Very cool video, thanks for posting it! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Rove Beetle feed before, let alone in slow motion.

These will be going in water tonight or tomorrow 
Along with the Ginger Grant #1 when it shows up! Very excited about both these. @BudWhisperer , thanks for sharing the love. They’ll be above ground soon.

Awesome i look forward to seeing what you unleash from the seeds. Hopefully an extra frosty and potent version of Jager.

Talk about living and learning! So frustrated with ventana nutrients right now. Even more frustrated with myself! Haha here I am…reading and rereading, right? Mostly. After digging all the way around, I’ve finally come to terms with using ventanas nutrients properly. The bottles themselves say “never mix with other concentrates” “always use in separate stock tank”. Cool. Anyway, you’re supposed to combine them once diluted in water. It is obvious once it all clicks, but up until last night, it didn’t…so here I am watering a liter of this and a liter of that. It wasn’t too ridiculous, but it made me feel like a dancing monkey. So while nutrients were being fed in mostly proper amounts, I was making things way, way harder than I needed to and chasing minor deficiencies around because they weren’t really getting full feeds. Lessons learned. As much as I’m kicking myself, I’m glad I caught it a week into flower and feel confident about how this round will finish.
Otherwise, I got sick of the Velcro and painstakingly threw the fritter in a tomato cage today. So she’s extra spread out now. The other two may or may not see the same fate. bubba d seems to already want to branch out and it looks like the wedding crasher will throw up longer colas more similar to wedding cake, so they may not need caged this round. Thanks for listening.

I heard youre never supposed to mix nutes with eachother and then add to the gallon. You should always add nutes one at a time to the gallon. Is that what youre referring to by saying once diluted?
Yes. It’s fine if they’re all in solution(water). You dont want to mix concentrates pretty much ever in my mind.
When they are all in water, life’s good.
With ventana specifically, you can end up with nasty precipitates if you combine in the wrong order or directly. So my misunderstanding was thinking you couldn’t combine them once diluted. I really appreciate the chemistry behind their product, but the instructions could be clearer.

Crazy what feeding properly can do, everyone. 🫡 Goodness on the way. The fritter responds to training like crazy and and it feels like the bubba d will yield very heavy. Sorry for an update a day here… will not show these again for a while to build some suspense. 
Happy Thursday!
Lights out to lights on

Good the bad and the ugly, eh? These are the eternal sunshine. They’re like 3 weeks old now and have had a rough go of it on top of being weird, squat little things. Omg coming through, but I certainly could have given them a happier environment during their first weeks. Thrips, cold nights and light temps creeping up have put them through the ringer. They’ll get their turn to shine!
Also have 5 Ginger grant f1 from briscos, 3 jager hashplant from bodhi, and 10 scarlet grapes down. The grapes will all get split between two 15 gallon pots and thrown right into the flower tent. The rest of the gear will have to veg and wait as I’ve got 6 more seeds to drop when they arrive! End goals are: 2 Ginger grant females, 1 eternal sunshine female, 1 Jaeger hashplant female to put in the flower tent come February with some beans I’m testing! The WMBK hit the flower room in 11-18 days. Craziness in the swamp.

Alright @blowdout2269
What did you do to these beans… this a lotta tails. Getting planted as we speak. 14 hours in water then overnight in a towel and this is where we are. Insanity.
@OhNo555
4/5 on tails on the Ginger grant, my friend! They’re also going in soil right now! Well, 3 are. The other two get to wait for another few hours.
And @BudWhisperer you’re up next!
Dropped 3 of the jager hashplant. Have two extra thick tails that are going in soil now and one yet to show!
Thanks to my friends here at OG for allowing me the chances to grow these genetics. I’ll keep em around, get em funky and do them well. Massive thank you.

What, ya didn’t expect such excellent germination rates? 
You can thank @Going2fast for creating this cross with such strong genetics from the start.
All I did was replicate them.

Great to hear, hope you get extra thick plants from those vigorous beans.

…Makes we wonder. For those of you who’ve got a lot of experience: Have you noticed much of a correlation between the vigor of the seed just as it pops (e.g. how quickly the tap root emerges, how long it is compared to others started at the same time) and how well it continues to grow?

I haven’t grown enough to be certain but frequently the slowest, frailest seedlings were very vigorous later. Enough so I don’t think I’m culling seedlings as early as I have. Maybe a few weeks at least.
Looking great

Eh! I’d like it to just be the truth, but it hasn’t meant that much to me in my experience. Whether it’s coincidence or not, I can’t say. I’ve got a lot of experience to gain still. This will be a great side by side to pay attention to that. I’ve broken some extra thick tails because they have no bend to them but I’d say vigor is separate to quality in my experience. Rule of thumb is that the most vigorous are probably boys, but I don’t actually know how much truth there is to that. Runts often some super desirable traits 
I’d say it’s mostly a toss up. Obviously if they become slow growers or one is growing for numbers, the weaklings can’t stay, but to comment on root size itself is difficult! Also I guess depends on if you value thicker root vs longer root. I’ve got a book around here somewhere that may tell me more 
My mind is telling me these heavy/pure indicas will have fatter roots because the ground is more compact where they grow and they need it to push through the wetter earth than the long flowering, thin root sativas do and that’s where it starts but I’m about as clueless as I am smart, so take that for what it is.
