Nice nice

That last sugar leaf at the bottom left is blowing my mind.

So, here's what I have going in veg right now, growing under the Viparspectra xs1000. The clones on the left at GG4 and Wedding Cake. The other 4 are Runtz (back-right), Dosido (front-right), Super Lemon Haze (center-rear), and Slurricane (center-front).

Cool stuff man I'll be watching great operation you have going. I'll be following along with you and be getting the same light so it will be fun to compare. There are alot of great led companies out there so it will be fun to see how well these grow bud. Wish you luck!

Thanks! So far I'm quite happy with the light. The color spectrum is a bit warmer than the HLG QB288 it's replacing, but the plants seem pretty happy under it.

I also just put these rooted Dosido cuts in party cups today:

I put together a little 4-cell DIY bubble cloner a a while back and have been loving it. It's just a couple of kitty litter bottles cut apart then taped back together, with 2" holes drilled in the top. I just use a magic eraser with a slit to hold the cuts. My air pump has a splitter, so I can run two of these at once for a total of 8-cuts, but I really never need that many. I use a heat mat on the bottom to keep the water warm, and pool shock every 4 days or so to keep it all sparkly clean. Love the roots I get, and no humidity dome needed:

Here's another project I have going now.. Kinda hard to tell, but this is a reversed female clone with male flowers about to pop open.



I'm looking forward to making some crosses with this one. Here's what she looks like in bloom:

Just a quick update on what I have vegging under the Viparspectra in prep to move to flower in a few weeks:

Here's a peek at what I have flowering..



Wedding Cake:

I'm getting close to finishing the current run. Already chopped half of the plants that were earlier finishers, so just waiting for these two Wedding Cake plants to finish up so I can chop them..

OK, so I'm finally ready to get this grow journal started with the new cycle. I had these two mother plants, Runtz and Dosido, which were just getting too big for my veg tent, so decided to just flower them. Usually I flower 4 plants in a 4x4 tent, but since these are so lanky and already fill the space, I'm just going to flower these two. I just transplanted them yesterday, cleaned out the tent, and LST's the plants to get ready for flower. I'll let them acclimate to their new conditions for a day or two, do a bit of pruning, then throw a net over them and veg for a couple more days, then flip to 12/12. Runtz is on the left, Dosido on the right. They look a bit beat up from the transplant and lst abuse, but they will bounce back in a day or two..

Looking forward to the picture after pruning.

No pruning yet, but I did throw a net over the canopy.

So, I got a bit of good-news/bad-news. I'm gonna discontinue this thread, because I'm going to take the Viparspectra light out of this tent. I haven't had any issues with the light, but I just got a new small 2x2 tent, which I'm going to use for an pollen-chucking project, and the xs1000 will light up that new tent perfectly. The new tent will be here in a week or son, so I'll open a new thread for that, when it's set-up.
