Couldn't help myself-got another pack of the Purple MAC attack. Phenomenal smoke. Pheno-hunt is on, boys!
My understanding has always been that rockwool cubes are pretty alkaline and that they need to soak in PH 6 ish water for 30 minutes. Maybe I should go lower in the future but once again that chem pie is the only one I’ve had a shitty germination rate with. Every other pack I’ve popped at least 8/10 have germinated. Last pack was the cookie crunch. Germinated it exactly the same way and 10/10 sprouted. 8/10 on the bodega. Before that I was only doing half packs and consistently got either 5/5 or 4/5, so the same ratio is at work here. The chem pie has been somewhat of an aberration, but I’m only slightly out of total noob territory and it could be that it’s just less tolerant to my bullshit.I just notched
I noticed you said Rockwool cubes, not sure what you buffer the pH to but I recently had to use those for cuttings and they're now labelled to pH to 5.5, if you only went to 6.3 or so that could account for the poor performance initially.
I had a pure power plant by nirvana seeds back like 12 years ago. Smelled like green baby shit, so nasty, but it actually had a nice honeycomb cereal taste to it.@santacruztodd
What was the smells you got off your Purple MAC(s)? I was congested last night when I went to check on mine. She's only 15 days into flower so not reeking at all yet but I could swear when I opened the tent I got a big whiff of just some straight nasty smell, offensively bad, I can't even pinpoint it. It's not catpiss or dogshit type, maybe baby diaper/puke or something? idk, was not pleasant at all, offensive enough I'd cut her down now if that's what she's gonna smell/taste like . Hoping I was just getting a whiff of the litter box in the other room or something I checked this morning but still couldn't really smell anything.
I had some strain before that was a cookies cross, IIRC, that smelled like baby vomit. It tasted and smoked fine but grinding it was dry heave worthy.I had a pure power plant by nirvana seeds back like 12 years ago.

One of my faves from back then so dont discredit that foul funk.
Most deffinately couchlock, i like lemon orange terpes something fruity , not into the dessert types like gelato or cookies ect,"I Want something good with phenos exclusive to myself"
That's pretty vague, You need to get a little more specific as to what type of high you like etc.
Looking really good are you running a journal for them ?Crappy pics, I need a bigger tent, but here's my Purple MAC at 15 days into flower:

I flowered at ~16" and she's right at 36" now. Having to pinch the stems to make sure she doesn't grow into the light. Packed in a 3x3 with a Russian Snow from Vision Seeds that's just as big as she is. She could damn near fill this tent by herself... Here's a lower flower:

I would have to say that the smell, while growing, was light grape/vanilla. Of course, I may have a different pheno from yours. Once dry, the flavor is much the same-a lot of the grandaddy purps came through on mine, so you have that grape initial taste, and then the expansion and vanilla indica. Overall grade A+ weed, some loser friends of mine have said it's the best I have produced.@santacruztodd

I know useful seeds sells blackened oranges, bag of oranges x black domina....His seeds are feminized and very reasonably priced. James bean seed co sells them.Most deffinately couchlock, i like lemon orange terpes something fruity , not into the dessert types like gelato or cookies ect,
The lemondawg caught my eye, but im just looking for good genuine genetics to work with next, these things take time. I have been with sensi seeds skunk1, white label white widow ,and sensi's sensi skunk. Its been a good blast i finished off with 30 nl5xhaze but tbh only 2 phenos were any good and not as amazing as i had hoped
I used to get good results from Pro-Mix actually, especially with a little added perlite. I found it to be cheap and easy and Menard's always has it. Then I decided since it was mostly inert anyway I might as well try something completely inert. So I tried perlite with a little vermiculite, in a recirc drip hempy SOG setup first, because I wanted something clean and simple that I could mostly automate. That worked well, but I moved on to straight perlite (first GPS run soon, hopefully!) because the verm was unnecessary.Pro mix at menards is cheap
