Alternate update! New mothers from seed at a friends house. Hoping for a female out of the Chernobyl's. The Island Sweet Skunk and Hawaiian Snow are females.

---

Two Chernobyl seedlings. Healthy as shit. These seeds were above soil in under 24 hours of planting. Something is seriously wrong with that. Looks as if we have two different phenotypes. One seems to have larger leaves and tighter internodes. While they may be negligible differences later on, they may also very well not be. The double edged sword with Subcool's genetics is the large margin for variables with his strains. There's no doubt you're getting what you paid for, and no matter what it will be unbelievably dank, but there are specific "keeper" phenos which are definitely a wild-card treat if you get one. I, for one, consider this a good thing:


---

Hawaiian Snow. Boy am I pumped about this one. Nothing says "DANK" like a specific strain that garners a subculture following of weed-heads who want to smoke nothing but it, for years. Hawaiian Snow is one of those strains. True sativa-heads world wide will perk up when you mention this frosty delight:


Island Sweet Skunk. What can I say? I fell in love with this strain a few years back while living in the Seattle/Tacoma area. A lot of local growers there are all about Next Generation genetics. Around this time I was introduced to a good majority of the Vancouver Island legends. I remember my nostrils burning the first time I stuck my nose in to a big bag of super dank Romulan. Nothing could have prepared me for the first time I was handed a gigantic jar of freshly cropped Island Sweet Skunk. At the time, the grower was calling it Sweet Island Skunk, but I've since then stood corrected. Man oh man. Pine comes to mind. Coconuts and fruit. Sandlewood. Lush ferns. Sour armpit musk. This one is a huge eyebrow-perker, and anyone lucky enough to catch a whiff can't help but smile. After years of smoking (well into the double digits, men :D), I've found this strain is one of the most flavorful smokes in the world. This is just one that everyone should try. Resembles Salmon Creek BB a bit, but much much more musky and sour. A winner of many awards for many reasons, I present to you, Next Generation's Island Sweet Skunk.


And one of the two Jilly Bean clones in a DWC Clonebox. The other, other, two Jillybean plants are at my house sitting in soil. I will upload pics of them when I get some good growth on them. Check out the red patterning on the stems. These were given to us by a trusted source who couldn't help but smile when she reassured us that we were in for a real treat with this cut. Gotta love old ladies that know how to grow dank:


I'll be back with my pics on my end of the block here in a few when things get bigger :)

From earlier today. Couldn't resist. Yeah, that shit is super frosted. It's only going to get better by the day.

looking really good :)

Thanks! Smells great too. Fruitier than any Blue Dream I've ever smoked, and I consider myself a big fan. This may fade later while the hazey undertones become more pronounced, but as of now it smells like a big sack of lifesaver gummies. Not to mention, I do not run carbon filters. I, for one, enjoy walking around in the rewarding odor of my endeavors. It's not like my whole house stinks or anything, but you definitely know what's going on when you walk in the room (Outside of the tent) based on smell alone. And boy is it delicious :)

Hella sub'd bro. Thought about doing DWC for the longest time, then under current; it's definitely something I'll keep in mind for a while. All good shit, can't wait for the 6 week explosion!

is that the ssh? or the blue dream again?:weed:

That's the blue dream. I moved the SSH and JTR about two weeks ago. I'm pretty anal about things and due to some PH issues I managed to put them in nutrient lockout when my PH rose on me a point for about two days without my noticing. By the time everything was fixed, they had chosen to sit at a stand-still while everyone else got back on the ball. I gave them no time to limbo and pulled them out. Until they manage to reveg and bounce back to life this summer, I probably won't put up any pictures of them. It's a bitch keeping everything on schedule, and sometimes you have to cut the fat. Super Silver Haze isn't a tough plant to grow or anything, I just had a clone and didn't pay attention when it was most vulnerable. I can veg a plant for years, but flowering, I am still dialing in. Being a perfectionist doesn't help either. The first sight of anything wrong and I'm ready to scrap everything. It's all good though, I have another Super Haze strain going soon. Super Lemon Haze by GH:



I'd change the thread title if I could, but considering all things are perpetual, I'm just gonna keep hacking away in here.

Day 30 as of today. Planning for 60-70.




There's A LOT more growing in my tent than I am leading on right now :) I'm just waiting for things to get pretty for the camera. The four 707 Headband clones have exploded upwards about two feet in under a week of 12/12. Nothing like lollypopping in soil for some head stash chronic



On top of that, expect to see a lot of delicious things coming from another grow in conjunction with mine really soon.

Sorry to hear about your uc. Someone suggested that it was because you were using that submersible? I'm not sure how pump type would have any bearing on the performance of your seals. I would think increasing the pressure with a stronger pump would just make the leaky seals leak harder.

It was definitely due to water pressure in the buckets, but that was from accumulated weight and not the pump itself. An inline pump is always the best route. When rebuilding, that is what I'll go with. They also have submersible with floating on/off switches, so you could almost create a flood and stop system utilizing a reservoir that fills faster than it can drain. We ordered Uniseals and Tough Tubs and will be setting up a prototype at my friends house. He has much more area to work with, making it a more apropos environment for a true and thorough trial and error process.

Once again, I'm thinking of cannibalizing an aspect of UC and adding it to my system without actually running a true UC. Just as I'm neither running true Aero or DWC, but a bastard son of both. I've been looking for a way to double up the system I have now by piggy-backing a sister tub just like the one i'm running now. The UC plumbing has given me the idea to run a much lower water level UC that would require less of a demanding flow because I'm thinking of replacing the back flood gravity effect with an aero recirculating pump of equal power. The outer inline will simply be connecting the network of reservoirs and circulating the water quite gently and at a lower level... In my return bin, I will install a second submersible that will pump the water back into the bins via upper aero sprayer plumbing. The greater root hang from the lower water level will be perfect for the aero pipes spraying and dripping the return water right back into the res that is constantly flowing from the outer pump. Risky running a dual pump system, but since I have a big chiller I'll be pumping it all through, it should work. Since I'm assisting the UC with an Aero spray return pump, it doesn't have to work as hard nor support the weight of more water.

What do you think? See? I've been thinking about ways of adding, not changing completely over to it. That would essentially make it an Aero-DWC-UC combo. Such massive oxygen and circulation could exceed any other method of growing. I look forward to building it.

Edit:
Another thing I was thinking last night is that I've noticed an improvement in plant performance since I installed the chiller (which requires a second pump in my res circulating the water through the chiller constantly). Now aside from the obvious benefit of keeping the water cool, I think I've been running a crude UC system all this time without even knowing it. The added circulation of the chiller back flow creates a little waterfall in the corner as the drive pump sucks the water from the opposite end of the tub. This action is independent of the aero sprayer cycle and running constantly. Now I understand, due to the introduction of UC, that the added circulation was creating a mild undercurrent effect by further circulating the massive dissolved oxygen as it was chilling the water. Very cool (and educational). I just need to expand on it by adding true lower UC plumbing (or a milder version of it to be assisted by an aero return as I described above). Thanks for the tip. It's the perfect method for connecting my tubs I was looking for.

So in essence, I will be expanding on my chiller line by it running through lower connective pvc plumbing. I could use a smaller pipe for this lower-demand flow as well since I just need it as more of a connective 'slow flow' that will be assisted by the constant spraying and dripping of the aero return water.
