Leverhead's 2014 Grow

[Knucklehead]

I planted some pelleted seed last night. They were from 2001 so I have my fingers crossed. Mine were red, I wonder if they color code them?

 

[leverhead]

I really only need 6 plants, that's how many cells in a row of my starting trays. Not knowing what germination rate to expect and not wanting allot of empty cells, I put quite a few on peat/vermiculite to sprout to be moved to cells later. I don't really know the age of them, so I played it safe. Win some, lose some.

I'm sure they are, what the code is, I don't know.

 

[Knucklehead]

What difference does it make? Your going to harvest about 250,000 pelleted seed in three months anyway.

 

[leverhead]

That will be some very big seed pods! I still can't get spaghetti to even sprout.

Goat seeds wont germinate eater.

Goat seeds wont germinate eater.

LOL! How deep did you plant them?

 

[Brown Thumb]

That all matters on long his pick fork is.

After seeing some of the other growers plans, I guess it's the year of the seed. This is my list of what I think will get planted, 120 varieties. Most are growing well, those that aren't are also being grown elsewhere. Bud bags are the next project.

Good Lord MAN, You got the seed bug too!

 

[Jitterbugdude]

Hey Leverhead, You know you can go to a doctor and he can treat your for your addiction!...

 

[ne3go]

Are you sure its enough?

 

[Mad Oshea]

Are they in a green house? And are You using any lites? They look good.

 

[Markw]

Very nice list there Leverhead, as you say it is the year of the seed. I hope the year goes well for you, This growing tobacco is very additive !!!!!

Hey Leverhead, You know you can go to a doctor and he can treat your for your addiction!...

I thought that I was practicing safe gardening. I'm going to let it run for the season and get treatment in the fall.

Are you sure its enough?

I tried to keep it to the bare minimum.

Are they in a green house? And are You using any lites? They look good.

Just Sunlight and I cover them at night, on cold nights I bring them inside. Part time Winters are nice.

Very nice list there Leverhead, as you say it is the year of the seed. I hope the year goes well for you, This growing tobacco is very additive !!!!!

Thank you! If all goes well, this should finish up what Knucks got started last year. Lots of tags, bud bags and notes! I think the real work will come next winter. If I clean 5 varieties a day, it will take me a month to get through it all.

 

[Boboro]

Its not realy a problem less it takes up more than 3/4s of yer free time.

 

[rainmax]

We should go for Guinness record next year. Group of individuals growing 2000 varieties+ for the first time in the history in five continents,....

lever head good luck and a lot of sun for you too.

 

[DGBAMA]

Wow what a list. Going to be another fun grow to follow.

I wouldn't dare put mine outside yet.

 

[Nikfits]

That is a nice sizable list. What is the largest grow as far as the number of varieties?
For me, picking out just so many in variety just wasn't easy. I wonder what this one will taste like and that one. Oh, this one sounds like a winner. I wish I had that one... ETC... ROFL. Not easy.

Good luck with your grow.

My wife has always been good about telling me when things get to be too much.

We should go for Guinness record next year. Group of individuals growing 2000 varieties+ for the first time in the history in five continents,....

lever head good luck and a lot of sun for you too.

I doubt that I could/would do this 2 years in a row, I'll cheer from the sidelines. My technical assistant said today that the forecast for the season is good.

Wow what a list. Going to be another fun grow to follow.

I wouldn't dare put mine outside yet.

I bring them in when Winter comes to town, but most of the time they're out now.
