I have started off five Super Critical seeds very kindly sent to me for testing by the Green House Seed Co, along with Franco's special nutrient mix, which is formulated for the whole cycle of vegging and flowering.

I will be keeping these in the greenhouse using B'Cuzz Kilomix soil and Franco's nutrients only, as and when they actually start flowering I will add some Atami Bloombastic but until then nothing else.

All five seeds germinated so the Super Criticals have had a 100% success rate on germinating, which is brilliant, they all popped up within one day of planting into Root It organic matter cloning and seedlings cubes.

As soon as they popped I put them in the B'Cuzz soil mix in these pics they are two days old.

These are just Root It advert pics not my plants.

Five Super Criticals plus four White Rhino x Skunk#1 I intend to put out on guerilla row

as the title says i am doing,

altho the label says it only contains magnesium they have said that this new label is made the way it is because of laws and that the bud candy still contains the same formula i dont know so im gonna try it out

i found out that it still contains all the old ingredient's the only difference is that they switched to a different type of molasses apparently because of complaint's from people with hydro set ups so here is a list of whats actually in bud candy

the medium i have choosen is a straight half & half perlite to coco fiber.

made a mistake and killed my whiteberry seedlings so im back to square one, i have decided to go back to doing green o matic so i am gonna give it another run

just a straight half half perlite to coco and i bought a new ph tester, i am starting this grow within the next few days so update will be added as soon as they pop, i will growing both plants under HPS i have 2 150W HPS sun systems lights and i am basically growing them both under the two lights.

(picture is of the new ph tester in the coco perlite mixture i pre mixed the seeds go in on wensday)

First off thank you fuzzy for arranging test nutes and keeping the forum up and running ;-) and thank you Franco for sending the test nutes ;-) (they dont have to do these things but they do).

Ha to delete every thing as I was Bitching a bit to not receiving seeds and starting so late,also I moved pictures on hosts site not realising it takes them from here too..

Ok then,

This is a Nutes test,Im not entirely sure what nutes to put against Francos Nutes and I can only do 1 plant with francos nutes as theres not really enough.

The plan,

Francos Powder Nutes Vs my usua favoured Nutes Vitalink max veg and bloom with pk13/14 or vitalink buddy in last 3 week vs Vitalink easy (New range by the looks) not sure but I might do a Dynagrow nutes as Ive read good things and a Advanced Nutes Hammerhead and sensi with Big bud (not sure on last 2 yet but 1st 3 are a deffo)..

Grow Method,

Hydroponics 10 litre oxy buckets (buckets with air stone)

Feed schedule,

Im going to go grab a Graph for schedules all will be started with Vitalink plant starter from day 1,all clones were dipped in CloneX,(read next post for guide).

Lights

3x 600 watt HPS may be 4 all wil use same bubs,hopefully Sunmaster duel spec as I have 1 duel spec in at the minute on current crop and there is huge differences.

So 1st off,Heres Franco Nutes,got to add a big thanks as it costs him time and money to send these things out to us and he dont have to..

OK so were doing this with Big Buddhas blue cheese,im glad I cought a couple of lower arms when I did as I had just put the mother in to Bloom and now 3 weeks ish in shes got amazing colas and a good 6 of them,I wil get a good piccy of mother up.

All these are with in week 1.

I will try keep this clean and in order so I will edit main posts on updates and a Guide post to how im doing things..

UPDATE

Oh,I see,made it al complicated again ha,right back to test and no more guides as this is a test..

Right,combination of window and flower room and they are like this.

To be honest im in a situation with these,there to big for the tray,way past there final transplant,still aint vegging properly.

