I am grabbing a front row seat on this one! Subbed.

Starting your journal on actual germination day. I am never so with it. Very cool my good chimp.



Ok, I'm ready now.

well the packet says 100% indica but perhaps I am missing something

LOL Oh I am missing something alright,
Just looked at your post and the light went off, sorry gonna have to blame my stupidity on being old and bad eyes

You're talking to a chimp who drank a gulp of calamine lotion thinking it was pep-toe bizzmall don't feel too bad about the eyes I got that going on too
Well all 6 seeds are opened I'll get them in the soilless mix tomorrow.

That is too great. I ALMOST put diaper rash ointment on my toothbrush the other day. That would have been a rude surprise. Why can't things go back where they belong.

Sweet to have 6 seeds germinate (I had a much more clever sentence involving nuts and popping but thankfully realized it was unintentionally beyond inappropriate).

Subbed!!! Your still growing strong Potchimp. I love it!!

Hey welcome I get good numbers when it comes to germinating seeds, Dr Bob almost 100% success. They're all up from the soil; I'll get a pic up as soon as I'm done with a few other things. I'll show everything I'm putting into the soil mix when I do it soon, too.

LA Affie - day 7 from seed:

 

[PotChimp]

Okay, here's my organic mix, which I put together today. I'm going to top dress my other plants if I have any left. This is based on each of these LA Affie plants being in a 2 gallon pot:

Base -

(3) 2 gallon pots of SSM#4 Advanced
(3) 2 gallon pots of FF's Happy Frog
6 cups of Alaskan forest humus
6 cups of earthworm castings

Amendments -

1-1/2 cups of Chikittee Doo Doo 5-3-2
6 Tbsp. of Superswell 0-7-0
6 Tbsp. of kelp meal 1-0-2
6 Tbsp. of granular mycos 3-1-2
3 Tbsp. of organic foothill fertilizer .5-4-4
2 Tbsp. of steamed bone meal 3-15-0
2 Tbsp. of rock phosphate 0-3-0
2 Tbsp. dry molasses

I watered this mix in with 1 gallon of RO water it's in a sterlite box and in about 4 weeks I'll transplant the 6 plants into it.

Here they are at 2 weeks - LA Affie:

 

[hockeybry2]

Those little rascals!!

 

[PotChimp]

I just read that this strain doesn't have a good yield (moderate) so I'll have to veg them longer than I usually do my plants. I guess I'll just get them as tall as I can in this unit (probably about 14-16"), then put them under the HPS.

 

[hockeybry2]

hopefully there will be a quality over quantity situation

 

[PotChimp]

They all look like this at 2 weeks and 4 days:

Post more pics soon.

 

[Dr Bob]

So healthy looking! Bet they are all about to take off.
