Grow notes so far.
I figure I need to get a few ounces out of the clones just to be safe stash-wise, but the one in the big pot is the one I am betting on to have good full tops. The 4 skunk seeds are for the contest and I am considering as "extra" as well. The NL will be my baby for that group and will be manifolded, cloned, etc.
I posted it on the contest page, but the four skunk seedlings will not be topped, LST'd or anything. I am testing 4 different nutes trying to decide which one to stick with and which will feed my tomatoes. They are just in the 2 gallon pots because I only plan to give them 2-3 veg feedings - enough to let them "experience" each different set of nutes and respond to them, then flipping so they don't get rootbound by the end. I am looking for 4 big tops, and a lot of bud-trimmer candidates.
My GDP clone should have been repotted when I first thought "wow, should I re-pot this?" But the tops are browning and I think that would do more harm than good now. Live and learn. The pot is hard as a rock and it drinks about 3/4 gallon every 2 days. Because of this I think I have screwed up the nutes and their timing. Again, live and learn. So when the lights come on I'm flushing her then blasting her with a 90%-100% feed to make sure that the junk to fix any deficiencies is there - knowing that if she doesn't like it she'll be dry in 2 days and I can flush her again. I am also snipping all the big fan leaves so they aren't shading the other plants.
With 2 or 3 gallon pots I can easily fit 4 in my veg room and 4 in the flower room. If I drop 2 seeds every month, I should eventually be harvesting 2 plants every month or so. Only issue might be a crowded flower room waiting on longer flowering plants to ripen.
But I could also fit two 5 gallon pots and drop one seed a month. Only issue there is a seed not popping set-back, but that only takes a week to see and fix. I'll get this figured.
