All 3 plants appear healthy, they spend 12 hrs under 400w hps during the day then back under 6500K T12's at night. Tap water only, no nutes yet.

All the 17 plants are doing well, Each plant got 1 cup of RO water Monday and will give each plant another cup of RO water Thursday or Friday.

Mixed a new batch of soil.
I'll be using this new soil and an older batch of soil that I made in mid February in my larger pots when the time comes.
Wish I started this batch sooner.

Pictures show everything used.
The base is a soil that has been amended countless times over the past four years.
I'll go by gallons to estimate things, looks like about 25 gallons of soil to be amended.
I'll have a better idea when I put it in a barrel and bags for storage. I'm guessing about 40-45 gallons in the end.

Approx 25 gallons of used soil that was leached of any salt build.
I put perlite in the bottom of 3 gallon pots then add the old soil and run water through it. More than 3 times the amount, how much IDK. I use tap from the hose to do it.

I usually use happy frog 6-4-4 but was almost out so I used some DTE Bio fish and crab meal this time in addition to the HF, I hope they like it.

1st things I added:

2 cups Happy frog 6-4-4.
1 cup DTE Bio Fish
1/2 cup DTE Crab Meal
1 1/2 cups Kelp Meal

3/4 cup Lime
2 cups gypsum
1 1/4 cup Azomite
1 1/2 cup Greensand
These were mixed into the soil 1st.

Next I added:
About 5 gallons of sphagnum peat moss and about 2 1/2 gallons of EWC.
After mixing those in I added some additional perlite and some vermiculite.
Total perlite added when counting the perlite I added to the bottom of the pots to leach the soil is about 9 gallons.
Last thing added was about 1 1/2 gallons of vermiculite.

Day 15 since sprout.

Update ...

Under the main quantum rig ( Warp Core ) running 2 QB96s @320w and QB 4000k @120w .
These are all dimmer controlled so power stage will vary. I also have a dual QB 288 3000k 260w on standby to swap in ...... if needed.

The Sunblaster UV may or may not be used but there if wanted to.



SUPAFLY

Here is the hempy SUPAFLY moving along .... still using a bit of Optic Foliar Overdrive . But added
Thrive alive Red to bottom water Rez for the added B vitamins. Still running @5.8 tap .

To deal with any algae on top i “ mist “ H2O2 lightly and it stems it.



King Kong Poison #4

These two are purring along and as stated before will feed from the charged mix I used.
Simple .... straight tap with a minor calmag bump. I also began preventative misting of Capitan Jacks Bug Brew for any pests. Better be safe than sorry . And also have a DIY alcohol / soap spray that kills any little shits on contact and evaporates cleanly. I never use forbid or any other chemical shit , I know all about them and actually work with those products ( pyrethrum, merit 75 , Telstar , intrepid , etc. ) and will absolutely not use any of that shit .

Simple is better.

One thing I noticed is a definite indica leaf. So I am hoping for a less leggy plant.




Alien Cookies

Here is the Alien Cookies Hempy in the 3:1 perlite / vermiculite mix.
Same FEED mix as other Hempy and this is a very happy girl.

So a new week .
The plants like this new base soil and they look so good .

Day 17? Sure.

Weekly Cupdate: Plants took to the RDWC with minimal burn. I knew it would be close because the nutrient soup is up to the level required for the plants starting flower... but it looks like they are doing well now.

Roots getting bigger taking the dome off

#125.
I figure just posting a pic when they get fed will happen at least once a week, so that should keep me up to date on the pic requirement.
Each got 1qt of "seedling" feed per the individual nute chart, at 50% strength, pH to 6.5 - I don't deviate from 6.5. If the runoff of a plant gets whacky I flush it, I don't try to use a higher or lower pH to even it out.
A sample plant

Tonight they get a power foliar feeding.
Looking to create more nodes since I am behind I'll catch up with a lil help .

Topped the clone, it doesn’t need to get big.

I just need clones from the 4 TK#2 in the veg tent.

#194 Weekly update

Here are my 6 Casey Jones cuts below. In less than a week I'll be knocking the dirt off of the roots and moving these six plants to 6" rockwool blocks for my veg-side F&D system. The reason for this week-long intermediary step is to build a solid root mass which insures consistency and vigor for the rest of their lives.

Oh how much they loved the foliar feeding .
I noticed a root at the bottom already.
Yeah good sign all is well .



Today

#121

Transplanted the rest of my seedlings yesterday to 1 gallon pots.
Today I replaced the old 400w MH bulb and 400w magnetic ballast with a new 600w MH bulb and digital 600w ballast.

The 400w was 22" from the canopy.
I'm introducing them to the new light at 36" and will lower it 2 or 3" a day.

Before transplant yesterday.



After transplant yesterday afternoon.

This morning.

Weekly Update
Everything is looking good so far, my environment was too cool there for a while, that kept everything at a snails pace. The Gelato 41 cut is looking good too, not near as bad as I thought it would. I don't have a lot of experience with clones, but I've got a good friend that's helped me with that a lot, even if it just been over the phone. My plan is to make feminized beans, just haven't decided which one will be the pollen donor yet, but I'll probably make a few beans on all of these plants.

Everyone that's still in the comp is doing really well, gonna be some tough competition. Good luck to all.

Still sad but I think they will survive. Going into soil tomorrow.

Some under skirt shots .


The slow poppers are now taking off .
