Thanks @Brainwarp! Nobody’s complaining but if I put it off I might forget. 
I’m going to get started on it today though… Hopefully.

(Storing my new sticker design here so I don’t lose it.)
A few weeks ago when I was done hand-picking out each and every seed, I smoked a doobie from each plant. They were all good, so I just mixed them altogether in this bag:
Last night my wife and I smoked some. My wife said it was very relaxing. I concur; I really can’t describe the effects, but it was very relaxing in the way booze is. It was euphoric and social. I was watching TV, running my mouth and not stressing about anything (I find that significant, personally). It was disappointing that it didn’t seem to last longer than an hour or so, but I only smoked a few hits. So perhaps that’s to be expected.
I had forgotten about it, but gave my granddaughter most of my stash a couple of weeks ago and ran out. So I was digging through a box and found it.

I’m very sorry for the delay, but am confident you’ll get 90% or better germination, so it should be worth it.
Those of you that were interested in seeds, cards are addressed and ready to ship. I have some international stamps, so the Canadian shipment goes out today. You know who you are. USPS already picked up, so consider it shipping on Monday.
The rest of the envelopes go out as soon as I can get stamps. That might be today and might be the middle of next week.
The first few cards don’t say what they are. Sorry! 
They’re DG-87 F2 regulars.
I’m only sharing about half the seeds. If someone else wants their own Double Grape Regular IBL seeds, let me know because I have a few pucks left.
Edit: I found stamps, so all envelopes go out today.

It’s been 16 days since my last confession, and the first F2 (DG87 F2) is a female! Happy day!
Wait - not that one. This one!
(Behind her is the one extant from the second sprout test.)
I had several days of cold nights,and moved the seedlings to the warmest part of the greenhouse and it got hot suddenly and killed two. Here’s what’s left:

I did some training and now I have a nice wide canopy. Double Grape is a great strain for training, and now, so is her regular sister (or brother).

Now I have three confirmed DG-87 F2 females, so everything else got the toss. This is the first female. I didn’t put down the date, but I think she’s around 8 weeks. She’s the largest not just because she’s the oldest. She’s also in a five gallon Home Depot bucket. (Tractor supply buckets are better, with food grade plastic and better lids.)
The second female is a week or so younger. She’s in a tall 5 gallon pot, so less than 5 gallons and much less than the bucket.
The third lady is from the germination test that spawned 10. She’s in a #3, which isn’t three gallons and she’s probably not going to get large.
I mainly just want to know how consistent they are, and if I grow three ladies, are they all good? Inside the greenhouse got down to 42°F the last couple of nights, so I’m going to have to find them a place inside soon. Hopefully none of these will stunt.

Hey 
@rasterman. You can always run some of them cheap heat mats under them. I grew outside in the winter in are 3 season room and used some heated mats and had a pretty good grow. Just used them off the wall brands and ran them through 1 timer and 1 heat control for all that worked out very well for me. That way they got the sun 
in the day and I could always give them heat if needed.

I thought that shredded white material hanging behind the plant was a bunch of perfect white roots from another plant for a minute lol.

Hmmmmm… 
That’s a good idea. Where goes the soil goes the plant. 
I’m going to try that and see if I can get anything through February.
First thing I need to do is fix the drafts though. I should be able to keep cannabis alive in there until December once the drafts are fixed.
I guess next weekend is planned…

I wish. There are three layers of replacement cover for this multi-decadal frame tent greenhouse. What you noticed is the original cover. Some of it’s still hanging from the ceiling, and it’s basically powder when you touch it.
No joke about microplastics.

I used to do auto’s in 5g buckets but switched to 3g as the roots would not reach the bottom…do you think the auto’s will be bigger if I switch back…??
4 Likes
Absolutely. If the roots didn’t reach the bottom there could be something else going on. Not planting the seedling in its final pot or perhaps over-watering. Or letting temps get below 60°F during the first four weeks.
I’ll admit I’ve seen that many times.

This winter I am going to add a supplemental light maybe a 100w for a period (6 to 8 hours a day) when we start to only receive less than 12 hours of day light. Just trying to up the yield got to love a good science 
project.

My autos seem to always get bigger in 3 to 4 gallon pots. I only run regs in 5 gallon ones and up.

For me they get as big as the pot lets them though when I go over five gallons I usually plant multiple seeds.
Edit: when I don’t stunt them but I’m getting much better at that.

My biggest autos were in really big pots and SIPs (when I didn’t stunt them). I had one over a pound in a 75~ gallon bed with 3 other plants one round and one over a pound in a homemade SIP by itself that had about 22~ gallons of soil a different round.

That’s good news!
I just got two letters back, sorry everyone. They say, “Returned for additional postage” - over $4. I think the USPS are being dicks here, but maybe my letter was a micron too thick.
I’ll resend this weekend and send as a package but I probably need some thinner pucks.
