Strain: Moby Dick — The Great Whale of Buds

I was gonna start a grow Jan 3 anyway, I’m in. Should be a good one, I don’t have to flower after only 25 days now on a short time window with my grad school break.
Strain:

-Nature’s Living Organic Super Soil (1lb per 5 gallon pot). Subcool’s mix with a few tweaks.

-Zip ties (to tame the girls)

The girls have been dropped into Five, 1 L air pots to start. Cling film traps humidity, and the CFL provides some warmth. My grow room is sealed off and has a thermostat set to 70F just in case. In addition, the tent traps the heat from the lights and the humidity will stay up thanks to a humidifier and inkbird controller. At this stage, the more humid, the better.

Def following this one.

Love those timber lights and looked real hard at the moby dick before making my last purchase. will be nice to see it grown out.

Best of luck

DAY 2, exactly 24 hours after cracking open, and I pulled the plastic wrap off. All 5 Moby Dick seedlings are healthy, except for this guy!

Fully purple first leaf set, yet a green stem and green coty leaves. Never seen this before, where with fungus normally the stem would be drooping, streteching & unhealthy, this stem is green, sturdy and not stretching in the slightest. I can only think I left the plastic on, And deprived them of light and or fresh air? Too much moisture after cracking? I think I left the wrapping on 24 hours after cracking, I checked pretty often during the 48 hour time in the pots to the time I discovered it purple. Hopefully tomorrow some drying out and air flow will help the situation, keeping a sharp eye and I’ll toss one before I let all 5 get ruined.

A bit slow to start as always, but all 5 in the moby squad are now healthy. Purple gal has been relieved of her strange color. Ready to grow!

Wow day 9-10, roots have already hit the bottom of the pot. Definitely gonna have to start the transplant very soon, what a joy Moby Dick is already.

Nice

They gonna just explode in growth here soon

Added a little recharge to the soil with water today, gonna do that once a week until flower then switch to mammoth P

Dinafem’s Moby D plants are off to the races except for one. I’m calling her Mobius One. Well today with a heavy heart I pulled Mobius One and flushed her, hence the name. Just felt right. She’s being replaced by a Holy Grail Kush from DNA genetics since I am fresh out of moby seeds, soaking commenced around 8 hours ago. Holy Grail Kush matchs a similar growth profile in terms of its height and flower time of 9-10 week so all should be well. We’ll put her in the middle position to distinguish.

Moby dick is off to a great start. Holy grail kush is coming to life about 13 days behind. The long veg period should make up for any small difference at the start here. I plan to let her stretch a little at the start to make sure she is tall enough just in case.
