Yeah Ive got 3 clones and 3 fems from seed about 1.5 ft tall, 5-6 nodes at most, and a lot of stretching from being hidden/stealthed within a city. My 3 clones were taken during flower so they are all messed up but will correct soon and become monsters. Im pretty sure the Dinafem genetics are decent enough and they arent too stressed... they should be fine. Its my first OD attempt ever, first soil, and first organic attempt. Just went with Foxfarm Ocean Forest ready-to-use organic stuff because I didnt have time to make my own super soil mixture and let it sit for months while waiting for micro-life to flurish. I can provide pictures if you are curious enough =P they are soon to be transplanted when I obtain the correct buckets.

Yah i had three from three tude orders
Why not keep at least one? A bad storm knocking out power for a couple days will kill any hydro setup you know that ^_^. seeds are always my backup plan. I even have a dif container for fem/non femmed lol

I do too ^_^ that was kinda my point lol. His reasoning for staying soil is he can leave his plants for a week and they are fine, yet every time i go into his room he has fully dead leaves hanging from the plant.

I love hydro. Easy to read ppm/ph. Easy to see roots. No bugs or bullshit in the soil. I'm pounding sand right now trying to get an outdoor attempt. It's harder to grow outside that's for sure.

Open outdoors or greenhouse

Open outdoors. Plants aren't branching off or growing that fast at all. 100% organic started under CFLs and moved outside after 2-3 weeks of actual veg. Gorgeous acap gold xD

Biggest thing i have learned from this grow is 1 plant per bucket, Yes it does work to do all the same strain in a bucket, but rez changes and what not get harder when you have to worry about 3+ plants rather than 1. As far as more than one strain in a bucket i would just say dont do it. That is what i did with my Acapulco Gold, Tangerine Dream, White widow. The widow pretty much yeilded nothing (too far from the lights to make a diff, and it wanted very high levels of nutes, whereas the ag/td were on the lower side of the scale. If it is all possible i would highly recommend doing 1 plant per container. My next grow is going to be a 12 plant SOG in folgers jars.

Do you have any examples of what your next grow is going to be setup like I would like to know how your doing a sog, and also Thats great advice i appreciate that! I'm thinking about doing ebb and flow bucket system like four plants
