Grow Mediums pop22 does Kindsoil Live Testing for the CannaZone

[pop22]

When you find a method that workd for you, and you have repeatable sucess rates, chances are its NOT you! I've grown 4 year old seed, stored in a cigar box, with 80% sucess rate. Nope, I'm calling it, Sweet Seeds has some serious seed issues I think. I'm going to pm them about it and see what they say.

I'm still not fully convinced that I'm not still screwing something up in my seedling workflow. Even though I have long stretches of perfect germ rates, I get bad rashes of really low rates, while seemingly not changing anything in the flow. I do sterilize everything that touches beans...heck I'm about to start autoclaving everything lol.

It did suddenly come to my attention through research that growers with well water often have much higher levels of natural pythium spores than city treated water (because the chloramine kills the pythium apparently). So that might explain how my beans could be dying right after cracking or planting. But doesn't account for the long stretches of good rates.

Its certainly a beautiful plant! I'm about two weeks out I think, from harvest. And the 1-2 punch of Captain Jack's Dead Bug and Neem oil seems to have wiped out the damned micro terrorist... ( spider mites)!

Yeah @pop22 green poison has a killer smell and buzz I've not grown the photo but have grown the fast and auto versions I've had people tell me it's the best weed they ever had

I did. I've talked a little with Tommy before. He seems cool. I'll not post any more pics of them her, don't want to appear to be bashing Sweet Seeds, anyone's seeds can have issues, its how they handle the problem that matters. Tommy just went on vacation so as soon as we talk, I'll let you all know what's happening.

I agree with contacting Sweet Tommy and Jayp about the mutie issue! (You especially Anthro', since you're not buried in seeds like so many others!) ...They will want to know, and they're such fine folks, I'm sure they'll make things right,.. if you have the original packaging, you can give them the lot # which will help out a great deal,.. no process or company is perfect, and shit happens,... Personally I've never had a single issue with their beans in 3 years, but I'm but a very small sample,.. ...during the Sweet LS interview, I was asking Tommy about why Sweet Special had gone away; a superb strain that didn't get 1/4 of the respect and love it should have,... he said there was a breeding SNAFU, and a crappy batch got released, which got back to them soon via shop owners/growers; they recalled the bad batch seeds ASAP, offered comps, but demand took a shit on them because of just one bad batch and word-spread,... now, it's dead for good,..... and a black eye for Sweet, undeserved IMO,...
....Pop22, you'll LOVE the GP! @sniper will sing those Gospels with me! In fact, I think he's grown all 3 versions, photo, F1FV (what I've grown), and auto,.. all were so close in character, it was impressive! aroma, density, crazy resin production,... Mmmm, I'm still smoking on last seasons FV, and it's my weapon of choice for introducing peeps to Sweet! View attachment 605025

...Anthro, what were the temp's you had when germ'ing? Too hot will definitely drop the germ rates, and it doesn't have to be by much,...

.... EoF be sure to get us dry porn too! :drool:

>>> :smoking: Okay, time to fire off the update before dinner! Here they are 6 days later,... all they got as some Jump Start root tonic for post transplant boost ...(Si supplement and Hygrozyme aside)... next round of water will include some inoculants, which I should have added earlier!

I've hesitated as I've not wanted this to look like I'm bashing Sweet Seeds, I understand things happen...lol! So, I've let the Ice Cool grow, and for what they are, they are lookinh good. Some issues with plant 1 ( the tall one ) but I've had to give them tap water. I put some in a bin to let the chlorine evaporate. But I forgot to check ph. Well....... true to form my shitty water spike a ph of 8.2! Several plants show sign of ph fluctuation, but all seem to be back on track now.

Both plants are healthy overall, and thriving in the Kind Soil. The plants may be small, bud the buds are getting fat. The plants have a pleasant smell, sort of like the spice section in a supermarket.

Looks to me like they have maybe 3 weeks left.

Ok, today is chop day! I let these little ladies go as long as I could, they've got a lot of amber on them! HARD buds! And STINKY little things! And as small as they are I bet I get 20-25 grams from them together!

I really wish they had not been muties, they may have been some awesome plants! I can say, they fed well on the Kind soil! I've too much on my plate for now, but I'll give Kind soil another run or two in the future! I will credit the Kind soil with the great buds on these weirdos...lol! Full report tomorrow!

Here are pre-chop pics:

So your Sweet seeds didn't like it either......lol!

I'll drop some Black Dragons in Kind soil later on, we'll see how they like it! In fact, when i do it again, I'll run 4 different strains and see what happens. It may just be too hot for certain autos
