"We took this Trip to Garden Grove"

[JL2G]

The two rooms earlier today. Girls are loving life today.

Debated on just two leds, or one and the cmh, said fuck it and fired up all three. ???
Moved the cob light out of the mix. Need to revamp that setup anyways. ???
Have a better design in mind for some day. Lol.

Flower room fired up again, a whopping two plants. Room still feels really empty. Lol

Staked the girls down some, get a grip on the stretch beforehand.
The Game is on. ???

Up potted the second Jenny Chem, I'll let her veg another week or so to stagger the chops.
A little IPM for any pesky pests might turn up in the soil. Just some diatomateous earth with spinosad in it. Good shit imho.

Veg rooms very empty now too. Time to paint it white, and plant some new seed. Fill that sucker up a bit. ???

It is, it starts with these, then I plant more, take clones maybe, plant a few more, flower some more, and pretty soon it's a friggin jungle and I'm a slave to the garden again.
Fuck, shits way outta hand already.
??? ???

 

[JL2G]

There's those days that give you signs you're on the right path in life, all is good in the world, and then there's those murphy's laws days that make you question your every move. lol. I'm so thankful for my garden and the happiness it brings to me, the herb it provides helps alot too. lol.
Makes those off days a bit more tolerable to muddle through. lol.

Anxious to check on the flower room tonite when the lights come on. I haven't got to check the flower room since last September. lmfao. Its been so long its almost like being a virgin again. ???

Going ahead with the next room updates, ordering some ceiling fans for the rooms, tired of having all the fans in the way of shit.
Two 36" fans in the 4' x 8.5" flower room, and one in the 4' x 5' veg room. Will hang a couple pcs of cattle fencing right below the fans for the lights to hang off of.
Gives me a 6" x 6" grid pattern of metal bars to hang the lights from, should make hanging and/or rearranging things a pc of cake. Oh, and the airflow, it will be amazing. lol.
The hard part will be getting the works done during lights on, them girlies go all night, 9pm to 8:45 am, kinda regret that timing of things. lmfao. Just so much easier to manage the heat of summer with lights on at night.

 

[JL2G]

Good morning world. ???
Had to post this one, holy crap Jenny has some legs. Kinda forgot the monster she can be.
Two days between pics, look at the height next to the bamboo stake. Lol.

 

[JL2G]

About time for some new stuff.
I love the mystery of seeing what each plant brings out for me.
Currently attempting to germinate 13 very old seeds. How old you ask, not sure lol, but they're from a "40 some yr olds" dad's old head stash.
You know who you are. ???
Magic Mystery tour here I come. Lol
Should be a great bit of fun to see what may come of them if I can get em to pop. ???

Did the 400 grit sandpaper trick, now currently soaking in some peroxide water on top of the stereo receiver to keep em warmish.

See how many, if any, please pot gods bless me with some love, please let them germinate. ? I'll fill in the remaining spots with some Citrus Milf x God Bud, and three Honey Sundae courtesy of @SSGrower. ???

May add some more stuff to the mix depending what pops. ???
Going for 10 to 13 new plants in this round of play. Males go bye bye unless they show me something extra special, like serious special. Lol.
I'll stagger the dropping of them as I see how many germinate, and to keep the rooms from being overloaded as they get bigger.

I love a good mystery. May the canna gods bless your endeavors with mystical old school fire.

I've been told Giberrelic Acid can help with old seeds, but I havent tried it personally. I have a gang of 25+ yr old beans to get through still. I've tried popping them 4-5 dozen at a time a handfull of times with zero germination. Im sure how they were stored plays a huge part in the success too. Best of luck with those beans brother. I'd love to see what could come of them.

Take all the blessings I can get. ???
For reals, it'd be a flash back from way back.
Ancient genetics. Lol.
Was told it's a mixed jar, bit of everything that was available back in the day, and that it's likely be some old school Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Thai Stick, and a lot of other stuff was mentioned as what it may be in there.
I'll keep trying them til I run out, or get some magic to happen. Lol.

Yeah, I've heard of that one too. It'll be in one of the next attempts should this round of them not work out. I've tried a few of them a few other times with no luck. These were stored in an old ammo box mostly full of seeds. Have a pill bottle of them gifted from a good friend.
Come on magic and happen. Lol.

 

[JL2G]

Flower room cruising along, both girlies happy as can be, don't fuck it up now Jesse. Lmfao.
BBB left, and Jenny Chem right.

Jenny Chem in veg gets flipped the end of this week, she took her toppings well and is going beasty on me. ???

One of the BlackBerry Breath clones has roots for sure. Others still TBD. ???
Yay for roots. ???

Just need one of the Jenny Chem to scream I'm alive to me now and I'm golden for my new mom's. ???
I think I'm good, but not taking chances. Lol Another three cups on the other side of the room.
If they all live, then I flower them all except one momma of each, and a couple for a fellow growmie.

 

[spyralout]

Looking good my friend. I’ve always loved your grow style and innovations. And those ammo box beans - it would be so awesome if something pops, Can you imagine?

Gonna do my best to not just set it and forget it this go round. Lol.
Keeping things a bit more sedated this grow.
Hoping for a treasure trove of old school if they'll pop for me.

 

[JL2G]

My hopes were high, the rest of me was too, lol, but not a one of them popped from the the old schools. Going for another attempt with a higher # of seeds, and see what happens.
I'll do another round with the H2O2, and a round with a bit of gibberlic acid. Gonna see what I see, and keep on tryin. Lol.
Either something will grow, or I'll run out of them.
Any of y'all had any other special tricks you've tried with + results?

I’ve seen seed “crackers” that @macsnax has used w success (on other seeds). @Phylex has used a c-clamp before. It exposes the seed more so maybe things such as gibberellic acid can get to the goods.

 

[Badmofo529]

I've heard that the nectar for the gods zeus juice can help with stubborn seeds, something about the humic acid softening up the shell. I've used it on and off, I don't really know if it ever made a difference but it never hurt anything.

i had 16/17 world of seeds pakistan valley go dead on arrival...they looked like they might but...

I will reset with pine tar kush or chitral valley kush once i get one succesful seedery out of the way...good luck !

I will try a couple of drops of peroxide, a dash of fulvic, soak for 24 and then into a paper towel, in a zip lock, labelled (sure g) on top of the cookie sheet sprouter (aka lower driven board veg light)

We are spoiled with these new beans and their 12 hours til sprout miraculous growth...old seeds have aches and pains or something.

 

[JL2G]

Go big, or go home dammit. Lol.
Dropped 66 of the old schools in peroxide water for another attempt at time travel.
???
Now if they all pop I'll be in trouble. Lmfao.
Dropped 3 BlackBerry Breath F2's, and 3 Citrus Milf x God Bud in the drink as well.

The clones I took of Jenny and BBB went pretty well. 6 of the 7 Jenny took, and 4 of 6 of the BBB are rooted. I'll keep one of each for new mom's, gift some out, and up pot the rest to throw in the flower room.
Yay for me. ???

 

[OldG]

Geeze, talk about a coincidence. I have 2 Citrus Milf just popped up to say high from their 2 litre planters. I remember loving that bud !

God speed on those old schools! No telling what gems are in those.

Nothing from the old schools yet, but one of the BBB, and one Citrus Milf x God Bud has popped.
Still thinking of a name for that one, it's getting long to type that way. ???
Godmother? Probably taken, lol.
My brain goes blank. Lol.
