TMB's Indoor 4'x4' Veg Tent & 7'X11' Flowering Area

I did my daily check on the girls and found a male plant. I think i have another, but i will give that bastard another day of two to be sure. I did a brief check of the other plants and found many females, a couple I'm not sure yet, and 1 "I think" male. I guess this is when you need to be on top of things, can't afford to fuck up now. I will put the clones in the back roes, hardest to get to, and have the seed girls in the front where it's easier to inspect.
The male plant was a Blackberry Kush X NCGB, the one I needed to bend down out of the lights. The other "I think it's a male plant" is the same strain. BK X NCGB. I will snuff the male plant after my wife comes home so she can see what a male plant looks like. I will take photos too.

Here's the photo update I promised. First photos are the male plant outside, then the veg tent, and finally the flowering area. Look how blue the lights are in the veg tent, and how orange they are in the flowering tent.

Watered the girls today with Fox Farms Big Bloom. I added 3tbl spoon per gallon of water. I used the "super watering" technique.
Inspection day, I only found 1 other male today, the one that I suspected to be male. He was removed, and killed. The rest upon my inspection seem to be females. I was able to identify many females, and a few "I'm not sure about", but the majority are females.
The 3 Mind Bender/Afghangooey cuttings my buddy gave me the cloning lesson on had roots coming out the bottom of the rock-wool. I put them into 20oz dixie cups with Fox Farms Happy Frog soil.
The cutting I took look O.K., but not as nice as his cuttings. Today is day 10 on the cuttings I took.

Yesterday I took 9 more clones, the cuttings came from the 2 nicest/biggest Lemon Purps from seed stock. 5 from one and 4 from another. A couple of the cuttings I took 12 days ago are showing roots coming out the bottom of the rock-wool cubes. I need to make another batch of tea for tomorrows watering.

Super Watered the girls today. I made a tea a couple of nights ago using the same recipe I did the first time;
Guano
Seaweed extract
Alaskan Bloom
Earthworm Castings
Molasses
and Compost
Put everything in a 5 gallon bucket with some luke warm water, put the air stones in and let her bubble away. The girls love it.
Day time temps are reaching mid 70's, and low to mid 40's at night. When the night time temps reach high 40's to low 50's I will feel good about putting the girls outside for good.

The girls came outside for 6-7 hours the last two days. The temps have been running mid 70's, and the forecast is highs in the low-mid 70's all week. Great news, I will now "harden off" the girls by exposing them to more and more natural sun every day. Out at 10:00am today, in at 5:00pm. Tomorrow they go out at 9:00am, an hour earlier then today. Then 8:00am the next day. That will be 9 hours in the natural sun. I'm hoping to have them in the Weed Cage full time by middle/end of next week, April 1st at the latest (weather permitting). That will give them 4-6 weeks outside 100% of the time.
Male to Female Ratio-
Only 2 males in the garden. Both were Blackberry Kush X NCGB . Between 40-50 Lemon Purps that I have seen grown the last 2 years, not 1 male or hermi in the bunch. 100% females from those seeds. So in the flowering garden as we speak I have 23 plants-
2) Sour Diesel
2) Strawberry Cough X Deep Chunk
2) Shiva Skunks
3) Mind Bender X Afghangooey
2) Blackberry Kush x NCGB
1) Purps from Madman
1) Chemo Cinby
9) Lemon Purps
In the Veg tent I have........
!) Jack Herer...1 clone transplanted yesterday
1) SR-71 Purple Kush...1 clone transplanted yesterday
4) Purps from Madman
1) Mind Bender x Afghangooey.....4 clones transplanted yesterday.
1) Chemo Cindy cutting got transplanted today too. I have about 30 cuttings of various strains in the cloning phase, so more to come I hope.

