Lol. Since your suggestion to move my thread to General Growing it's gotten more activity in the last day than the one in Intro got in over a week. Thanks. Oh, and look at my started threads I opened one called "Food Thread" it looks somewhat promising check it out.

4 Days of flowering
39 Days from seed

Fed the plantz their nutes today.
1-Tbl Molasses
1-Tbl FF Big Bloom
3-tsp FF Grow Big

Also rotated them around in the tent.
I spin them 1/4-1/2 turn everyday too.

I plan on reducing the amount of Grow Big by 1 tsp next time.And introducing 1/2 tsp of FF Tiger Bloom.Slowly reducing the Grow Big and Increasing the Tiger Bloom as I go along.Hope this is correct?

Pix:

Group shots:
Back row- 2 Bubblelicous
Middle row- Baby Bubblelicous (29 days from seed)

Noticed yesterday while feeding that the White Castle had a small bump.Today it looks like I have a MALE....UGH.

I removed the White Castle and plan on killing the fucker.
My wife washed down the tent walls and floor just to make sure.Just LST'd it the other day and it was looking so nice...Sad... sad..day.

I'm using all Nirvana FEM seeds.....My luck I get a male...LoL (I know it happens)

Oh well, I still have 4 plants in my tent and they all look like girls(3 Bubblelicous,1 Master Kush).I'll post pix of them later.

You're welcome . And again, looking tits Low. I've got a new garden shot from a little bit ago. Check it out if you get the chance. Our rates of growth are in the same neighborhood. You switched to flowering slightly after I did but the differences are slim and none when you do a comparison.

I posted this in 2 threads already (Nirvana fanclub,Auto thread) because it pertains to those threads.Thought I'd post it in my own thread also if anybody is interested.


I had some problems with a few seeds from Nirvana.I contacted them and they're making it right.
Thought I'd share my correspondence with them.

My message to them:

"Hello there. I just wanted to notify you of some problems I had using your product. The AUTO Bubblelicious didn't flower automatically with a 18/6photoperiod and had to be induced by using a 12/12 photoperiod after 35 days of vegetative state. It is flowering now after 7 days of 12/12. Also grew one White Castle FEM seed to 35days veg. state, then induced flowering with 12/12 and within a few days it showed to be a male. I have a current grow journal at rollitup.org that you can check out. Here is a link:
https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/346858-first-time-grower-opinions-suggestions-11.html
Is there any chance of any replacement seeds?
Thanks for your time.
Low"

Here's their response:

"Hi Low,
We are sorry to hear about your issues with the particular seeds. I will resend you some more bubblelicious and white castle seeds to make up for the loss.
Your grow report looks great. We will be coming soon with a great new feature where you can write your own grow reports, ask questions for experienced growers, post pictures etc etc.
Peace,
Charlie
NIRVANA"

So,I think Nirvana's customer service is great.Just hope the new bubblelicous seeds are auto's.
I didn't even care if they sent me a new FEM White Castle.
I figured that a small % of them are gonna turn out male and I got unlucky with 1 seed.
If they didn't send me any replacements,I still would have continued ordering through them.I wish that my Bubblelicous did auto flower, but I am happy with the way they are turning out overall.
props to Nirvana


Peace

I've never ordered Nirvana stuff but from what I hear lots of their stuff can be hit or miss. Whether or not it's grower error or bunk seeds, I'd rather not chance it still. Props for dealing with them politely, I wouldn't have patience. I'm a "likes-to-get-what-I-pay-for-first" kinda guy lol. I've got a couple Bc bud depot strains and a couple others germing for next round's mothers and some TGA stuff OTW. I'm happy with my regimine for now I reccomend TGA Subcool's seeds. Great stuff and very stable genetics. In my experience thus far that is. Happy growing and toking Low bro. --HMD

Thanx for the tip on Subcool's seeds.I just saw that Attitude sells them...looks like they have some tasty strains.
It will be a lil while before I order seeds again.....stocked up for at least 3-4 grows in the future.LoL
