My Angels Heart Test Grow

[My Mate Dave]

Well i was just about to give up on them and leave for the day when what pops through the door?

Then i realise i have no root riot cubes which i like to start my seeds in, and no compost, so the paper towel method it is...

i wasnt expecting to start any more seeds for a while so i just started ten, all i have to do now is find some space for them somewhere

cheers shanti.

Best of luck with em, madmanc! I'm sure you'll find somewhere for em

 

[scaramanga]

Good luck with them Madman.

 

[My Mate Dave]

Cheers Chaps.

Ten out of Ten beans popped in around 36 hours.

They are now in some Jiffy pellets which i stole earlier from my grans greenhouse.

On monday im going to buy a 200w enviro and leave them under that in my cupboard for the first few weeks, then i'll either re-arrange stuff in my tents or buy another tent for a new veg room, and veg them under a 400w hps till they are ready to go into flower.

Nice One Mad Manc!

10 for 10 .. it doesn't get much better than that eh?.. well.. mutant twins maybe, in one seed.. but then again...maybe not


Sounds like a good plan you have, personally I love the enviro CFLs, careful though, they're quite heavy with the built in ballast and so can "bend" some reflectors... I use the cheapest reflectors I can find though, they can warp all they like as long as they hold

 

[My Mate Dave]

Cheers J, ive actually got the enviro seup minus the bulb, becasue i have a habit of breaking them

i use a reflector that came with a 250w hps and attach the bulb to it with zip-ties.

good on you m8

Hmmm not really mate, i kinda messed up somehow with the first ten beans, none have shown their heads through the jiffy's yet and after 6 days i gave up hope and dug up a couple and they dont seem to have grown since they went in the jiffy's, not sure if ive handled them too roughly or the temps may have dropped or something(first beans ive germed in nearly a year - i just left them in the kitchen thinking it would be hot enough ) or maybe its the jiffy's.

Anyway i popped the remaining 11 into a glass of water yesterday, most are split and they have now been gently transferred into root riot cubes and are sat in a prop near to a thermo-controlled oil radiator, so there should be no problems this time, i also popped 9 2009 medcine man donated by a kind friend, most of the seeds have popped open already - so its good germ rates all round i reckon.

Apols to everyone(esp shanti and the mr nice team) for letting the side down with the first tem beans

 

[My Mate Dave]

Ok we are back on track .

Most of the seeds are begining to poke their little heads above ground, i have also solved the space problem, these are going to be flowered in a fairly large room at my mates place under some 600w hps lamps, i have 11 Angel Heart, 9 Medicine Man plus 6 AK and 6 WR from serious seeds, all the females will be flowered and cloned and the best of the best kept for mothers, i am starting to get really excited

 

[My Mate Dave]

hey folks, sorry for the lack of replies/pics, things have been pretty hectic this last few weeks.

My plants ended up spending 7 days in my living room getting sun light through the window, thus they havent developed much yet and are a little stretched, they are now vegging under a 400w hps at my friends palce though, will start with the pics on monday or so...

 

[shantibaba]

Hi All

would be good to see a new set of photos as the plants develop. Cheers for the info to date all the best Sb

 

[My Mate Dave]

Really sorry for the lack of updates on this shanti, i moved house and had some major dramas at work over the last few weeks so i couldnt access the net and tbh i havent taken any photos yet, my plants are now in the room i mentioned at my mates place and looking very very nice according to him, i havent seen them for two weeks, but i'll get round there and get pics in a day or two.

 

[My Mate Dave]

pics as promised, i was in a rush so the quality aint great, things are calming down now though so i should have no more probs doing weekly pics.

The groups shot is a Angel heart on the left and two medicine man.

 

[My Mate Dave]

The pics really dont do the plants justice, they look very well, temps maybe a problem with this heatwave were having here in the uk though, so strange wanting it to be hot but not wanting it to be hot.

 

[My Mate Dave]

one more and a group shot of all we have have vegging.
