Allright, so a little progress report is in order here...April 1st was germination day, and I put the seeds into paper towels at 1 AM...Well 24 hours later and we have liftoff!!! Turns out 11 of the 20 seeds I put in to germ have popped and are now in soil, tonight will be 48 hours and I'm eager to see if anything else is ready to go into soil.

What Germed:
2 x THSeeds Heavy Duty Fruiity
2 x THSeeds Darkstar
1 x THSeeds SAGE
1 x THSeeds Burmese Kush
2 x Barney's Farm Dr. Grinspoon
2 x Nirvana Blue Mystic
1 x Dinafem White Widow

Still waiting for:
1 x THSeeds Kushage
5 x Nirvana Blue Mystic
1 x Barney's Farm Dr. Grinspoon
1 x G13Labs NL Auto(growing this one indoors)
1 x Dinafem Diesel

So in other words, more than half popped already...at work now, but can't wait to check on the rest!!
excellent progress report. you got the memo about the tps report? good, great. man i am floating on a CBD-heavy strain i just picked up called Omrita. it's 10% cbd and only 5% thc. it's like i'm high, but i'm not confused or have any short term memory issues. more in control. sorry to ramble, progress resport looks good, look forward to the update on the other 9.

Dude, I like the new avatar a lot, I might have to get in on this animated avatar action soon! BTW...Have you seen my stapler?

awesome buds man. +rep
Right on, more to come, stay tuned!

Allrighty folks, so yesterday at the 24 hour mark, we had 11 of 20 beans popped and in soil...now today, at the 46 hour mark, 7 additional beans have popped and are also in party cups!!! The only 2 beans that haven't popped are freebies, and all the seeds I paid for (that i've tried to germ so far) have split and been planted!

So here's the rundown on whats in soil now:

7 x Nirvana's "Blue Mystic"
3 x Barney's Farm "Dr. Grinspoon"
2 x THSeeds "Heavy Duty Fruity"
2 x THSeeds "Darkstar"
1 x THSeeds "SAGE"
1 x THSeeds "Burmese Kush"
1 x DinaFem "White Widow"
1 x G13 Labs "NL Automatic" (Think i'm growing this one inside)

And the only 2 beans that havent popped are:

1 x DinaFem "Diesel"
1 x THSeeds "Kushage" (This was one of the dinky seeds, a bummer cause I really wanna grow this strain...but then again, the G13Labs seed was the dinkiest and it popped, so I still have hope for the Kushage)

So 46 hours, 18 of 20 seeds popped and in soil...Not too shabby if I do say so myself, 90% isn't bad for less than 2 full days! And I just KNOW the last 2 really want to germinate for me, so I got my fingers crossed!

90% pop rate is awesome man! Now what are you gonna DO with all those seedlings? I have such a hard time disposing of any healthy plant, or even sick plants, that's why I have four indoor tomato plants now that I don't know what to do with. Once they're rooted I get attched... Anyway, right on man. I have seen your stapler by the way, but I'm gonna have to go ahead and take that from you.

Man, I know what you mean, luckily I'll be keeping most of them. Alot of them were feminized seeds, and I just have to sex out the HeavyDutyFruity, Darkstar, and Blue Mystic...So I probably won't end up with TOO many.

And I checked on the last 2 beans I have germing before I left for work, and I'm strongly thinking that when I get home I will have the DinaFem Diesel seed to plant as well, which would bump my germ rate up to 95% on 20 seeds, which isn't horrible....But I WAS shooting for 100%, haha, too bad the Kushage was a dinky seed...I still have hope for it though, and I really hope the diesel is ready and waiting for me at home. Seriously, I can't even make it through the whole day at work without logging on here and expressing my eagerness...lol...Luckily I had some down time today!!

Well, in some perverse desire to save money for my upcoming Vegas trip, and maybe just out of sheer impatience, I've chopped a branch. I'd say it's medium size, I definately have a couple bigger ones, not to mention the main kola, and there are a few smaller than this one, so it's right in the middle of the pack. I dunno, I'm thinking about going back in there and cutting a couple more, since I know I'm gonna smoke a lot in Vegas. So here's the first of the oficial budporn from Lefty, hanging to dry as I type. Here's the branch, I broke it a long time ago and it never healed over, but it didn't slow down that bud either!

And again, after a little haircut. Trichomes on this branch were mostly cloudy, a few scattered amber, hardly any clear...I think it might be time...

Stay tuned for more, might be posting another video soon!
And here are a couple short videos of Lefty, 8.5 weeks into flower, right before I cut the branch off

Well, I got a little scissor happy, and since I am planning on smoking a lot on Vegas, I decided to trim up a few more tops, all together including the first one, I did five, I have 5 main tops + the kola left, the pictures tell all...lol...

And here is what leftover of Lefty after I attacked her with the scissors...lol...Think I left the best for last, though, that kola is looking sweet, and that other top has a lot of really nice lower buds on it too...

It smells like you spilled fuel on fresh rubber and used a skunk to wipe it off...Delicious, it's fuely skunky and sweet.

DinaFem Diesel popped, only the kushage hasn't germed yet, I'll give it a few more days. Thats a 95% germ rate so far...More so I'm beginning to have worries about the seeds I planted in soil, since I watered them after I planted and now that they've been under the lights a couple days, the top layer of soil is sorta crusty...I hope these beans have the strength to bust through!! It would be sorta a comic tradgedy if I had such a good germ rate and then none of the seeds made it out of soil...lol!!!!

you didn't bury them too deep right? i think if you keep it moist and warm, they'll make it. i got faith in your seedlings brother! good luck man.

Yeah, one of the 2 popped, the DinaFem Diesel, so only 1 of 20 left un germinated...But I'm sorta anxious about the seeds I already planted in the soil. I watered after I planted, and now the top layer is sorta hard and crusty. I hope they're strong seeds and just push through...I dunno, we'll see, I'll try to be patient.

Naw, not deep at all, it's cool, I just watered a little and I sorta dug a couple up, and the seeds are shooting their taproots down, so I'm gonna try not to stress out about it. But yeah, they're shallow, and now it's just the waiting game. If all else fails, I have a few more seeds from my order, and like 5 more of those humboldt bagseeds, so I could always try for round 2 if these ones don't make it.

Ok, so ater a little late night tending to the garden, I'm happy to say that I now have roots on one of my clones! I'm surely hoping there are more to follow, but at least there is one guaranteed female right there, even if it is some unknown strain I got in a bag of some outdoor weed grown in humbolt...And those guys don't usually fuck around up there...

But yeah, aside from the minor success with the clones, I'm also seeing some seeds startingto emerge from the soil, not sure if I did that watering a few hours ago, but it seems like everything is looking normal, seeds about to split and shed their shell...Gotta remind myself every day that patience is the key, and not to fuck around with my plants too much...So opposite of outdoor growing, where I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of work, but I chock that up to the difference in quantity between in indoor op and my outdoor grows.

Anyway, keep it real guys and gals, until next time!

So my fears of the seeds not being able to break the surface were ridiculous, and sometime very soon I shall have lots of little babies to care for! A few have already broken the surface :)

Definately a smoke report to come soon, of the few bongloads I did snag, oh man, right up to par with the bomb shit!

Nice! I had to harvest a branch from the plant I harvested tonight a couple of weeks ago and it is some bomb ass shit. Gets you super stoned and the highs last upwards of 4 hours. Was a little rough though.
