was just wondering the ideal water temp for misting my cuttings, because they ave been in this system since friday and cant see any noticable changes to any of the cuttings, maybe im just freakin out a little..............

 

[Strain Hunter]

Ok guys just a quick update, i've changed the light cycle of the mother tent to 12/12 to sex my 4 possible mothers.

Preflowers are NOT visable yet and its begining to melt my loaf so lets get the sex of these and be done with it

 

[Strain Hunter]

Im also tryin to get a Northen lights cutting at the min to have a bit of choice when it comes to my own smoke, ya know....

 

[Strain Hunter]

Well that idea is a non starter, the guy wouldnt even part with 1 cutting for 2 Chronic beans, so im placeing an order for the sativa mix from GreenHouse seeds, heres the list of and some pics on each of the 5 strains.....
A bit of variety is always good

 

[The Weed]

I love Sativas Stain Hunter! Great choice That Arjan's Strawberry Haze is on my list to try. GreenHouse Seeds good seed. I have very good luck with that company. do you want the female seed verison of the same mix, they sell that too.

Well hows tricks m8, Why whats wrong with the femmed versons of these packs? I was in the middle of buying that sativa mix on Green House seeds own site and they didnyt acept my card so i found a different company and came accross a sativa/indiga mix with strawberry haze along with lemon skunk, the lemon skunk done it for me.....

 

[Velodrone]

Looking very NICE StrainHunter. I will tag along if you don't mind. I was going to use Advanced on my grow. I went with FF though. Hydro would be a little to scary for my first time. Good job so far. Glad to see that you got that leaf curl under control.
