Sounds like a nice lil mix. "Cheese" strains are a fav of mine right now. There is a blue cheese floating around town right now that smells like garly feet and blueberries. Tastes delicious. White widdow will stack your yield up a bit, being a commercial strain. Tangerine dream will taste and smell great.
Buzz names like White Widdow, Kush, and Chronic often mean that the strains are getting too purebread on stale genetics. You know how purebread dogs always have some wierd illness or condition they get? Same with plants. You may get a gangster ass Doberman that does exactly as it's told, or you may get a twitchy cross eyed chiwawa that shits in your bed every night...

Lol! Thanks man, im very anxious to get the cheese goin! I think it will turn out to be a fav of mine also from what Ive read. Im excited about the Tangerine Dream as well, but havent heard as much feedback on it. I guess since its a newer strain, but I have heard ppl having trouble w germ on the TD. Anyways, thanks for the reply!

Attitude is the distributer. Not the breeder.

The Breeders are already listed in the OP. White Label. Barney's Farm. Sweet Seeds.

The Tangerine dream is definitely being reported as having some germination issues. I suggest you do not use the paper-towel-method with them. Instead, use coco fiber. Plant the seed about 1/2 inch down, keep it moist, and wait about 5 days. I use a 27w daylight cfl bulb above them before they hatch which seems to speed up the process by about a day. You will get much better ratios this way.

How are you going to be growing them?

Thanks Snow Crash! Will def try your method instead of the paper towel method. Do you recommend this method on all strains? This is our first indoor setup, its actuallly my husbands dream that is finally coming true lol. I must say I have alot of confidence in him, as he has researched and studied diff methods for years. But I am learning alot and really excited to get things going. We have a 3x3x6 secret jardin tent w a 600w cooltube DWC using coco fiber i think. He also bought some Flora Nova and Humbolts Bush Master. So, what do u think? lol

 

[Snow Crash]

Hey GrowMomma,
I do recommend this method on all strains. I'm a big proponent of coco as a seed starting media and it sounds like you guys are implementing it in your DWC with the net pot inserts which is great. The paper towel method introduces all kinds of variables that just don't exist when you plant the seed in a good moist and inert media. Essentially the methods are the same, except there is no handling of a tender tap root. To each their own... But I find coco to be superior. I'm 56/57 starting seeds in it.

With Bushmaster I know that Emerald Triangle (the mfg) recommends foliar spraying it along with a kelp extract like Nitrozyme or Maxicrop. They claim to get the best results applying it this way. Just don't go over board with the stuff. Just two milliliters can be 1.5 milliliters too much.

 

[growmomma]

Thanks for all your wonderful advice. Are you talking shredded coco obviously for germ? All we have now is coco coir cubes for the medium. Do u recommend these? lol

 

[Snow Crash]

Definitely the shredded up stuff. It should look like coffee grinds, or kinda like coarse peat.

I don't think the cubes/chips are the right stuff
