Well the time has come. It is time for another grow. I sourced some seeds from SensiSeeds. Amazing purchase and delivery, flawless and quick. Placed 6 seeds in paper towel on Suday afternoon. All six popped their cherries and into the starter cubes they go. I have so work to do to get the rest of things prepared, like firing up the Bloombox after almost a year of inoperation.

But I am so totlally pumped and excited about this grow. My last one was an awesome success. I'm still savouring the last from that harvest. Such is the desire for some new herb.

Enjoy and Walk on with me folks. I look forward to sharing.

so how they comming along?

Hey there. thanks for checking in. Well in my exuburance of trying to not water the babies too much I totally over did that and they all dried up. So, back to square one. No worries. If that's the worst that goes wrong, I'll be happy. I'll take some more seeds and give it a second shot here, and be a little more generous with the moisture. Humidity only 33% today. Thanks again for looking in. I'll be back. Walking on.

sorry to hear about that. well you learned a lesson. good luck ill be looking for your second try.

well, another six seeds into their chamber of papertowel and moisture. I decided that I would take three Top44 from seeds that produced my last batch (which is still amazing one year later!!) and three Black Domina. We're finally getting some decent weather and warmer temperatures. At least I might not have to warm up my garage where the Bloombox resides. I have a feeling I left getting new crop under way a little late. It's entirely possible that I will run out before the new crop is due. That would not be a pleasant sight!! LOL! I still have a pound of incredible cannabutter, thanks to fdd's guidance. I have been saving the primo buds from that first crop so they are still waiting for me. Every once in a while I sample a little. What an incredible success for a first time. I really was unbelievably lucky.

OT (off-topic) - I had an opportunity to travel to the mecca of bud (Mendocino county) and was fortunate enough to be offered some "trainwreck" - apparently authentic....I had read so much about it, listened to people swoon over it. I was unimpressed. It was a total body paralysis - like my head sitting on top of .... well something almost indescribable. Not my kinda stone at all. My top44 is slightly energizing and uplifting, a lifting euphoria. I guess maybe it suits me being active and busy and engaged. But I suppose that's what I'm really looking forward to. I'm always so jealous of fdd and his flavour of the week. So many different strains and opportunities.

Anyhow, sorta rambling but for now, we'll wait for the seeds to pop and get them into a suitable or say superior growing environment, and see what I can do this time around. Thanks for dropping by, I look forward to a fruitful few months here and some fun along the way. Cheers! Walk on!

well, 3 days gone by since putting the seeds into moist papertowel, in a sealed container, in the dark. All six seeds have been placed into soil. The three BD popped in just one day (Sat. - Sun). The other three, Top44 took an extra couple of days (Sat. - Tues.). All six had sprouted very healthy. I will get them started and transfer them to the BloomBox once they are well on their way. I will post some pics of the sprouts when there is something to see. Thanks again for checking in. Walk On!

hey there. time for a freakin update huh?! The seedling, all six....yipppeeee....are doing well. I need to get them into the BB and under my 200W CFL for 18-6. Or at least that is my plan. I'll post some pics once I have things organized. But just wanted to let all know that we're six for six right now, and looking good! Thanks for checking in...cheers!

well, here we are. T=0. BlackDomina(SensiSeeds) and Top44(WeedFarmer) popped and into 2 gal. pots under a 200W CFL. I raised them to this point in direct sunlight on a window sill. Got stretch but buried thne such that they are all sorta 1 1/2 - 2" exposed from the level soil. Soil is standard over the counter potting soil, smells great, light and fluffy. lights scheduled for 18-6. no nutes for the first bit. only water for now. Let's see how this goes. I'll take some better pics when there is something to see. Thanks for looking in.

hey there. cool. BB x BD/K. prolly nuthin wrong with that cross, but I'm not well versed in that side of this hobby. I have a problem this morning with the lights out and no obvious reason why. fues and breakers all seem ok. power to the unit is fine. it just shut itself off. I've got a call into the tech support, so hopefully I can turn the energy back on to those girls! cheers! and thanks for dropping by.
