I got my package today! :weed: Kalashnikova, Lemon skunk, kings kush, AMS, super sour og, super bud, exodus cheese, jack the ripper and jilly bean. :) Can't wait to start these next go around. After looking at them I have been thinking about making most of them mothers and cutting clones off of them. Going to be trying a perpetual of 4 plants every 2 months. I figure I want to this because if one comes out super dank I am going to be disappointed that I can't grow that same pheno. Any ideas on this??

Those are some fine genetics, BG, should keep you busy (and blazed) for a long time to come.

I always take cuttings from every new strain I grow...but keeping them around for longer than a few months isn't easy unless you have some space for them. That's why I built the wardrobe box cab. If you like to try new strains regularly, you're probly gonna have to make the decision to stop growing a strain or two at some point. Of course, you can still grow successive rounds of a strain without keeping one as a "mother"...but again, seems like good planning is essential.

I'd be interested in hearing/seeing how you end up doing the perpetual, since it's what I was intending to do as well. Definitely do-able, but I suspect it'll be a little tougher when you introduce new strains, since it's hard to predict flowering times (and final plant heights) with unknown entities, and the breeders' suggestions aren't always accurate. I would recommend doing research on each one here on riu (and other mj forums) before you start it. I'd trust the first-hand experience of other growers here more than I'd take the breeders' recommendations.

Thanks Xebeche. I have been planning and writing suggestions down everyday to try and get this perpetual perfect. I've already taken look at many others growing some of the same strains and have been noticing how they take to different methods. Once I move I think I am going to have 2 rooms big enough for about 8 plants. I figure I'll start out around 4 plants to mother and start cutting. ( Keep in mind that my first couple harvest will be getting in tune with different strains) Once I get use to these different strains and how long they take is when it should really take off. Take note now, that a year from now I should be having this going somewhat easier then now :) I know how much work it is going to take but it is something I love and now will NEVER stop. Thanks for all the advice and believe me you will be the first to know how it pans out

Nice grow you got going Bird! Did you purchase the seeds off attitude?

The plant I have growing now is just a dank bag seed I've collected over the years. The others, yes I did order from attitude.

I will be watering her today with some pure rain water. Probably going to flush a little since it is in week 5 of flower. If I'm correct its 2 times the water to pot size?? Correct me if i'm wrong. Pics coming later today :)

so when you imply "using rain water". Do you just water them with rain water every time? What's the pH of it?

So I was going to give her some regular water today but after reading a little more I feel comfortable just giving her these light feedings every watering. I am not too scared anymore about salt build ups as I haven't been giving her a ton of nutes. I will be updating again on Friday. But enough talking and here are the pics. Comments, advice, suggestions or just plain ol' criticism will work for me!

edit: my c02 bottles are now different. I'll try and post pictures tonight of the hoses I now have connected to those bottles.

At first I used distilled water. But now it is rain water. I simply mix my nutrients in with the rain water and every 3 or 4 days I water. When I say just the rain water it means that exactly. No nutrients just plain rain water. The ph is 5.8

I must have missed it, what kind of CO2 setup are you using? Might need to put a homemade system in myself. Seem to be running in the low 80's daily now.
