So based off of the explosive growth I've seen in the last few day, I think I'll take some clones this weekend.
I'm anxious to get things moving in the flower room. I don't plan on keeping the ww x bb plants, but I will clone them in case I get lucky on phenos.
I should also have a tester pack coming to me soon, I'll provide the details when/if I get them. If they don't come I'll be rooting through my seed collection to decide what I'll pop next
My goal is to aquire 5-7 exceptional mothers so I have some constant variety in my sog.
I'm also waiting on my order of candida CD 1 to arrive. It is a 10:1 cbd to THC ratio strain. For those who don't know, I have a son in the autism spectrum and I plan on making either edibles, topicals, or tinctures for him. For more details on this check out my thread in TnT.
Also @RainDan which vero fixture do you suggest for a 3x5 area?
I guess that's about it for now, here is a picture of how the plants looked this morning after watering.
Cheers

The wife and I were talking, and I'm going to be moving my grow space to the basement. Figures, right after I get everything set up upstairs. That being said, she brought up valid points as to why the area I'm using could be a security issue. Being in a not so canna friendly state, I'd rather not take the chance and opening that kind of headache.
So after some thinking and planning, I came up with a relatively sound idea for my new space. Mind you my basement is a glorified cellar.
My veg and clone area is going to be a 3x4x4 space, flower will be a 4d x 5w x 4h. Which is more space than I currently have. Still going to run sog. It won't be so perpetual to start as I'm going to only build the veg area right now. I'll hang my hps and my mars and flower out what I have going now. I plan on building the flower area after my harvest, seeing as how I need to save some cash for supplies.
I will still take clones, I have a seperate area I'll be able to keep a few small clones.
So it looks like I'll be black Friday shopping for some building supplies, and getting to do some carpentry as well.
Pictures to come once everything is all said and done, I hope everyone has a fantastic thanksgiving.

Are you handy? I built my own cob led for my first grow. Not that hard, plus you will learn a lot along the way.

Yeah, I'm pretty much a jack of all trades. That being said, plug and play suits me more, the amount of spare time I have is fairly non-existent.

I feel ya, just figured with your DIY grow area you may spare 1h to assemble a light.
Imho, quantum boards are the best plug and play atm due to them using the lm561c s6 bin diode. If i knew this before building cobs, i would have built one of those from scratch.
I ain't here to sell you anything, and tbh i have a beef with HLG for doing no R&D, but they are king shit with those stupid boards as best grow light to buy for plug and play till someone dethrones them.

See now if it only takes roughly an hour to build, them that's fine.
I was under the assumption it took a fair bit longer.

Oh hell nah, super simple and quick. Only ac/dc i knew before this had guitars. People have stuck these lm561c strips on cookie baking sheets for heatsinks and built an equivalent wattage light to a quantum board in like less than half an hour for a bit cheaper while still getting 1000+ppfd in centre. Lm561c strips, boards, plates, bars, diodes can be had for cheap from alibaba/china.
Even my cobs that i built as a noob to electronics took me like 40min and i used some aluminum inground pool track that i had laying around for a frame.
Check out led gardener for lm561c strip light build or the diy lm561c strip thread on here. Or even DIY a quantum board if you dont have 30min to screw in a few strips.
I will still give HLG rep for crunching the numbers on these midpower led as being the shit for growing.

Alrighty, so I've been incredibly busy. Upstairs grow officially torn down, and basement grow up and running.
Decided to throw the ww x bb in flower since I wasn't planning on keeping them around. I up potted them to 1g pots so they will yield a little better.
Total tear down and build time ran me at about 10hrs.
I also germinated 5 purple trainwreck x pck, waiting on them to break ground.
That's about it, pics will come in a few days.

Hello fine folks of riu!
Just thought I'd give an update since it's been about a week.
Due to 70+ hr weeks for the foreseeable future at work, and the craziness that is my home life, this will no longer be a traditional sog.
Everything is now 12/12 from seed, and due to such, this first run will be a seed run. Kinda last minute but it's alright.
As opposed to a traditional seed run, I'll be culling all males and trying out tiresias mist. I've done plenty of chucking, but never done a fem seed run. Should be fun, interesting, and for me, a learning experience.
In the veg cab I have three just cracked BKRs from @HighLowGrow waiting to break ground. No pics of that yet.
In flower I've got everything listed in the first post, still waiting on sex. Also have the 3 purple trainwreck x pck seedlings that actually broke ground. They are just barely above ground.
That's about it for now.
So until next time,
Keystone
