Back to growing, think I can remember how, lol!

Grown 100’s of runs, started in 1970, so have some experience at it. Have not run a plant in maybe 2.5 years or so. Cheap Cali bud, much higher paying job last 3 years, just put it away and been buying my Bud. Think it is time to do an indoor run, under some new LED lights. Been running DE 750 Gavita’s for 5 years or so, GREAT success with them, a killer killer light for sure. Have a huge Gorilla tent, maybe 10 x 8 or 15 x 6 , been so long since I put it up I can no longer remember, but is huge enough I ran 3 DE 750’s, each one over 4 octopot’s, 12 octos in the tent with no crowding, lol. Time to run another.

Not going to use the Gavita’s, just too hot where Im at, elec bill already high. Going to bite the bullet and buy some new LED’s, enough to cover my big tent and a dozen octo’s. From what i see the LED’s will work well, better than my trusted Gavita’s. Looking forward to the color show Im sure I will see with these lights and the seeds I will run.

Since I will use Octo’s, not wanting to come from seed in them, seeds are Regulars, not Fem’s. Would have to run 30 of em to get 12 ladies I want. So, guess, unless someone here has a better suggestion, Im gonna pop 25 or 30 seeds, put in containers, and put outside till I see sex. Wont flower here, so take 3 - 4 weeks . Pull cuts, root the cuts, run the cuts in the Octo’s. Rather come from seed, from seed in an octo is a sight to behold usually, but not wanting all the hassle and making 500 gallons of soil.

Think I will pull the seed collection out tomorrow, and pick the players. Pretty much know what I want to run, and will use known genetic’s to me, but havent looked at them in years, so one never knows.

Not into seed tail pics, dont use paper towels anyways, not into seedling pics. 2 leafed seedling is a 2 leaf seedling, lol. Can google them

Gotta see if i have nutes, gotta make some soil. Will be organic soil, straight non ph’d tap water , do not even own a functioning PH meter, or TDS meter, and the nutes I’ve used for a spell. Know the soil, the nutes, and the plants. We should be ok.

Will post up when something happens, but might be a bit.

Posted asking for help on led’s, got enough replies to make up my mind. Going with HLG650R’s either 2 or 3, depending upon how big my tent is. Find it hard to believe I could cover 12 pots with only 2 650’s but we will see. Realize they throw 1000 watt DE HPS power, not sure 2 1000 watt HPS’s could run 12 pots, but going to see.

Put tent up in closet 5 years ago, hope it’s still in one piece. Was $$$$$ so hope it is.

Sounds great, you say you haven’t seen your seed collection laid out in years? That’s got to bring a smile to your face when you do and think of the memories!

When you put those plants outside to sex them, if you have the capability, you could force them to show sex by doing like a mini-light deprivation or just bring them inside and put in a dark closet. More work for sure, but would potentially be quicker than waiting for them to sex on their own.

Looking forward to the show!

I understand, but no hurry on this run. It is just for me, and have the time.

Pulled out my collection, DAMN, where do I start. Narrowed it down to dsome selected ones.
Now the hard part, picking them. Will be 3 sets of four pots, so 12 will make the grade. Want 4 of each strain.
