12 hours of good sunlight followed by even just some small cfl's for 6 hours would be good I think (careful if the temperatures will get very high in direct sun). Try that for a week, maybe with an hour of HID a day too, then increase the HID gradually until they're under it 18/6 (or whatever...
If you do use the HID for a seedling then make sure it's a long way away. For a 250W I would suggest you want it about 4ft away for seedlings, any closer and you might freak them. See how they cope, then start moving it closer. If however you have good sunlight levels where you are the by all...
I was lazy when harvesting Shiva Shack, and got no pictures. Enjoying some tester buds from her now. Really lovely energising yet spacey high. Very uplifting. Here are a couple of nug shots from the testers, covered in frost- I'll get some shots of the upper buds once I tuck into them...
Just checked my seedlings, birthed using the paper towel method. All four are growing fine, one however does have some slight blotching on the leaves. I find myself wondering if this would have occurred had I simply planted the seed in soil after a soaking, as is recommended by a very...
Nice one dude. Would love to see pics of them. I've got a grow thread in my sig, feel free to pop them in there. I've just germinated an Extrema, and she's about 5 days old. Really big leaves for such a small seedling. I'll pop some pics of her in there soon too.
Interesting. Wouldn't have thought of that. Makes sense though.
I'll keep popping in here, see which lights are doing the best for you. My next grow could well have a chronic cross in it too, be interesting to see some quality chronic buds.
Thanks dude! Appreciated.
Says 10-11 weeks on sannies site. I reckon that's gonna be about right. Will probably pull her closer to week 10, so about another 13 days.
The strain is Shackzilla (Super Silver Haze X Shack) from Sannie - Super Silver Haze Pheno (with maybe a little Shack in the smell). Pictures from day 57 of 12/12.
Smells like ripe mango/honeydew melon, haze, with coffee hints.
:weed:
Some pictures of Tall Hazey Shack from today - day 57 of 12/12. There are some leaf issues, due I believe to something of an imbalance in her feed, but she's so far along now, with only a couple of weeks left that I'm not worried about it. I put 10 litres of plain water through her, then...
I predict 12 pages! lol
The buds from my organic plants, grown under 600W HPS, using BioBizz 'Grow' 'Bloom' 'Algamic' and 'Bloom Cal/mag' are dense as hell. Even sat doms have big solid colas and lower buds that are rock solid. I use training so don't get much popcorn (although the little...
Although I get seriously good germination, I also get occasional plants which grow funny. Almost mutant. With properly deformed leaves at the start of their life. After reading Uncle Ben's post I can't help wondering whether some form of adulteration has occurred with me using the paper towel...
