You got it! I'm having fun taking the pictures for my own records anyway.
I'll go ahead and keep posting them.
P.s.... Nice assatar.

Yes please do not stop! I am stoked to see how they turn out for ya. Especially excited to see how you like the aroma and high. I have finished my journey of growing Pandora's Box (due to bug problems) and I already miss that perfumey lemon cherry exotic scent! Some of the best and most unique pot I had the pleasure to grow.

My apology if I missed it in the text, but just curious what percentage of SS you used? Also curious what type of Bat Guano you used when making it? The reason I ask is that my Pandy's were super calcium hungry during bloom, and I thought that it was strain related, UNTIL I heard Sub say that the Happy Frog (which I used) brand of Bat Guano had no calcium in it and I think that is where my problem came from.

Ya man, I can't wait to see how these turn out. One of my first grows included JTR clones from a club here in town. I had less experience then, and used the Fox Farms line of nutrients. That JTR still came out great though. Really lemony. I've also grown out Space Queen twice, once with the Fox Farms, and once organically with teas and EJ nutrients. Both were great. Can't wait to see what the two of them together can do. Especially now that I'm using Super Soil. My previous organic grows faded too early, causing less than stellar yields. No complaints on the quality though, they were super smooth and tasty.

I used Sunleaves guano, and about 50% super soil in the #7 pots (about 6.2 actual gallons).
Also, can't remember whether I mentioned it, but I have been adding 1 tsp of GO CaMg+ per gallon just about every watering. My tap water is really low tds, about 30 ppm, I think. I don't ever check or adjust pH or ppm.
Last watering, I gave them a fungal AACT brewed with worm castings, Alaskan humus, fish hydrolysate, humic acid, a dash of kelp meal, and a little pour of EJ Catalyst. They seemed tto enjoy it.

Ask and you shall receive.
Day 10 (or 11?) of 12/12. Group shot is Plant 1 (left) through Plant 4 (right).
I still think Plant 3 is going to be the winner. It's been the healthiest and happiest from the start, and has a nice strong funk when I rub the stem, compared to the "green" smell of the other three. Plant 2 has been the stretchiest. I actually just tied a couple of it's tops down sideways to slow them a little and keep the canopy mostly even.
So there ya have it.

Tallest plant is up to 32 inches from the soil. They were between 16 and 18 inches when I flipped to 12/12. Seems like the stretch is slowing down. Hopefully that's not my imagination, because I am just about at max capacity for my 4x4 cabinet.

Lookin good my man. I"m curious to see how these do as I'm looking to get some Pandora's Box and do them in SS also. I have a batch mixed already, ready to go. Gonna go pick up some more roots and throw my chernobyl down soon.

What's up Nightbird? Welcome to the show. Have you run that Chernobyl yet? I gotta pick something up for my next run, and Chernobyl is on my short list. That or Ace of Spades. I generally prefer a good sativa, but it's nice to have a variety. I read that AoS has a nice "up" buzz initially, and then the body effects start setting in. Sounds great for an hour or two before bed.

Definitely getting to the good part. Every evening when I check on them, I'm amazed at hhow much they've changed. Always a pleasant surprise. 
Don't want to count my buds before they grow, but I think this is going to be my heaviest yield, yet. (Just based on the shear mass of healthy plant matter in my cabinet).

Plant 1, the narrow leafed shorty, seems to be budding fastest out of the gate. It barely stretched much at all, and the pistils are starting to sprout all over. The other 3 are mostly at the same pace, but Plant 3 takes the win on smell.

Quick update. Not much I can say that the pictures can't say better...

Day 15 of 12/12, and they're up to about 36" from top of soil.
I was reading through some old posts about Pandora on Breedbay, and folks were mostly talking about how incredibly minimal the stretch was. Wonder if the genetics have been changed at all, or if it's something with my environment? My temps fluctuate from about 68 (dark) to 76 (light), and humidity is usually between 40 and 50%.

Thanks, Nugs! I'm definitely excited about it. This is one of my favorite parts, watching them switch over to growing buds.

Some more pics. Day 17 of 12/12. I didn't bring out Plant 2 this time, but it's the one in the back left in the group shot. Believe it or not, they all have trichomes already.

Well, I definitely have 4 plants, and 4 unique phenos! And all 4 are already sprouting trichomes, even at the bases of fan leaves. The resin on Plant 4 has a strong, nose-tingling cherry scent. It REALLY reminds me of the Space Queen I've grown before. I'll take some shots of all 4 of them soon, now that the different phenos are starting to show themselves.
My first try at cloning went so-so... I mostly followed subs tutorial, but mostly just neglected them due to... uh..... the rest of my life... I ended up with two clones of Plant 3 and two of Plant 4. The rest began rooting, then I managed to neglect them to death.
I picked up a 10 pack of Cheese Quake the other day, too. I'll be running that next. If either plant 3 or 4 is worth keeping around, I'll mess around with some bonsai mom training while the CQ's are in.
