very true, good tip (and, make sure they have excellent drainage)

later

I was lucky enough to get sum NCDG beans, My hands are full with other strains atm but before it's nice enough for outdoor I'm hoping to find a good NCDG mom in the Bunch...

Reaper is the rice in the bean bag to battle humidity, if so good idea...I too hope to grow some beauties w/ these beans...Indoor and out...

funny, i was just googlin for some info on NCDG and found this thread (i luv google)
turns out i was lucky enuf to be gifted with some beans from a recent hermied NCDG (thx WT)
was lookin for some info on the strain and didnt realize the history here.
Great job IR, and even more exciting is my particular love of the energetic strains!
now, im even more excited to pop a few of these!

I will be sure to start a dedicated log for these beans

I'd like to know more about your ncdg 'hermie' ... this is first time I've EVER heard of her switching sex ... bad girl, bad ! ... I purposely mistreated NCDG plants for 2 years, trying to force a hermie (didn't happen) ... tell me more, please

There already has been a grow log or 3 on here for NCDG.

IR, the NCDG rocks!! after only 3 weeks in the cure jars, all it takes is one hit with the waterpipe... If I take more than 2 hits, I gotta turn off the TV and the puter cause there are too many colors

I also noticed that it takes about 10 minutes for the effects to hit... Was this planned?? or was it a surprise??

IR, hey. sorry , i assumed it hermd, WT sent me some beans.

i just went n reread, it was from a NCDG he grew n pollinated w NCDG.
so, i guess i have a gen2 bean????
i dont know a thing about the coding lingo.

sorry for the confusion, i was stoned on white widow and ampd from receivin the beans today.

thanks for the response, I gave quite a few seeds out to growers, as test batches, and never got word of any hermies ... if WT made some beans, that's cool, I'm 're-assured' my lines are still primo ... like most daddies, I'm concerned with my little girls reputation (I hate hermies, lol) ... good growing ! ... P.S., when she grows out, and is in the pipe, you'll throw rocks at that WW

Funny you mention that about the white widow, IR... I'm tired of smoking it and got some NCDG for something new

** UPDATE **

Turns out the problem with the germination was due to the cooler weather and the paper towel was too moist.. (actually wet) but all DG'S popped just fine eventually. They germ much faster with warmer temps and not-so-moist paper towel (my fault)

Anyways, another problem was my coco was staying too moist and cold so that is what caused them to die, not the germination technique.

I have 2 out of 5 seedlings doing very well for now, and the 3rd NCDG should be popping up pretty soon. The other 2 were lost due to the cold/wet coco; again, my fault.

So all in all I should have 3 healthy plants and I will be sure to update them as they progress, with pictures. I've never tried LST before but I think i'll try it with these; we'll see. I promise not to disappoint you all here at cannabis.com and Image Reaper, for sharing these fine genetics.

Thanks again everyone..

glad to hear you're getting it sorted out ... cool temps and too much moisture is a sure bet for 'damp-off' problems ... don't use any ferts for at least 2 weeks, and half-doses, throughout most of her life, she is a light feeder ... she likes molasses, too (tablespoon per gallon) starting a week or two, before flowering, and during ... lay off everything the last 1-2 weeks, let her flush out ... you can snip away at her, she doesn't mind pruning, etc., but I'd let her get grown up a couple feet, if you can, first ... she doesn't get too awfully tall indoors, mine were usually just bent over, and tied the last few weeks ... I had to keep mine down to about 4'-5', due to cabinet size ... if you're growing with high-pressure lamps, you will likely need to support her branches, her buds will be large and heavy, she's a real good producer ... good growing ! P.S. - I don't have experience with the coco medium, watch your pH ...

If you end up in south mississippi, then you can tell me for sure if I did right on the daddys girl, nad the Ultra Haze should be finished about mid march, tho all her trichs are cloudy now....might be sooner. Was sent some beens from another breeder that sound interesting... they will prolly be in the next grow. Something about "Toxic Blue" F2. Supposed to be a really good pain med. We shall see.

IR ,

Still have some bottom fan leaves going pale yellow. Is this from my over ferting with castings tea or a lack of nutrients ?

you're not giving me much to go on, no details, no photos, BUT, 'over-ferting' results in burnt leaf tips, not yellowing ... yellowing leaves during vegetation, 'generally' is a nitrogen deficiency, while yellowing fan leaves during flowering is perfectly normal ... keeping the soil too wet, and root-bound pots, also exhibit yellowing leaves (in addition to less-common factors) ... growing-wise, NCDG isn't any different than most strains, EXCEPT, she tends to be a light-feeder, so, resist the 'fertilizer/additive syndrome' ... really, this is very Basic stuff, and thoroughly covered in the Plant Problems threads ... but, I'm happy to help while I can, keep us updated

IR,

Here's a pic of the plants with yellowed leaves. Just tranplanted to bigger buckets the other day with promix. Would like to set to flower in a week or so.

http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/e...racker/004.jpg

those are a bit yellow, yes ... worm castings are outstanding, but slow-acting, nutes ... you might want to give her a bit stronger dose for a few waterings, see if she doesn't green up ... I recommend waiting until you see alternating branches, before switching to flower, but if limited in overhead space, ya do what ya gotta ... keep me updated, I'll stay with ya ...

IR,

Thanks for the tips. I have some shultz 5-10-5 liquid fert. Should I mix that at half strength ? I thought the new soil would provide enough ferts to allow a recovery .
Not sure what alternate branching is. Tallest plant is about 16 inches. I have a small grow area. Little better than 2 sq ft and lit by 4 x 20W flo tubes. Don't think light will penetrate too deeply if the plants are tall. Plan to install a screen for sea of green . Also pressed for time. Would like to harvest a crop my early May. But I plan to regenerate after harvesting buds for a second crop . So final amount not so important.

go ahead, and give a regular dose of the schultz 5-10-5 to your plants, then use a half-strength dose, once weekly ... you can continue with your worm castings, if you'd like ... you really need a lot more light than what you have, but we make do, with what we have, eh ? ... 'alternating' branches, indicate the plant is mature, and ready for flowering ... instead of two branches sprouting from the main stem opposite each other, they are 'staggered' ... you can switch to flower at any time, but best results, come from waiting for maturity ... be sure to research the Basic Growing threads, most of this really should be known, before even planting seeds ... hang in there, your plants are looking pretty good, actually ... good luck
