Haha, no shit. I've always used it but with all the cleaning and all of the shit I have hydroton everywhere. I don't mind it in this setup, but the tray full of hydroton is a real bitch. It pinches your fingers when you try to pick it up, it leaves dust everywhere and is overall just a real pain in the ass. But I love the additional rootspace it provides and I've got my system down pretty well now so it's not SUCH a pain in the ass.
I changed to cellmax, its like 1/4inch minature cubes.

I'll look into that. I used to just use rockwool slabs and cubes and it was easier, but I switched to this. I'll look into something different over the summer when I'm not really growin' my meds, but doing more experimenting due to the heat.


Things are looking good, I took a couple of pictures because that's generally how I evaluate my own plants. I can take more time and look more carefully if I just snap photo's, look at them and decide what's wrong or right with my girls. Somtimes I miss things when I just briefly poke my head in there.

We have a clear mutant, but I don't think I've ever had a grow without one (from seeds). I'm not sure if it'll just grow out of it's mutation or what, but I never get rid of them for some reason.

Growth has been pretty good over the last 3 days and I'm fairly happy right now. I also have a new puppy for this grow too, those that followed the WW grow might be interested in knowing that my lab is now 63lbs as of yesterday!

This is the new guy and he's just 7 1/2 weeks old. So he's part of this "grow" as well.

Anyone notice the distinctly odd thing about the mutant? Alternating nodes at the second node. What the fuck?

I never send money up front brotha. I always order with a credit card so if they try to fuck me I can call my credit card company and tell them.

Every story I've heard of people gettin' fucked and screwed over has been someone who just send money up front with a printed form.

I was happy with kindseed.com and I have nothing but the best to say about them thus far, they even sent me 12 seeds instead of 10, but anyone can jack your envelope full of money along the way.

And yes, I do know how it is to watch veggin' plants. I try to keep the picture posts to weekly, but this mutant is trippin me out. I don't think I've ever had a plant with the second node alternating.

Kindseeds.com! Good lookin! Hope they send 12 instead of 10 also. I like veggin plants. U can tell what kind of personality they are gonna have and what to expect in the future.

haha nice laser! scribed, u talking pic 2? where the node on the left is a little higher?

Yeah...that's a trip right? That plant is alternating nodes already. It's grown a bit since the pictures and it's clear to see the alternating nodes and deformations on that one.

Just chuggin' along. It looks like there's 2 that are falling behind and that are just flat out bad pheno's. So out of 12 seeds I got 8 truely viable seeds in the end. The mutant could grow through it's genetic troubles, but it's unlikely. I'm thinking that's just not going to happen as it's lagging behind. There's another one that is also growing in a little "sidewayz" you could call it. The leaves aren't twisting and it's hard to explain ,but a few of the leaves have "turned" so the stem has a 90 degree bend in it.

Anyway, everything else is chugging along and vegging there way up to size. It'll just be a bit longer before I take the first cuttings and get them to root for the purpose of sexing.

subed..looking good
Thanks

Scribed here of course..... What took me so long???
I don't know, but these are the early stages. Plenty early.

LST which lady? I'm going to grow these all the natural way as that's the way I like it. I SCROGed my last grow and I grew the one before it straight up. I admittedly didn't fill the screen as efficiently as possible, but the yield was nearly identical. I maybe could've gained another 2-3 zips by adding another plant or two and really filling the SCROG, but all of the hassle that came with it made it too much of a PITA for my purposes. So there won't be any LST or any topping on this grow. I should preface that by saying I always do a LITTLE bending for canopy management, but no twisting around the buckets or anything of that nature. I want to see if this strain grows big cola's or what it does naturally.

Hell yeah. looking good
Thanks.

fuckin right, those are from VISC seed company right? and what site u order from?
The seeds are from VISC and I ordered them from kindseed.com. I used a CC and did not blindly send money overseas. I've heard lots of problems with intl. money orders and cash payments with alot of seedbanks (kindseed.com included). But when I ordered via a CC they sent the seeds no problem and I believe they arrived in 8 days.

Laserbrn how's it going I made some changes and am happy with the way things are going now. Will post pic's later tonight.

I moved my FI from 100% promix to 50% coco and promix then gave them a good drink and food and they are different plants now. I not bitchen about how slow they are anymore. I sexed the other 2 and they are both females. 5 for 5 , the others that did not make must have been the males. LMAO
I think I have 2 pheno types. #5 is a fat bushy plant and the others are tall. I think these are going to be more like the pictures.

:peace:

I'm glad that yours picked up some pace in growth. I really don't have any complaints about the growth rate thus far. I think it's right about on track. Here's a pic from the 12th and the 16th. You can see the growth difference in 4 days and I'd say that's about what I'd expect at this stage. Most of these are now getting their 5th and 6th nodes and the branching is just starting right on schedule. So I would definitely not call these "slow veggers", but rather average. I do have a couple that are lagging behind but I think it's just their genetics. They both have mutations so I think they'll get chucked. They aren't quite to the point of hopeless yet though, once they fall too far behind it'll be a losing battle with the light and I'll get rid of them. They get to decide how bad they want to live.