Sounding and looking good, TMB - glad you seem to have gotten your cloning game up to snuff

Hello Bob-
Thanks for checking in. The cloning in the past was done by my partners. I decided to try the rock-wool technique here under my supervision. Out of the 1st 39 cuttings, 18 are now in soil, 3-4 are showing a root or two coming out the bottom and will be transplanted in a day or two. 3-4 were thrown out (dead on top). The rest I will leave alone and see what happens. I have 9 cuttings I took from two of my nicest Lemon Purps, They were taken about a week ago, so I hope to see roots in a week or so from them. I will update with photos after I have a "Talk with the HAWK"!

Here are the girls outside enjoying the sun. All photos are labeled.
Enjoy!

wow... just.. wow

great lookin bunch there, really nice size to start off with. You're goin to get MONSTERS by the end of this season.

Good job man.

Hello W1ckedChowder-
These girls are 17 days into flowering. They are scheduled to be harvested May 1st, or there about.
The mothers and Army of clones that are in the indoor tent will go outside into the "Weed Cage" May 1st. They will be my Fall harvest. I need to start backing off the 18-6 light schedule, and work them into a 16-8 light schedule. That way when they go outside in May they won't go into flowering mode.
If I can get 2'-4' plants into the garden May 1st, I can yield a pound plus per plant in October. I got 4-6oz per plant last year and they were put into the ground June 4th, 3"-5" tall from the Lemon Purps. I got a pound plus off the Mind Bender X Afghangooey and they were 12"-18" tall and full of buds when they went into the ground June 4th. I pulled off all the buds and re-vegged them.

Your gonna need to raise the roof on that weed cage this year!

Great job, variety is the spice of life!

Peace
doublejj

Hello jj-
Glad you stopped by.
Watered the girls today with straight water. They were super watered, meaning that they were soaked in a large/short bucket with water 6" high to soak that soil good. I run water over the top of the soil so she is drenched.
The flowers are starting to swell fast. Every day they are showing noticeable growth.
I need to run, the wife has our truck stuck at the top of the road.driveway.
Pictures soon!

Watered the girls today with Big Bloom, some of these girls are "Blowing Up", and a couple of others don't look as good as they should.
It might be a Flowering thing, who knows?

Watered the girls today with my tea, and Bio Bizz Bloom nutrients was added to the tea. Today is day 29 of flowering and the girls are stacking up.
The veg girls were watered with a tea made with, Compost, Chicken Manure compost, Maxi Crop Sea weed extract, molasses, and earthworm castings. I let the teas' brew for 24 hours.
Photos in a minute or two........

O.K., here are some photos of the flowering girls on day 28, and my army of clones for the fall harvest.
Enjoy!.....

nice pics tmb, they are lookin great

Just wanted to update. The girls are looking great (look great to me at least) they have been in the grow shed since Tuesday due to the cool/rainy weather. I have the co2 back on in the shed, with the cool temps I'm able to keep the temps regulated.
It has been threatening snow or raining the past week, and is raining as I type. We are expecting another large storm Sunday night through Monday morning. Then more unsettled weather next week. Looking forward to some warm weather.

The Girls were watered today with straight water and a bit of Cal Mag, and a little lemon juice to lower the waters pH.
The buds are sure stacking up now, and it's really starting to stink in the shed now,...YEA! I use no carbon filter to control the stink, I live on 10 acres and I can't see another house from my property. The road is about 100 yards away, but I'm legal, so no worries there.
I will update with some grow shed photos soon.

Watered ALL (bloom and Fall girls) the girls today with Fox Farms Big Bloom and molasses. I will feed again on Sunday with my tea and Bio Bizz Bloom nutes. I think on some of the girls that will be their last feeding. Many of the buds are showing orange hairs already. Sunday will be the day 42 (6 weeks) of flowering. I guees the perfect schedule would be; feed on Sunday, water on Wednesday (day 46 bloom),light feeding again on Sunday (day 49) then start flushing with water and molasses on day 53, and 56, harvest on day 60, 61, and 62. It won't happen that way because of the different strains, all finishing up at different times.
