New Grow - From Seed - Cataract Skunk and Short Bus

Hey everyone.

Been a long time lurker on the site. Just recently got my 21st century on and got the Internet and a brand spanking new I pad, so thought I'd start posting.

This is a new garden I'm just starting out. The seeds got handed to me at the medical cannabis cup in Denver this year. When questions arose of what to do for my next cycle, I figured why not.

The strains are Cataract Skunk and Short bus, from Mile High Seed Bank. Never heard of them so we shall see how they turn out.

I soaked all 10 of each strain overnight in water, then put them straight in dirt on 5/8/11. They have still yet to pop. I've got 19 of them in 2 gallon grow bags, and one in a 16 oz cup cuz one package was short one bag. For now they are in a 50/50 mix of FFOF and Light Warrior. Not sure if I'm going to stick with FF this time around though.....have kind of a bitter taste in my mouth w my current grow, which I will post pics up of soon. Think they got burned a bit early on...maybe due to the OF, maybe grower error. Nevertheless, back on track.

These are all under a sun blaze 48 right now in my closet w 2 osc. Fans. Temps hold just around 80.....a bit lower during night time. With it getting hot out I'm over caring about it. If they want to veg at 80' fine.

Plan on vegging for at least a month, and then possibly turn a few into mothers if I like them. Guess that's it for now..... Feel free to ask any questions and Id love some constructive criticism along the way.

They'll be flowering under 2 600 watt hps lamps. FYI - have no intentions of putting 20 plants under the 2 lights, but I don't even know how many of these are going to pop, plus males etc, etc. We shall see. But yeah, thanks for stopping by and stay tuned!

Alright, so that it's not just bags of dirt in here I'm gunna throw up some pics of my current grow. I have 3 NYCDs going and one Ultra Sonja. 2 of the NYCDs and the U.S. Are on day 46 of 12/12. The last NYCD went in a bit later and is on day 25. As mentioned above I feel like I kind of burned them a little early on. The 3 on day 46 only vegged for 2 weeks. Overall I think I'm kind of disappointed with bud size at this point. Let me know what you guys think!



This is the lady on day 25

Yo. We are off to a running start! 6 babies have broken soil this morning. Things are even so far - 3 C.S and 3 S.B. They all pretty much look like this right now. Enjoy your day! - PLP


Edit ::: And by tonight 15 of them have popped. 8 SB and 7 CS.

Good to hear your beans have life in them! I think the buds on your Diesel look great. How much longer are you going to let them go? What size is your tent? Also, how do you post pictures using the iPad? I have one too but haven't figured that part out.

Well, the NYCD is a 70 day strain, so I'm hoping somewhere around there. If they need another week though I'll let them have it. I'm in no rush, esp since the 3rd younger NYCD will still be goin for a few weeks anyways. As for the Ultra Sonja, I think she's gunna come down first. About 10-15% of her pistils are already turning brown. So I duno...maybe 60ish days for her? Just depends on the thrics. I fed her 2 days ago and am pretty sure it will be her last feeding, just h2o from here on out. Probably at least one more feeding for the NYCDs.

The tent is the secret jardin DR120. 4x4x7

And as for pics from the iPad, I got the image shack app - super easy to upload from the iPad, then just copy n paste the link on here and boomskiez - your set. Thanks for stoppin by!

Day 1

Thinking 15 is going to be the magic number. That's how many seedlings have popped and are reaching for the sky. Don't even see any of the other 5 trying to push through the soil. So, if 15/20 is my germ rate....that's only 75%. Eh. I'll leave them in for another day or two and see if they pop.

The babies look good. You are off to a good start! I would say 15 out of 20 is pretty good!

Little ones are truckin along nicely. 15 seedlings popped. Transplanted the one in the cup into a grow bag. Not much to report at this point. Will be giving them just plain ph adj. water as needed for at least another week or so. Then will start with the big bloom and go from there.bongsmilie

Day 49 (NYCDs #1&2, Ultra Sonja) and day 30 (NYCD #3, front right) in the flower tent. Used mollases when watered them tonight, am starting the U.S.'s flush next watering. NYCDs get at least one more feeding.

Thanks man. I am using a 600 watt hps. And I don't know - not really disappointed I guess...it definitely is going to be some fine chronic. I guess I was just hoping for my first HID grow I was gunna have those beer bottle sized nugs. Ha, and they're definitely not. On my last CFL grow I pulled just over 2 oz per plant, got a quarter pound + 8 grams dry off of two plants. Was hoping to exceed that with this grow but honestly am betting it will be right around there, only I have 4 plants instead of 2. But like I said, the buds are beautiful so I should probably just shut the fuck up and stop complaining. bongsmilie

looking good

and fragile lol
You mean like the seedlings look fragile? Well, hopefully that only lasts a few more days before they really take off...

Also - so I found the "website" for mile high seed bank. http://www.milehighseedbank.webs.com/ - it's pretty shitty. There's only one page with some basic info. Says the Cataract Skunk is LA x OG Kush X Lemon Skunk and that the Short Bus is UK Cheese x Recon x UK Cheese. Says their both 20% sativa 80% indica and both have an 8-9 week flowering time. Hm. Well see. Pretty disappointed in their website and lack of info though.

No no, nothing on you buddy!

I just open my tent to my 3ft tall plants 60 days into flower with rock hard branches... Then I see all your little itty bitty seedlings looking so fragile!


They won't get a SOLID stem until 2-3 weeks from seedling.. Then it will start getting a thick stalk. :)



As long as the genetics are good dude. Who cares? ;) Barneys farm has lots of information about my Tangerine Dream, none of it seems to be very accurate though :lol:

Days 51/32 in the flower tent - guess this is just gunna be a dual journal for both gardens untill I chop them down, don't really feel like I need to start it's own thread seeing as how they're close to being done. I looked at days again today, and am also figuring the NYCDs will go longer than 70, so re-planned and they will probably get two more feedings. We'll see.
