Time to start the new grow. Vegging is always boring so there probably won't be too many updates in here until flowering starts. I hope to start flowering in about 5 weeks.

Currently I have 12 seeds sitting in a cup of water. These seeds came from a hermie but I'll have my handy dandy bottle of reverse on hand. The plant these came from hermied due to light leaks, which I have a completely sealed cabinet so this should not be a problem; and the reverse is for good measure.

I'll post some pics after the seeds break through the soil in a few days.

Does anyone have any experience with this strain? How does it smoke? How strong is it? How bad is the odor during veg? How much did you yield per watt/lumen?

Just read through your last grow to get some background.
Impressive first grow man.
I hope this one will be as successful.

I'm here for the ride. Good luck.

I'm not sure of the breeder as I got these from a friend. A quick google search tells me "X-Line", so I'm not sure if that's the name of the breeder or if seed banks call all crosses "X-line".

Thanks, I think I've decided on growing in CoCo this time around with all Canna products.

Does anyone here know anything about CoCo and Calcium. I've read that it can interfere with the uptake of calcium to the actual plant.

IT can be a MONSTER of a plant!!! Someone on here even got 18oz of ONE plant!!! I had a porblem with my 2, but I will be planting more...Weird leafs seem to be the norm with it too.

all 12 of the seeds after soaking in the cup for about 15 hours or so have sunk. I've taken them out of the cup and put them in a moist paper towel until they crack.

Hopefully they'll crack in the next day or two and I can transplant them into their rapid rooters.

hey man i am growing a northern lights * haze strain and im about 7 weeks into veg. ill be flowering when i get back from vegas nxt tues. its a beautiful plant. check out my log. there is a link in my sig. good luck with ur grow.

daihashi, it's been awhile, my friend! Glad to see you've got another grow growin'. And, this one sounds like it will be a doozy - 12 beans of Sour NL x NH; you've got to like the NH. I've got a Colombian Red Haze (Colombian Red x Neville's Haze) brewing outside as we speak.

I'm looking forward to your log and seeing those mighty fine beans break through the soil to stretch out their cotyledons! I'd wish you good luck, but know you don't need it! Have a great weekend, amigo! Aloha

daihashi · #9 (**permalink**) Aug-29-2008, 17:11

7 out of 12 seeds have popped.

Well let me rephrase that, all seeds have cracked open and 7 out of 12 have a tiny bit of their taproot exposed. These will probably all be ready to transfer into their rapid rooters by tomorrow morning.

daihashi · #10 (**permalink**) Aug-30-2008, 11:08

So here are the specs of this grow:

11-12 Plants/seeds

400 Watt MH @ 7200K (vegging)

600 or 1000 Watt HPS (for Flowering, haven't decided yet.)
1 6" 424 CFM inline fan with carbon filter for Veg area, Hooked up through a cooltube with one end open so it is exhausting both the light and the area. Exhausting through a carbon filter

2 6" 424 CFM inline fans for Flower area. 1 dedicated to a completely enclose Cooltube, and the other exhausting the entire room through a carbon filter.
Distilled Water at 5.8 - 5.9 PH (for the first 3 weeks of veg I will be using tap water. Distilled water is too hard to PH without first adding CalMag, which contains nutes, or something to kind of buffer the PHdown.)
Canna COCO plant medium
Canna CoCo A/B nute set (Veg/Flower)
Canna PK 13-14 booster
CalMag+
Canna Boost (this seems to be pretty much like using Sweet to me. Since I'm going all Canna products this time around I think I'll use their version of 'Sweet')

For Plant/root health:

Canna Rhizotonic
Cannazym

Tools:

Thermometer/Hygrometer
EC/PPM meter
PH Meter

Here is a pic of 9 seeds that popped and showed their tap roots. I put them in rapid rooters that have been soaking in water ph'd at 5.9 and then covered the holes up top with a little bit of Canna COCO. This is to help keep the tap root humid and to help prevent the rapid rooter from drying out so quickly

They are under 3 CFL's for now and will will probably remain there the first 3-6 days or so after they break soil. After which I will put them under the MH lighting.

daihashi · #11 (**permalink**) Sep-03-2008, 08:00

9 out of 12 have popped through the rapid rooters. 3 out of 12 seemed to have died off. Tap roots came out but then went back into it's hull never to be seen again. I'm guessing maybe the rapid rooters weren't warm enough for them or maybe germination wasn't warm enough in the towel.

Someone posted that these plants have weird leaves and they're right. 1 of the plants was born with it's cotyledon leaves but only 1 true leaf

Two of the plants that has popped only shows the cotyledons and no true leaves. Really weird!

The other 6 plants look somewhat normal. Hopefully they outgrow this funkyness soon. I'm going to try to put them under the MH light starting Saturday morning. Hopefully the root system will be built enough to be able to handle it.

We'll see, if nothing else I have like 16 more beans.

I'll post pics up tonight of the funkyness.

I gotta lot of weird growth outta these seeds...Odd shaped leaves...weird growth patterns...Didn't seem to affect actual growth much at all...At least on the ones that survived...lol
A lot of them didn't make it...but when you get a couple that do....SOOO worth it

well, I have 4-6 that look like they'll make it.. no problem. I may start germinating about 6 more beans. I really wanted to have 12 plants minimum this time around since i'll be doing SOG probably. I figure about 1-2 oz per plant (this is assuming I some how screw things up.. I've heard this plant yields pretty good, which will give me plenty to smoke and help out some of my Sick buddies with

McToker · #14 (**permalink**) Sep-03-2008, 14:45

Sounds like a very interesting strain. Might be a bit tall for my grow area but if you don't mind, I'd like to follow along on your grow and see how it goes.

The more the merrier! I'd be more than happy to have you follow along with this log. Thanks for checking in!

SnSstealth · #16 (**permalink**) Sep-03-2008, 16:23

Not sure this strain is good for SOG...seems that the others that have grown it on here, it seems to be a monster bush strain...Think WH has grown this a few times...lol Ask her about SOG for it...

Thanks for the heads up. I'll see if I can find some of her logs on it.

daihashi · #18 (**permalink**) Sep-03-2008, 17:41

Put 6 more seeds into a cup to pop before I transfer to a towel or rapid rooter.

Here is a pic of he current 9 plants and some of their funkyness. I have 4 that look completely normal and the rest look a little like odd balls.

Weedhound · #19 (**permalink**) Sep-05-2008, 16:14

I'm with Stealth.....I've had some FUNKIES with these seeds but also some nice ones so it's kind of up for grabs.......hope you get a bunch of good growers in your group.

What did you do with the funky ones? Did they ever grow into themselves?

Weedhound · #21 (**permalink**) Sep-05-2008, 22:32

Yes some did.....but never really flourished so if you're pushed for space....dump them first.

SnSstealth · #22 (**permalink**) Sep-05-2008, 22:46

With what we have learned, Ill be popping maybe 7-8 beans this go round to have 3-4 keepers. You will notice the wackiness pretty soon, and like WH said, I would just cull em.

Not really pushedfor space.. more pushed for time. So I'll probably dump them if they don't pick up the pace in 3-4 days. I've got 6 more seeds germinating in the mean time.

Thanks for the heads up
