Void & Querkle

[Small Potatoes]

Greetings everyone. I must say I am excited about this run of seeds. Not only is this going to be my 2008 TGA Indoor Contest entry, it is also going to be showing you two strains I have been dying to run for a few months now.

Querkle (Urkle x Space Queen) has been impressing me ever since I heard about it. Then I saw bongorilla's pics and I knew I had to grow this

Next up is Void (Apollo 13 x Querkle). I read an article subcool wrote in Skunk magazine sometime back in October or November of 2007 where he was describing Void and Apollo 13. Everytime I hear Sub talk about his Apollo 13 cut, I start drooling. Subcool also wrote an article in the latest issue of Skunk where he was discussing how his Void grown from seed differed from the same Void grown from a clone. He mentioned that maybe this one needed time to reach it's full potential. I hope you can check this thread out as it goes along, Sub, as I want to make sure I will be keeping the best one or two as future mothers .

So I must say I am excited. I will be growing all of these in Coco Coir (NOT SUNLEAVES COIR ), and I will be using the Botanicare Triflex line of nutrients. I will be starting the little seedlings under fluorescent lights and then moving them under a 400W Metal Halide (Hortilux Blue) for a propper vegging. The flowering phase will see these plants grown under two 1000W HPS (Hortilux) bulbs on light movers. If anyone has ANY questions, please feel free to ask. Discussion leads to learning, and I am all about sharing what little I know, hehe, and I'm even more about learning new tricks and becoming a better grower.

Yall know what comes next. The space below is reserved for links as this thread grows. Make sure you visit this first post regularly as it will make your browsing life easier
