New Grower 2nd grow - Sweet Seeds

[FreeTheWeed]

Hola gang,

I am a long time lurker at this site and have learned a ton from this site. Therefore it is time to give back and help other people out. Keep the karma right and good vibes flowing.....

My first attempted grow was Auto Berry Ryder which was a disaster. The plant is still around but very stunted. After reading this forum, I learned that I probably watered the poor seedling WAY too much and just used straight potting soil with no additional perlite to help remove the excess water.

Second grow is with the Sweet Seeds family. I've heard nothing but positive reviews about the seeds but haven't seen too many grow logs so I'm going to put mine up here. My first grow is one Cream Mandarine and one Black Cream. I'm well into the 2nd month with these two. Also have a Cream Caramel seedling that just poked above the soil.

Need to leave now but will post more info about setup, feeding schedule and lots and lots of pics. Later.....

OK I'm back. Here are the starting details.

Germinated 1 Black Cream and 1 Cream Mandarine (Auto, Feminized, Sweet Seeds)
o Put between wet coffee filter and between paper plates
o Covered with towel and put in closet
- Made Soil Mixture
o 5 parts Fox Farms Happy Frog
o 2 parts Perlite
o 1 Part Vermiculite
o 1 part Worm Castings
o 0.25 parts dolomite
- Put Soil Mixture into 1 gallon planting pot and soaked using tap water.
o Left soil mixture outside to drain

Seeds germinated after two full days and were placed into the soil mixture. These seeds germinated in early April.

Growing chamber: As you can tell from my setup, I live in a VERY cannabis unfriendly area so stealth is of the uptmost importance. My setup is a modified cabinet from Lowes with some CFLs at the top. (Started off with 6500K). CPU fans were added for ventilation. The whole thing was pretty easy to setup and is placed in a bigger cabinet which helps to muffle the sounds from the fan and any light leaks. I can post pics of the cabinet if people want.

Sorry been out of touch for a while. Crazy busy lately too sit down and post. Anyway here is a group photo of my current grow. The two in the back are Cream Mandarine (left) and Black Cream (right). Those two are on Day 50. The little guy in the front is Cream Caramel on the 20th day.

So lets start with the Black Cream because that has been by far the most interesting grow. Here is a photo of it around Day 14:

Day 50:

Currently the Black Cream is right at 20 inches tall and smells like this awesome mix of sugar, berries and chocolate. Really unique smell. Hard to describe but looking forward to the smoke.

The colors on this plant are pretty freaking amazing. Lots of dark purple everywhere and was wondering if I could get the full darkness out under better growing conditions. Been growing under CFLs and it is getting pretty hot where I live. Have to grow outside in a secure cabinet.

Here is a little bit closer picture inside with flash

Now the Cream Mandarine is awesome and I can't wait to blaze this one up. It smells literally like an orange hard candy that's been dipped in weed. Both this one and the BC are not giving off a bunch of odor and have to get up close to really smell it but it smells so freaking great. I never knew that weed could smell this great and all this time I have been smoking shitty ass bagweed that smell like dog nuts for no good reason.

The plant itself is pretty small (about a foot or so) and is pretty frosty. In another forum, someone said this was a great hash making strain and I can believe it. Mine is not as frosty as it could be. Probably need better growing conditions and better lighting besides CFL.
