Awesome, Grant, just awesome! :cool:

What varieties are the ones with the black/different coloured leaves in the picture JR??

One strain is the Naga Purple and the other I received from Brasil, but so far it is unknown????

looking great Grant. Good luck for this season.
Just out of interest what sort of heating do you use in your boxes? Heat cables or do you just use heat mats for the seeds then remove when you put the cups in?

JungleRain · Jul 6, 2011

Hi Candice,First they go into the heated germination trays (heatmats) which are set at (27c), when the seeds sprout usually after 1 to 2 weeks, I put them into the propagation boxes for upto 2 to 4 weeks fluro grow lights(25c)then they go under the HPS 1 x 400W & 2 x 600W (27c - 29c)next I move them to the Sunroom/porch for a couple of weeks (22c - 25c, then into a small greenhouse before being acclimatized in pots outside....and finally into the ground or their final pot sizes (usually 300mm)

Just a quick update;

I've repotted 126 plants and still need to do another 100.

they should've been repotted 2 weeks ago as they were really root bound.

Here's what I've done so far, the rest I'll finish tomorrow..

WOW! that's impressive Grant! that purple naga is the the coolest looking seedling i've seen!

gasificada · Jul 24, 2011

They are really coming along, Grant! :dance:

You're my grow hero! :party:

I've got 10 plants started in june, half have only just started growing their first set of leaves, even my older april plants aren't much bigger than yours.

When do you expect to repot them and send them outside (what weather, temp, month?). Where's the best place to get 300mm pots as that's the size I use.

MiLK_MaN · Jul 24, 2011

Only 1000 seedlings huh? So what do you plan on doing with them all late August? You better hope we have a warmer September than we had last year, I couldn't plant out until mid October with the crappy cold weather we ended up getting!

Spicegeist · Jul 24, 2011

Looking great. So many varieties, such care and hard work, well done!

megamoo · Jul 24, 2011

I have found alot at recycling depos and garage sales the 300 mm are my final size for the potted plants,

I also have some in 500mm pots but only about 20 or so
