Great White Shark Lemon Skunk and Thai Haze x Skunk

**geronamo** · 08-29-2008, 01:42 AM

Monday 25.8.08 - I had ordered 5x Great White Shark and 5x Lemon Skunk feminized from greenhouse seeds ( I used dope-seeds.com - real good service). Anyway we got 10 Thai haze x Skunk with our order so I figured we would grow those aswell. We put all 20 seeds between damp paper towels, in a zip lock bag to germinate. Left it in the hot water cupboard.

Wednesday 27.8.08 - We have got 100% germination rate of the Lemon Skunk and Great White shark. Quite a few of the Thai Haze have germed, a couple just slow, a couple look fucked. Anyway, of the seeds that were ready to be planted we put them in jiffy pots, and put that in a propagation unit. We had soaked the jiffy pots with water and added some Black Magic seedling fertilizer (4-14-10). In hind site I probably wouldny have given the seedlings any nutes but they seemed to like it so no harm done.

Thursday 28.8.08 - We have a few sprouts, still waiting on a few but so far so good.

Friday 29.8.08 - Nearly all have sprouted, what havent sprouted I can see poking up through the soil.

Im going to try keep this as up to date as possible. So if anyone has any advice or constructive criticism... Im all ears.

Tuesday 02.09.08 - Update: The seedlings are growing really well. We ended with an 18/20 germination/sprout rate. 2 of the Thai Haze never germed, but they were free so Im not to worried. The main thing is that all 10 of our femmed seeds germed. They are all around 8cm ( Just over 3 inches), Im only feeding them water and 24/7 under a cool white fluro light. They seem to be really loving it. Will upload some pics later on tonight.

I have 2 x 400watt hps lights. I plan on using them for both veg and flower. Is that suitable? Any advice is great.

I used www.dope-seeds.com, nah I live in NZ, but I reckon you would be sweet. Maybe email the guy at dope seeds and ask them to hide the seeds in something. Mine came in the breeders backs, not even hidden at all and they got to me in like a week.

Ha ha thats wat I like to hear. Im not gonna ask " how much will I yield" cos there are so many variables, but I have put a lot of time, effort and money into my setup so Im sure it will pay off. Just a quick Q, I posted this elsewhere but u might be able to help me out. If I started all 18 plants indoors then when they started really growing, removed the thai haze (they were frebies, and arent femmed). Put them outdoors, finished my lemon skunk and Great white, then brought the thai haze back indoors and finished them off, would there be a problem with that? Thanks for your input, its nice to get a vote of confidence every now and then.

I took these photos when I got home from work. One of the seedlings on the outer edge had basically fallen right over trying to get its fair share of the light. I put it in the middle and straightened it up and it was sweet as. Does any one know how big I should let them get before I put them under my 400s?

Your seedlings are WAY to stretched out. Bet them out of that dome and get those flouros within 2-3 inches from the tops. That should stop them from stretching.

As for when they can hit the HPS. Give them another week; weekl and a half, let them grow 2 more sets of leaves first. When you do put them under the HPS make sure its 2-3 feet above the tops at first, then slowly lower if over a course of 2 weeks to about 12-18 inches depending on how hot your lamp is. Its something you'll have to play with to see how much your plants can handle.
