First off I would love to thank Shanti and the crew at MNS for the work they have done to make this and all my other grows possible!! Secondly I would love to thank everyone else in the forum that has helped by either posting their own threads or by answering the many pm’s I have sent asking newbie questions!!
Now time to get down to work! I am new to this so please any mistakes or advice feel free to correct me. Any questions I will do my best to answer the best I can but I am just learning myself. This season I will be growing EQ, Master Kaze, Ash and Walkabout outdoors at 42 degrees N. I am hoping to find what will grow best here. That being the case it will only be small samples of each 3-6 of each. Not much for a pheno hunt but enough so I can have at least one of each hopefully. On April 4 I started a 24 hour soak on 3 EQ freshly won from the auction. No seed pack just the straw. At 16 hours I had my first baby crack open and say hello to the world by 24 hours they had all split!
They then were planted into a mixed soil I use for all my potted plants. It is made up of about 35% native soil, 25% peat, 15% steer manure, 10% chicken manure, 5% mushroom compost, 5% homemade backyard compost, 5% vermiculite. This was all mixed last fall and left to cook over the winter.
The plan is to baby these till the weather warms up enough to not have to worry about them freezing. I hope to replant once before I plant out in mid-late may. They are set outside to soak up the sun that we have been getting (60’s-70’s days) and being covered at night as temps have still been dropping to high 20’s low 30’s. So far they are loving life and just pluggin right along. I will be post pics as I often as I can. More to come as they get more interesting!
