i wont be able to post any pics , unless i somehow aquire a digi. but i will update my info as i grow along. :roll:
i gremmed 3 each of the following :
Northern Lights, Orange Lights, Super Silver Haze & Mawi Wowie.
all 3 N.L.'s put out tap roots. & are currently doing ok. 1 has already shot its roots thru the rock wool plug. WooHoo.. the others are still going .
2 of the O.L. put out tap roots, but have since failed to do anything else. the 3rd bean is still in the dish & towel.
the Super Silver Haze 2 have popped tap roots & are going well. the 3rd bean is still in dish & towel.
the Maui i just started 2 days ago, & am still waiting on the tap roots to pop out.

SFC, if U wanna chane your name. just pm web420.
i got the Maui Wowie, in Amsterdam a few years ago. they are the last 3 beans i had . figured Y not see how they do...
I'm ok with my name, it's good to know we can though :thumbsup: I shit you not I was incensed that someone was using your Avatar. But I figured that would be a petty reason to lob a shot at a newbie. Can't wait to see your grow progress.

none of the Maui Wowie made it either. :rock:

hey Weedgirl , sadly the Maui Wowie didn't make it. only 1 seed put out a tap root. & that one didn't take. so i started up some others. i will update in a few days how they are doing...

well its been 45 days today since i started flowering, i've made a few rookie mistakes, when i should have known better. :eek: but the saying is U learn by your mistakes. & i did , i did learn a few things. :thumbsup:
my next batch will be bigger & better, my totals for this grow are about 1 & 1/2 oz from 3 plants. not a great job, but somes better then none ...
