You're doing a really wonderful job, GroErr! Beautiful. I've moved up to 7 and 15 gal pots, but I throw a few fillers in too. Mine seldom turn out quite as well as yours!

Hey thanks Cindy, been doing the COB thing recently and pretty happy with the results :) I've been sticking to smaller pots lately, mainly for variety. The big pots are coming out soon, always run a couple of outdoor in 10's or 15's :)

Some jars too...it can take time to happen upon the right ones,
and they can be expensive. I had to special order my first case
of half gallon Mason jars. They carry them at the local hardware
store now.

Carry on.

I like those jars with the plastic seal on the lid but just grabbed another case of regular 1L (1/4 gal) mason jars. Those other one's are nice but the dollar store doesn't always have them, they get expensive grabbing them anywhere else. That last round used up everything I had left ;)

I use 2-3 gallon trash containers drilled for drainage and training. I use this size to have more variety by keeping plants smaller. Also makes them easy to move or remove for watering etc. Just my way in 12 sq feet perpetual tent. Use mostly COBs with some quality led panels in white or r/w if needed. COBs and quantum boards are eating conventional grow lights for lunch!

Yeah liking those small containers, the fabric pots allow for big plants in them without any worries about root binding. I have a couple of 5gal's coming in for the Panama's, they're getting branchy and lanky already and were just up-potted from 1gal's. The other reason I've been running the smaller containers has been breeding, the smaller containers allow me to run more phenos :)

I do like a large plant once in a while though, going to see about running the Blue Ripper F2/P3 and Blue Harley P1 in 7 gal's a couple of rounds out. I think those phenos can pull 1/2 lb. in that size pot :shock:

No complaints here on the COBs, awesome quality and production, and they fit well into my relatively small space. Those Quantum boards are looking good from what I've seen so far. Early on but they look like they can produce as well, maybe a bit better. I think the ultimate space for those Quantum's will be cabinets and smaller tents, almost no overhead and low heat, good combo for that type of environment. That said, in a larger room with high ceilings they could be an issue maintaining high enough temps and trying to manage humidity with little heat. COBs running hard like 2100ma or higher, or CMH would likely be easier to manage in larger spaces. A combo of those lighting techs would work well too :)

Here's the Harlequin 2gal Day 64 (this is a 52-55 day pheno under COBs), left it an extra week or so for the seeds to mature. Little gal she's not a big producer, but damn she tastes good and makes nice babies :) That was her only role in this run, F1 Blue Harley seeds, a ton of them :) This one (and the Blue Ripper coming up) were open pollinated in the breeding tent, then moved to the flower room to finish up. Left it so long some of the popcorn buds turned brown with almost no plant material left, only seeds :)

Cheers, get popping those beanies ;) The boyz are drooping out in the dark in the breeding tent waiting for me to pluck their flowers. Probably collect it tomorrow, still harvesting the girls :)

The last one out from that cycle, small 2gal seeded Blue Ripper F2/P5. Open pollinated, it's nothing but seeds, even the popcorn buds :)

Back crossed to the original F1 male. Both male & female have very strong terps towards the Blueberry side, like a perfume level smell. Should be some tasty and vigorous phenos in this batch. Seed fairy should be flying in 3-4 weeks :cool:

Sativa will take forever to show sex. The males are always last!

You can force them by changing the light schedule. Might be worth it.

They sure do! Two are looking like fems and that's all I have room for so flowering those out, one smells alright, neither has a great structure but we'll see how they go. I have the space available so I'll just sex and clone the rest I want to flower out later in the 1gal pots. If they keep being shy about showing I'll flip them in there, nothing else coming up in veg for a bit.

Have one looking like a male that I'm liking in structure and smell but it's a bit large to flower in the 2x2x4' tent, will likely clone it and flower it out later. Cheers.

Edit: That Blue Ripper above has a few hundred seeds in it, they were falling out while I was rough trimming to dry :hump:

Full room again, they should fill 3.5' x 8' when they're done stretching. Have another 200w dimmable COBs coming in a week or so to get closer to 30w/sq.ft. The 6x 3gal are in the stretch after 7 days, Day 0 for the 2x Panama 5gal gals at the back. Lanky Panama's are about the same height as the 3gal's... for now - lol Trellised those 2 for support and to give me something to tie them down if needed later.

Lights were set back to 11.5/12.5 for this round, continuing to reduce by 1/2 hour to see the effects. Didn't really see any difference in production going down from 12.5/11.5 to 12/12 last round.

Shit. Amtrak should be as consistent as your grows, brother.

Cheers ttystikk, the COBs are making it so much easier to maintain a consistent environment, it's making a big difference. We're just at the stage where it's warming up a bit here, furnace isn't coming on as much so the environment changes. A simple adjustment on my variable controllers for inbound and exhaust is all it took to keep the steady 78-80F/50-55% RH in check.