I think what I may do is just use francos nute in flower and just put these straight in to flower very soon,I dunno,dont look like there clone friendly as cola branches are strugging to grow,I got to try though as mom is just HUGE,here look

I think every thing should be harvested with in 2 week,3 max so Im thinking top these or prune roots to stunt them a bit,give my white lemmons and exodus seeds a chance to grow,harvest,clean room out and re do every thing,but then I got to harvest and dry ;-(,I will work it out as I think I could do a box to dry them in while still able to use the room for vegging a bit and while there small,paint and sort the hole lot out,all sorts of stuff thats risky going on..

Wil update soon,as for now there in the tray for a bit,hopefully theyl be fine and just root not,this is all ok as I want as much stunting as possible,weird to say but deffinitly the case..

Take care thanks for reading

9.5 2011 seed and nutr. test kalashnikova

they will come in here that why only four plants

12.5.011
day 3 in germ
the seeds cracked up and i put them in the soil pots
this time the seeds take more time too germ dont know why
i give them 24 hours 125w because off the average temp of 26 degrees
when they start too open the germ leaf they will get 18 hours vegi
13.5.
heads up cheers.....the two others seem too take one more day
temp average 26 degrees night and day





3 plants kalashnikova lets see what happens they grow much slower in soil then i expected the plan is one without nutrients and the others GHE VS Francos nutrients,i made some mistake with germing and i lost some seeds maybe there was some nutrients left in my soil but this 3 nice girls should a make it, new life is born :"Keep your face too the sunshine and u will not see the shadows"

The Set Up I am using for the controlled environment is split over an under stairs cupboard and a Secret Jardin Grow Tent.

The Under stairs is used for vegetive growth and contains:

• 2x 400w MH Lights
• 1x Oscillating Fan
• 1 x Extractor
• 1x Intake
• The Soil Im using is BioBizz Light Mix

4x Cindy'99 (1st Batch)

5x Jack Herer (1st Batch)

5x AMS (1st Batch)

5x Chunky Cheese (2nd Batch)

5x Shining Silver Haze (2nd Batch)

5x I.C.E (2nd Batch)

1x Exodus Cheese (2nd Batch)

1x Klashnikova (2nd Batch)

1x Ladyburn 1974 (2nd Batch)

Batch 1 wads planted 2-3 weeks ago and Batch 2 was planted a week ago

What Im going to do is split each strain (Apart from the singles) in to 2 halves to get a control group and a normal group.

The Normal Group will be fed:

• BioBizz Fish Mix
• BioBizz Alg-A-Mic
• BioBizz BioGrow
• Advanced Nutrients Piranha Root Boost

The set up in the Secret Jardin Tent is:

• 2x 600w HPS lights
• 2x Oscillating fan
• 1x Extractor
• 1x Intake
• Again I'm using BioBizz Light Mix as a medium.

• 5x Super Critical Auto
• 4x BigBang Auto
• 4x Royal Auto
• 5x Royal Dwarf
• 5x Quick One
• (as you can tell needed to get some quick plants through while the normal plants mature!)

• BioBizz BioGrow
• BioBizz Bloom
• BioBizz Alg-A-Mic
• BioBizz TopMax
• Advanced Nutrients Big Bud
• Piranha Root Boost

I shall start uploading pictures later on today, I just wanted to write the pre-test journal out lining what will/is be/ing done.

A big thanks to GHS for letting me test these nutrients.

Peace & Jah Bless

Set seeds to soak overnight in plain tap water, 2 x Big Bang, 2 x Super Critical from GHSC and 2 x Lowryder 2's I got from Joint Doctor.

Day:

Planted up seeds in Root Riot cubes in net pots sitting in ice cream container covered with cling film and a book on top to keep in place and make it dark.

That's it for now will post progress as they develop.

Best wishes all that stop by,

Toaor

What Franco and Arjan have done here is quite amazing stuff in my eyes, not only fem seeds but captured the genes

and i thank you once again for the chance to test and very much looking forward to the end product , great work put in to this by the greenhouse team!

Picked out 6 of the best seeds, dropped them in the H20 at 13.00hrs, updates of grow room spec, fedding, temps and eC will follow as we go!
