Looking great in here man, love the SOG. I'm thinking about doing one eventually this year. I love the uniformity. Keep up the good work

needs a sticky just cuz its that dope in here...


was trying to make that cat look stoned but it kinda looks crazy af so I gave up

Not the one I was looking for, forgot all about it:




I was thinking of making this one my new avatar

Looks awesome ayron, definitely trippy lol.

Beautiful progress @Sativied
how much longer till these girls go into flower?

oh and that last cheetah pic is pretty sick, I like

Thanks Mag. I switched to 12/12 a few days ago. One or two plants I"m not certain about yet but sexed the rest. Because they were fairly similar I needed an excused to kill one of the three lines (sort of speak, just different moms) and preferable the offspring from #19. Turns out most of those are male so most of them are out. Rest was pretty much 50-50. I still have a couple of females too many for the 9 I aim to flower.

I cut the males in half, as in 2 'colas' per plant instead of 4. Will probably ditch a few more plants tonight and pot up the remaining females to large pots.

Still running on 400watt. Took that a little too far. Forgot to raise the light, no good coverage of all plants so the ones on the sides stretched a little. Kinda sucks honestly, I can clearly see some stretched internodes along the sides that are clearly from trying to catch up. Easy to see with 4 branches per plant when 2 of them still fall in the footprint of the light.

I posted this a while back in Hot Diggity's journal, explains nicely what causes stretch in crowded spaces nicely: http://5e.plantphys.net/article.php?id=236

I'll probably LST the female a bit once they are in larger pots.

My 600w HPS bulb is old, which is one of the reasons I haven't changed to it yet. Probably will so tonight.

Good stuff sat mate, glad all is well

Hey Sativied, here's my contribution for a new avatar haha

Hope it's along the lines you would like.

Awesome grow well done!

Thanks, going to catch up on your thread in a bit, love that cloner you got.

@Jad3: hehe thanks man, I will save it for now. Having a hard time parting with my current avatar at the moment. Although the red eyes seem to have a weird effect on people...

Male:


I have 7 males left, 1 from #19 line that is extremely short and bushy, at least, still is. Rubbing the stems made it easy to detect the distinct variation in smell. Two of the swan's male offspring are skunky and miss that piney smell, the rest is all piney, but in 3 variations, light but distinct (almost fruity), weird but not unpleasant sour piney that's nothing like the parents or previous generations, and pungent pine (which is darker/danker but not really what I'm after to cross with haze).

Also some variation amongst the males in terms of stems (in all 3 lines), some are more hollow and stretchy, some solid or nearly solid and shorter. Seems to be linked (may just be coincidence with low plant counts), and are both traits from the chunk. The main thing I want to avoid is too hollow as in less suitable for cropping. Haven't checked all the females yet, got 11 left, may ditch one or two more. Although with the swan itself that's 12 plants, 3x4 plant... should fit.

One of the females, was taken with hps light, but color corrected. Note the frosty calyx from the preflower at the bottom in the center.

Had 9 days 12/12.



Definitely better/faster than the CHxCH (and ICExCH) last round.

Potted up the females which are now in huge 1.7gallon pots instead of one gallon. I don't think I will pot up to the 2.7 gallon round pots this time. Used roughly $3 Canna Terra nutes so far. Transitioning from Vega to Flores slowly, barely used the latter so far. I water-water-feed, lightly (400-500ppm of which half is from tap) and can switch back to vega or use some multizym from H&G ( high on N) as soon as I notice negative effects. Flores is NPK 2-2-4, Vega 3-1-4.

Amazing thread OP! I can really see all the time and effort you have invested into this and it just makes me so happy Keep up the good work man

nice red pistils! lol

Lol it's inspired by this one:

Was rearranging the plants and wanted to take some new groups shot and the frost on the swan....and.... 'recharge battery'... Here's the tallest female:

The risk of using the Swan was that she stretched initially even though the colas filled up very nicely. It was more tall in general than stretch. I used short and bushy males in the F2 round hoping to counter that a little. Seems to have worked out nicely.

Shortest female:




Will start harvesting pollen from the males within a few days.
