What concerns me is the following:
If they are all from this bulk seed company... I had a lot at their seeds. I'm not spotting anything similar to Presidents WW3 Auto unless I missed it somehow.
There is a gorilla x cookies strain but not the auto.

My seeds may not even be Autos

Yussis I'm getting more and more bleak. Swakhonde.
Will reserve judgement until after the grow, maybe we will be surprised still!

Any pics from the grow bud? Were you happy with the result?

Goddamit. Suckered by the good marketing. paid a pretty penny for my President seeds.

Keen to see how this goes.
Was tempted to try the bin laden but ended up going with the WW3... next time!
Good luck bru

Moving to new place in 2 weeks or so... then I have a bit more freedom... will still need to be semi discrete while I figure out my surroundings a bit though.

Still plan on only choosing one of these to take all the way to harvest

Little update on the bag seed pilot project...
Struggled to find a sunny spot that got enough sun at the flats while trying to keep then discrete.
Having to move them at lunch from one side of building to the other.
Seem to be doing nicely.
Fashioned a little camoflauge/wind break/ easier moving contraption with an old chopping board and some garden decorations I found laying around.
Made moving them easier and seems to be stopping the bugs from getting at them a little.

Welcome @StonerZN - growing DP hé?

Come to the farm at the next club visit and collect some seedz - Lol

Thanks for the welcome!

I have actually been shopping for some DP to try and grow, it just sorta seems to be the right thing to do when one lives in the city it is named after...

I have struggled to find commercial offerings though to be honest. The most legit looking one I have seen seems to be the Dutch Passion version. It seems odd to buy a Durban seed from a Dutch company though. 

I may just take you up on your seeds offering. 

There are clubs? And those clubs visit the farm? Sounds amazing!

Great news. 

Have a feeling traffic to that site just went up a little lol. Keen for my first purchase. What a kiff store!

Hey!

I believe from our dispatch team that those freebies should be autos either way, it's only a matter of whether it's the one auto or the other

Holy smokes. 

Thanks very much for the reply. Thanks also for the great service and speedy delivery! Legends. May have been my first order but certainly won't be the last!

Happy days. Happy days.
Got a free seed! Little confused about it though lol.
Seems to be either an Amnesia Haze Auto or an AK77V.
So either an auto or not an auto that could produce a small challenge trying to decide how to grow it
Both strains look mad though, keen either way

Caption this....
(and feel free to use expletives)

So the C4 is carrying on, nearing the end of the 3rd week since she first showed pistils.

Buds are building slowly and I have just started to introduce Topmax to the party. 
Flash and no flash main bud:

Don't stress about the shell. The plant knows how to grow itself. I wondered how long the lovely green shoots would last in Widget's tank lol. If the seedlings don't get enough light then they will grow tall and skinny, so do put them outside even if the weather isn't great. They should survive unless you are having torrential rains. I'm germinating in the Cape and temps go really low sometimes, way below 13 degrees, and then the plants just go dormant until they can metabolize again. I've grown plants in Cape Town winter with success and no fancy equipment.
 

Widgets intervention seems to have set growth back considerably. Now's 2 and 3 have barely grown in 4 days. No1 did not rise from the dead.
No4 is now the pack leader.
Planted another 4 backup seeds I had germinated over the weekend.
SB#1 wasn't planted deep enough and seems to have fallen over as it tried to unfurl its leaves. He/she is bottom left in the pic

@StonerZN Thank you so much for the interest, and welcome aboard. The wind is blowing hard tonight and those little babies better tough it out. I am taking a fittest will survive approach on the hill here. Are you keeping a journal that I can look at?

I have started messing around a little while I wait for a seed delivery and my designated start date to arrive, recording my experiments as I go. Am new to all things growing so lots to learn!

This is gonna be cool to follow!
I enjoy the indigenous natural vibes going on here.
In the earth as plants were intended. Local origin plants. And then a little science to spice it up and make the whole thing pop. Kudos.

Widget don't look happy to be sharing his tank.

My clever idea turns out not to have been so clever after all. Living (plant eating) animals and seedlings do not play well together RIP BS#1.

While fixing everything I noticed plants 3 and 4 had sorta got stuck in their seed shells.

I was nervous about cracking them completely off the seeds when I planted them... they didnt want to come off easily and I was scared of hurting them. Was this a bad move? They are both out now but looking somewhat brown.

Lucky bugger!
I went in thinking I wouldn't get any so wasnt disappointed.
Have you used the seeds yet?

Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Seedlings started leaning a little towards the window and the light. Weather hasn't been good so they cant go outside yet.
Had a duh moment when I realised I already have a perfect germination light in the house already
Seedlings are spending the weekend in Widgets tank



BS #1 has got a bit yellow around the edges. Think some soil got stuck under the little leaves.
He has grown quite a bit.

BS#2 broke ground last night and remains in 2nd position so far. Hoping for movement from 3 later and 4 by the morning if their patterns hold.

Sorry bro, I guess the special must have ended... It was at least a month and a half running when I found it on insta

Less than 24hrs after planting I have action.

Bag Seed #1 showing early signs of being the 1/6 that may make it all the way.

Checked the germination tray and the last of the 4 seeds from 1 particularly good batch of bought skyf has popped.

The 2 unpopped are from a diff batch. One more day for them and then bin.

Hoping maybe one of these seedling shows enough potential to spend the effort continuing the trial run beyond the one month mark.

Wow. Just wow.

Thanks for the help getting to this point everyone. 

Proper seeds are ordered and will be delivered soon. Following advice from @Prom I will start growing those at the end of this month.

In the meantime I decided to pop some bag seeds to do a trial run. The plan is to grow them for a month in some homemade canna soil I found at nursery not far from my flat according to a google search. I put their details in my Post about Durban supplies. I'll attach a pic .

Checked this morning and 3 had sprouted already. 1 had a taproot that was already around 1cm long. Maybe there is something to this full moon thing after all! 

Moved the 3 sprouts into a seedling tray and watered well. The other 3 are back on the modem. 

Little tray of joy

Settling in on the windowsill till the weather settles
