Greetings From The FarEast-
as far as im concerned im like the only marijuana cultivator in my area.
marijuana is dead here. anyways welcome to my thread.

The seeds have arrived...10 pack of Hashberry from Mandala Seeds.


...and here they are in close-up...


They're have been soaking in a glass of water for 24 hours, prior to being laid out in a damp kitchen towel for germination.

heres an outlook on the grow operation design :)
just 1m² x 1.2m high, double walled with polystyrene insulation. It's lit with a single 400W HPS (although the ballast will also do MH) and ventilated by a 150mm (6") RVK fan, running via a speed controller and drawing in fresh air through five passive intakes. I just repacked the filter with fresh charcoal the other night (which wasn't as a messy a job as I'd expected).

The mini tower fans are a recent addition; the previous, "standard" oscillating fan was too strong for such a small space and wind-burnt a few leaves, even on it's lowest setting. I managed to drop one of the new ones (D'oh
) and it's a bit noisier as a result, but I made some "stands" from a double layer of bubble wrap, sandwiched between leftover insulation, which then stand on another piece of bubble wrap. I had all the fans running at full tilt last night and the noise was minimal, although the whole 'drobe already sits on three strips of polystyrene (just visible in the left hand picture), to cut down on vibrations travelling through the joists and disturbing the neighbours.

enjoy

I had a little peek today and all bar two of the seeds looked as though they had popped, with the one that popped while soaking showing a nice little ¼" / 5mm root


But just look at what happened in the six hours after that...



100% germination and lively root growth

I may just have to do some potting today

there extremely brutal here when it comes to drugs.
thats why everyone is afraid to do it.
but i take the gamble and play it safe.
life is like chess. think before you move and dodge the outcomes.
charged for possession of marijuana or marijuana in you're system:
2 month madatory jail time
5,000,0000 won fine , roughly about a 5,000 u.s. dollars fine
2 years minimum probation sentece//500hours community service

As Far as Cultivating. i know a guy who got busted and is still in high security prison and wont be out for a long long time.
doesnt matter how many plants u cultivate here in korea
1 is just as bad as 20.
so its the same sentence.
6 month mandatory jail time.
EXTREMELY high bail fee.
20,000,0000 won criminal fine, roughly 20,000 us. dollars
5 years probation.
and be labeled a criminal for the rest of you're life.

like i said it's brutal here, and there afraid to screw up there lives so they fear to grow or smoke it.

thanks for all you're interest
cheers

got a little delayed with the updates
apologies.
Cheers,

Grow Day: 8
Veg Day: 2

I'm very happy at the speed with which the roots have grown. I didn't get any pics before I potted them up, but the first to pop had a root which was a good ½" and the shortest was just over ¼" in length.

In the absence of a proper propagator...



I've set the lamp 12" above the top of the pots. It has a heat spreader fitted, so nothing should get burnt.



I'm using blocks of Oasis standing in water to try to keep the humidity up (always a problem for me in vegging) and have poured water into the tray as well.

It's a bit warm up there right now (29°C) and a bit dry (36% RH), but the glasses should help keep things moist.



cheers

Man, those are coming up fast! You inspired me to start all my other Mandala Sadhu seeds. I started the germination process today. Maybe I will start a journal as well.
