Old school favourites

[woodydude]

For my first foray into buying seeds (bagseed, clones & freebies until now), I decided not to go with something wacky wonderful or exotic and to go with some old school favourites.
I bought 10 Northern Lights and 10 Bubblegum. Mainly because I have smokes both in Amsterdam and really enjoyed both the taste and the buzz, the upbeat smiley high from the BG is one of my all time favourites.

They arrived Monday (They would have been here Friday but I missed the postman) which was just 2 days after ordering. Next time I will order on a Mon or Tue!

Today all 8 seeds have a nice healthy taproot showing

So I have put half into Root Riot starter cubes (they are for a friend who grows soil), the other half have gone into 1" rockwool cubes and are now sitting under my 4bank 4' T5's.

Looking good so far.
I will try to update weekly or when anything significant happens.

let me in here before it gets too crowded

 

[woodydude]

You are all making me nervous now, its like finishing a drink in the pub (bar) and declairing, "I'm on a promise(my partner has promised me sex!), see you all tomorrow" then leaving, once you get home, sitting nice and quiet on some newly arrived chairs are the guys you just left waiting to watch "the show" and wondering if the old man will stand up for a performance!

Seriously, thanks for the interest guys.
Peace
Woody

Farm? Not sure what you mean vdog

I think he might be asking what seed farm you got your seeds from, what breeding house or seed distributor.

 

[vdog]

yeah that^^^^

 

[woodydude]

Threw me completely there vdog!
hxxp://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/sitemap.html. is where the seeds came from, very fast though time will tell on the quality.

All 4 that I planted in root riot are sprouting a taproot our the bottom of the cube, 2NL have a shoot showing on the green side as of today. Hoping for some more green tomorrow from the rest.
Peace

hey woody mind if i pull up a chair to hehe witch breeder is the bublegum from ?

 

[woodydude]

Course not fruity, anyone is welcome here, as long as we pass to the left and respect rollers rights thats fine by me.
I am not certain of the breeder of the seeds, I only know who I paid for them.
marijuana-seeds.nl is where I bought them but they are probably just a distributer. I know a couple of people who have used them before and germ rates are very good, mine is 8/8 and as of today, 6 are now seedlings, the rapid rooter things are 4/4 and are much quicker than the rockwool. Roots are poking through the bottom of all 4 root riot cubes but none yet in the rockwool.
I will post some pics tomorrow as I am waiting for all 8 to break ground and show me some leaves (ever the optimist).
Peace

Ok, so heres the story 1 week after the seeds were placed into rockwool and root riot cubes.
The seedsd placed in rockwool did nothing, one sprouted and grew to an inch, where it stayed, no root development at all, quite poor really.
The seeds in the root riot cubes however it is a different story.



You can see here they are all showing good root growth and are ready to place into 4" rockwool cubes for the hydro system. I will be hand watering them for the time being as I do not want to feed them nutrients just yet, maybe another week or two as I want them to carry on developing a nice fat mass of roots.



Here they are int heir new homes, 4" rockwool cubes with a piece of black plastic tucked into the top to stop algie growth. They were watered into their new homes with ph'd water with a couple of drops of superthrive, just to help with transplant shock.

I will update again next time anything happens.

Northern Lights is a stellar grower, depending on the breeder of course. The Bubblegum can be iffy depending on the breeder again. I've grown a couple of different breeders versions of Bubblegum, and wasn't impressed with either. I found them both to be very weak buzzes, good for day when you need your sense about you.

everyone loves the classics :aok:
