Theowl's nest

So i have finally got myself to a point where I need to keep track of things better. Aaanndd, I now have a computer to use, so I am able to post pics finally. (not this post unfortunately, the wifey stole the computer)

I'm running a 250w HPS with a 300w equiv. Cfl@68? Actual watts for supplemental lighting. My cab this year is a new one, and I have mixed feelings on it. I like my lighting configuration, but it's wider than tall, and I stupidly put the door on the side, so I have to crawl in one side to get things on the other. PITA!! I can't remember the exact dimensions now, but I'll post that when I get home.

I'm a soil grower, for those that don't know. I make my own mix of soils, amended just the way I like it. Don't have much made up as of now but I've got a few beans that'll be needing some soon, so I may give my recipe a post. I like organics, and that's how I try and do things--it's in my blood.

And now to the beans- in my cab right now, I have two NYCD that have been up for about four or five days-gotta check my notes to be sure.
And a random bagseed that I saved from a bag of schwag that was actually pretty good. Same time up in the air.
Germing now are four more NYCD and six Silver Haze Fems.
The Nycd are regs and gifted to me Thanks again!! I am doing this first round of them in hopes of a good male to pollenate and seed some for future grow outs. Also hoping to cross the Nycd with the silver haze and grow those out this year. Unless something else presents itself, that's pretty much my seed stock and what I can do right now.

Oh yeah, I have also decided that this-my indoor- will be constant 12/12 with harvests at a so far undetermined predetermined schedule.
This thread will chronicle my outdoor grow as well when it gets up and going.

I'll post pics of the babies when I get home this evening.

Welcome all to theowl's nest.

Totally forgot to mention the NL lady I have in second week of flower, she's had so many issues I almost didn't think this plant was going to live. She looks bad, so when you see the pics tonight, I already warned you.

Got home from work and one of the silver haze beans has split already I put them in the paper towel yesterday about four in the afternoon. That's great, but now I've got to get some things together sooner than I thought. But hey, no worries here.

I took more pics of the sprouts to show how early I start training my ladies. On the one I just dug a trench in the soil with my finger and laid in the stem, backfilled and voilà! It's now back at ground level and I'll get some more roots out of it.

Anyway, I was excited about the one day crack I got out of these seeds, I can now expect the rest of them to do the same by Saturday. I also expect the rest of the NYCD to by up by then as well. Then it's on...

What happened to running the c99 x haze cross? Holding off still on that?

I need work on my cab.

Yeah, I'm still letting them dry, but they are going down! I don't want to risk them going gooey like the first one so I'll try again around the first of march, that way things are toggled a little far-and I'll find out if i need to adjust input/output of stock in the cab.

Thanks for being here! Updates to come..

I'm impatient want to drop them asap. Maybe I should hold off. Need my Ph meter first. BB having such issues I wont try again until I get it. That and waiting for clones to root.

Having to live vicariously so hurry up and get those pics

Oh crap- I've been living vicariously through you guys!

I'll hook up the computer in a few.

Well I'm at a standstill until I get rooted clones of each plant. Keeping an eye on the bb but not hopeful

Sorry folks, had to make a loom last night. I always have these dadgum projects that pop up out of nowhere that have to be done "right now"..

I'll see about them pics, after I get my head right this morning.

so here they are, bout damn time...


this is one of the first two NYCD
and the other





the northern lights ragamuffin..
only had the cfl going to get a good pic, maybe can see the HPS bulb silouette.?
seed crack! silver haze


thats kinda it for now, i didnt put up the pic of theNYCD seed crack, but all have and are almost ready to pot up.

ive got a busy weekend ahead of me, expecting company now.

thanks for looking!

Finally got those pics up. Didn't realize your nl were so far along. How far are they?

I'm not even sure, hold on.. It was around for a long ass time in limbo, it seems.
It was outside for a while and got all screwy light wise.
But two weeks in flower under cab conditions sounds about right.
I'm so unorganized,lol.

I actually got that NL from Cannabisseeds.com, I think.
There was a thread called " warning! Warning! Warning! "
I was too late to get that warning, but ya live and learn.

I left my computer outside earlier, and it got soaked in the rain!!
Fuuuuucccckkkkk!!!!! I dried it the beat I could and shook ok all kinds of water.
I hope it works whenit dries out and I feel safe enough to test it.

Damn that sucks. Hope you learned your lesson. Worst that happened to me was my window was halfway open. I was only supposed to be there a minute but got attacked by a nap and I lost. Seat was wet when I came out.

So what was wrong with the site and sounds like you got your order. Did you have problems?

Haha, Now my computer is in a plastic bag full of rice.
I really hope I didn't fuck it up.

I actually left my lights on an hour too long today also. Shit.
Oh well, it's only one night, one hour.

Still in a hurry up and wait type situation.

Yeah me too. stupid clones. I need help with my cab. guess I'm just going to have to muster an extra set of arms groing out my side. Already have one shoulder nearly out of socket though

Be sure that the rice isn't blocking your fans when you do finally turn it on.

The issue that people have had is no germing, all males, shitty genes. Some say they only sell 1 seedtype marked as all their varieties. I got em really fast I guess for International, 10 days. Most of them did not sprout, a few that did had their cotyledons just all kinds of stuck together. I almost through this last one away, but popped it for shits and grins. And low and behold, it actually took.

Shoot, now I'm worried it won't even turn out good.

Ok, gotta get breakfast started.

Yeah, I was worried about all the openings and gaps in the laptop, and rice getting in. Don't want it under the keys either.
Still have yet to check it. I'm going to try and give it another day.

On another note, all of the Nycd's have tails and are almost in planting cells.
Three of the SH have tails and two got dry on the end of the towel, so I worry bout them. Going to pot up all of these into little pots, I don't want anything drying out.

The Northern lights seems to be stretching and not growing at the same time.
I really wish it would fill in some, but patience is a virtue.

I'll keep taking pics, so when I get the computer running again I can load em up.
(and not leave it outside anymore

Ah, well that sucks. Hopefully it turns out good enough to hold you over till you get other plants through flower

You should have hit that bitch with an airdryer asap! Aslong as the water dont make corrosion or rush you should be fine.

I would still use an airdryer to it for a little bit before first bootup. Oh and did you disconnect the batter as soon as you noticed?


That sucks man, I dropped plenty of things downthe toilet but never left my PC outside. lOL
