First sprout came up yesterday and the other one came up today.

The first one to come up was rather stretchy really fast.  I'm going to replant him early go firm up that center stem.  I'm concerned that one is a male as they tend to grow taller quicker (or so I've read).  But I'll wait till flowering to see for sure.  These little guys go under the stronger light tomorrow.

These things don't look right.  The firs set of spike leaves curled up a lot.  I'm thinking maybe the soil I put in the bottom is maybe too nutrient rich?  Maybe I'm over watering them.  I'm not sure.





I've added some more fans.  I'm hoping this will firm up the stems on these plants and stimulate stronger rooting.

zWell one of them straightened out.  I didn't do anything special to make other than adding some fans.  The other one still has curled up purple leaves.  I'm still holding out hope for the leggy curled up one.  In my other grow my leggy AKR#3 turned out really nice in the end.  So hopefully these two can both grow up to be healthy and productive females.  I won't know for a while though.  These are not from feminized seeds so we could have a boy or both boys for that matter.  At any rate the one plant straightening itself out literaly and figuratively makes me feel better about these seeds.  I was a little worried they might be worthless genetics.

Yep it's a minifridge.  I saw someone else do it first and I liked how ordinary the minifridge looks especially in the storage area of my basement.  I will say taking off the cooling unit and cutting holes in a steal exterior was not as easy as I thought it would be.  I used a cutting wheel on my drimmel to do it and I went through about 8 wheels.



It is two grows I have going on at the same time.  Sorry I should have pointed that out to make it more clear.  The larger plant on the right of this picture is (World of Seeds) Afghan Kush Ryder and the little guys on the left (Nirvana) Short Rider.  I like including both in the pictures for perspective sake.  Also I get more milage per photo since I'm not a sponsor on the site I have limits on my uploads.  That's tricky because I take most of my pictures in 'macro' mode which make them good quality but the files are large and eat up my total alotment of storage space for pictures on this site.



Just a side thought.  Some one should come up with a strain called Knight Ryder. *imagines KIT noise weeooweeoo weeooweeoo*
The slogan could be "it gets you high faster than anything else on the street".

I think I have two females here.  I'll be more certain next week I think.

The long stemmed one I'm going to call NSR#1 and the shorter one with the broader spikes I'll call NSR#2.

NSR#1 is getting more sets of spikes with very short internodal lengths.  The first set of spikes are still curled up but it doesn't seem to matter yet.  I'll let this one go another couple weeks and I'll replant it.

NSR#2 coming along just fine.






Those two beans I put in the distilled water last night popped.  I planted them today 2cm deep in some course grade vermiculite.  I put them in 3.5in pots with Espoma Seed starter soil on the bottom and straigh vermiculite on top.  That method seems to be working so far.  So I'm sticking with it.  You may have noticed in the pictures above if you were watching carefully that I added a very thin layer of soil on top of the verm layer for NSR#1 and NSR#2.  The idea was to let the tiny bits of soil filter down in between the bits of vermiculite each time I water and add nutrients as well as help sturdy up the soil around the root ball.  I'm hoping that will help hold the root ball and all the soil and verm together better during replanting.  In the past few attempts I haven't had a problem yet but the area of vermiculite is loose and must be handled very gently.

Is that once a day?



Nope every two days.

So far things are looking well for most of the Nirvana grow. 

NSR#1 is still curly.  I'm hoping it will straighten out once I repot it which I'm considering doing tomorrow.
NSR#2 looks good to me.  I'm hopeful it is a female and that it starts to flower soon.
NSR#3 coming along just fine.  A little lanky but not too bad. 
NSR#4 looks a little wimpy as it broke the soil today.  Let's hope it survives. 

There is now room for four more plants I think.  I'm going to go for it.  I'm putting four more in water tomorrow night.  I'm going to start them in dixie cups this time.  I'm thinking I'll get some tall half gallons and transplant them in there or I can go get some super big gulp cups at 7/11.  Anyhow I'm going to attempt to grow 8 plants in this minifridge and see what happens.  I had six plants below the lights and room enough for two above if I'm cafeful about it.

Ok the first pick is the way it was before killing the last AKR plant.  The second one is the after pic.  I can easily get another wo in here but any more is going to be a stretch and a test of my ability to get the best geometry for this space with regard to plant footprint and leave spread.

NSR#1 and NSR#2 were looking a little droopy today.  So I repotted them in cut off half gallon milk jugs.  So the volume of the new pot is really only about a quart and a half.  They have good looking root balls.

NSR#3 is coming along just fine.  Not much change there.
NSR#4 probably isn't going to make it.  I think I took it out of the high humidity and exposed it to too much heat and light too soon.  I was trying to keep it from stretching by getting it under good light sooner.  Better it stretches a little than dies.  Let's hope it was a male anyway. :P

I put four more beans in distilled water tonight.  Only two more Nirvana beans left after that. 
The rest are bag seeds.  I'm not ready to mess with those yet but I thought maybe this spring I might start 100 or so seedlings to help out a hippie friend who does the outdoor thing.

Ok here are pictures from two days ago.

NSR#4 is definitely going to make it.  The other three look ok.  They kind of look dry but I keep watering them.  Maybe I am drowning them.  I'm going to let them dry out a few days and see how they do. 



Here are the seeds I just stated a few days ago.  I thought I'd do a pictoral on how I start my seedlings.




First I fill the cups with Dirt and poke a hole in the center all the way to the bottom.


Next I fill the center hole with course grade vermiculite.



Next fill the pot the rest of the way with course vermiculite.



Now you need to really wet wet down the soil and the verm.  I find a spray bottle works well.  It's slow but thorough.



Now I poke a 2cm hole in the vermiculite and put in a seed.



Finally I push the moist vermiculite together over the seed.  Then I just cover over the top of the pot with some plastic.

They look like they need food man. I would get them some nitrogen stat.
