Okay, this is a pure boom or bust, gamble diary, that I am just going to have some fun with. Now that I’ve got my things together (for the most part), I can do some extra curricular with the extra grow space, but also better managed grow space. I decided to do some of the female selection that I’ve mentioned on this site before. Lucky 13, so far so good with this distributor, only sells regular seeds. So, not for the faint of heart. My friend made a purchase some time ago that included a “White Widow Mix” pack, 13 regular seeds randomly drawn from the Widow mixes available through Lucky 13. So this is like BlackJack or some high stakes card game, racing for pink slips, we want a female AND we aren’t quite sure what strain it will be. We can ensure a female bud will have the Widow musk.
The seeds could be any one of the following...
Silver Widow - (White Widow ’94 x Afghan Kush) Back-Crossed to White Widow (2013)
White Russian - White Widow x AK-47
White Wolf - White Widow x Chemdog ’01 x Romulan
There may be more I missed as there are many strains to sift through on their site.
My friend had repaired and dropped off my secondary veg. LED and left the whole seed pack for me to pick two, so I planted four. Best case all four are female. He has popped two of this pack and they were both male, I like my odds. My veg. lighting is two 300 actual watt full spectrum LEDs. My tent is hung mylar in an unfinished basement.
*Starting the diary on Sunday July 26 as I germinate straight into soil. The mix is 3 parts HP Pro Mix: 1 part worm castings. We shall see what next Sunday brings which I will consider week one as well. Did I pick the correct four??!

This is day five for the oldest. Not a great start, one popped and looks great, one popped and I had to perform shell casing surgery and is mutated or stunted, one appears to have failed exiting the soil, and one I see nothing at all. Cripes! Lucky 13 not a good showing here, Unlucky 13. Please at least let the one be female!!
