The IntroductionToday I germinated 20 early queen (Mr. Nice), 10 speed queen (Mandala) and 5 ppp beans. Seeds came from the boutique. The 5 ppp were freebies.
I had planned on trying a few different germing techniques, but after further reflection I decided to keep it simple for this run.(paper towel method) This is going to be my first grow with decent genetics. I think it would be smarter to run some tests with bagseed, but that will be done another time.
So this will be an outdoor grow. Moms will be carefully selected and cloning will begin in the early spring. Yes I know it is a bit early...but my grow-partner is very eager to begin, and since he is providing the room to grow in and paying the electricity bill...i saw no reason to argue the early start
.
I selected speed queen and early queen so I/we could get an early harvest. I live in Maine and the grow season is a bit short here. I believe our first frost arrived within the first week of October this year.
We will not be cloning the ppp. The freebie pack had 5 in it, so i am hoping for at least 2 females. I am going to grow them in 5 gallon buckets. I will get one and my friend will get the other.(assuming there will be 2) He is very skeptical of lst or hst training or any training for that matter. We will be bringing the plants inside to flower.(it will be very interesting to see mine/his side by side.) I will be keeping an eye on the daylight hours so i can give them as much outdoor veg as possible. I am interested to see how this goes. I will probably be flowering with a 400 watt hps setup for them..but that will be discussed at a more appropriate time.
My friend and I will not be growing in the same outdoor locations. So I will be documenting the progress indoors and then just my selection of clones throughout the outdoor grow season.
Once the beans pop they will go under two 32 watt t8's. When they are strong enough to handle a little heat they will get a 4 bulb HO t5 set up which will be purchased at the local dro shop.
I will be using pro mix when they are seedlings and when they are ready they will be transplanted into Fox Farm's Ocean Forest. I am currently unsure of what I will be using for nutrients. It will be as organic as possible I can assure you all of that. It's just my personal preference
Photos will be coming soon. It may take a while as I have very little knowledge of computers. Well that's it for the intro, questions..comments..critisism is greatly appreciated. Anything that can help me look at things from a different prospective!

look how much stretch you have on those plants over to the left in the blue cups. Looks like your light is on a slant, i presume that's what's caused it.
