Tim’s first Vietnamese black grow

[Tim]

Hello, I’m a fairly new grower and i want to start growing landrace strains.

I plan on using foxfarm soil and my 2x4 tent because it’s my tallest.

Vietnamese black is first on my list.

ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ADVICE WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

I would suggest using the search feature and type in land races. Plenty to read.

[Tim]

Thank you floyd, I will

Where are you located? VB likes HOT/HUMID conditions, gotta stay on top of it as NOT too resistant to pests, mildew, mold. I would advise sierranaturalscience.com (BOTH SN209 and 244C). It is NOT Black, more a deep Blue/Green color to foliage. Will “stretch” in growth, probably looking at 14 - 16 weeks. Good Luck in your endeavor, I’m sure it will be successful. Remember, OG can be your “Hotline!!” Continue to stay safe, take care, don’t get discouraged, and be well…mister

You are going to be bending and trimming and supercropping and swearing.

But it’ll be fun

Lol I’ve had them for almost a year and I’ve been honing my skills. My biggest anxiety is popping the seeds. I heard highland sativas have hard shells

I’m in southeast Michigan but I’m going to run them in a tent. Because of AC in the house I might have trouble staying above 70/75. I really appreciate knowing I can ask questions, thanks a million

I’m most nervous about germination. I always just germinate right in the soil. Going to try 24 hour soak in aloe water followed by the paper towel method.

50+ threads! Thanks again Floyd

I’ve sent this from a other thread. A good guide to germing hard shell seeds

For landrace seeds I recommend the following… #1 is to only attempt germination before a Full moon… 7-10 days before is ideal…I like 10 days. You want to have the moon gaining in strength, ( waxing moon) exerting more and more pressure on the shell of the seed the longer it sits, helping it burst. Along with a proper moon phase, A 24 hr soak in a weak peroxide solution to kill pathogens on the seed shell. Then, place seeds into a one inch chunk of living Aloe plant. (Cut a slit in the sid…

Oh man thanks. I’ve been watching Aladdin at Khalifa genetics but other than that it’s hard to find specific info like this

Same here!

@Tim

Because of AC in the house I might have trouble staying above 70/75.

I run a humidifier year round in the tent. During summer because of AC, During winter because of the furnace.

Figured after talking with a few new and old members I would start a Michigan Lounge. Hopefully for local connects and gifting of cuts and medicine as our law allows. But mainly just to have a place to kick the can about local life , laws and leisure, welcome one and all if your on OG your an honorary Michigander to me…:v: 8ter I’ll start, first outdoor grow ever 2 of first three were up rooted by a local bunch of Fox kits I believe, went total Bill Murray from Caddy Shack and start…

Pics! I hope I get a black one in my pack.

[Kimes]

This sounds like a great grow to follow. Wishing you best of luck, @Tim

[Tim]

Thank you I need all the luck I can get!

I would definitely run them on 12/12 from seed through flower, and use a lot of LST (low stress training). My guess is they will take about 6 months.

[anhthormap]

equatorial strains are better with 11/13. 13 dark. that’s what i’ve heard from podcasts i also have some VB strains, and I, too, afraid to germ them. so good luck.
