Blooming soil
    #78825 - 07/10/08 09:32 PM (16 years, 8 months ago)

I am still a noob at this, so forgive my ignorance. I have grown about 4 or 5 times and I still have not had a female. Anyway, my plants (Free Tibet from Soma Seeds and Afghan x Haze) are 5 weeks old and about 1.5 to 2 feet tall. I just began the 12/12 (2) days ago (C'mon, females!). They need to be re-potted. Is there a special kind of soil I should get for flowering or will MGMC work...maybe with some additives?  I am currently using seed starter soil mixed with some horse poo from my myco days (Just something I whipped up and it seems to work great). Should I use that for the re-potting? I also started using 10-54-10 N,P,K, to aid in flowering...soon to have 4 different guanos. OR....Am I too late or too early to re-pot? They are only in 4" pots. What size should I move up to? I'm sorry for so many questions. Any and all help is appreciated. One more thing: I live in a 1 horse town, so getting supplies is tough...no car or license, either. ~Stroph

Sirius: The first few times I grew, I just used some seed from some stoney weed. The last couple times, I've used the free tibet and afghan x haze. My space is limited so I only grow 2-4 plants. That's why I have bad success with getting fems. I was also worried about using MGMC for the same reasons...too many nutes. Coda: You must be reading the same stuff I am. When I made my bloom solution, I only made it 1/4 strength...like you said. The guano I plan on using is Indonesian Bat Guano which has an N,P,K, of 0-13-0. I will also be adding DynaGro Protekt which has an N,P,K, of 0-0-3. I'm toying with the notion of using small traces of mg, ca, and fe. Do you think all of these nutes would be overkill? ~Stroph

Thank you both very much for your debate. It was very informative. That being said, I don't have to worry about soil any more. Guess what? That's right...2 more males. What the hell is going on?! Can anybody point me to a reliable site for some good genetics, please? Obviously discreet and stealthy. One more thing: Is it possible to save some pollen from both of these plants to be used to fertilize a future (hopefully) female bud? How long does pollen live and how would I store it? Thanks again. ~Stroph

I will get to the growing environment later...I'm typing on a phone. But I had the same luck outside, in a field. I don't want a site that will guarantee a female...that would be a scam. I don't want feminized seeds, either...I don't want a hermie. I just want a trusted site that some have used with a great delivery rate, i.e. no custom seizures. Suggestions? ~Stroph

Thanks for the tip. Here's a question: I just read that (aside from genetics and other rigamaroll) hermies can also be produced by introducing light during the dark period...I don't know for how long. Now, does that only go for females or can you turn a male into a hermie by doing the same thing? Why throw away a male when you could get some (seedy) bud? What do you think? ~Stroph

I took your advice and placed an order with dr chronic. I've never used a seedbank, so I found the cheapest strain "Sweet Purple" $16. I've always wanted a purple strain anyway. hopefully i will get at least 1 female. anyone ever tried this strain? ~Stroph

What's the average delivery time? does it come from paradise or dr chronic?
