Growfriends,
Seedlings are doing ok. Their growth rate has picked up and they are becoming established in their new medium.
I may put them under a bigger light this coming week. I'll dim it to 10%-20%
I am very weary of mites as mite infected plants are in the area. I am not assuming I have killed them all. I have started preventively spraying with Smite. Thanks for the rec., T. I might add Neme cake to topsoil also. Another good rec., from H. I want to move past this defense stage of gardening and get back to having fun with growing.
RE microclones. Looks like I'll be able to transplant a blood diamond and a chernobyl microclone. Let's see how that goes. Not having much success with the other strains. Both Mac clones have passed.:-(( I have 1 more shot left before I am out of material) Next phase. Buying a pressure cooker today. This is to sterilize equipment and test tubes and prepare the sterile agar rooting gel. This will improve my microclone odds of success. Washing and spraying tubes with alcohol may not be enough . I try to keep things simple and but here I am buying more shit to clutter my already cluttered space. It never ends.
The trials and tribulations of an urban grower.
The Durban Thai Cindy is this morning flavor. I am enjoying the synergy. lol It's a wonderful stone. So much so, I can easily imagine it being a good fit with the beach on a perfect day. Its that kind of bliss.
Cheers all.
What are your thoughts on the tissue culture? Is that your preferred method or do you continue to clone your plants as well? I found you because I just got some Capulator Mac n Cheese regular seeds in. I am debating if i should plant half of them and store the rest or if i should put half the seeds into tissue culture (or whatever it is called when starting seeds off). Do you do the tissue culture yourself or do you send them off to get done?
I started following this grow so I can see your progress. I will let you know when i plant mine so you can follow if you want.
DD, you can see the original Cap's cut clone on my previous grow. She is distinctive to look at. The leaf color mid rib reminds me of silver beets and the smell is out of left field beautiful.
I am hopeful some of these original terpenes will pop up in our hybrids.
DD, TreeStars carry good breeders but never heard of them before now. Thanks for the tip. TreeStars carry more seeds by Capulator than anywhere else from what I can tell. I bought mine at Neptune seed bank.
They were generous to me. and gifted a Rebel Grown special selection called 5G which is a sour Diesel, chem dog, OG, C99 cross. Hats off to them.
Rebel Grown's Lemon Sugar Kush I love. I have a few seeds sitting in water as we speak along with seeds of Banana Mac and Cherry Cookies/Mimosa cross. Looking forward to following your Mac and Cheese grow. Cheers.
@Mr_Positivo, I have never tried any of the mac strains, in fact I have never seen a plant or the bud in person. I have been getting my seeds from TreeStars for the last few years, I like dealing with them. The banana mac and mac n cheese look like the best ones of the latest drop. Based off grow pictures from Instagram anyway. When do you plan on popping some of those seeds?
That canopy is all environmentally friendly being you managed to squeeze a top cola in every space evenly. Hand down masterful gardening for sure. Makes sense your a master, results show clearly. Enjoyable diary for sure. Thanks for sharing.
@@@VermontMicrogroweryJamezBeam, ha ha. Admit it, we'll all a bit obsessed with growing on this website. lol. Good bud is our passion, JB. It motivates us to pay attention to the details that make a difference. Thanks for stopping by. Good to be in contact with skilled grower. Best wishes with your run. I'll be following along.
