Stardust 13 Grow Log

[steve_dubau]

I soaked 10 seeds in distilled water for 48 hours, then planted them Dec. 1st point up ½” deep in 4” pots of pre-watered Scotts Potting Soil for Seed Starting.

4 days later, all 10 have broken ground. (100% Germination)

First watering was done with plain tap water. 2nd and 3rd watering was done with Alaska Sprayable All Purpose Plant Food 9-4-4 at the rate of ½ tsp per gallon of plain old tap water.

Here we are at day 12. This strain has a peculiar leaf structure , but all are healthy and growing at a phenomenal rate!

I've returned from my 7 day business trip and boy what a surprise! My wife has done an excellent job of keeping them all healthy, bless her heart! (Love ya babe!)

While I was gone, my wife just continued to water them with Alaska Sprayable All Purpose Plant Food 9-4-4 at the rate of ½ tsp per gallon of plain old tap water. Can’t get much easier than that…

They were a little root bound by the time I got back, so I transplanted all to 6” pots. For this grow I am using Miracle-Gro Potting Mix with no additional Perlite added. I used 20 % Perlite on my last grow and I found myself watering to frequently.

These plants all have a pleasant skunky odor.

I can't believe how vigorous this strain is… They seem to love the Alaska Sprayable All Purpose Plant Food 9-4-4. I’m still feeding them at every watering with ½ tsp per gallon of water. I plan on using 1 tsp per gallon once they reach 8" in height.

At day 25, all have reached at least 8" in height. I've cut the lights back to 12/12 and will continue feeding with Alaska nutes.

Out of 10 plants, I only ended up with 3 females. I'll be doing some LST to get more branches to the top of the canopy.

I transplanted the 3 root bound females to 10" containers and watered with 1 tsp Alaska per gallon of water.

I'll be saving 1 or 2 males for pollen collection.

Week 6

These girls just continue to thrive with Miracle Grow Potting Soil and Alaska 9-4-4.

I’m continuing to feed 2 tsp Alaska per gallon of water every time I water…

With training, I’ve been able to keep them to 15” or less.

[steve_dubau]

These girls have sure been easy to train.

Thanks for reposting your grow, Steve. Much appreciated! Now, if we could only get Mal to come back and post his cabinet building plans, once again. Wishing gets me nowhere, but... Everybody knows this is nowhere..... Just thinking out in print!

Thanks Steve.
