The Acid Queens

3/24 The Acid Queens - The Girls of The Who if things work out. This is our last grow of the cycle. Going to cease for two months July and August, as these should finish in June God willing, so we may concentrate on the food grows this summer. The tomatoes and beans will take over the germ tent and my 3x3 veg tent Moya. Been a long 14 months of constant growing with 12 of them documented here. Hell of a ride, I am tired and there is a lot going on. If we survive I will pick it back up with a Fast Buds CBD grow, both strains, in September. So lets grow some pot 😎 Four LSD-25 seeds into the water. Woodstock will keep them safe and shielded for 24 hours Then into the rock-wool if we got tails New germ tent light is working great can really do just about any job I wish by swapping bulbs. Heavy on the blue light for this job but some red. 3/25 All four seeds on the paper towel and covered. Rock-wool soaking in 6.0 PH distilled water with a very light dose of Kangaroots as only additive. It will soak until we see some tails. Not real happy with the seeds appearance, one is smaller than any Ive seen so far and another is having problems taking in water. See what happens, I have spares. 3/26 Two have tails, as expected, but the two problem children mentioned previously do not, No rush plenty of time. The two with tails likely going into rock-wool tonight or in the morning. Give the other two more time 3/27 All four have tails 3 being @1/2 inch so into split rock-wool they go, lights on, temp and humidity controlled... up to them. One remains on the towel for now tail being only 1/8 inch long. This is the one that didnt take up water right off. Just an observation; Just having grown the photos it struck me how different the auto seeds germinate. The photos just seem to leap out at the world racing to go while autos are much more subdued with tails taking longer to show and slower to extend. After they come up it's all the same its just during this germ phase the difference is really apparent. All planted now. 3/29 **** Day One of the grow. Meet Athena , Baba , Mary, and Sally - Girls of the music of the Who, the Acid Queens. Their garden bags full of coco await some growth, day or so to being potted. Still getting just a slight pass of Kangaroots and PH water. Soon as they are in the cups the feeding schedule listed will kick in. OK going to try prolonging veg by using the bloom nuets from the beginning when they are potted for 10 days, transitioning to completely to grow in over the following 10 days from there. Per usual when flowering begins the switch back to Bloom will be done. PK will be used three times, at first appearance of hairs, at the cotton ball stage, and then lastly at that final push in late flower. Wish us well this is new and not the usual fare. 3/30 Issue Holding off introducing nuets have an issue or two that I want to work out first. First off Sally is just weird as hell, may be twining may be just deformed. Going to need a new seed here I think. This is the one that didnt want to take up water at first. The others could look better as well as putting them on carefully PHed water and some H2O2 (10 drops 30% into one cup) only until I get Sally's replacement lined up. Rather not have too big a gap between them. New pack of seeds , not marked 5+5 so feel better about it. Up and at em again Woodstock 3/31 Gotta love H2O2 during germ and early seedling. They up and ready for duty. Fifth seed soaked and placed into rock-wool going to skip the paper towel things getting a bit more crowded than I like in there. Dang may have to come up with another name... maybe "Oriley " I dunno, damn I am bored. Hoping for some sunshine Saturday. 4/1 All four original plants in garden bags now, no sign of the replacement yet, be a couple of days at least. Feed as listed twice daily for now. 4/2 Since the photos are being harvested tomorrow I am changing the light schedule of the germ tent to be off during the heat of the day (HA!). Later on as the temps rise this will be a big help keeping them cool but not too cool during lights out. The germ tent is connected to the flowering tent and I wanted lights out to coincide as much as it could to the photos which were on a natural cycle. Autos could care less about stray light leaks you dont know anything about 😩 4/4 Ok not a good report The replacement plant for Sally came up really odd, the sac that covers the embryo was hard almost woody, attempts to soften and remove did not work and the root died. Not a happy man right now. Taking the others off the Bloom, they do not seem to like it except for Baba so going to Grow, same PPM Keeping the root goodies for now at light dose Deciding what to do with that forth plant, pop another or just hope Sally makes it. Will prob pop another in about an hour going to think in it first. See guys aint nothing you can do about stuff like this, we depend on our seeds and perhaps its time to see to making our own as a safety measure should things get worse. Really didnt want to do that but dire times ahead it seems. 4/5 We are going with what we have. I am sick with a stomach virus, wife caring for plants will update diary when I may.
