THE GROW DETAILS
Seeds:
Two Feminized White Berry from Paradise

Quote:

Paradise Feminized Seeds White Berry
• Type: Indica/ Sativa (75/25)
• Flowering time: 50 days indoors. Outdoors, early October (n.L.)
• Yield: 400 - 450 grams per m2 indoors. Outdoors 400-500 grams per plant.
• Environment: Indoors. Outdoors between 50º n.L. and 50º s.L.
• Effect /Buzz: Happy, lucid
• Smell/Taste: Berry
• THC: 15-18%
White Berry is very fast to flower and particularly well suited to sea of green grows. This is model marijuana, slender and medium in height, with fresh green good looks and a single-cola dominance and homogeneity between the plants. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is good news for weed manicurists, because she is easy to trim.
White Berry becomes bejeweled with trichomes that frost her buds, and she generates a decidedly berry perfume. White Berry’s hybridized genetics create a complex and versatile smoke. The typical result is a crystalline Sativa head high. But when smoked in higher quantities, an Indica-style body stone comes forward.
Tokers who smoke lightly throughout the day, but want a deeper stone at night, may find that White Berry meets all their needs in one attractive, easy-growing package.

its that brother intuition or some shit...

is there any reason you do your rapidrooters like that???

i use mine with the hole already.

im really thinking about cutting open my rapid rooters and germination the old school way.

its no way in hell these beans shouldnt have pop already

i know they give shitty freebies out....but none of my freebies germed.... well not yet anyway!

yes - so they stand up better. and i like to make my own hole - not too deep so i just use a little piece of the rooter to plug it up (that way i can peak in).

But since i only plant germinated seeds - it usually doesn't matter.

Did you see how i labeled my grow closet!
