Sweet Seeds Some sweets, some sweets. My kingdom for some sweets....

[Captain Howdy]

Howdy folks, good to have you all along for the ride, it's about time to shift this up a gear.

As predicted the soil I'm reusing has next to nothing in it, and it especially has no calcium left in it whatsoever. I noted this when the leaves just started to fade to a limey green a few days ago, I' gave her a dose of cal/mag and everything's greened up again before it caused any problems.
I'm gonna add a few dried eggshells to the soil (which I should have done to begin with to be honest) and for the next couple of feeds I'll just have to make sure to give her a small dose of cal/mag and keep on top of it while the shells work their magic.


She is desperately trying to grow vertically but I'm not having any of it, the light is pretty much sat right on top of her. Until I get these side branches to raise up a little bit she's not going anywhere. Trying to control it before it gets out of hand, using CFL's I have to keep everything I wanna flower at pretty much an equal height else I'm left with staggered harvests which are just a pain in the ass.


She's just had a feed of 2ml BioGrow, 1ml TopMax, 1ml Rhizotonic, and 1ml Cal/Mag.

I'll be bumping up the Grow on the next feed and removing the Rhizo.

There are a couple of blemishes on the leaves, not too sure how they got there, she could possibly have licked the light at some point, or there may be hot patches in the soil affecting the roots. I'll get it straightened out.
Other than that I'd say she looks good. More of a Sativa with a dash of Indica atm, and she smells exactly the same as my Cream Caramel, almost a sweet, nutty kinda thing going on. Awesome

Anyways folks, here she is on day 17






Take care

Looking nice and healthy man, cant wait to see it grow! my mom used to always put egg shells out in her garden her whole life she had been doing it,i suppose she prolly saw her mom doing it or friends from korea! kinda awesome they were doing scientific stuff to the microbes without really knowing exactly what they were doing.

Howdy folks,

Please forgive the ugliness of these photo's, got a bit of a wobble problem I'm can't seem to sort out so the place is in a little bit of a mess atm. I'll be getting a vacuum cleaner in there shortly

I tried really hard to keep the height on this girl down as she just wanted to grow vertically as fast as she could from the moment she broke the soil. She's also been throwing out some huge Sativa leaves which since the 3rd or 4th set, I've been trimming off to bring the side branches up and to also just thin her out a little, they really were huge, I'd guess around 20-25cm point to point
Pretty much everything you can see on her now is a flowering branch and she showed sex today so it looks like it'll be a good show

I've given her a little more headroom for the time being but I'm not gonna let her stretch too much or at all if I can help it.

Day 25

Ah, the old tricks are always the best. Coffee beans and teabags are always a good thing to throw out there as well.

Well Well Well,

I finally found you Capt Howdy. I think you got something going good here. I am still a fan of the Sweet Seeds. I would like to see how these come out.

Good Luck growing my friend.

Peace

Hey guys, good to see you, hope your both having a good week

Well, it's about time I prove how beastly this thing's become. I've still got a couple of hours until I can turn the lights on but when I do I'll grab some current photos for you to see, until then though, here's a couple to browse through

This is her on the 7th which would have been day 33 I think....

And again on day 36

I've been a little ill lately so I've struggled taking pictures but I promise I get some better ones later


Unfortunately, using CFL's I just don't think I have the light power to do this girl justice but I'll try my damnedest to do the best I can

:smokebuds:


Back shortly folks.

Howdy captain - just checking in and she's turning into a stunner!
Very leggy!

I've just made a start on some sweets - mine are looking a bit incey mincey in comparison with yours at 10 days - you'll have to drop in and share your secrets! ^_^

Rep slap incoming!



.. I'm not sure my rep is working, haven't been able to rep anyone today - it's in the post ^_^

 

[Captain Howdy]

Hey hunny, good to hear from you. How are you atm??

Leggy's the right word for her isn't it lol, I can't control it. I'd guess over the past 4 days I've had to raise the light 10 inches just to stop her from burning herself. Already she's millimeters away. I really hope it stops soon. Since last night thankfully she's started throwing pistils out in the necessary places so, fingers crossed, she'll start flowering and stop stretching

I'll definitely drop by and see you shortly, did I see a BlackJack next to your name

Be there in a mo


Right, better get these up. This is what she looks like today....

See you all soon
