Launching this Heirloom Grow the Week of Aug 20th… 3 seeds from each Strain will be Float Germinated, with the healthiest Candidate from each strain eventually getting grown.
My low level ceiling in the basement is going to present some challenges on its own, but crop mgmt is part of this grow. Small and regular up-pots, all while keeping it small.
I’ll be taking a page from DeFharo’s book, and will be running the Lights in Veg / Flower, from a very close range. Definitely keeping these Famous lanky nodes “tight”
- St. Vincent x LambsBread
- Oaxacan
- Congolese
- HangGaron Squirrel Tail (thai stik)
**still (wanting) considering;
- BHADRA, india
- PUNTO ROJO x RED SNAKE = (punto rojo 🇨🇴 x Oaxaca 🇲🇽)
I’ll be working with a New Mars Hydro Tent; 4x4’ and the height will have been reduced by 3 to 4” due to my basement height. The Phlizon 650w light will be hung from Studs, not the Tent, so we can max the available lite height.
Lots of little details getting rolled over. And I’m prepping some Soil this week.
Bringing it to life !

August 23rd
- seeds got Wet today
- Sativa Landrace Bhadra has been added to the line-up, extending the Global approach of this Grow to include India
- these are not old seeds; There are no agents in the water, no sand-paper in the film canister. Hoping to float these till the tail’s are an inch long.
-Soil is getting familiar with itself… pieces come together within the week
- freshly Germinated Seedlings will see 24hr lite in the 32” tent for a week, then be transferred to their Home tent for Week 1, under the Phlizon

A.m., the squirrel Tails threw out a pair of Tails overnite; 60 hrs-in

- tent has heat and growing RH%
28th
- a congo was planted (relief) and the other 2 will be this evening
- Caribbean Dream was also planted 3 out of 3 as well
- squirrel tail and 2 congo get planted tonight. Final count-down for floating
- 2 Oaxacan have broken ground. A Carib Dream has broken ground, Bhadra has popped and I removed the membrane from each Seedling. Shells slid off
- watered and humid domes replaced for next 8 hours then they’re on their own
- awesome start
- 4 strains represented above Ground after 24 hours in Soil
29th

30th
-establishing conditions in the tent. Light has been getting lower and lower all week. 23cm off the plant tops. 27.5c and going a bit higher. Shooting for 60% RH
@420DeepGrow, yes and I’m jacked. Roots poking through the fabric had me sending the plants into the next phase. Up-Pot to 3/4 gal. Hope to keep the roots moving.
@Herbie101, growing two of the Bhadra now.
One short one tall, both female. Bonus!
Might have the same scenario with Squirrel Tail, 2 perfect but different, female plant structures… 5 may be 7
Real soon
@Lemonhazelover, Thanks Lhl. I’m jacked about the whole deal as well.
Just learning that its the middle-third of Flower, that equals Stretch, for these Heirlooms.
Something new!
@JamMAKEcan,
Thanks a bunch JMc… I am sticking with the Healthiest of each. Farming out the rest locally, male or female.
I’m still giddy seeing 9 blades on a 2.5 week old canopy leaf. Nothing but learning with this batch bro
hello mate, nice work!! very particulary strains, i notice the same strange growth in my S1 seed that i have in my room now, do you have experience with this type of seeds?
@GrowerOG,
That answer is very simple, spend a bit of time on Overgrow.com.
Multi-generation growers are securing and sharing hard to find Heirloom strains. There is So Much positive experience and knowledge being shared there. AND then after a few months, seed give aways are a daily thing. Top Shelf all the way Bro.
Send me a message, nothing but Positive things from there. And knowledge on beating white powdery mildew etc, never stops amazing me !
@1Right_Angle, I understand mate. I was curious because I saw some growth details of your plants in this diary in common with my ladie: like long branches and minor density of buds.
Where do you find these strains?
@1Right_Angle, In the photo where you write 'she appars to be making seeds', all the inside of the buds have a tipical colour and aspect of botrytis, i noticed it also in the other photos of that plant.
I hope to be wrong, anyway i think is worth not smoke the flower of that plant.
@GrowerOG, ok Thats a brand new one at this end GoG!
Thanks for the Heads-up, I’l be looking into it right now.
Can I ask what “You are Seeing?”
There are no moist pockets or goopy areas. The dry regions you see are from a dry period earlier this grow, that caused me to move the operation back home… Bud Rot I doubt, now that I’ve checked.
Its (squirrel tail) hanging, it will be hands-on shortly.
Plant being too wet or moist, never happened
