This is a very special strain that was created especially for me by Nate at The Bakery Genetics.
These genetics are:
Neytiri (Blue Dream x Purple Haze) X Skywalker OG (Skywalker x OG Kush)
This will be my first ever soil grow (eek). I will be growing indoors in a 2x4x8 Gorilla Grow Tent using using M3 Michigan Made Mix in Rain Science Grow Bags under California Lightworks 550 Solar System LED Lights.
5 regular seeds were soaked in water for 24 hours, and then placed in Rapid Rooters. Rapid Rooter plugs were placed in a seedling tray upon a heating pad and towel and put in darkness for 30 hours.
4/5 had sprouted in that time, pushing their little seed shells to the surface.
1/10/2020 - DAY 1 - 4/5 are thriving 48 hours later. Checked on the 5th seed and it never cracked so I'm moving forward with these 4 and hoping to get at least one female! ๐๐๐
I surrounded the seedlings with clay pellets to block out light.
Day 2 - Seedlings were transplanted into 16oz solo cups filled with M3 Michigan Made Mix. I cut slits in the bottom of the cup for drainage and have each one resting in a 12oz cup underneath to collect run off.
I watered them very slowly until I had some drops of run off.
I hate not being able to see their roots. ๐ญ #hydrogrowerproblems
Current Light Settings - R39 W49 B99
Day 5 - Gave them some 6.5 pH water slowly until I had some runoff drops. These plants are looking fat and happy!!! ๐
Day 7 - Had my first learning experience, as I found some roots coming out of the bottom of my solo cup. I wasn't sure what to do or why it happened so I did some internetting and realized that my roots were seeking the moisture at the bottom of their runoff collecting cup. I had neglected to empty the runoff from one of the solo cups (not much at all mind you) and it was enough to attract the roots. I removed the cups from all 4 and will let the air-pruning commence! - air-pruning being another thing I learned about today!
I'm really enjoying getting to experience the "new grower" feeling all over again. It's pretty cool. ๐
Slowly increasing Red and White light on my LEDs to gradually move seedlings into full Veg settings. ๐
@CRiSPrGrow, Thank you!!! I was really happy with the artist who took my awkward as hell concept sketch and made it look like this! I got slaps, I would totally send one your way ๐.
@CRiSPrGrow, I think it is some luck. I grow by the seat of my pants. All I do is ph balance ferts. and water. No soil or runoff tests. I only use base ferts. and cal-Mag. I see diaries using 8-10 different chemicals. For me itโs keep it simple stupid. I could never figure out problems if I had all those variables. Thank for the compliment.
Nice. I donโt have anyone developing new strains specially for me. If they did It would be call Lucky shit dumb grower OG. Lol good luck. Iโve seen your grow. I think luck has very little to do with your grows.
I like your defoliation technique I am going to be more aggressive on my next grow to avoid all that lower larf. as always your highness your diaries are informative and well documented.
Cheers
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, I use my sous vide to infuse mine! I follow the instructions over on sousweed.com. I've done butter before but prefer coconut oil! โ๏ธ
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, Thanks, growmie! Yeah I used to not care about keeping the extra popcorn bud because I make oil. But at this point, I have more than enough popcorn stash for oil.... So while I have so far always grown from the standpoint of "waste not" when growing my plants, it's time to try something different. This time I'm only targeting the quality bud for smoking enjoyment ๐๐จ
off to the races๐
I am using the california lightworks 500 solar extreme,
not adjustable like yours,but I love the full spectrum it
gives right out of the box๐๐ plants seem to love it๐ช
Grow Big๐
@northernMike, Nice! I grew with mine for two full very satisfying runs before I emptied my wallet some more for the spectrum control. Jury's still out as to whether or not I really notice an improvement, but this will be my first time using it in an environment that isn't giving me issues so this will be its time to shine! (dorky pun absolutely intended)
Nice job, plants look really happy๐
I picked up another CLW xtreme 500, plants love the extra light, zero dark corners.๐
Now I'm battling the heat, trying to keep the temp at 22c in the day, nighttime 17-18c.
Luck and Grow Big!!
Looking healthy, I think your spot on with your sexing 2F and 2M the males will usually get taller faster as well so they can dump there pollen on the shorter females. you still have time before the males swell with pollen but the small spade is a good indicator that they are dudes. Sexing can take up to 6 weeks between 4-6 they should start showing signs then you can send the males to the Sarlacc pit. good video.
Lady looking great! Happy and healthy lady (hopefully). Always wanted to cross my own strain. Looks like you did quite well. Nice work. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck moving forward growmie.
P.s you got these fire genetics for sale somewhere? What about that sticker? I need that one on my stoner sticker collage
