Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg.
I got in here this week and while I was watering I tested all the plants with the rub the stock and smell my fingers test.
If you rub the stock fairly hard, not hard enough to hurt the plant and smell your fingers you can get a good indication what the plant will smell and taste like.
Also if you put your fingers together you can feel how sticky or slippery they are and it's a good indication of how much the resin the plant will produce.
What I found was that there isn't a best one. They all tested similar in smell and resin.
So I can't just pick out the 4 best ones with that test.
So this is a test. I want to see how the seeds I made with the male I picked out, turned out.
Being a garbage man in my earlier life saves me money. I went out behind the shed where I store all the plant pots that I saved over the years while being a G man.
I picked out 10 good sized pots and washed them yesterday. I will go to the garden center store tomorrow and get some soil. I like to use SunShine Mix #4.
I picked out 10 short bamboo poles for support, that I'll put in the middle of the pot to tie the buds to.
I'll put them all in this tent until the main grow room is finished (about 2 more weeks) and then I'll put 6 plants in there to flower and leave 4 in this tent.
This is really a test to see how my plants will preform. So I want to see all of them preform.
Ok. Be Great.
Chuck.
Hi Buddy. I've been growing for about 29 years now and have been learning the whole time. I've tried my hand at making seed in the last few years. I didn't make any last year because I didn't find a male that I liked. Through this site, I've sent some seeds around the world to people who have asked. The Pink Kush holds a big place in my heart. I found it at a grow op bust about 29 years ago. It turned out to be a world class strain. I'm so glad I saved it. Chuck.
