Well good news today! Yesterday morning first thing I went to the Post office and picked up my seeds, 10 Super Silver Haze Auto's Feminized and received 3 free Bubble Gum Feminized, got home and began germination. I germinate via using a dixie cup filling it up 1/3 the way with water and placing the seeds in the water. As of about 20 minutes ago 5 SSHA's (I only germmed 5) and all 3 Bubble gum seeds have popped. I will do my normal germ process and leave them in the cups for a couple more hours and then put them in a metal tin on damp paper towels to finish their tap root. Once on the paper towels tap root they should be ready for planting sometime this afternoon! So as I always put seeds in rockwool cubes, I have just began soaking my rockwool cubes. They get soaked in water with a little molasses and a very light concentration of nutes. Many people will say no no no nutes for first couple weeks, these arent in soil so they do need a little nute
I will be growing 4 of the SSHA and 2 of the Bubble gum in my new little Flood & Drain, this I am excited about, as it will be my first grow with this system, the system can be seen in my signature and the system is built off of info & design from Homebrewer & Dadio161
A little info on the Strains:
Super Silver Haze Auto
super silver haze /kush cross
Indica/Sativa Mix
Flowering Time: 75 days from seed (I have found that many people growing this are finishing around day 70-72)
Yield: Up to 200g per plant (yes I said it, up to 7 zips per plant) I have seen several people yielding 5-6 zips per plant
Bubble Gum (not auto)
Indica/sativa 55/45
Flowering 8/9 weeks (will be doing 4 week veg, so 12/13 weeks total)
Yield: On average seen these do about 3 zips per plant
Thought I would share whats going on in my world, and share some info on some strains and growing info, if any of these helps you, please +rep
Have fun!
