--tech209'z 400w hps 8sq'z closet SOG hindu kush log--

ok here we go time to get back into the scene my seeds just came from dr.chronic which i would like to point out thnx doc for all the great service.... ordered hindu kush from nirvana which came fast as hell about 5 days to the states...opened package up whala hindu kush.... only germin 4 seeds since i will be needing only one mother plant so i can clone her and create about 6 dwc 5 gal buckets under a 400w hps in my closet .... ill keep you guys posted on how many survied the germ process oh by the way im using the paper towel method ......

wohoooooo
well done dude

why just one mom? i think having more options is way beeter
Eeg, having 3 moms do more clones than planned and only keep THE BEST ONES

looks good so far man. ill be keeping my eye on this journal.(ill be starting a grow similar to this here soon) are you going to be showing pics of when you plant the sprout in whatever medium your using? that would be awesome. have you built your dwc buckets yet? post pics man you know RIU members love those pics!!!!

sup guys ...thnx for the interest in my grow log.....as for the mother plant my plans we orignally to build my grow box that will divide both veggin and flowring rooms but really with work,x-mas shoppin dont really got the time so i decided to go back into my closet for the grow so i am limited to space.....and yes i will post pics as soon as it hits the soil...ill be puttin them back into the soil then when old enough i will clone her then transfer into dwc buckets where the fun begins.....i got the buckets and the pumps already but still need to place the order on the netpots and growin medium and extra nutes other than that ready to go ...oh yea need to pick up the light other than till ill keep you guys posted ........

UPDATE**********

well the seeds are taking wayyyyyyyyy longer then usual to expose its tap root about one seeds seems to show as if the tap root wants to come out.....i have them in a tupperware (plastic) with the paper towel rolled and folded inside then i wraped the container in a towel and put the container in a couple plastic bags .....my house gets waaaayyy to cold and their isnt alot of warm spots so imma put it outside in the sun for a bit so it can get heated up a bit but no needs to worry they are kept dark inside the container .......

all i did to my seeds for germinating was i wrapped them in a wet paper towel. placed the wet napkin in a plastic baggy and left it on my computer tower. they really liked it there! lol. keep us updated.

ok now all the seeds have cracked open and just finished up clearin out the closet...im going with 2-23w cfl per plant ......


First Break...



Set up....ran out of plastic



Hindu Kush Seedling about 3 days old





now this one is the one im keeping my eye on...i found this one growing in my old pot from my last grow which was white widow..just quickly plucked it out and threw it in my container well see hoe that will turn out

day 4

Heres the one that im pulling for the white widow



hindu kush day 4

[

another hindu kush



nothing yet still in hope




should i keep em on 24/7 or should i switch them to 18/7????.......

seems to be differing opinions on the lighting-some like 24/0 some like 18/6....id say keep the cfl's on them 24 hrs a day.

kinda figure thanx for the tip....

would likle to hear other opionions on if i should leave my lights on 24/0 or 18/6 while they are this small?

i leave my mh on 24 for and i see growth every day

day 5

well was debaten either switchn them to 18/6 or 24/0 for a little longer as you can see 24/0 makes a difference in just one day and now all my babies are coming together...

heres she is still tryin to make it...white widow havent really seen any progress with this one my guess would be plant was shocked when i transplanted



hindu kush at 5 days old


ahhhhh finally breakage




another hindu kush at 5 days old



ill keep you guys posted on my next update.......

OK the same as yesturday just that every one but the white widow shown improvement..... just ordered couple items for the hydro stage kinda nervous in fucken sumthing up but fuck it im not lettin it faze me....well time to smoke a bowl of white widow and pound my 40 (211) outskiez...................

hey tech, that kush is gunna be a stinky lil' bitch! Ive gotta a few different strains going now, none of them are very big, but you can easily point out that kush with your eyes closed!! good luck man!! btw- Ive kept mine under 24/7 till yesterday which was about three weeks old from seed and I just switched over to 18/6. Ive heard you could go either way but if no other reason I'll save a couple bucks on the hydro!

sup econo......

thanx for stopn by.... i might just go ahead and switch em to 18/6 as of today since they are about 2 inches and also need all the dough for my buckets and hps light ...gonna stop at walmart today and pic my self up a bag of supersoil for the mothers ...really tight as fuck on cash since x-mas really put a hole in my wallet but fuck it only comes once a year right...well time to play the waiting game like always at least i got my steel reserve to get me tipsy......blaze it

my materials that i picked up at walmart and my project k20 rex...


and when all said and done here they are......



till next update merry x-mas every1 .......BLAZE IT

instead of using 6-8 serprate 5 gallon bucket im thinkin bout going with this one 50 gallon tote.....what u guys think good buy????

I personally like seperate buckets Tech, but thats just me. There's no drainage in those big things, the roots can get pretty tangled, I like to move my plants around depending on the way they are growing, if one gets sick/infected its going to be tougher to stop it from spredding. Plus you're gunna have to put way more soil in that bucket than you would a few smaller buckets.
So In my opinion, thumbs down.
Good luck either way.
